Makeup Haul!

So recently I've done some shopping, and these are the things I purchased, and a mini review alongside them!

NARS Laguna Bronzer £27 

Amazing, amazing bronzer! But you can find cheaper alternatives. 

Seventeen Brows That Brow Kit £5.99

This is the best brow kit for dark brows and is a repurchase!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics £22

I have a full review already on my blog here.

Seventeen Skin Wow Primer £5.99

Very similar to Benefit high beam, but it can be used all over your face as well! Really nice for gorgeous glowing skin. 

Kiko Smart Lipstick 918 £3.90 

A really nice lipstick for the price, but there weren't that many colours that I liked. 

Topshop Lipstick Inhibition £8

I loved the colour of this but the actual lipstick bullet broke off! 

MAC Lipstick Spirit £15.50

Perfect Kylie Jenner nude colour, which I was looking for!

So that was everything I have bought recently! If you would like more in depth reviews on any of the products, then let me know in the comments!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Vs Naked 2 Basics

So I have been waiting for the release of the Naked 2 Basics palette for some time, and when I saw Feel Unique had 10% off I grabbed the chance and bought it.

Now I love my original Naked Basics, but I'm undecided on the Naked 2 Basics.

The Naked Basics palette is more on the warm side, and therefore goes along with the Naked Palette. The Naked 2 Basics is more cool toned, and goes alongside the Naked 2 Palette. 

Both of the palettes consist of the usual high quality buttery eyeshadows Urban Decay produces. They both include a good light all over the lid colour and good crease colours. They also provide an option to smoke up the eyeshadow with the darker colour in the palettes.

 As you can see from the pictures above I have used it a lot! I do really love the Naked Basics palette and would repurchase it again and again! I feel there are a nice mix of colours with some nice highlighting shades and crease colours, which are all super blendable.

The Naked 2 Basics palette does also have some lovely shades, I just prefer the more warm toned colours. I feel like this palette is missing the black, as I'm not a fan of the grey. I also really love the colour foxy from the original basics palette (as you can probably tell!) and I feel it isn't complete without it.

Overall I think they are both equal in quality and both are gorgeous, but I think the Naked Basics palette wins me over. Tell me what one your prefer in the comments!

The Makeup Addict Tag!

So this week i'm doing the makeup addict tag! Now if you haven't guessed already, I have an addiction to makeup! So this tag is perfect!

Now lets begin...

Which product do you keep buying, despite having plenty of in your collection?
Probably blushers, I have quite a few..!

Whats the one product you couldn't live without?
Mascara, otherwise my eyes look tiny!

Your favourite makeup brand?
NARS! I really love their products, and may have made a sneaky purchase yesterday...

How big is your makeup collection?
It's not massive, but for a 15 year old, it's not small.

How do you like to store your makeup collection?
Currently I have a dressing table, and most of it is in Muji Acrylic storage, but i've actually ran out of space to store my makeup so some of it is in random bowls! But I will be getting a new dressing table sometime next year!

How many items of makeup do you have in your handbag at the moment?
Currently only a real techniques buffing brush and a random face powder!

If you could raid another blogger's stash, who's would it be?
Definitely ViviannaDoesMakeup. I love her blog and youtube so much! I also feel she would have the most luxurious products!

How long does your normal makeup routine take, and how many products do you use?
It takes me around 25 minutes at the least, depending on what look i'm going for. I use around 8 products on a daily basis, but I sometimes switch it up!

Have you ever bought makeup with the intention not to use it?
No?

And that was the last question! I hope you enjoyed this tag!

Leave me a comment with an answer to one of these questions!
