As you can see, recently I have had a not so little splurge! To be fair to myself I did buy this over the whole summer and did buy some of the items in duty free, so I did actually save money... so it's all okay haha.
I'll start with the things I bought from Clarins because why not haha. Firstly I picked up the Colours Of Brazil Bronzing Compact. This is basically a huge (20g!!) bronzer that looks beautiful in the compact and on the face. It's super natural looking and isn't chalky at all. I also bought two Lip Perfectors in 05 and 06 which are basically lipglosses that have really different applicators that claim to perfect the look of your lips.
From Dior I only picked up one thing, which was actually a lip duo that came with a lip glow and a lip maximiser, both super luxurious and well worth the quite expensive price tag. The packaging for these is also to die for (haha drama queen).
Next up I got the Clinique high impact mascara from the airport too, this is a very natural looking mascara and I've found that this works best for me as a bottom lash mascara. But I'm still going to persevere with this as a top lash mascara in the hope I might find a good way to use it as it can be built up so it's not too natural looking. This doesn't smudge around my eyes either which is great.
Now onto Mac bits and bobs! I didn't go crazy at mac because when it came to buying things I just forgot every thing I've ever wanted and panicked, both times I was at mac haha. So I only bought two things, the first being the ever so famous Soft&Gentle mineralize skinfinish highlighter, possibly the most beautiful thing ever! And also a lipstick in cream cup, which is a lovely pale nudy pink.
Onto slightly more affordable things, I didn't go overboard on drugstore shopping but I did buy a few things to show you. Firstly I picked up this brow gel by rimmel called brow this way (dupe for benefit gimme brow), and the formulae for this is good and it really does fill in brows but I got the wrong colour for me as this was too much of a rich brown shade and I need a more ashy brown.
I also got two mascaras, the Soap&Glory thick and fast which I haven't tried yet but I have wanted this for ages. And I also got the Rimmel Scandleyes retro glam mascara which I am in love with at the moment, it doesn't smudge at all on my eyes like most mascaras do on me and it still gives me big voluminous looking lashes.
Finally my final items are the sleek blush by 3, cream blushers in the shade Californ.i.a, I haven't tried this yet but I didn't own any cream blushes and this was really cheap at like £8 for 3 so I grabbed this off the shelf. My last but not least product was this Collection work the colour lip butter, in 2 cappuccino, I swatched this colour in the shop ages ago and I needed this in my life but all the stores near me had been sold out for ages, but this is just a super nice darkish browny nude colour.
Well this is a long post isn't it! I would say that I won't be buying anything else for a long time, but I most probably will... oh dear.
