New York haul - High end make up

Bonjour!

How are you all? I mentioned in my latest post that life has been pretty hectic, and that I may have had a little trip to New York City....

I've been to the big apple once before, and I did the same thing then that I did this time: spent literally every dollar on make up. And, I'm not even sorry! It's just something that has to be done, right? 

Ok, enough with the boring stuff, here's what I picked up from Sephora  and Saks fifth Avenue:

Sephora:

Tarte 'Lights, Camera, Lashes' mascara
Tarte blush in 'Exposed'

Too Faced melted in 'Melted fig'

Kat Von D Lock it tattoo concealer in 'Light 16'

BareMinerals marvelous moxie lipstick in 'Fly high'

Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow pomade in 'Dark brown'
Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow duo brush

Saks Fifth Avenue:

Laura Mercier eyeshadow in 'African violet'

YSL rouge volupte shine in '19 Fuchia in rage'

'Start each day with your favourite lipstick, and a beautiful smile'

Lots of Love

MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre

Bonjour!

I'm all about primer, whether it be my face or my eyes.

I currently have a handful of products I dip into to prime my eyelids, but one in particular is a favourite and definitely gets used a lot. That is MAC's paint pot in Soft Ochre.

If you're not familiar with MAC's paint pots, they are basically creamy eye primers in a little pot. They can be worn alone as a wash of colour over the lid, or as a primer underneath an eyeshadow to stop any creasing and to help colours pop.

I wear different colours of eyeshadow every day so decided I would best sticking to a neutral shade, and picked up Soft Ochre.

This shade is a matte light skin tone shade and works great for covering up discolouration and veins on the eyelid. I'd say it definitely helps my eyeshadows pop and last all day. I was a little naughty one night and slept with my make up on after a night out. To my absolute surprise, I woke the next morning to find my eye make up was exactly how I'd applied it! How's that for staying powder?

I've been using this almost every day for around 2 and a half months now, and haven't put a dent in it. Think this may get me some make up looks over the next few months.

What's your favourite eye primer?
