Mini Beauty Haul (MAC, Dior, Clinique etc.)


I must confess, i have been a bit naughty recently...I went shopping again, oops! A few days ago I run out of my favorite mascara from Clinique, which is why I went to town to re-purchase it. In the shop I picked up a few other items I quite liked. All of them were quite pricey, so I am afraid that I won't be able to eat and drink for at least a week now haha! Jokes aside, I thought I'd show you guys some of the things I got.You might see a theme there, as I am currently obsessed with dark green and metallic.


OPI Lucerne- Tainly Look Marvelous
Diorshow waterproof liner in Mint
Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in 256
Clinique mascara double volume
MAC eyeshadow in Greensmoke


The first thing I got was my Clinique lash doubling mascara, which is my holy grail product. If you'd ask me what beauty item I'd choose if I could only use one for the rest of my life, I would say Clinique mascara without even hesitating. It is THE best mascara I have ever used (and I've used a lot of different mascaras), so if you guys never tried this one before: Stop what you're doing and go buy one RIGHT NOW. The first thing I like about it, is that the bristles are made out of hair and are super soft. I am not a big fan of plastic bristles, as they pull at my lashes and cause them to break. This mascara curls my lashes and gives them a lot of volume and length. It doesn't clump or dry and it lasts me for absolutely ages! I am in love with it and would never ever trade it for any other mascara in the world.





Next I went to the MAC stand to look at their lovely stuff. Now if you know me, you are probably aware that I am a massive MAC fan and I am always super excited about their collections and their insane variety of eyeshadows. I picked up this gorgeous sparkly dark green, because I thought it would be amazing for some smokey eyes. It is very pigmented and the colour is unbelievable! When I first used it on my eyes I realized that there were also some gold pigments involved. I am in love with this eyeshadow,it's so glamorous and I have been wearing it on nights out a lot!



I then walked past Dior and decided I needed an eyeliner to go with the MAC eyeshadow. I really liked this dark minty colour, and again I noticed some gold pigments, which I thought was quite interesting, as eyeliners tend to be more neutral. Apart from the beautiful colour, what made be buy it was the fact that it was waterproof. My biggest problem with eyeliners has always been that they would crease and smudge or even completely disappear by the end of the day. I've worn this eyeliner without a primer a few times and it stayed in place, which pleased me a lot.

  


Also from Dior I got a pink-ey nude lipgloss. I've heard quite a few people rave about this product, so I thought I'd give it a go. I really liked the colour and the consistency of this product, as it wasn't as gooey and sticky as most lipglosses are. It moisturizes the lips and gives them a nice shine, so all in all, even though it was a bit pricey, I do think that you get what you pay for. (The packaging is absolutely gorgeous as well!)




The last thing I got was a nail polish from OPI. I love the brand, they have the most amazing colours ever and the bottles do last me forever without drying out. I picked up a metallic silvery colour, because I am in love with everything metallic, being it jewelry, clutches or beauty products. One thing that slightly bothers me about this nail polish is that is takes ages to dry and chips off after about two days, which is an annoyance for someone like me who hates doing his nails. Apart from that, I really quite like it.




These are all the things for my small make up haul, I personally love to read/watch them because I think it's always interesting to see what other people are purchasing and what products they are loving. I hope you are all having a lovely day! xxx
