Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipsticks: Pure Hollywood, Sepia and Dusty Rose | Mini Review

Anastasia Beverly Hills is a brand I'm quite fond of, although I don't own a lot of her products. I own her original contour powder palette, which I'm a huge fan of and I reviewed the contour palette here. I have always wanted to try out the liquid lipsticks and they weren't readily available in the UK (I believe they are now since Anastasia Beverly Hills launched a UK website but are out of stock), but since my trip to the New York - I managed to get my hands on a couple of shades.

Kylie Cosmetics: The Burgundy Kyshadow Palette Review

 

As much as I hate to admit it, I feel like I'm slowly feeding into the Kylie Jenner empire and funding her plastic fantastic life. Slowly but surely I'm starting to really enjoy using her makeup products and I do get quite excited when I see her snippets of products that she's working on on her snapchat. The eyeshadow palettes (KyShadow) were a pleasant surprise on how pigmented and blendable they were. I put off buying the KyShadow palettes for a while because they just looked like typical nude palettes that I already had in my collection, but when she brought out the Holiday KyShadow palette, I really fancied the colours and that they were unlike anything I had in my collection. It was love at first sight.

My American NYX Haul: Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter, Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder, Total Drops Foundation

I'm sure most of us can agree that NYX is definitely one of the best makeup brands out there. The quality for the price is really on point and I am a fan of a lot of their products, especially their lip and face products. Unfortunately for some of us British people, we are not lucky enough to get the new NYX launches or products immediately, whereas America usually do. Luckily for me, I was able to pick up a couple of NYX products on my recent trip to New York that are not yet available in the UK. 

Of course - 80% of the NYX products I picked up were highlighters. 

Kylie Cosmetics HOLIDAY Collection: Kyshadow Palette + Holiday Lipsticks and Lip Gloss Kit

In all honesty, I wasn't super wowed by the Holiday collection but after seeing swatches and the hype, I started to become really drawn to the eyeshadow palette. Unlike my many neutral palettes in my collection, I didn't have one like this. The jeweled-toned colours are all very complimentary to each other, and the fact that they had diamond powder in them made me want the palette more. The lip kit set I wanted to include in my order because I had to spend more than $60 to qualify for free international shipping, and also because I wanted to try out the lip glosses. I wish I had added the mini sets to my order but by the time I realised I wanted it, it went out of stock!
