Recent Purchases || February & March

Hello!

In January, I did a little round up of some of the things I'd bought and you seemed to enjoy it so I'm doing another one now for things I've bought during February and March.

Real Techniques brushes



You will have seen these in the review I did last month (click here to read it!) so I won't write much about them, all I'll say is I'm still loving them!

Makeup Revolution Essential Mattes Palette

I bought this at the same time as I bought the Real Techniques brushes I just mentioned, although I'm not sure if I've mentioned it! Its full of neutral, matte shades which are all insanely pigmented and easy to blend. All this for only £4?! I definitely recommend having a look at some of Makeup Revolution's palettes!

L'Oreal CC Cream

I bought this as it seems slightly magical - a green cream that turns to the colour of your skin and corrects redness. I have to say that I really like using it, It's light and perfect to just put on in the morning. It has a very warm undertone so if you have a cool, pink undertone to your skin then I wouldn't recommend it, the same with if you are very pale!

L'Oreal BB Powder

I bought this as I'd run out of powder and remembered how much I liked it when I bought it last year to try out! I use it to set my base everyday and it never lets me down!

L'Oreal Brow gel

I bought this because I wanted to be able to add some definition to my brows without filling them in, and it does just that as well as keeping your brows in place all day! There is one for blonde/light brown brows, a medium/dark one and a clear one too.

Barry M Top Coat

An essential really, it helps to keep you nail polish on longer and give it an amazing shine!

Statement Necklace

My mum bought this in the Matalan sale for a murder mystery evening and I have since claimed it as my own *insert evil laugh here*. I mean it's gorgeous, I couldn't just let it go unloved;)

Pastel Bag

Matalan is heaven for pastels at the moment, I chose a baby blue bag which cost only £16 and I take it everywhere (apart from school obviously) it fits so much in! I took it to work with a purse, a bottle of water, two packets of Soothers, a box of Strepsils (yes, I was getting ill), a sandwich, and probably a lot more things I didn't really need but it still had plenty of room and actually closed!

Collection Eyes Uncovered Palette

I have the Nude Bronze shade of this little palette costing only about £4. The shades are beautiful and so pigmented too!

L'oreal Lipstick Shade 228

This is the perfect pinky-red, matte lipstick and I am totally in love with it! I'm trying to break out of my comfort zone with lipsticks and delve into bright shades for summer so I will get plenty of use out of this!

Stripy Top

I bought this top earlier as a little treat for myself, it's not from a kids section and it wasn't in the sale (I only buy Topshop things in the sale, anyone else?) and I'll definitely be wearing it a lot!

I bought a dress and shoes for my prom today and I can't wait to show you, but you're going to have to wait until I've bought everything else, sorry;)

I hope you enjoyed this post, as always, I bought everything with my own money unless I've said otherwise!
