Beauty Buys | Feel Unique and M.A.C ♡

Okay, so it's true, I went a liiittle overboard with the sale items on Feel Unique and really treated myself! How could I possibly pass up deal's so good?! (I would highly advise checking out their sale!).

Maybelline New York Eraser Eye Concealer

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

It may seem unnecessary, but I did purchase two concealer's (whoops!) as one was high end and the other was drugstore. I wanted to do a comparison post and I thought this would be my opportunity to do so, so keep an eye out for that one!
The first is from Urban Decay and the second is from Maybelline. I have heard many beauty guru's rave about both of these concealer's so I thought that I would personally see what all the fuss is about!

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Maybelline New York Falsies Big Eyes Mascara

I also bought two mascara's as well (not that I really need any more but hey ho!). The Maybelline mascara is a re-purchase as it is amazing for evenly coating the lower lashes whilst also giving them volume at the same time! The Benefit mascara is one I have been lusting over for a little while now as I received a free mini sample (along with hundreds of other girls!) with an issue of Elle Magazine in March of this year and I finally took the plunge and bought the full size of this beauty as there was a 15% off Benefit goodies the day I decided to take a browse on Feel Unique (fate huh?!).

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Rose Gold Eyelash Curler

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Rosie Spot Slanted Tweezers

The Vintage Cosmetic Company also caught my eye whilst I was on a roll and I chose both of these cute tools to add to my ever growing collection. As you all know, I love rose gold and I have never actually owned a pair of eyelash curlers (crazy huh!?) so obviously I needed to buy some (and they were on sale...) and I settled for these.
I couldn't decide between the paisley floral pattern or the red and white spot style tweezers but, in the end, I was persuaded by the spotty ones as they are just too cute - however, I really do want the floral ones too! (#LIFE!!)

Urban Decay Eyeshadow - Lounge

More Urban Decay goodies! Yay! I know I keep talking about how gorgeous everything is... But, how gorgeous is this super sparkly eye shadow in the shade Lounge?! I own the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay so I'm familiar with the high quality and pigmentation of their eye shadows, so naturally I took the plunge and decided on this .... single shadow. I'm a little too excited to try this out. (prepare for Instagram photo's!)

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Original

I never really thought that eye shadow primer was that necessary but I really have had enough of my eye shadow settling in the creases of my eye lids! To be honest, I probably wouldn't have purchased this product if it hadn't have been in the sale so I really do hope it is worth it!

Maybelline New York Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara - Dark Blonde

I'm currently running low on my Benefit Gimme Brow and, as it was quite expensive, I decided against re-purchasing it even though I do absolutely love it! I chose to try out something different (it's definitely some sort of a phase that I'm going through lately...) that was also a lot dearer. Again, I have heard many beauty guru's talking about how much they love this brow mascara and it's just an added bonus that it's from the drugstore. Another 'try it' product for me!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner - Black

I also purchased the Rimmel ScandalEyes 24hr Gel Liner as I really do struggle with applying winged eyeliner and I have heard that the easiest way to apply it is with a gel and a eyeliner brush, so I am going to give this a go and see if it works. Fingers crossed!

Benefit Hellow Flawless! Custom Powder Cover-up SPF 15 - Ivory 'I Love Me'

Now this one IS a re-purchase that I have been meaning to buy for a couple month's but kept putting off (the first world problem when buying expensive makeup) because of it's price. I do own a drugstore powder but I just prefer a little more coverage and it was 15% off!

Real Techniques Setting Brush

Maybe this Real Techniques Setting Brush was a biiit of an impulse buy, but it was only £5.59 and I had already spent over £100 anyway... Ooops! Plus, at the moment I am using a cheap eye shadow brush to set my under eye concealer haha.

M.A.C Electric Cool Eyeshadow - In Orbit

I also received a M.A.C gift card from two of my friends for my birthday a couple month's back and finally had the opportunity to spend it. I decided to go for one of the limited edition Electric Cool eye shadows named In Orbit which is a light warm neutral colour with gold reflects. The Electric Cool eye shadows are a new generation of texture with a spongy formula which provide a medium to buildable coverage when applied with your finger. They are creamy to the touch and easy to apply and blend. 
I did swatch In Orbit in store and instantly fell in love with it as it felt so smooth and gave a shimmery/sparkly effect which I just adore! There are a variety of colours within this collection ranging from green to blue to purple to brown - there is definitely a perfect shade for every girl out there!

M.A.C Lip Pencil - Dervish

I also bought another lip liner (I now only own three so I think I can purchase some more...) in the shade Dervish which is this lovely pinky-mauve colour. I am yet to try this out but I will, of course, let you know my thought's. I feel like this lip liner will be a 'your lips but better' shade with a slightly deeper rosy hint to it, yum!

Recent Beauty Purchases | Anastasia Beverly Hills & Sigma ♡

Oh yes, of course I went shopping.. AGAIN! I just really can't help myself, especially when it comes to makeup. 
This time it was a small little online shopping trip to Cult Beauty, Sigma and Beauty Bay totaling to the small amount of around £40 (which is a huge shocker for my bank balance as it used to much larger amounts - oops, don't judge me!).

Anastasia Beverly Hills Pro Series Contour Refills (Banana)

Yes! This product is finally mine! I am so excited to own this as I see plenty of Beauty Guru's on YouTube use this particular shade (normally as part of the contour kit buuut I accidentally ordered the wrong shade and couldn't be bothered with the fuss of exchanging and realised it would be a waste of money as I only wanted this banana colour) as an under eye setting/highlighting powder. I am yet to try this product out so I really hope that it does not disappoint.

Beauty Bay - Z Palette (Small - Black)

I have also seen these little posh gadgets floating around here and there and because I purchased the re-fill pan version of the Anastasia Banana powder, it was only necessary that I grabbed myself one of these to place it in. I now also have an excuse to fill it with even more makeup!!

I purchased the smallest size 'Z Palette' as they can get quite expensive and I figured that a larger one would be a waste of money as I currently only have the one powder to place in it (see, I can be sensible sometimes..).

Sigma Beauty

It is definitely no secret that I utterly adore Sigma brushes, so naturally I took my two-monthly browse (I have limited myself to this otherwise all hell would break loose with me having a zero bank balance) and treated myself to three of their individual eye brushes.

The three brushes I purchased are the E15 Flat Definer, E55 Eye Shading and E40 Tapered Blending. Of course I also made the decision to buy them all in rose gold copper! How could I not!?
I purchased the E15 Flat Definer brush because I don't own anything like it and it is so perfect for placing eye shadow along the lower lash line. I also don't own an eye shading brush so the E55 Eye shading was most certainly a must-have for my collection. I own around three or four blending brushes but none of them are as big and fluffy as the E40 Tapered Blending, so obviously I had to get this one as well.

It is very safe to say that my eye brush collection is growing. There is just something about makeup brushes that scream 'buy me' every time I go shopping... Oops!
As we all know, blending is key so it is pretty much a necessity to have multiple eye brushes. Plus buying anything new is always exciting and receiving parcels in the post makes it feel like it's your birthday or something (that's my excuse anyway!).
