I have just returned around a week ago from an exceptionally amazing four week holiday in Europe with my Family. I had the pleasure of meeting a slim amount of remarkable cities that I have dreamt of visiting since I can remember. The whole experience was incredible with beauty lying around every corner. I had the chance to visit Paris, London, Italy and Dubai and was greeted by magical architecture, breathtaking monuments, unimaginable views and of course mouth watering restaurant's, cafe's, bakery's you name it every where you look! But lets not forget about the shopping and boy did I do my fair share of that. Lets just say my parents now know every Sephora, Space NK, MAC, Selfridges or any store for that matter that sells makeup and they would find me there staring with hearts in my eyes.
After that very long winded intro let me share with you what I picked up on my travels. Firstly I couldn't resist this gorgeous floral print Ted Baker Makeup Bag which I am absolutely in love with (a girl can never have to many makeup bags right?) If you haven't already noticed from the picture above that I'm a lip product addict I'm letting you know now. It is probably my favourite makeup product hence the reason I thought I needed seven new lip products. I picked up my first ever MAC Lipsticks in Crème Cup and Coral Bliss which are two gorgeous nude shades every girl should have in there collection. Who can resist YSL's famous gold packaging (not me anyway) and when the YSL Rouge Per Couture put together a pack with the shades 1 Le Rouge, 13 Le Orange and 27 Fuchsia Innocent there was no backing out they had to be mine. I found the prettiest purple shade from Shiseido Perfect Rouge in the colour RS320 and a Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourg a pinky red crayon that I am dying to test out! I was in desperate need of a new brow regime and have heard so many good things about the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil and Benefit Gimme Brow so of course these were at the top of my shopping list. I was in search of two things while I was holidaying/shopping an eyeliner for the tight line that didn't smudge onto the bottom lash line and a natural looking mascara for those 'no makeup, makeup days' and was pointed in the direction (from a cheery makeup salesman) of the Nars Long Wear Eyeliner and Benefit's They're Real Mascara. On the powder front I was obliged to pick up the renowned Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna and Sleek Blush in Californ.i.a to try them for myself and see if they live up to there well established names. While I was travelling I ran out of my L'Oreal Lumi Magique concealer which I love but took this as a sign to pick up MAC Pro Longwear Concealer as I have been wanting to try this for months. And lastly I purchased a new product launched from the Body shop All-In-One BB Cream and an old trusted product Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation. As much as I love some of the more affordable foundations out there sometimes it's nice to treat yourself and in hope that your helping out your skin that little bit more.
