Yes, I have absolute no self control. I keep telling myself I need to stop buying makeup as I have far too much but I just don’t listen.
I will be on a makeup no buy at least until May. I will make it my goal for the next two months, but until then, I will enjoy and try out all the new products I have bought.
I am a huge fan of the Dior Diorskin Forever Foundation (reviewed here). Its one of my favourite foundations at the moment. When I found out that Dior came out with the cushion version of the foundation I decided I needed to try it out. I have only used the Dior Forever Cushion foundation twice so I don’t have a fully formed opinion yet, but I will definitely be reviewing this foundation in the next weeks.
The Dior Addict Lip Sugar scrub is definitely a princess product. There is no need to spend £24.00 for a lip scrub as they are really easy to make at home, but this one is so convenient. The sugar particles quickly dissolve on contact with the lips and leaves a nice pink sheen. I love this product as there is no need to wipe down the excess sugar or anything and it leaves the lips hydrated a prepped for lipstick. I’m totally in love.
I loved the lip scrub so much that I needed to try the Dior Addict Lip Glow. I chose the berry shade from the Spring 2017 collection because I am a sucker for anything that´s limited edition. This lip glow is as hydrating as the scrub. I love to use it when my lips are dry but I still want to have a bit of colour.
I am such a sucker for Hourglass products, every time they come out with a limited edition palette I instantly feel the need to get my hands on it. I was trying to convince myself that I didn’t need another blush palette, but as I said in the beginning of the post, I don’t have self control. So here it is the new Hourglass Ambient Strobe Lighting Blush Palette. It’s lovely but I do feel a bit guilty for buying another palette, so much so that its been with me for a week and I still haven’t even switched it, which is absolutely ridiculous I know.
The Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir mascara was a re-buy. This must be the fourth time I purchase this mascara. Its definitely my favourite, it does it all: length, separation and a lots of volume. Love it!
I´ve always wanted to buy a Jo Malone candle and I finally did. I opted for the Peony and blush suede sent and I love it. It doesn’t release the scent until the wax melts but once it does the lovely scent fill the room. It has notes of red apple, peony and suede. I do burn it sparingly but that just makes it feel even more special.
Let me know what new products you have been trying lately.
Amazing products babe, love your photograpy!

Me too, I really want to try more of their products
DeleteI love the Dior Lip Glow! I have the original color, but the berry and coral (or was it orange?) shade are both beautiful as well. Jo Malone's Peony & Blush Suede is one of my favorite fragrances, and I'm thinking of investing in their candles next!

The candle is lovely, and it really fill up the room without overpowering
DeleteI'm with you on the 'no self-control'...I'm supposedly on spending ban until April but that went down the drain last week when I placed an order for a couple of Burberry products. It's shamefully but I can't help myself. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean with the Marc Jacobs mascara, it's my holy grail and pretty much the only one I use.

DeleteYou've got some really pretty looking products here that seem interesting, too! I've heard such great things about Hourglass in general, that palette seems to be quite popular. I know they can be a bit pricey, so I'm waiting until I absolutely need more blush to really check it out, they're gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, girlie, and I hope you're having a great day so far!

I know its a bit expensive for a lip scrub but I absolutely love it, its so convenient!
DeleteI really need to try the Dior Forever foundation, I have heard so many good things. I don't like cushion foundations so I think I will skip that but the Hourglass palette is stunning! Great haul xxx
ReplyDeleteALittleKiran | Bloglovin
I'm still on the fence about the cushion version of the forever foundation, but the liquid version is by far my favourite foundation
DeleteMarc Jacobs makeup is amazing!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, Beauty & Colour
I haven't tried much, whats your favourite product from the brand?
DeleteThe photographs are amazing,
ReplyDeleteI just don't use those brands as they still test on animals.
Have a lovely day,

Why does high end makeup have to be so good yet so expensive :( I've been eyeing up the hourglass palette for ages but keep stopping myself from buying it x
