Christmas Makeup Haul 2018

A makeup haul will always fill me with joy no matter how old school it may get nowadays. Below is a mixture of makeup, some that I received as gifts and others that i bought myself.






Top left : Nars ‘Loaded’ Eyeshadow Pallet 
It’s a beautiful neutral pallet with a mixture of matte and shimmer shades. 
I’ve found every colour to be day-time wearable. The shades are well pigmented and easy to blend.





Top middle : Nars ‘Laguna’ Bronzer
This is a cult classic. I’ve had a couple of these before and highly recommend, it’s one of my all time favourite bronzers and I’m glad to have a back up!
It’s the perfect shade between a contour and bronzer - not too warm but not too cool. It’s easy to create contoured cheek bones but can also be brought up and on the cheek bone as a bronzer.


Top right : Mac ‘Oh Darling’ Highlighter 
This is a limited edition highlighter from Macs ‘Shiny Pretty Things’ collection that I believe launched just before Winter. 
It has a gold warm base so looks create with a bronzy makeup look. It’s not too intense as some highlighters can be. 





Middle left : Mac ‘Beet’ Lipliner 
A winter must have is a berry toned lip liner. I’ve heard a lot about this shade from Mac so really wanted to get my hands on it. 

Middle : Mac Bronzing Powder
This is very similar to Nars Laguna. The only difference I personally notice is this one seems slightly less pigmented. But the shades are very similar. 

Middle right : Mac ‘Babetown’ Lipstick 
Another limited edition lipstick from Mac. This finis is cremesheen so it’s a very glossy finish. It’s really comfortable and moisturising to wear, however this finish isn’t the most long lasting. This shade is a light pink - very girly and feminin. 






Bottom left : Mac ‘Lightscapade’ Highlighter 
I’m yet to test this product. But i was drawn to this highlighter as it’s not like any others I own. I have heard a lot about this shade so wanted to try it out. 
I can imagine it’s fairly intense and pearly. 

Bottom middle : Nars ‘Apoline’ Lipstick
I’ve been using this a lot recently and I’m really enjoying it. It’s very pigmented and actually applies more pink than it looks in the tube. It’s a stunning shade that I like to wear with a darker eye to brighten things up! 

Bottom right : Urban Decay ‘Cherry’ palette
Last but certainly not least! This absolute beauty of a palette is new from Urban Decay. It’s berry toned which isn’t like any of their palettes before. I love all Urban Decay palettes and have quiet a collection, so I definitely needed to get my hands on this one.

Red lip & bare face

Whenever wearing a red lipstick i always felt that it was so bold that i needed a lot of mascara to balance everything out and pull the look together. I also always felt i looked strange with a red lip and no eye makeup because it went from one extent to another.

However, today i tried on a new lipstick and lip liner that i recently got (MAC Cherry lip pencil and MAC Russian Red lipstick) without any makeup on the rest of my face just to see what the lipstick was like on. Before putting on the lipstick i had just plucked my eyebrows and put some brow gel through my brows to keep them in place. With no makeup on my eyes or face i wasn't expecting to like the look - i just wanted to see and feel what the lipstick was like to wear. However, i actually really liked the bold lip against nothing else on my face. A few months ago i would 100% hate this look because i wanted to make my makeup perfect to how i knew i liked it, but recently I've been enjoying experimenting more, and i may even wear this look soon if I'm feeling brave!
