Recently I have bought quite a few new beauty products and have decided to share my first impressions of them with you all. Some of the products I have wanted for ages so I can’t wait to see if they live up to the hype.
MAC Lipstick – Velvet Teddy
I have wanted Velvet Teddy – the lipstick coined by so many bloggers as the perfect nude – for a really long time now, so I was really happy when my Auntie got it for me as a present. It really is the perfect brown toned nude, something I have been really enjoying lately rather than pink tones. It is a matte finish but not drying at all. This is definitely a must have for any lipstick lovers out there.
Makeup Revolution Iconic Lights and Contour Palette
I’ve spoken about how much I’ve been wanting to try the brand Makeup Revolution on my blog before, so I’m very excited that the first product I’m trying out from them is their contour palette. It comes with 4 beautiful highlight shades and 4 brown shades. The highlight shades I am so impressed with, they are more pigmented than any other powder highlights I’ve tried without being too in your face. The brown shades I’m not sure about using for contour yet because they are fairly warm toned, recently I’ve been using them as eyeshadow while I get used to them. The pans are huge and great quality so I really want to try more from Makeup Revolution now.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams – Stockholm and Zurich
Yes, I have tried the NYX lip creams before so I hope this isn’t considered cheating a first impressions post, but the other day I picked up two new shades, in Stockholm and Zurich. I wanted a couple of slightly pinker toned nudes because my other two – Athens and Abu Dhabi, are really brown toned. I really like both these shades, particularly Zurich, and they feel amazing on the lips – like I’m not wearing any at all.
NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow – Day Club
I have found that NYX eyeshadows are really pigmented and this one is no exception. Day Club is a shimmery gold toned brown. I was thinking of picking up a matte brown when I went to the NYX counter, but after spotting this stunning shade which I don’t own anything quite like, I couldn’t resist, espeically for £3.50.
What beauty products have you recently purchased? I would love to hear in the comments!
