EmiliaStyle: Beauty Haul

New in my Collection| Beauty

I've recently added a few, new products to my collection, and I thought I would share my first impressions with you. I've had a chance to try them all out and since I'm pretty much in love with all of it, I couldn't resist writing about them. Enjoy! <3

M.A.C Lip Pencil "Soar": I've never been the biggest user of lip pencils but when I saw this one at the counter, I thought it would go really well with the majority of my lipsticks and decided to pick it up. It's the perfect mauvy-nude that goes with everything, just adding a little more plumpness to your lips.
M.A.C Lipstick "Twig": I've been eyeing this satin finish lipstick for a while now and finally decided to put it in my basket. It's perfect for everyday and believe it or not, but some of my lipsticks have been running out and it was the perfect time to justify a new one ;)
Lancome Lipgloss in "403": This is a really pretty sheer, baby pink lipgloss that screams summer. You can definitely layer it to create a barbie pink look but I like wearing this when I'm not doing anything outrageous with my makeup and just want a nice shine.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation "Ecru": I've been looking for a new foundation that gives medium to full coverage without being super heavy on my skin. I've finally found it in this product. I've only been using it for about a week, but I've really enjoyed it so far. The coverage is good because you can layer it nicely but I don't feel it on my skin throughout the day, especially at work, under harsh store lighting.
Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer: This is a repurchase that I got on a whim but I'm so happy I did. I've been using the L'oreal primer and while I like it, I have yet to find anything that works as well as this Hourglass one.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer "Custard": Again, this is another repurchase and after not using it for quite some time, I thought I would pick up a new one. It's even more perfect then I remember and it works wonders for my dark circles and blemishes.

Benefit Cheekathon Palette: I'm not the biggest lover of blushers but this palette has definitely lifted my spirits about the product. I love that each colour is its own full size and while it may not be the most practical palette, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'll be doing a full review of this product soon, so I won't babble to long about it here. Look forward to that post ;)

L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza: I've never really tried L'oreal mascaras in the past (weird, I know) but I thought I would pick this one up and try it out. People have been raving about them for years, and I'm really impressed with this one. I've only used it twice so far but both times, I really like the volume and length it gives. There isn't much clumpiness to the product so it really gives your lashes a lot of height.

So these are the new editions to my collection, I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know some of the products you've loved using for the start of summer! <3

I've added to my makeup collection these last few weeks, so I thought I would share with you what I've bought<3

Sometimes, you just have those days when you're feeling inspired to pick up a few new pieces and in the past few weeks, I've really been gravitating towards somber colours and as you'll probably notice, the darker nudes.

NYX Eyeshadow in "Sin": My eye immediately went to this shadow when I was at the NYX stand. I though it was such a pretty colour but still so wearable. I've used it a few times since buying it and honestly, the colour looks gorgeous on its own. I do, however, recommend a primer underneath because it won't last on your eyelid without it.

L'Oreal Nail Polish in "Pass the Vino": I've recently gotten back into painting my nails. For a few months, I just really couldn't be bothered with doing anything with them. But I really love this colour, I think it's great as a transitional shade between darker winter colours and spring pastels.

NYX HD Concealer: I've wanted to try a new under eye concealer for a while now, and since I've been really impressed with NYX products lately, I didn't hesitate. It's creamy and applies well under my eye (although you do need to set it with a powder). I did unfortunately get it one shade too light but it still works fine for me (I'd recommend going 1-2 shades lighter then your actual skin tone).

Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in "Lolita": I. Love. This. Shade. I really wanted to finally try one of these because they are raved about everywhere. So, when I went into Sephora, I wanted to choose a colour I could wear everyday. This was the first shade I saw and it does not disappoint. Yes it's a little bit drying (it is matte after all) but the colour stays on forever and it's a perfect shade of nude without being too light and making me look dead.

NYX Micro Brow Pencil in "Taupe": I needed a new eyebrow pencil but didn't want to splurge on my Anastasia one so I thought I'd give this a try. I've used it a few times and to be honest, I like it just as much. Honestly, if you have access to NYX then I'd recommend trying it out if you don't want to dish out the $30 for another pencil.

The Body Shop "Insta Blur" Eye Primer: I decided to pick this up at the same time as the primer and I'm really happy I did. This works very nicely and it doesn't have a greasy effect on my eyelid like some other primers do. And of course, it keeps my eye makeup on my eyelids, which to be honest is the most important thing ;)

The Body Shop "Insta Blur" Primer: I'd always heard good things about this one but had never really tried it. While its been working for me, I'm not 100% sure it holds up to my all-time favourite. I think I still need to use it a few times to really figure it out.

Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Moisture Serum: I haven't been using a serum these past few months and I think that has really affected my skin, especially with this dry weather. While I don't have any negative thoughts about this right now, I've only been using it for a week. I'll give it a few more weeks before I really comment on it.

Well I hope you enjoyed reading! I don't always accumulate this many new products in the same time frame, so I thought I'd take advantage and write up a little post about them.

Have a lovely day!
