Latest Beauty Buys

My lovely readers,
I apologize for the long absence, hope to make it up with a new post and the promise of becoming a serious and constant blogger.



When I went to Superdrug to buy something for my birthday I had a very precise idea of what I wanted: to buy the Sleek Makeup Lagoon palette before it was too late [it's a limited edition from the Spring Aqua Collection], a coral lipstick and something I really needed like a concealer or an eye primer.

When leaving the store my small loot consisted of: MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit (nailed it!), MUA Power Pout in Runaway (nailed it?) and a gorgeous blush by Sleek MakeupPomegranate (not planned).



Unfortunately the Lagoon palette was not available in store (you can still find it - and the l.e. blush Mirrored Pink as well - on the website) because there was the new limited edition Candy Collection, which palette is lovely and quite similar to the Lagoon one, so now I have to decide which one of them to buy (or if to buy both of them would be a good idea). 
I wanted something from Sleek makeup so badly that I switched my interest to their blushes (always wanted to try one) and I started swatching them on my arms. The limited edition Blush By 3 - Sweet Cheeks has lovely colours, but I'm currently in a more shimmery mood; I was going for their famous Rose Gold blush but it was sold out, so in the end I purchased Pomegranate and even if Rose Gold is on top of my wish list now, its berry brother has already stolen my heart.

lovely, isn't it?

Then I had a quick look at the Rimmel counter, I swatched all the Apocalips and some Kate lipstick but the more interesting shades were missing their testers and if there was a tester, the product was sold out.

I finally moved to MUA and I bought their Conceal and Brighten kit in the shade porcelain-beige (I was looking for a concealer for some time and I read some good reviews of this one) and their new Power Pout lip tint and balm in the shade Runaway, which looked coral inside the store and turned out a lot less orange on my lips. Love the shade but I'm still looking for my perfect coral lipstick.



Last but not least, I took advantage of a promotional birthday discount on feelunique.com and ordered a Real Techniques Starter Kit and a Rimmel by Kate lipstick n. 19; hope to show you these last buys soon ^^ 


And now I have a question for you, my lovely readers:
