Holiday Post: Make-up Mega-Haul


So if there's any doubt that I have a substance abuse problem, here's the proof.  It's a huge blessing that I'm on a strict skincare routine so I can't binge on skincare too.

My standard, go-to, daytime look is pale creamy eyes with black liner, lots of mascara and a slick of pink lippy.  However, when on holiday I like to take advantage of the colour I turn and use more bronze and peach hues as well as experiment a bit with colour.  I then find a look I love, swear I'll wear it everyday and then arrive home never to wear it again.


I also attended a Netflix event last week where Ruby Hammer demonstrated some amazing Bollywood make-up ideas that were so inspiring and surprisingly wearable, so I picked up a couple of items to do some experimenting with that in mind too.

I was very excited about the arrival of NYX make-up which is why I had quite a binge, using the excuse that I needed some new bits and bobs to go away with.  Therefore the majority of this haul contains NYX products but there's some L'Oreal and Rimmel bits too.

Eyes 


NYX Cream Shadow in Pinky Beige 
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Dark Brown 
NYX Powder Brown Liner
NYX Single Eyeshadow in Pure Gold 
NYX Glam Shadow Stick in Pink Ruby 
Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencils in Jet Black, Stormy Grey and Sable Brown 
L'Oreal Colour Infallible Eyeshadow in Innocent Turquoise 
L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic in Waterproof Black 

Lips 


NYX Colour Lip Balm in Xie Xie 
L'Oreal Rouge Caresse in Dating Coral 
Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil 

Everything Else 


NYX Stick Blush in Orchid
NYX Powder Blush in Cinnamon 
L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Varnish in Ingenuous Rose 

So as you can see, I didn't muck about with my haul this time!  Obviously there's loads here so I won't be able to review it all, but if there's anything you'd like to see reviewed or swatched then let me know and I'll make sure I do it when I get back.

Disclosure: all paid for by me....worryingly.

  1. Oh dear - I (almost) wish I'd never read this post because now I'm checking out the NYX website and there are 7 different mascaras all sat there waiting! Would love to see the blushers swatched please - after mascara I think blusher is my next weakness! x

  2. Can u review between nyx jumbo eye pencil and glam shadow stick? Since they're similar in shimmering color and used for the eyes, I can't decide which I prefer to buy. Which one crease the most and the fastest? Thanks ^_^
