New Beauty Bits


 
 
Happy New Year! I hope you had a fantastic 2014, had a brilliant New Year and have an amazing 2015.

A new year calls for one thing and one thing only. New beauty products. Personally, I got given a lot of new products for Christmas and have bought a couple recently myself, so I thought I would share some of them with you.
 



Urban Decay Naked 3



I have wanted this palette for so long as I have heard so many people rave about it so I was very happy when my parents got me it for Christmas. First of all can we just appreciate the beautiful packaging…stunning. There is a wide variety of shades, some which are matte, which are perfect for creating any sort of look. All 12 shades are highly pigmented and I find they all stay on for a long period of time without sliding off or creasing, even without an eye primer.

 

Benefit set-Sexy and Scrumptious


 
I was very vague when asking for any Benefit products for Christmas as I simply couldn’t just choose one to ask for so my parents gave me one of the beauty sets as one of my presents. The one I have is the Sexy and Scrumptious set which includes High Beam, Posie tint, Coralista blusher and brush, 5 eye shadow shades, They’re Real mascara and an Ultra Plush lip gloss. High Beam is a gorgeous shimmery highlighter, Coralista is a really natural blush which complements all skin tones and the They’re Real mascara is always a favourite of mine. At the moment these are the only products that I have tried from this set but I’m sure the others are just as high quality as the rest of the set and I may do a review of the whole set when I have tried all of them.

 

Mac-Chili
Revlon Matte Balm-Standout


 
I have always wanted to try out a darker red lip so I saw Christmas as the perfect opportunity to ask for a couple and try them out. The Revlon ColourBurst Balm is a god given gift. The shade is beautiful- a bright red colour- and as it is a matte balm it stays on all day or night. I wore this on New Years Eve and I didn’t have to reapply it once throughout the whole evening even through eating and drinking which I personally think is amazing for a drugstore lipstick. If you don’t own one of these (first of all why!?), second of all go out and get yourself one (I would highly recommend it!).

I can’t say too much about the Mac lipstick as I haven’t had a chance to try it out as of yet but I can comment on the shade. A beautiful orange toned red colour – perfect for the winter/spring time. This is also a matte formula so I am expecting it to stay on as well, if not better, than the Revlon balm, so watch this space for a possible review sometime in the near future.




Mac Keepsake Neutral Eye Palette 
 
 
Again, can we just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful packaging of this product… okay moment over. This is one of the limited edition Mac Keep-sake palettes and it contains 8 neutral eye shadows with a double ended applicator. There is a mixture of matte and shimmery shades, all of which are highly pigmented and are great for creating a neutral but slightly smokey eye look. Another moment to appreciate the packaging please… okay I think I’m just about over the beauty of it.

 

Body Shop Honey Bronzer


 
This bronzer is something that I have wanted to try out for a while now, so I thought while I have a bit of money it was the perfect time to purchase it. Again the packaging is beautiful but I’m not going to go through all of that again (I get a bit carried away haha!). I find this great for contouring my cheek bones and just underneath my jaw bone to create a really natural glow.

 

Tanya Burr Lip-gloss-First Date


 
Another thing that I have wanted to try for ages has been one of the Tanya Burr lip glosses. I picked up the shade First Date which is a pale pink shade. I only bought this yesterday so I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet but everyone who I have spoken to about these has nothing but good things to say about them so I’m sure that it will be great quality.

 I hope you enjoyed this post and make sure to comment below or send me a message on instagram or twitter (links below) if you want to see any full reviews of the products mention or with any future post suggestions.
