Make up Haul

     I went to London Drugs the other day and this is my haul! It is small but only because I'm saving up for New York and Disneyland this year, so expect bigger hauls in the future!
      Maybelline colour whisper in Pin up peach 30 $6.99(on sale), Maybelline dream bouncy blush in pink plum 40$7.99(on sale), Revlon colourstay shadowlinks
 in sand which is a pearl and chocolate which is a matte$3.49 each,and Rimmel London soft Kohl kajal eye-liner in jet black$4.99(on sale).I did also get Physicians Formula mineral glow pearls in translucent pearl, but I sadly forgot to photograph it with the rest of my haul as I got it earlier when I went to the states.
     I do really like this product, however it is expensive. the first layer is sparkly and is deceiving and after the first use is losses its sparkle but having said that, it does give a nice glow just above the apples of the cheeks or the brow bone. Over all good product but I recommend waiting until it's on sale.
          I really love this! I highly recommend it, and I plan on buying more. it has a bit of shine and it is a sheer lipstick. It's very moisturising although it does wear off quickly it doesn't make your lips dry at all. I just cannot get enough of this stuff, it goes on really nicely. I really would like to get this in the who wore it redder and and mad for magenta. 
 
      Firstly I want to apologize for this crappy photo, my camera is broken so I've relying on my Iphone and trying to hide lights and keep up with no shine is very hard, I do promise it will get better! Ok on with the review! liking it is to weak a word but love is a little strong so its in between, when I took off the seal the snap broke and now it doesn't close properly, I read the reviews on the Maybelline website and someone else had the same problem, so if you do purchase it just be careful. Now the product it's good it blends supper nicely and melts into the skin really beautifully if you are going for a more natural look this shade (pink plum 40) is perfect. Applying it is a bit awkward as you have to use your finger (ring finger is best) and just swirl it around the blush and then on the apple of your cheeks just build it p as much as you want or just a little for a subtle flush. 
     I do like this product, however I was upset to find out it was not very pigmented and I find one eye is always darker than the other and it might have to do with the way I'm holding the brush. It does blend nicely it could blend a bit better but I would recommend this for beginners as it is lighter so if you make mistakes they aren't noticeable, or if you just want a very natural look for the day, they are cheap and they slid together so you can make your own palette which is one of the reasons I bought them. I was also disappointed in the lack of colours they had as most of them are bright vibrant colours, they only have a select few of browns and only 2 shades of green which both happened to be either to dark or light for my skin tone, these were really the only 2 colours I really did like, I really hope they come out with a matte black and a pearl white would also be lovely. Having said all of that it is a good product and I probably would buy more in the future.
     I've only used this product once and I really wasn't happy with it. I did cat eye and then in my waterline and it didn't stay in my waterline and it wore off on my eyes, (I did rub the little flick a lot that day so that probably had something to do with it rubbing off) I wasn't to pleased it could rub off so easily as I usually have a hard time finding good pencil liner in black, which is actually black and not a dark grey or sparkly, so I was happy when I tested it on my hand and it was actually black. I will test it again but I probably will go out and find a better pencil liner.
