Ok, so I have been shopping again! I think this is my way of coping with a thought of having to go through labour soon! Nice distraction technique I've got there;))
I picked up a few things from Superdrug and Boots but also have been shopping online on Beauty.com ( which I am totally obsessed about!) and was lucky enough my brother was going to Poland so I could give him a little ''want'' list;) I think he got the message when I said he doesn't want to upset a pregnant lady, hihi.
Ok... so lets see what I got this time round:D
Those are all the products I got when I went shopping.
I am so impressed with Makeup Revolution London products that I decided to pick one more palette up and this one is completely matte. The pigmentation for matte eyeshadows that cost £4 is very good, however the light shadows look quite similar while swatched. I love the colours of the last 5 shadows and these are what mainly tempted me to get the palette.
Here are the swatches of the two lipsticks I got from Rimmel and on the left you can see a swatch of a blush by Smooch Cosmetics (got this one on ebay). The reason why I got this is because the packaging looked so much like the Nars one I just wanted to compare and see what the brand is all about. From my research so far I gather that the brand is no longer available online in their shop, which is a shame because not only the prices were very reasonable, the quality of this blush is great and the packaging looks great and expensive for what it is!
Now for my order from Beauty.com here are a few little things I picked up. I also ordered a Tarte foundation but it is still on a back order and I am not too sure when I will be getting my hands on this!
But to the point, they had a family and friends event going on which meant everything on the website was 20% off! What a bargain I thought and picked up a few things I had on my wish list for a while.
So I managed to snap up Origins Drink Up Overnight Mask, which I haven't tried yet but the smell is insane! I am very much into my overnight masks and facials lately, maybe hoping it will help me in some way;)
Then I got full size of Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion in Sin, which I had a sample of and absolutely loved it! It's fantastic even if you want to wear it on its own.
Two Two Faced Melted lipsticks in Fuchsia and Peony and two L'Oreal Infalliable eyeshadows in Iced Latte and Amber Rush. These latter ones are available in the UK but the colours are not, and since everyone is talking about how gorgeous the colours are I had to purchase them!

Ok... and now for the Polish shopping:) Thanks to my brother I was able to get things much cheaper in my home country than I would in the UK!
I asked him to get me my favourite spot brush cleanser from Inglot and a nail treatment that I heard a lot of good reviews about. My nails (touch wood) have been good recently but I think this is due to pregnancy rather than the things I put on them. He got me 3 gel eyeliners in white, black and shimmery taupe and 5 matte lipsticks from their new collection for freedom system!
Here are the lipsticks swatched. I love the colours, they are nicely pigmented, very matte and you can mix and match them in the palette so perfect for when you are travelling! The top row in a palette is my lipsticks from a previous visit in Poland but they are normal creamy ones.
I also got two long lasting matte lipglosses by a company called Lovely, which is a Polish equivalent for MUA here so cheap as chips!
This is what they looked like swatched. I really like the colours and the way they feel on my lips. And also here is the lipliner from Golden Rose which I wanted to try (its nicely pigmented but quite hard) and a freebie green eyeliner. It's nicely pigmented as well, not the softest I have in my collection, but a colour I haven't got so might be using it in the future for a little pop of colour:)
And last but not least my current obsession with lips is truly pictured here! I just couldn't resist asking him to pick up a few Golden Rose Velvet Matte lipsticks for me!
I read so many great reviews about these on polish blogs and couldn't wait to get an opportunity to get these! I have to say that they certainly don't disappoint.
The pigmentation is fantastic, just one swipe gives you an opaque look on the lips. They have a lovely matte finish but not drying, they feel very comfortable on the lips unlike some matte lip products out there. A huge plus must be the variety of colours they have. The range varies from light nudes through dark ones, pinks, darker pinks and reds. I haven't picked all of them up (just the ones I thought I would wear) and my goodness was I right? I love them! A bonus is the fact they only retail for around £2.5 so you're getting a fantastic product for a bargain price!
I hope you enjoyed my lip product heavy haul:D Probably my last one before our baby comes!
Don't forget to also check my YT video out and give it a thumbs up:))
