Hi Lovelies,
Hope you have all had a good start to the week?!
I am not one to always splurge on makeup and beauty products, but I did notice where I have been travelling quite a bit this year, I had made a few beauty purchases along the way. Funny enough, they are all new products, not ones that I ever used before....I am stepping out of my comfort zone Shock Horror!
So, below I am sharing with you all My Recent Beauty Buys and giving a little feedback on how I am finding them so far.
Kevyn Aucoin-The Sensual Skin Enhancer
When I was back in the UK, I popped into Space.NK with my sister and we came across Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer. I had been looking for a new concealer for some time, something to use instead of my go to Bobbi Brown. Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer is SUPER pigmented, so the tiniest amount goes a long way. I liked how it brightened my under eye area and covered up the darkness. I cant lie it is pricey and more than I would "ever" want to spend on a beauty product, but the pay off is A-mazing. It comes in a 18g jar, so where it is highly pigmented and you only need a teeny weeny amount, it will last you AGES! On the box, it does state you can also use it as a foundation and corrector, but I prefer to use it as a concealer. I use it as part of my everyday makeup. Love!

Sephora- Beauty Blender
I had been umming and ahhing on weather to purchase one of these, as I have been happy thus far applying makeup with either my fingers or my makeup brushes. In the end, I caved in and bought one from Sephora and...........well...lets just say I'm happy I didn't purchase the original Beauty Blender. I haven't got anything bad to say about it, maybe I need to practice using it a little more to get the technique right. I haven't seen a great deal of difference in using this or my makeup brushes, but I will keep you updated on this one, if I change my mind and feel it has made a significant difference in my makeup application.
Info: I bought this one from Sephora in Kuala Lumpur, I cant find any links for this product I'm afraid.
Rimmel- Kate Lipstick in Rossetto Rouge (107)
I have not bought anything from Rimmel for, I don't even know how long!! I heard lots of good stuff about the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks and was looking for a new lipstick to update my makeup look. Can I just say "WOW", this lipstick is such a beautiful colour, the pigmentation is on point, it is a matt finish, last's a good few hours and only cost me "£5.49". I wish I bought more! I would say, this particular colour would suit most skin tone's, it is like a berry red colour. Love!

Mavala- Double Lash
I don't want to say too much about this product Mavala Double lash, as I will be reviewing it shortly for you all! I know I am "extremely" late on the Lash growth serum craze, it's just that I always had my doubts and was not willing to go all out on paying lots of money for something that may not work. I then came across this product in Boots, it is affordable, easy to apply and I liked that it is a multi purpose product, as well as your eyelashes you can also apply to your eyebrows too!
So, stay tuned for my review;)

Acca Kappa- Body Lotion & Natural Lip Balm
These two products by Acca Kappa I did not purchase. It actually came in a airline toiletry bag that I was given on one of my flights! I have seen the name before, but have never thought to try their products. The Body Lotion is Green Mandarin and has a gorgeous scent, my skin seems to absorb it as soon as I rub it in, leaving it soft to the touch. The Natural Lip balm I have been using everyday as part or my morning routine. My lips can get really dry, especially living in a hot country where you are in and out of air conditioned rooms. This product contains Jojoba Oil & Sweet Almond Oil, so it leave's my lips feeling nice and moisturised. If I had to purchase myself, I would probably re-purchase the lip balm, I do like the body lotion, it's just that I am happy with what I currently use.

Essie- All in One Base Coat & Cocktail Bling Nail Polish
I have been using Essie nail polishes for some time now and was on the hunt for a new colour. I wanted a neutral tone (not pink or cream) and came across what is described as a pale grey colour. I like the subtlety of it against my skin tone and again, I think it is a colour that would suit most skin tones. This has been my go to colour recently and easily goes with my outfits, Love it! Whilst in Boots where I purchased my Essie Nail Polish, I saw they also do a All in One Base Coat, which I was in need of, so I thought why not give it go! To be totally honest, is is not the best base coat or Top coat I have ever used. I prefer to use Leighton Denny or OPI. But definitely thumbs up to Essie Nail Polishes!
