Hi, it's Meg.
Today I'm going to show you some of my recent purchases and what I think of them. A few days ago I had a massive splurge on make up and I know that hurt me and my bank account but I haven't splurged in a while so I guess it's okay?!
So the products I bought are: MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal, PS... Amplif-eyed mascara, Essence Stay Natural Concealer, Velvet Teddy by MAC, PS... Eyeshadow Palette, Chai Tea Latte Baby Lips, High Lights by technic and MUA Transparent Powder.
I'm loving the MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal palette! It is £4 from Superdrug and comes with 3 dfferent colours to conceal different areas as well as a 2 normal concealers. Before, a few weeks ago I'd never used a concealer so I'm just opening my eyes to them all but I'd recommend this if you have dark circles, redness, yellow undertones etc.
I also bought a Primark mascara after being totally swayed to it as of the lovely rose gold packaging and amazing name aha. It is called Amplif-eyed and it has claims to define, add volume and to lift lashes. It 100% does and it was £2!! I love the length of it and it definitely defines my lashes but I wish it thickened them too! If you prefer long lashes and want a mascara that does that pick this up. It was only £2 too so you can't go wrong.
Two other products I bought are the Stay Natural Concealer from Essence and Translucent Setting Powder from MUA. I love this concealer because it's great for my dark circles and over my spots. It also stays all day and looks so natural. Again, this is £2 and I love how compact it is! Secondly, the MUA powder is in Translucent and just sets my concealer all day. It's £1 and does what it says!
Swatches of the PS... Palette from the top left to top right, middle left to middle right and bottom left to bottom right going down my arm.

High Beam by technic is a product I'm having a love-hate relationship with. It's quite gloopy and hard to blend but at the same time a pretty shine. It was £2.99 but I'm not sure if I like it enough to recommend yet!?
Another recent purchase is my Baby Lips in Chai Tea Latte. This was £2.99 in Superdrug yet £4.99 in Boots which was odd!? Anyway, this is part of the Holiday Spice collection collection and is very, very autumnal. It's a deep red and for a Baby Lips very pigmented and still moisturising. It's my favourite and easy lip balm and I just love it!!

2 very different products I bought are the PS... palette and my MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy. I bought Velvet Teddy after seeing it everywhere. I'm not going to go into Velvet Teddy because I'm sure you all know what it's like - brown undertones and lovely autumnal shade on the lips.
I bought Primark's palette for £2.50 after seeing the lovely shades in it. I particularly love the bottom left cranberry shade as it screams autumn to me. All the shades are shimmery and not that pigmented but I still find it easy to create a nice look. For £2.50 it's worth it.
Swatch of Velvet Teddy;
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my reviews on these make up products. These are only my opinions and for some products I don't like you may love!
Have a great day!
Byeee,

Loved reading this post! I've always wanted Mac velvet teddy, it's such a gorgeous shade! I think the high beam you got is a dupe to the benefit one. Although Benefit is more expensive they do a mini version which is £5 I think. I must try Primark's makeup one day too!! xxx
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a dupe and I've actually got the mini high beam. I much prefer high beam hands down but for the price you can't go wrong! You need to try Primarks range Amelia!!
DeleteGreat post! I love MAC's Velvet Teddy and finished it in a year, something new for me! I've always wanted to try the MUA palette but didn't know if it would be any good...

Thank you, it's lovely! I recommend all MUA Palettes!! I loved the Prime and Conceal but also love their eyeshadow palettes - so affordable and great!
DeleteYou got some really nice things! I can't believe how cheap the Primark mascara is, I'll definitely need to pick that up! Would love if you could check out my new post? XX
