Collective Haul!

As most of you may know over the past 2 weeks my boyfriend and I have been house sitting, and I collected quite a large amount of makeup over that time. Some was sent, but most was either bought online or in store, so I thought I would show you all what I got! It is also a good way for me to see what I have in my collection that is new so I can make sure I use it.

First up is blush. My favourite is definitely the Nars x Christopher Kane collection blush, I bought 'Silent Nude' and I absolutely love it! The formula is amazing. I also picked up a Too Faced cream blush, one from Mac, Colour Pop and The Balm 'How 'Bout Them Apples?' Cream palette, how gorgeous is the packaging on this one??

I have three new bronzers to try, why I need more bronzer (or makeup for that matter) who knows? The Loreal one is way to orange on me, but its great as an eyeshadow, the loose powdered bronzer from Thin Lizzy is probably my new favourite natural looking bronzer ever, it blends so easily and looks so natural! I have tackled the new Colour Pop bronzer yet, I am so unsure how to apply it? I feel like I need a bronzer brush but with synthetic hairs? I'm thinking those Real Techniques ones with the white handles!

So my Nars collection spontaneously grew out of no where these past two weeks, mostly brought on my the fact that some Nars single and duo shadows were 50% of at Mecca Maxima! So naturally I bought all shades available (I even bought another duo after I had taken all these photos). I also got the limited edition Colour Pop shadow which I adore, and some shadows from Mary Kay and Klara, two brands I have never tried before so that will be interesting!

Staying with the eyes, I was sent a Cover Girl mascara (which I love), a Rimmel mascara (which I hate), and my Mac order came with a free mini sample mascara? I didn't even know this was something Mac did! I also, finally, bought the Hourglass Brow Sculpting Pencil. It is honestly amazing and worth every penny, the rectangle nib takes a little bit of getting used to but after that it makes doing my brows so quick and easy.

We all know I like to go a bit ham on lip products. I bought 5 of the new 6 Loreal Red lips collection, I loved the nudes collection they did so I knew I had to get the reds! I was sent two Mary Kay lipsticks which I actually haven't used yet, I forgot I had them! I picked up one thing from the Mac Wash and Dry LE Collection, the lipstick in 'Steam Heat'. I wasn't  huuuge fan of the packaging but I love Mac LE Lipsticks so I knew I needed at least one!

And here is some more lip products *cutemonkeyemojicoveringeyes*. There is some Rimmel 'Oh My Gloss!', Essence lip creams, Mary Kay gloss, Klara Matte Lip Cream and some Revlon Colour Stains, which I have been obsessed with lately!

Yes I did buy the entire range of Rimmel Rita Ora nail polishes just because of how cute they looked....lets move on.

Just a couple of random pieces here, I purchased this Kit Cosmetics Brush Travel case that had a few bits inside, that was also in the Mecca sale, and I finally got a Colour Pop highlighter! 

That is it for my collective haul, if there is anything you would like a review on, or just see something in more detail on my Instagram, please leave me a comment!

Other than that, I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday (at least it isn't Monday hey!).
