Makeup Haul Dior, Mac and Laura Mercier

Thanks to the well written christmas list and the very generous boy who went traipsing into town with it in hand,  I was able to unwrap with delight some makeup goodies that have been on my list for a while and I couldn't be happier with the choices :)

1st up is Macs Powersurge eye kohl pencil, a gorgeous gold with slight shimmer, I actually use this all over the lid as a base and it's gorgeous. I like to pair it with plum eyeshadow shades, especially trax, twinks or mulch. The two compliment each other so well and look great for a night out. This colour is beautiful on the waterline and is a popular favourites with brides. I would definitely check it out when you next pass your Mac counter.

Mac Trax

Powersurge and Trax

Next up on my list was the gorgeous Dior Amberdiamond. I've been thinking about this highlighter for an unhealthy amount of time and I'm pleased to say it does not disappoint :) Although expensive, the luxurious Christian Dior packaging and product do not disappoint with a beautiful array of golden, pinky tones which can be used as highlighters, blush and even individual eyeshadows. The colours are all wearable and would suit any skintone-I'm olive skinned and the colours really compliment my skintone. I'm an obsessive one for blush and highlighters and if you are one too this should definitely be on your list ;)

I will do a makeup look for you guys soon using this as a blush and eyeshadow soon so you can see the full effect of this highlighter.

Next up is Mac Tan Pigment

I do love Mac pigments they have a gorgeous range and they last for ages. This is a gorgeous bronze shade, excellent for summer and can be applied thick extremely metallic or blended out for more subtle shadow. I can't wait to try out an arabic eye makeup with this pigment, I recently wore this out for New Years eve layering it with some dark brown eyeshadows and it did not disappoint.

Mac Prep + Prime Translucent Powder

 I've been looking for a very light translucent powder just to wear through the T zone to mattify the skin as I like a dewy finish from my foundation. This ticks all my boxes, light, loose and not cakey at all. I just dust a light layer of this through my tzone on days when my skin feels particularly oily or I fancy a matt finish. I wanted one that didn't contain spf due to flashback in photographs.

The next two products I will include in a tutorial, Mac harmony which is a beautiful shade, brilliant for contouring and blush and Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation. I love this, I purchased this after hearing all the youtube hype and so far I am loving it. It's a medium to heavy coverage and has a lovely flawless finish. I apply mine using a real techniques buffing brush and am the shade cashew beige. It doesn't leave a overly dewy finish but definitely achieves a glow and gorgeous finish. I will report back when I have worn it over a longer period of time with some photographs so you can see the full effect.

Hope you all had an amazing christmas and had an amazing start to the New Year. 

Lots of love xxx
