Shopping the Stash.







This is a totally unintentional "Shopping the Stash" but since starting my new job and uni, I've fallen back in love with makeup! I've been able to wear eyeshadow and try different looks with all kinds of lipsticks from my collection- it's been so lovely! I've found that there's a few things I've been reaching for recently and they're all old favourites.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in 120 Vanilla- I can't believe I forgot about this foundation, it's amazing! It gives great coverage without being heavy on the skin and it gives a natural but flawless finish. I still hate that it hasn't got a pump applicator though!
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel- I've found my skin has felt a bit saturated recently and my L'oreal Skin Perfection Moisturiser has felt a little heavy since the warm September weather crept in. This Clinique moisturiser is nice and light but still hydrating. Win.
Urban Decay NAKED Basics Palette- this has been my go-to everyday palette as I love the matte neutral shades. I'm super excited about the October launch of the NAKED Basics 2 which I will deffo be buying!
Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in 145 Rayonnante- this is quite simply the most luxurious, moisturising lipstick with the best colour payoff I own. The raspberry shade is stunning and compliments my skin tone really well. 
Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in 59 Dedicace- this lives in my 'handbag essentials' bag as it's the perfect 'go with everything' pink shade. Again, it's got the quality and luxury of any Chanel lipstick but this is the perfect light pink for me- not too blue tone or too chalky, just right for me! 

Thanks for reading- I hope you're all OK, thanks for stopping by x

Shopping The Stash.




Shopping the Stash- I've not done this for agesssss! There's loads of products that I love and then something new comes along and it gets pushed to the back of the drawer and forgotten about- sound familiar? I've rediscovered some old favourites of mine recently and thought I'd share them with you.

MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter- I remember loving this because it's super subtle and not at all glittery or gold. It's the most beautiful pink pearl shade and I love the imprint in the powder. I'm not going to use this every day as I don't like wearing highlighter to work but I'll deffo be sporting it when I'm on my days off.

MaxFactor CC Cream- this was my first CC Cream and after liking the new Bourjois one I thought I'd crack this one out for comparison. I remember it being really light but giving good coverage and lasting really well. It's also got a matte finish which is a must for me!

Dainty Doll Cream Blusher in 001- I'm really sorry I can't remember the name for this shade and it's not written on the compact! I've felt ready for a more Springy blush and this baby pink matte cream blush is perfect for work and play! It lasts all day and doesn't move on my face half way through the day. It's already made it's way into my makeup bag.

Soap & Glory Lid Stuff Eyeshadow Quad- I was totally reminded of this when I watched a beauty YouTube video recently and thought I'd dig it out. It's the perfect everyday eyeshadow palette and my fave shade has to be the matte nude shade it's a great base! 

I hope you liked this post- hopefully I'll do this on the reg and rediscover some hidden gems in my collection! Thanks for stopping by x
