Latest cosmetic purchases and reviews

Love the idea! Love watching you tube videos but so many are american and british and they review stuff you can't get here. Would love to hear about your elf stuff. Do they ship to ireland??

I'm all for a seperate cosmetic purchases thread, especially if we include reviews and the like:)

sexyd4lady, you're just feeding my addictions!! Can't wait to check out more youtube
Also can't wait to hear what you think of elf! Very excited that they can be delivered here

This sounds like a great thread, I'm all for it! Wanted to try Elf stuff so looking forward to hearing what it's like!

Got a few make up bits myself so happy to write up about them as well!

I went to check out Inglot in Dundrum after work and spent my entire bonus there!!! I got a Pro Card off them so got 20% off all my purchases. I bought:

Brush Roll with 42 brushes - they are all synthetic. There is a natural hair roll too with 32 or 36 brushes. I went synthetic because they clean better, work with more products and some people have allergies to natural brushes. i LOVE them

Freedom Palette for 5 lipsticks - I needed to add more lipcolours to my kit and these are a lovely quality/texture and great value. You can also get brow gels/powders, comcealors and eyeshadows for the freedom palette.

Gel Eyeliner - I got a lime green one and a white one. The white is a bit difficult to use but I think it may work with more practice.

Loose Pigment - in a gorgeous purpley blue colour...totally pretty and a really soft texture. It goes on really smooth and easy.

Eyelashes - neon green pair for a shoot and a cool short 3 strand spikey pair I want to use on the bottom lashes.

Cannot let myself near another make up shop for a while now....I have zero self control!!

giddybootz, do you know how much the brush set was? I'm looking to buy myself a new set of (affordable) makeup brushes and I'm trying to decide between Crown, ELF or possibly Inglot if they're a reasonable price.

Thanks in advance!

I have brushes from the elf studio line and i find them great.

Ooh a great idea for a thread!

Was away for hte weekend so did a major spree in duty free All Mac stuff let me seee what I got:

Mac blusher in 'Gana' from their Mickey Contractor (hehe:o) range.

It is actually more of a grey colour then this pic, and Im using it as a highlighter. It gives a nice subtle 'glow'



Another Mickey Contractor piece, a Paint Pot called Chilled on Ice

Quite nice but a bit glittery, more so then it looked in the shop which is annoying but is easy to use and should be nice for a bright day time eye.


Got my usual staple foundation, Studiofix fluid for Nights out.
Also decided to try their Mineralize foundation for daytime which is so far working really nicely. Gives just enough coverage and is buildable. Wont bother putting up pics!


Mac Lustre lipstick in Syrup.
Have been looking for a pretty pink for daytime and this ticks all my boxes! Not too nude and not too pink.



Mac eyeliner in 'Teddy'.
Have seen alot of reviews on this bad boy and really like it. It's a metallicy type brown. Can't really get a great pic of it


Mac Moisturising Complete Comfort Cream
Really rich and thick cream. Good for dry skin and contains lavander to help sooth the skin. Would definitely recommend, I can notice a huge difference in my skin, nothing was working and within a few days it's really improved. Definite winner for me!


Mac Nailpolish... Can't remember the name of it, but it's the colour on the left. Gorgeous shade, part of their limited edition range, Also cannot remember the name, but its NOT the Mickey Contractor one Really wanted the other shade on the right, but twas sold out






Also couldn't resist the sky shopping brochure on the plane, so bought the Benefit Confessions fo a Concealaholic kit. Only 25euro, saving something like 14.50 so I had to!
Havn't tried it yet but have heard good things so looking forward to it.



Phew ! I think thats it

Off-Topic maybe; but has any recently been able to buy the Urban Decay Naked Palette?

I spent months looking for the Naked Palette, managed to pick up two of them at the end of January in Debenhams(Henry St). They only had a few left even though they just got them in that day! Might be worth giving them a call

Actually try this

http://www.debenhams.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?parentCategoryId=59001&catalogId=10001&categoryId=59001&langId=-1&productId=147577&storeName=Debenhams.ie&storeId=10052

I asked in Debenhams Henry St on Sunday about the Naked Palette; they said they'd be getting more in at the end of Feb. I heard a lot of buzz before Christmas but I'd love to get a proper review here if anyone's used it? I'm wondering if I should bother getting it!

Thinking of getting a few things from Elf, anyone know how light their foundations are? I'm the lightest shade in most foundations, but I can't tell what the ones on the website are like.
