I've seen this tag floating around on numerous blogs and it got me thinking, I am a student and should really prioritise food over my face but somehow my face always wins.

Ohhhhh dear. I am a bad person. I'm going to curl up in a ball and reassess my life.
I tag everyone to do the same! It's such an eye-opener!
Plus I didn't realise how many products I use on a daily basis until I wrote them all down.

Naughty Beauty Haul
Yes I know I'm meant to be saving money for Europe but MUA was having 3for2...what could I do?! I only bought three things though...hurray for self control! Err yeh then I went on Feel Unique so 3 items turned into 5.
So what did you buy I hear you cry? Well from MUA I got their Pro-Base eye primer, their gel eyeliner in 'On the Move' and their Undress Your Skin Highlighter.
I must admit, I have always been so impressed with their products and these new ones haven't disappointed. I wanted to try an eye primer as I have never used one but don't see the point in splashing out if I decide I don't like it. This one popped up for £2.50. ADD TO BASKET PLEASE. This feels lovely to put on, I expected quite a sticky feel to it but is was soft and silky. It made my shadow so much more vibrant and, yes, eventually it creased but it lasted almost an entire day before it did so. Normally after a couple of hours I notice creasing so this substantially prolonged this huge pain in the bum I deal with daily.
Their gel eyeliner is a pretty chocolate brown with a slight purple shimmer to it. Purple really brings the brown out in my eyes and I wanted something a little bit softer than my usual black to smudge out for a day-to-day look. This isn't as pigmented as I would have liked and did streak a little at first but once I'd kind of got going with it I loved the effect it gave. However, for the first time ever I was very disappointed with MUA for this product, it came off within an hour or so even with primer and eyeshadow and just smudged into nothing. Sorry MUA!
Lastly, this is my favourite of the 3. A gorgeous pinky subtle highlighter that goes on a dream and gives me a healthy glow. A product I would highly recommend for those who don't want to spend a huge amount, coming in at £3 it is a total bargain! SO in love!
From Feelunique I bought Sugar Strip Ease as an alternative to wax. I was a bit intruiged as to how this would be and I will do a full review next week when I have fully investigated this interesting product. I also finally jumped on the Real Techniques bandwagon and bought the core collection. Why I didn't do this earlier is beyond me. They are super soft and apply my make up like an absolute dream. I want them all now!! So so lovely and perfectly sized. My firm favourite is the buffing brush, it has become my everything brush.
Hope you liked dear readers!
