So after a whopping 6 month break from blogging I am back! I've just been so busy, I'm now in my 4th and final year of college so I'm flat out.. But recently I've been wanting to get back to blogging. As my first post in 2016 I thought I'd do some recent beauty buys. I know it's right after Christmas and I probably shouldn't be buying so much makeup but I got a wee bit caught up in the sales, with up to 30% off how could you say no?? This is part one of my beauty buys for January because I am expecting a few more deliveries (oops) so I'll probably do a part two at the end of the month!
So first up I put in a little order on www.fuschia.ie . They were having 30% off everything after Christmas and I thought I'd treat myself. I hadn't tried Fuschia much before, but my mam got me some bits at Christmas and I am loving them so far. The packaging is gorgeous and I also love that they are an Irish brand. I got a sample of the moisture foundation in a gift set and I really liked it so I picked up the full size (€25) in the shade Buff. I also picked up a fluffy blending brush (€12.95) because I needed a good one. The hairs are natural and I haven't used it much but I will let you know how I get on! Next I got the Fuschia Try it Kit which I cannot recommend enough. The kit is €39 and you get 3g pots of their mineral foundation and translucent setting powder, along with a kabuki brush to apply and a sample of their mineral glow blush. I am loving both powders so far and am using them both on a daily basis. I just think this little kit is fab for trying out the products without investing right away. The full size mineral foundation (10g) is €45 on its own which is quite a lot if you weren't even sure if you like it yet!
So finally from Fuschia I got 5 individual pan eyeshadows, my mam got me the Fuschia Z palette for Christmas so I figured I may as well fill it up! The pans are €5.50 each which is incredible value for the quality. The shades I got (above) are Bisque, Butterscotch, Leah, Chinchilla and Oh My Orange (my personal fave)
like Nyx, Glamglow and Bioderma in stock.
Finally I placed an order at Inglot, they were having 10% off on St. Stephen's Day and I couldn't resist. I picked up Inglot duraline, which I have been wanting for ages. I wanted it for my gel liners to prevent them from drying up, but have since seen tons of other uses for it. Duraline is €12, and it's a polymer liquid product which basically keeps your eyeliner fluid and makes anything you use with it last all day. It can be used to enhance pigments etc. I then picked up two lipsticks from the Black Swan collection in shades 436 (grey) and 437 (black). I am such a sucker for an unusual lipstick, I know I'm not going to get tons of use of them but I just love having unique colours in my collection and actually the grey one is quite wearable! Finally I got a set of travel brushes (€30) which includes 3 double-ended eye brushes and a cheek brush. These are the most adorable things ever, the whole case lying flat, opened is about the size of my hand. They are teeny tiny and perfect for popping in your handbag!
So that's basically what I got! I can't wait to use all of these products more, and some of them are already firm favourites. Thanks so much for reading! Hopefully my next post will not take another six months! 😂
