New York Make Up Haul

I can finally say I have visited Sephora and holy crap that place is amazing! I am now even more envious of the fact Americans have them and we don’t. I didn’t actually buy much as the stuff I did get was pretty expensive, but I did spend a good hour drooling over everything there. I picked up the famous Nars Sheer Glow foundation which I have wanted for the longest time! I got colour matched to Fiji which is the perfect match for me, I have only used it once so far but I am loving it, i’ll be sure to do a full review when I have used it more. Whilst at the Nars counter I also naughtily bought the Virtual Domination palette, now at $70 this may seem expensive but it does come with a huge Laguna bronzer, three blushes and a highlighter which makes the palettes contents worth over $120. It’s also amazing, I’ve used it every day since I got it and the bronzer and deep throat blusher are to die for. 

Mac is sooo much cheaper in America, in the UK we pay £15 for one lipstick and in America they pay $16 due to the exchange rate that means that Mac lipsticks are only around £9! I obviously couldn’t resist and picked up a refill of my favourite pro longwear concealer and Velvet Teddy lipstick which I have been trying to find for the longest time. Whilst there the Mac worker informed me that there was a new Miley Cyrus lipstick out and all the proceeds go towards the Mac Aids foundation so I obviously had to pick it up. This isn’t actually out in the UK yet either so I feel rather special knowing I have it before anyone else. Expect reviews soon!

Last but not least I visited Walgreens, I was on the hunt for a CVS drugstore so that I could check out all the make up but I just didn’t have enough time and Walgreens was the best I could find. It wasn’t the largest store so they didn’t have that much make up, but i did get the Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Concealer that everyone talks about, it isn’t the cheapest drugstore concealer but having used it I can see why, it is really good! The last thing I got was a Wet N Wild eyeshadow palette in The Naked Truth, I hear a lot of good stuff about Wet N Wild so I thought I would get something from their range and I must say the eyeshadows are amazing quality!
