Hi everyone!
I have a huge (and I mean HUGE) makeup haul! I have collected this stuff from the beginning of the year and bits here and there. I have not got it all in one go. Quick disclaimer, I have paid for all of this myself. I am going to do it by brands so let's jump right in shall we...
New Look
I picked up two nail polishes in the sale. I picked up the shades 'Sweet Rose Pink' (left) and 'Deep Pink' (right). I didn't realise that the right one was called 'Deep Pink' when I bought it and one of my all time favourite lipsticks is in 'Deep Pink' by New Look so it's a match made in heaven. I have only tried the 'Deep Pink' so far but I was super impressed with it.
(Usually £2.99 but I paid £1.50).
Maybelline
I only picked up one thing from Maybelline and it's the Colour Tattoo in 'Creme De Rose 91'. I am a huge fan of the Colour Tattoo's as it is and this is no exception. I recently featured this in my April Favourites post so I won't go into too much detail but I adore this as an eye shadow base, it's fantastic!
(£4.99)
MUA
I lastly picked up a Metallic Liquid Lipstick in the shade 'Spark'. This is a absolutely beautiful electric purple with a blue shimmer running through it and it really is something special. This definitely packs a punch and makes a statement. I picked this up because it was half price at the time and I had been eyeing this colour up for the longest time. I need the perfect eye look to wear this properly with because it's so beautiful! I already have two of these and I love them because they're so fun!
(Usually £4 but I paid £2)
Rimmel
I only picked up this one item from Rimmel and it's a repurchase. This is the Scandaleyes Retro Glam mascara and I love this! It's my favourite mascara I've tried to date because it adds so much volume and I only tried this on a hunch once because it was on offer and I'm really glad I did because I just love this!
(£6.49)
Kiko
I also picked up a single shadow in the shade '137 Pearly Copper'. This is also a kind of duo-chrome shadow and I love this colour so much! It's similar to the palette as I was trying to find a nice option for a shade in the palette and ended up getting both anyway! Again, I can't wait to start playing with this too!
(£2.90)
Primark
The last thing I picked up from Primark is this lip liner in the shade 'Brown'. I don't really have a lip liner this dark and I really want to wear more brown lips. (My favourite 'brown' lipstick is the ColourPop lippy stix in 'Mosh Pit' in case anyone was wondering'. I also can't wait to pair this with other colour lipsticks. It also gives me a chance to try out this with other stuff because it was only cheap.
(£1)
Amazon and eBay finds
I also picked up this liquid lipstick which is also a cool toned nude and it's very much like the other colour but I really love it. Again,this is a liquid to matte which is my favourite liquid lipstick formula so we'll see how this works out!
(£2)
Makeup Revolution
This section is going to be long so I apologise now!
The first thing I picked up from I Heart Makeup was one of their Lip Geek lipsticks in the shade 'Total Diva' which is the perfect, blue toned red. For some reason, this was on sale on Superdrug's website for 76p but none of the other colours were at the time, very strange. This colour is so beautiful and I love these lipsticks, they're great. Plus the bright pink bullet really stands out in my collection.
(I paid 76p but normally £1.99)
Urban Decay
New Look
I picked up this beautiful highlighter! This is the shade 'Gold' and it's a baked highlighter. I feel this may be a little too dark for my skin as I'm so pale but it's a really beautiful, pigmented, highlighter. This looks great mixed with a lighter highlighter on my skin and I can't wait to wear this more in summer.
(£6.99)
(Usually £2.99 but I paid £1.50).
Maybelline
(£4.99)
MUA
This is a very new product to MUA and I can't wait to start playing with it even more! This is the Lip Transformer and it is supposed to change lipstick colours to lighter or darker depending on your preference. I think this is such a nifty idea and there's nothing like this in the drugstore. I've played with it a little and it does work but I will continue to play with it and let you know!
(£3)
I picked these up a little while ago. These are the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers in the shades 'Unity' (left) and 'Dash' (right). I am obsessed with these lip products and these colours are just gorgeous! I also featured these in my April Favourites post so I won't go into too much detail but I always love these lipsticks from MUA.
(£3 each)
(Usually £4 but I paid £2)
Rimmel
(£6.49)
Kiko
This is one of my very first Kiko purchase's (aside from a lip liner). This is the Color Fever palette in the shade '101 Coral Burgundy'. That's exactly what this is! It doesn't look as special in the pans but when swatched, they are really pretty, almost duo-chrome shadows and they are very beautiful! They are magical colours and I absolutely cannot wait to start playing with this more!
(£13.90)
(£2.90)
Primark
I picked up 3 more of the Matte lipstick. I love these so much and I just had to pick up more shades. I picked up the shades 'Mardi Gras' (purple), the pink at the top with no name and a coral shade. I adore these lipsticks and I have done a review on these already somewhere on my blog if you wan't an in depth review but I had to pick up these new colours
I picked up this Super Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade 'Pink'. I wanted to give this a shot because I have tried the normal liquid lipsticks and I really, really didn't like them! They were very sticky and horrible to wear on my lips but I'm hoping because this one is matte, it will be more wearable. I love a good liquid to matte lipstick and I love this colour so we'll see how it goes!
(£2)
I picked up this Highlighter Stick. I have been trying this already and I am enjoying it! It's not the most intense highlighter but it's really lovely to apply and it's not too shimmery, as in chunky glitter. It's a really flattering colour and more natural. I like to put a powder, more intense highlighter over the top of this for a bit more intensity but this is lovely. I can't wait to keep on using it.
(£3)
On the topic of highlight, I picked up these Strobe Crayons. There are 3 shades in here, a silver, a pink/rose gold one, and a more of a champagne colour. I love the variety in this little set and I can't wait to use them. I also love that it comes with a sharpener because I can also use it for a Nyx crayon I have! I love the concept of these and if they're like the highlighter stick, I'm sure I'll love them!
(£3)
(£1)

I picked up 3 of these 3 liquid lipsticks. I picked up a cool toned nude (left), a blue (middle) and a brown toned nude (right). I was after a gorgeous cool toned nude and this one is very pretty! I am still yet to try it out but I love the colour. The brown nude also helps to find a really great brown but this isn't quite the colour I wanted but I do love it. I also love the blue because it makes a statement and I can't wait to figure out a look for this.
(£1-£1.50 each)
(£2)
Makeup Revolution
This section is going to be long so I apologise now!
I picked up two of the Rose Gold lipsticks in the shades 'Chauffeur' (nude) and 'Private Members Club' (dark purple). First off, the packaging is absolutely stunning, very chic and very pretty! I am obsessed with 'Chauffeur' which is the most perfect nude, it lasts a long time and it applies beautifully! This colour is nearly always sold out so I was very lucky to pick it up. 'Private Members Club' is such a gorgeous, vampy colour and again, applies really beautifully. When it comes to the colder months, I will be wearing this.
(£3 each)
I picked up this blush palette in 'Hot Spice'. I had the 'Sugar and Spice' palette and I love it but this one is the more peach version and I don't really tend to buy peach blushes so when I saw this on sale months and months ago, I knew I had to buy it! It's so beautiful and the pigmentation on these like the pink option is beautiful. I am going to be wearing this so much in the summer months!
(Usually £6 but I paid £4)
I also picked up this blush palette which is the 'Blush Queen' palette. I recently featured this in my April Favourites so you know I already love this! I am such a huge fan of baked blushes and having a palette full of them is perfect! These are shimmery so if you're not a fan of that, then you won't like this but I really love that look for me and the colours are beautiful. This has never left my makeup bag since I bought it, I adore it!
(£6)
Next is an item that has been on my wish list for the longest time! This is the 'Highlight' palette which has their three single highlighters that they do. From left to right, we have 'Golden Lights', 'Peach Lights' and 'Pink Lights'. I love mixing these together to get a beautiful highlight and its much easier to store than the 3 individual ones and I am so impressed with this! They are all so intense, particular the golden one, and just add that beautiful shimmer to the cheek bones! Again, this hasn't left my makeup bag since I bought it!
(£8)
I picked up the 'All About Bronze' palette. I have been really into bronzing as opposed to contouring recently and I didn't have any bronzers so I really wanted to try this out. I am yet to try it but I'm sure I will be doing soon. I know that Tati on YouTube loves this palette and I'm sure I will too once I've tried it!
(£6)
I picked up the 'Radient' shimmer brick which is the lighter of the two that they brought out. This is beautiful to look at! I will probably be using the top two colours as a highlighter and the other colours as eyeshadows but they are all so pigmented and beautiful from the swatch and I can't wait to play with this. Plus the packaging is really lovely and thin which makes it a really great item to travel with.
(£3)
I picked up the Salvation palette in 'Dia De Los Meurtos'. I picked this up for free in the Superdrug 3 for 2 offer they had on before but it was on sale anyway so it's win win really. I love the smokey colours in here! There are some super bright colours which I won't get as much wear out of but I can't wait to play with these colours and I'm such a fan of the Salvation palettes (review coming hopefully soon!)
(I got it for free but usually £6)
I picked up the 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' Salvation palette which has more neutrals in than the other and very good to work with. I got this on sale from Superdrug in the 3 for 2. I do love the pop of colour shades in here which would add a really lovely, fun element to a look so I will be trying out new looks with those shades in here but the neutrals are very beautiful shades.
(I paid £4 but usually £6)
The last of the Salvation palettes I picked up is 'Unicorns Unite'. I have been eyeing this up since it launched so I'm so glad I picked it up! These are such fun, high pigmented colours which I love but they are colours that may not be too hard to work with to create a really beautiful look. There are a few neutrals in here but not many so I would probably use this palette as adding a pop of colour to a look.
(£6)
I picked up the 'Flawless 2' palette which I have been loving! There's a lovely mix of colours in here from matte to shimmery and cool toned to a few warm and I think this could create so many looks! I am yet to try all the shades but there is such a good variety in here and it's really good value for money.
(£8)
I also picked up the 'Beyond Flawless' palette. This is such a gorgeous neutrals palette and I also got this for free when I took advantage of the Superdrug offer so I'm chuffed with this! All the shades are shimmery aside from the matte black in the bottom right corner but I love the shade range in here and all the colours are so beautiful!
(£8)
The last of the 32 shadow palettes I picked up was the 'Affirmation' palette. I have also had my eye on this for the longest time and I am absolutely in love with it! They are much more cool toned and smokey colours but I don't have many palettes like that so this will be an asset in my collection. I am obsessed with these shades and I am so glad I finally bought it!
(£8)
I picked up the Fortune Favours The Brave palette which is a collaboration with BritishBeautyBlogger (who's Instagram I am obsessed with by the way). I love the variety of shades in here! It's so great for travel because of all the different colours and finishes there are in here. I am loving the khaki and green colours because I am totally into them at the minute. I can't wait to start playing with this more because it's very beautiful!
(£9.99)
I also picked up the second Shimmer Brick in Rose Gold in another order I made. I bought this to use more as eyeshadow because I love the shades in here but they are far too dark for me to use as highlight. The other one is much more suited to my skin tone but I love these tones for my eyes!
(£3)
I picked up one of their Lip Amplification in the shade 'Limitless' which is a beautiful grey colour. This, I would say, is a dupe of NYX's Liquid Suede liquid lipstick in 'Stone Fox' but this is a glossy finish. I absolutely love this colour and it's such a statement and I am thinking for the perfect look to wear with this!
(£3)
Sorry for the terrible photo of this but it was so hard to get a good photo! This is the awesome metals eyeshadow in 'Rose Gold'. I picked this up because everyone raves about it so much and I just had to try it! It comes with a mini primer and mixing tray thing but this is good wet or dry. These are dupes for the Stila ones from what everyone is saying.
(£4)
Next is one of the most exciting products to me! This is the Iconic Lights and Contour Pro palette! This looks very similar to the NYX one with the packaging but I really love the clear top on this, it looks very sleek. Their original contour palette is the one I absolutely swear by for contouring so I'm hoping this will be just as awesome too.
(£8)
I picked up the Blush Goddess palette which has 4 highlight shades on the top row and 4 matte blush shades on the bottom row. I love this because it has everything I would need in it. I do think that the blushes might not be too great for darker skin as they are quite pale but I think they would look great on pale skin. I love the range of highlighters in here also. Having both in one palette is very convenient and great for travel because it saves you taking loads of blushes and highlighters.
(£6)
The last Makeup Revolution product I picked up was the Golden Sugar 2- Rose Gold palette. This is beautiful!! For my skin tone, I do feel the first one looks better for me for highlight but again, I'm going to use this as eyeshadow too. There are some shades in here which would make a great highlight for me. I'm hoping that the mirror in this one doesn't smash because in my Golden Sugar original palette, it smashed and I don't know what happened to it but the powders were fine. Anyway, that aside, this palette is gorgeous and I can't wait to start playing with it.
(£6)
I Heart Makeup
(I paid 76p but normally £1.99)
I then picked this up in Superdrug's 3 for 2 offer which made this free and it's the 'You;re Gorgeous' palette. This has such a nice range of neutrals in it and I have the other two in this collection and I love them so I'm hoping this will be no different. I also love the matte shades in here, especially the lilacs.
(I got it for free but it's usually £5.99)
I picked this up at the beginning of the year but I thought I'd include it anyway. This is the 'I Heart Sin' palette and I picked this up on sale at the time but I can't remember how much I paid for it. This is full of bright colours but there are a few neutrals in there which are gorgeous! I will see how I work with these colours.
(£7.99)
I also picked up this gorgeous palette which I am obsessed with! This is the 'Faux Fur Naked Underneath' palette. I also picked this up on sale at the beginning of the year after lusting after it for so long. I love the shades in here so much! I would say they are more on the cool tones side and they are mostly shimmers but there are a few mattes which are great for crease colours and smoking out a look.
(I paid £3.99 on sale but usually £7.99)
The last thing is the Chocolate Vice palette. I am a huge fan of the chocolate bar palettes, they are my favourites in my collection, and this is no exception. This is full of gorgeous peachy tones and a beautiful, intense, gold which looks amazing on just the lid. This is a great addition to the chocolate bar collection!
(£7.99)
Urban Decay
Last but certainly not least, we have the Alice Through The Looking Glass palette. I have been using this already and I am obsessed with it! The shadows are so beautiful and smooth and pigmented! I'm such a huge fan of anything Alice in Wonderland and this is just perfect. The packaging is just so incredibly beautiful as well, it's such a unique piece and it has a special place in my collection now!
(£43)
