Haul #3: Beauty

This is a bit of a collective haul of bits and bobs I've bought over that last couple of weeks. It will probably be the last haul I do for a while as I have given up buying make-up for lent as I have decided I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession!

Topshop

Topshop Sheer Lip in 'Chuck'

I bought this lipstick for the sole reason that it was called 'Chuck' and it brought back nostalgic memories of Chuck Bass- yes, I am that sad that I bought a lipstick because it coincidently had the same name as a fictional television character. But after using it a few times I actually really like it. It is a really moisturising lip colour with a subtle glossy finish, the colour is easily buildable from a sheer balm to a deep stain - it is also really affordable at £8. I've never really tried Topshop make-up before but since trying this I think I will be going back for more, any good recommendations?

Boots

Charles Worthington Salon at Home

I am going to post a review of these soon so I won't waffle on for too long but I adore the Salon at Home range, they leave me hair looking healthy and shiny. I bought the Straight and Smooth Shampoo, Shine Booster Conditioner and the Style Setter Dry Shampoo. They are also reasonably priced at around £6 or £7.

Hydraluron

I bought this in boots after hearing numerous beauty bloggers recommendations and thought I would give it a whirl too. My skin is so dry and dehydrated at the minute so I though it could really use something like this. So far I've not noticed that much of a difference to my skin but obviously I will give it a full 6 weeks before deciding if its worth it or not- I will probably write a review in the future after a couple of months using it so look out for that.

SpaceNK

Laura Mercier Crème Brule Honey Bath

I've gone a bit crazy in SpaceNK recently, think I need to calm down a bit with the spending but I just couldn't resist the smell of this, oh my gosh it smells so good I just want to eat it. I've not tried it in the bath yet but may write a review along with the body cream in a couple of weeks.


Feel Unique

Tanya Burr Nail Polish in Little Duck

This was in my February Favourites so again I won't go on about it for too long, just click the link here, but I adore the colour of the nail varnish. It's a really spring/summery colour and I just love wearing it!

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Afternoon Tea

I also picked up one of Tanya's lipglosses in Afternoon Tea, I've not really had chance to use it that much yet but on first impressions I love the texture, finish, colour payoff and brush. One thing I probably don't like is how light the colour is, I usually go for something a tiny bit darker but that is my fault for choosing the wrong colour! I think I will get the colour 'Aurora' and see if that suits me a bit better. Have you tried anything in Tanya's line yet? Sophie will be doing a review of both the nail varnish and lipgloss very soon so look out for that.


Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury Eyelash Curlers

If you read our blog often or follow us on Twitter (@Make_Man_Marc) you will know we are huge Charlotte Tilbury fans. I think she is such a fantastic make-up artist and all of her products I've tried are amazing (click here to see a review of her Vintage Vamp palette and here to see Sophie's Charlotte Tilbury Haul and Review). These eyelash curlers are great at really opening up the eye, making the eye look bigger- they also look super pretty in a gorgeous rose gold colour!

March Wishlist

This month it's my turn to do the monthly wishlist and Jess has done her February Favourites (see her post here). Here are some of the things that I really want in March, though I doubt I'll get all of them!

Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille Souffle Body Creme - £44.50

After receiving a sample of this in one of my Birchboxes and after hearing many reviews of this product, including from Jess, all I've been wanting to buy is this Body Creme. The smell is incredible and lasts for hours and a little goes a long way too. It's also so moisturising and luxurious. This is definitely at the top of my March Wishlist!

Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick - £22.00

After buying a few Charlotte Tilbury products recently and falling in love with them, as a makeup addict I now want so much more of her products. The next thing I would like to have in my collection is the Feline Flick eyeliner pen. I've never really been able to do a cat eye look very well so I'm hoping that by buying this I'll be able to master it. It looks so easy to use and I've loved everything Charlotte Tilbury that I've tried so far so I have a feeling I'd fall in love with this too.

MAC Eyeshadow Patina - £10

As I mentioned in my last haul, I have a 15 slot MAC eyeshadow palette and I've filled 13 of the slots so far so I'm really close to filling the whole thing. It's taken me a few years to build my MAC eyeshadows up so I can't wait to have a complete palette (and then I can start another one too!). I want Patina because it looks quite unique, I love a neutral eyeshadow and it has a slight shimmer to it too. 

Nars Eyeshadow Palette - £50

Nars is one of my absolute favourite makeup brands but I have never tried any of their eyeshadows before. Then when I heard they were releasing the Narsissist eyeshadow palette I was very tempted to get it. Uunfortunately once I had found out about it it had actually sold out everywhere! I have signed up to a few department store websites 'notify me when in stock' mailing lists but everytime I realize I have an email, they have all sold out again already! Although I've heard that this palette may not be worth the money and the eyeshadows aren't up to the usual Nars eyeshadow standards I'd still like to give it a chance as there are so many colours in the palette. 

Kurt Geiger Petra Boots - £79.00

You may be thinking why does she want knee high boots when winter is practically over? Well 1. It's never too early to be prepared for next Autumn/Winter (my favourite time for fashion), 2. British weather is pretty consistent so I would probably get some good wear out of these in the spring months and 3. They are on sale. I think that these boots look like the perfect riding style boots with a slight heel, the golden buckles and the detailing in the back and I definitely can't resist a good bargain!

Revlon ColorBurst Balms - £7.99

I've have seen so many reviews of the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Balms everywhere recently which has made me want to try them out. I already have a few lip pencils like these like the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian (which I love). I like how there are 2 collections with these as well, a Matte collection and a Lacquer collection. I want to try one from both! There seem to be so many great colours too, I know I'm going to struggle to narrow it down.
