Haul & First Impressions




Someone needs to start dragging me out to Pilates on a Saturday morning instead of leaving me to my own devices. I popped in to town to get a present for a friend and came home with a whole load of new presents for Suzie. Insert all the heart eye’d emojis here.

After previously having a play around with the Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Brush back in July, I couldn’t hold off any more and threw it out there when the sales assistant asked me if there was anything else I wanted. I’ve been thinking about it more than a healthy amount, so it had to happen. I’d also held of picking up Nars Sheer Glow and the Doucer blush for about three years now – basically since I started blogging, so I couldn’t really say no to them either.  And then we have the whole mini Whistles and Boots haul thrown in for good measure. Same time next month, yeah? Pah, maybe not – I don’t think any of our bank balances are equipped for that!

& HERE’S WHAT I BOUGHT…

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

Kevyn Aucoin Foundation Brush

Nars Doucer Blush

Whistles Logo Tee

Whistles Card Holder

Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleanser

All the Essie polishes!

    I've never seen anything quite like that brush! It's super cool and it really did apply the NARS foundation perfectly.

    love the blush with the foundation! i have the foundation but with the brush I use it appears cakey on my face, do you have any recommendations as a cheaper alternative brush to apply it with?

    I think the NARS Sheer Glow would look nicer if you applied only a sheer layer (I have never used it so don't take me word) because I've heard it's a heavier coverage foundation and I think your skin is too nice to COMPLETELY cover it. 🙂
