I received a late birthday present from my auntie and thought I would share it with you along with a recent beauty purchase I made as the products were too pretty that it would be a crime not to photograph them. I haven't purchased any make up myself for a while as I've tried to cut down and use up the products I already own first, instead focusing more on skincare as I'm desperate to find a routine that suits me, but it's always nice to receive make up as a gift.
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief - Starting with the product I purchased myself, I completely ran out of my previous daily moisturiser (Estée Lauder Daywear) and wanted to try something different as I wasn't overly impressed with it. I'd heard about Clinique Moisture Surge as it seems to be a classic moisturiser loved by many. I've been using it for around 2 weeks now and I'm really enjoying the gel texture which rids my skin of any dry patches and is a great base before applying make up.
Bobbi Brown Brightening Brick (Pink) - I was so excited when I received this from my auntie as I always admire Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks and Brightening Bricks. I've used this a couple of times now and it gives the cheeks a gorgeous pink healthy glow which isn't too shimmery. I'd recommend this to any blusher lover - if you're on a budget I believe Revlon do something similar.
Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara - This was such a timely item to receive as I just came to the end of my Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes Mascara and I actually find the products fairly similar to each other. This mascara volumises and lengthens the lashes well without clumping and manages to hold a curl for a reasonably long time considering my lashes are very long and straight.
Bobbi Brown Lipstick (Sandwash Pink) - I can tell that this will become one of my go-to lipsticks as the beige pink colour has the perfect balance of brown and pink tones for my skin. I haven't had a Bobbi Brown lipstick before but the semi-matte formula is lovely and lasts hours when paired with a MAC lipliner. I've been pairing it with Soar for an everyday nude colour which goes with any eye looks.
