I’ve been wanting to try these L’Oréal Collection Exclusive lipsticks for a long time, and when I found them really cheap on sale in January I decided to get two. I couldn’t see the actual colours, so I chose them based on the colour of the stickers on the bottom of the lipsticks. I’d heard beauty youtubers talk about Blake’s Pure Red, so I went for that one, and then I thought J Lo’s Pure Red looked pretty too (based on the sticker), but as it turns out, the two lipsticks are almost identical. The colour(s) are gorgeous and I love the matte finish, but if I had known that they were this similar I wouldn’t have bought both of them. But as I said they were so cheap, so it’s not a big loss:)

I had no idea that Real Techniques had found its way to Denmark, but as soon as I found out I picked up the Miracle Complexion sponge and the Stippling brush. I love the Miracle Complexion sponge; I’ve used it to apply my foundation every single day since I bought it. I bought the Stippling brush, because I wanted to experiment more with cream blushers, and so far I like this brush as well. There’s a couple of more brushes that I would like to add to my collection, so I might pick those up some other time.

I still have two more Christmas presents to show you and one of them is this e.l.f. Studio blusher in the colour Mellow Mauve. I have one more Studio blusher, but I rarely use it, because there’s so much glitter in it, but that’s not the case with this one. It looks like it has a bit of shimmer in it, but it doesn’t really show up on the skin, and I really like the colour as well. The eye shadow brush and the eyelid primer are two recent purchases from the cheapest e.l.f. line. So far I’m really liking the brush; it’s great for placing eye shadow on the lid. I won’t say much about the eyelid primer just yet, because I’m going to make a separate post with a comparison of two affordable eyelid primers (this e.l.f. one being one of them), so stay tuned for that:)
