Mini Beauty Haul

Just a few things 

I've picked up a few beauty items recently, not that it makes me look any better, but I've been loving them and so I thought why not share them?

Absolutely amazing quality picture, I know ;)

The first is a repurchase of my holy grail foundation Rimmel Match Perfection, which I think I have used about three of now. I love this foundation, although it gets a little light for me so I have to mix in a bit of a slightly darker foundation (clinique anti-blemish solutions in fresh alabaster) and I love the combination, especially in summertime. Personally for me, I feel like I can build up this foundation depending on what kind of coverage I want. 

Secondly, I found somewhere hidden deep in the midst of the internet, a small eyeshadow palette with 12 colours - mostly neutral - which I've fallen in love with. I'm more of a subtle eyeshadow wearer so the fact that these are not too pigmented is perfect. Since I got this I've used nothing else. 

I decided to branch out from my usual No. 7 translucent powder and gave the Maybelline Fit Me a go. I don't know if I like it as much as No.7 but it definitely isn't bad. I usually make the mistake of putting too much onto my brush, but I like it. Probably won't repurchase though.

I picked up a 2 for 1 deal on the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks, and I picked up two pretty similar colours. I got 077 Asia, which is a softer purple with a slight redness to it, and 066 Heather Shimmer which is purple/pinky red - which btw made no sense at all. They're shimmery, but do slightly dry out the lip so have to make sure that I have my lip balm with me at all times. Also a little sheer, but very buildable. 

Lastly, I got a sample size Benefit Porefessional Primer which everyone and their mother has. My pores are slightly big so I thought this would be perfect but I wanted to test it before I bought the full size. My expectations weren't fully reached, maybe because of the ridiculous craze, but I do really like it much more than any other primer I've tried, and I've noticed a difference in the visibility of my pores, just not enough for me to give it a 10/10. Despite this, I think I may just have to get the full size.
