From time to time you just need to indulge in a little self love and treat yourself to some well hyped about products, and what better a place to let you do this than Sephora!
Since it's very hard to get some popular U.S brands here in the UK, Sephora offers the perfect opportunity to get your hands on these with low cost shipping fees and the duties fee included in the overall cost. This way you won't get slapped with having to pay a fee before the post office gives you your eagerly awaited parcel.
So what did I buy:
Kat Von D
Kat Von D is one of the most hyped brands in America right now, and really only possible to get in the UK if shipped from the states.
After seeing everyone rave on Instagram and YouTube about the Shade and Light eye contour palette, and seeing that the colour selection offered a stunning selection of warm, cool and neutral tone eye-shadows within, I knew it would be perfect for everyday use. The shadows themselves are very well pigmented, although be careful as they do let off a lot if 'dust'/'kickback' so make sure to tap the excess off your brush and off the palette itself. For me this is a must have if you need an everyday eye-shadow palette as it gives you a true range of different cool, neutral and warms tones in a smooth blendable matte formula, with a couple of light coloured satin shadows drawn into the mix so you're able to add a highlight/sheen where needed.
The tattoo liner in Trooper is another staple you must get if you decide to buy some products from Kat Von D's makeup line. Unlike most felt tip liners that come as a stiff felt nib, this liner is actually made up of individual hairs, much like a paint brush, so you are able to get much more precision in creating either thick or thin lines. It is also very well pigmented with one line creating a deep intense black, and lasts all day on the eye but can come off in the inner and outer corners of your eyes if they tend to get watery easily. One of the best features of this product though is that the lid clicks shut, so you won't open up your make up bag to find black streaks everywhere and a dried out eyeliner.
Becca Cosmetics
When one of the most well known brands for creating stunning highlighters pairs up with one of YouTube's biggest makeup guru's you know the end product is going to be truly amazing. So its no surprise that the Becca X Jaclyn Hill shimmering skin perfector pressed in Champagne Pop became such a success. The mixture of Becca's intensely pigmented and perfectly smooth formula for its powder highlighters, along with the light golden gorgeousness of the Champagne Pop colour creates such a stunning highlight! However you may want to avoid this colour if you are very pale or if you don't like an intense highlight, but I feel that almost any skin tone could pull this colour off, and really who doesn't love a glow nowadays.
Too Faced
When I didn't think Too Faced could get any cuter with their packaging they brought out the Love Flush blushes, and I instantly feel in love! The formula of these blushes are wonderfully smooth and very blendable and are very well pigments so make sure to tap of the excess powder on your brush. They also come in a huge range of colours and different finishes so theirs something for everybody. Also they do live up to their long lasting statement as I didn't need to reapply throughout the day.
If you're in the UK and itching to get your hands on some hard to get American brands then I would definitely head over to http://www.sephora.com/ and start spending! Also you can choose free samples if you spend over a certain amount and who doesn't love that!
