Small Collective Loot

I just wanted to share with you all a few things I have picked up over the last month or so, mostly from the interwebs, especially allcosmeticswholesale.com, which has products that are basically FREE!, well to me anyway, living in NZ where makeup is so so expensive.
Also tiny tiny reviews of the stuff I've used quite alot that I have enjoyed using.

All very exciting products for me! First up;

• English Accents Lipglass from MAC (discontinued from the Liberty of London collection)
  

I bought this when it initially came out, and then lost it foolishly. I mourned its loss so much that I just had to buy it again, at a lower price than I originally got it for may I also add. its a really pretty pale pink with mauve-y purple-y undertones that are really flattering for my skintone.

• Currant Lip Pencil by MAC

I bought this to go with my Cyber and Cunning Lipsticks, since it's a red purple it goes well with both of them. I am literally rubbish at lipliner, it just goes everywhere on my face and I dont have any concealer so it always makes the red stand out in my face. Ahh well, gotta get some more practice. HOWEVER, its a good product in product terms, creamy and not too dry with extraordinary staying power. My friend wore it on Halloween and it lasted all night long!

• 2 x MAC Pigment samples in Pink Bronze and Bloodline
  
• I ordered these from a lovely seller on Trademe.co.nz and they are both stunning! I think pigment samples are such an efficient way of buying more interesting or bright colour eyeshadow that you wouldn't use really frequently, although now that I have the Bloodline pigment sample (From the Fabulous Felines collection) I want the full size, its really nice! The two colours look great together, and I get alot of compliments when I wear Pink Bronze, especially wet. Even my 15 year old sister approved, and she is a real funky-fashion-model girl. There she is there...
  

• 2 little palette quads, also from allcosmeticswholesale.com, that I bought as a little post exam treat. One from Estee Lauder and the other Lancome. I'm pretty sure they are GWP size, so they are mini, but I thought it was a good opportunity to try some other brand's products.

• And finally a BYS (a local Australian and NZ brand I think) blush and a bronzer. The blush is in the colour Peach Sundae and is really sublte and natural, more of a highlighter than an actual blush shade. It's a soft peach colour that gives a real irridescence to the cheek and I absolutely love it. The formula is pretty powdery though so I like to use this with a duo fibre type brush

• The bronzer is in the shade Golden and I feel it is more of a coloured face powder than a bronzer. It is like a true golden colour that gives a beautiful colur and sheen to my face that makes me look glowing and lit from within. It also really nicely accentuates my cheekbones and I loooove it. Here is an example pic of me wearing it the other night when I was out
