August beauty buys
With Autumn just on the horizon, I wanted to pick up some makeup that I could use to try out some new looks. Check out my haul of August beauty buys, they are perfect for those miserable rained in days!
Eyeshadows are always top of my beauty buys list and I found some great palettes with some amazing shades.
Makeup Revolution Beyond Flawless palette
With 32 matte and shimmery shades I can’t believe I haven’t bought this palette before. The palette is quite neutral with a good range of nude and smokey shades. I’m glad that there’s no over the top neon colours as I like to keep my makeup quite simple. One of my favourite August beauty buys. The palette is no longer widely available, however you can still find it on Ebay.
Makeup Revolution Flawless 3 Resurrection
If one Revolution Flawless palette wasn’t enough I got two. Flawless 3 Resurrection is the 3rd sequel to Beyond Flawless and also contains 32 matte and shimmery shades. The shimmery shades tend to be a lot lighter than the matte shades which are on the darker side of the colour spectrum. I’m happy to see there’s lots of really pretty gold pink/golds in the palette. The palette is no longer widely available, however you can still find it on Ebay.
MUA Daybreaker Palette
New to the shelves is MUA Daybreaker palette. It’s available in two shades and is an all in one palette for application on the go. It contains several blushers, highlighters and eyeshadows in matte and shimmer formulations to create a classic daytime look. There’s no brush or mirror included so you will still need to take those if you’re applying whilst out travelling (kind of defeats the purpose of a all in one). I did however love the colours in this and think it will create a really pretty neutral look. The palette is no longer widely available, however you can still find it on Ebay.
Technic Pro Finish eyeshadow palette
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this palette before till I discovered it in TK Maxx. The palette looks a lot more professional then a lot of other Technic makeup and has some gorgeous pigmented shades. On first impressions number 4, 12 and 14 look like real winners. You can see my review of the Technic Pro Finish eyeshadow palette here. Grab it on Amazon.
Technic Prism Rainbow highlighter
I do love a good highlighter and I’ve not seen this particular one from Technic before. I’ve tried I Love Makeup and Lottie London’s rainbow highlighter which produce a similar frosty highlight, and I was looking forward to seeing what highlight this gave. The palette is no longer widely available, however you can still find it on Ebay.
I’m looking forward to seeing what other beauty buys I’ll pick up in the coming months. I’ve seen a advertisement for the new Triple Tone lipstick by Smashbox which gives you a ombre look without even trying – amazing! I can’t wait to pick that up.
