I've Done Some Shopping...

While walking through town the other day (and again a few days later), I meandered through Douglas and there were some items I just couldn't resist.

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder in No. 10

The first item that made its way into my basket was the new and utterly lovely Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder in No. 10 (the lightest shade) (€48) (review here).  I saw this for the first time last month when I was in Paris and it just didn't interest me.  I honestly thought they were just bronzers in really gorgeous packaging, and it all seemed a little bit too much for me.  However, once I realized it was a finishing powder (but you could use a darker shade for a bronzer, too), I was all ears!  No. 10 is cooler toned than the others in the lineup, though it's still more of a neutral tone, making it absolutely perfect to set my makeup with!  I'm already in love :)  This has been out in Europe since April, but won't be released in the US until August as far as I know, so keep an eye out for that!

Estée Lauder Vanilla Pods

I also picked up a new eyeshadow duo: Estée Lauder Vanilla Pods (€32/$32).  I initially was interested in getting Raisins, but the colors looked way too easy to dupe from MAC (All That Glitters and Cranberry, anyone?), so I decided to pick up something that I thought I could use on a more day to day basis and that I probably don't already have dupes of in my collection.  As you can see, both shades are very taupe-based, making them really great everyday colors for a neutral eye, which is really the only colors I ever wear on my eyes!

I also couldn't leave the store without picking up a new Clinique Chubby Stick in Bountiful Blush (€20/$16) (review here). I recently lost this and was going mad for about a week before I realized I just can't live without this.  It is my perfect everyday color, a gorgeous, dusty rose that looks so natural on the lips.  I've written a full review on this shade if you want to know more!

I also recently placed an order on Feelunique to stock up on a few essentials.  I ran out my night cream recently and so I opted to pick up a new one: the Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream (about €40/$50).  I've heard good things about this night cream and about Antipodes in general, so I wanted to test it out for myself!  I also decided to try out a new toner: the Melvita Rose Water (around €8/$10).  I ran out of my LUSH Toner recently, so I thought I would try something new!  I also decided to get the L'Oreal Tecni Art 'Super Dust' (around €13/$17).  I've heard really good things about this, it's supposed to give great volume to your hair, so I'm very excited to test this out!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Porcelain 0

I also decided to pick up a new foundation because I just really wanted to try something new.  I opted for the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 ($47).  I'd heard good things about this foundation and I really wanted to try a foundation from Bobbi Brown as I never have!  I'm in the shade Porcelain 0 (second lightest shade, yes!) and it's such a perfect match for me!  It's light coverage, which is perfect for me, and I'm really impressed so far :)

Bobbi Brown Creaseless Concealer in Porcelain

After being so impressed with the Bobbi Brown foundation, I decided to pick up the Bobbi Brown Creaseless Concealer in Porcelain ($23).  I've been wanting to try this for a while, so I'm very excited to try this out.

MAC Temperature Rising Eyeshadow Palette (LE)

MAC Patisserie Lipstick

I then went to MAC and picked up two things.  The first item that went into my basket is the new eyeshadow palette - Temperature Rising ($44) (review here) - from the Temperature Rising Collection.  There's three purple-toned eyeshadows and a random peachy-toned eyeshadow in it, but it looks like it'll be really good!  The other item that made it's way into my basket was the MAC Patisserie Lipstick ($15).  This is a pinky-nude lustre lipstick that I've wanted to try for about a year, so I thought it was about time that I bite the bullet and just buy it :)

Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchases and I'm sure I'll be keeping you posted with reviews soon!  Anything you've bought recently that you're over the moon about?
