Birthday Pressies!


My Birthday was in the Christmas break and I received some lovely pressies from treasured family members and friends. I only wanted to show you the makeup side of things and give you a mini review of each.



My amazing family treated me to a Nars Blusher in Deep Throat (TOP) which has a stunning shimmer of peach running through a coral pink. The pigmentation is beautiful and blends like a dream leaving a pretty flush to the cheeks.

With my christmas present (Naked palette, comment if you would like a review) I received a sample of the Urban Decay Primer Potion and a little goes a long way. It makes your eyeshadows (the Naked palette eyeshadows in my case I'm obsessed) last hours. It is perfect for eyelids which are particularly oily.

My beautiful best friends (love you guys :)) bought me a MAC tinted liglass in the shade Prrr and it is the perfect everyday shade. It has a high gloss shine, moisturises my lips and is very nicely pigmented. This will remain a staple in my makeup bag and will definitely repurchase this!

ANOTHER pressie my beautiful besties bought me was a MAC (can you see the theme here?) Matte eyeshadow in Yoghurt, a great all over the lid colour and (I'm sorry to use the phrase) but my lids but better!
Pigmentation is good and very buildable. Great for a lazy day or colour correcting shade.

The last pressie the girls got me was a free sample that came with purchase, of MAC's expensive strobe cream which originally retails at full size at £23.50. This is gorgeous on top of my cheekbones, I just squeeze out the tiniest bit and pat it along my cheekbones. It blends and highlights them beautifully but subtly.

My relatives bought me a Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker gloss stick in Bashful which is the perfect pinky nude. It is moisturising and my favourite lip combo at the moment is this with MAC's Prrr over the top. I LOVE this gloss stick. It is a pretty colour for every day. And smells like cake!

Thanks for reading!
