Birthday Beauty Haul!

So, on Saturday i turned 20! I had a lovely day and received some gorgeous beauty items as presents. I also went shopping in Birmingham and brought a few extras, so here are my Birthday Beauty Haul items!

LOREAL INFALLIBLE 24HR MATTE FOUNDATION
I picked up this lovely foundation from Superdrug in Birmingham. I have to say, i am very impressed with it! When i first went to buy it, i wasn't sure if it was worth £7.99 as the bottle is fairly small however a little bit of this foundation goes a long way. It is soft and light and gives off a high coverage without feeling sticky or heavy. I thought it may dry out my eczema  prone skin with it being matte however it doesn't do this at all! I highly recommend this foundation!

MAKEUP REVOLUTION ULTRA EYESHADOW PALETTE - MATTE
I also picked up this palette from Superdrug. At £8, you cannot fault these eyeshadows at all, they are great! The palette contains 32 matte eyeshadows ranging from creamy whites, to carbon black. I knew i had to buy this palette, as every time i create an eyeshadow look, even if i am going for a full on shimmery effect, i love having a matte colour in crease for transition. There are some gorgeous unusual colours within the palette such as Rust which is a peachy orange, and Earth which is a purple toned brown. This gives you the opportunity to mix up your looks and try new things! The quality is great especially when teamed with a good eye primer. There is a small amount of fall out when applying these colours however it can be easily sweeped away with some concealer or micellar water.

NANSHY MAKEUP BRUSHES - GOBSMACK GORGEOUS FACE BRUSH SET
These brushes were a lovely gift from my boyfriend! I mentioned a while back how i would like to add some more of this brand to my brush collection and he remembered! This set contains the Buffed Base Brush, Conceal Perfector Brush, Angled Airbrush Brush and the Flawless Foundation Brush. These are honestly amazing! They are so so so soft and gentle. These brushes are alot bigger and chunkier than the luxury brush set yet still have the same great quality. The Buffed Base Brush is my ultimate favourite, it honestly works any foundation nicely into the skin without leaving any lines or brush strokes!

If you are looking to buy a new brand of brush i honestly recommend these 100%. They make my makeup application so much better and are all fairly affordable.

MARY-LOUMANIZER - THE BALM
Is this highlighter worth the hype and the money? Yes. It's amazing! It gives such a soft subtle golden glow without leaving your skin dried out or oily looking. It is such a pretty product in great packaging, it's one of those products that give off a little bit of something special and just make you feel amazing when you wear it!

MAYBELLINE COLOUR SHOW NAIL POLISH - CORAL CRAZE
I've tried these polishes before and they are great quality drug store polishes. This colour is nice and summery and light and gets alot of compliments! It only needs two coats to reach full opacity and is lovely and shiny too.

Overall, i got some lovely things for my Birthday that i cannot recommend highly enough! Do you have any products you have brought recently that you are loving? Let me know! Chloe :)

If you are ever near a Krispy Kreme store, buy some of their chocolates - they are delicious
