Make-up and skin care haul

Is it just me or does everything seem to run out at the same time?
This week I've been doing some re-purchasing of my favourite make-up and skin care items. I'm heading to Sydney this week so definitely "needed" them. Speaking of Sydney I can't wait to head to Sephora and see how it compares with American Sephoras. The exciting life of a make-up addict. 

Kate somerville Goat Milk Moisturiser - Indeed Labs Hydraluron - Ren Clarifying Toner

Stila One Step correct - Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Santa Fe - Nars foundation pump.

I especially can't live without my Nars foundation. It's so easy to apply and gives great coverage for my skin. I asked to be colour matched again, because the last time I bought the foundation was more than a year ago and I was given punjab. Interestingly the sales assistant at Mecca Cosmetica chose Santa Fe which has pink undertones. I've been out in the sun more this summer and am much more tanned. Hopefully it works out. 

Any way, enough rambling. 

Enjoy your week. I'll try to post when I'm in Sydney, otherwise follow me on instagram or twitter at laurabirch25

A little haul

Well I haven't had a good shopping day for a while. Since Hawaii I've been a bit poor (Louis Vuitton store...) then Christmas came.. But a few weeks of pay later, some encouragement from some Feel Unique emails (SALE, SALE)  and my lovely Mother, yep I went a-shopping. First on the list was a toner. I've needed a good toner for a while and the online consensus seems to be this lovely Ren clarifying toning lotion. And it does not disappoint. Review to come. Staying on skincare I ran out of my beloved Emma Hardie cleansing balm pre Hawaii. Honestly how have I lasted this long without it. It was welcomed back with open arms and it was on sale. Wooohoo! It's just the most luxurious cleansing balm I've tried which makes my skin feel clean and plump after using it. Another returning love is the Loreal silver shampoo. This is a purple shampoo which does wonders for blonde hair. I defected to the Joico purple shampoo but it really isn't the same. I also picked up the Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation. I tried out my Mum's earlier in the week and loved it. It stayed put, even through a hot summers bike ride and gave a good, natural coverage. And it has sun protection. Winning. I think its a must buy if you live in Australia or any other sunny climates. And lastly the Real Technique's core collection. Need I say more? My favourite make-up brush brand. I really don't know how I've lasted this long without the buffing brush. Sorry stippling brush there's a new sheriff in town. And it's here to stay. 

Have a great week everyone. I'm heading to Melbourne and Sydney this week, so be prepared for some picture heavy posts when I return. x
