Collective haul

Okay, I admit that purchasing 3 eyeshadow palettes in the space of 2 weeks is a lot! But I have been wanting them all for a while so I thought I would go ahead and get them all.
 
I first started of buying the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette which has fit in wonderfully with my Naked 1 and 2. I'm not going to go into too much detail on the palettes in this haul because I will do a full review for each separately. What I like about this palette is the colours. Unlike the Naked and Naked 2, this palette has more pink shades, which are wearable for both day and night looks and makes a change to the series. The other thing about this palette that I love is the packaging. It is just like the Naked 2, strong and sturdy. I only wish the Naked (1) could of been made like this to avoid it breaking or getting ruined very easily.
 
I then purchased my first bhcosmetics palatte on Amazon (88 Color Palette, Matte Eyeshadow) I chose to get this one first because I have many neutral palettes and this one had many colours. After receiving my first palette I decided to get another one, but this time a neutral palette.(88 Color Palette, Neutral Eyeshadow). In both palettes, the shadows are extremely pigmented, not chalky, and don't have a lot of fallout. For the price, they are really good quality and has many shades. so I recommend anyone to get these, from a beginner to professional.
 
I had a lot of BACK2MAC products which I returned to Mac recently. Every 6 empty B2M products you return you get 1 free lipstick. I had 18 empty Mac products, so I got 3 Lipsticks. I chose Crème cup, Chatterbox and Shy Girl. I have had my eye on these shades for a while, and I know that I will use them a lot as they are natural or wearable for everyday.

I bought another lipstick, which I don't have anything like. BarryM: Touch of Magic Lip Paint. This is unusual and I was very intrigued to find out how this worked. In the container the lip paint is green, and when applied to the lips, it changed to a shade of pink to suit you. The lightness/darkness of pink will be determined by the levels of alkali in your lips. I got excited when I seen this so I had to get myself one. Its very good, and I love it. It stays on incredibly well. I believe it stains your lips rather than act as a lipstick.

I also ordered a Coastal Scents brush form Amazon too while purchasing my first bh palette. For years I have been using a Mac 217 brush (£18.00) and then I found Coastal Scents BR-250 brush (£6.95). So after noticing the similarities between the brushes, I noticed the price difference. Being £11.00 cheaper than the Mac 217, if this brush was as good it would save me a lot of money. I use this brush for concealer and it works amazingly, I have also tried it with eyeshadow and it works as well as Mac: 217. This brush is amazing for the price! and if you love Mac: 217 go ahead and try this one!

The last thing I got was a backup of Mac: Pro Longwear Concealer. This is my favourite concealer and I use it everyday. It stays on all day/night. You can use this under the eye for the reason that it doesn't crease, it covers any spots or blemishes and gives a flawless look.
