Birthday Haul // Makeup Edition

Since it was my birthday last week I received a few new makeup items that I'm so excited about! I had been planning to do my full 15th Birthday Haul, but I didn't manage to photograph everything before I put it all in different places. So to solve this problem I have decided to do a different post for each section of items that I received (e.g. makeup and fashion) Today I'm starting off with the makeup section and hopefully in a couple of weeks I will have the fashion section up as well! Hopefully that made sense!

Disclaimer- I'm not trying to brag in anyway, I kindly received this makeup from friends and family and I'm extremely grateful!

MAC Lipstick in Kinda Sexy //
I'll start off with what my friends bought me, the makeup item that I received was a MAC lipstick in the shade Kinda Sexy. I was so excited when I opened this because it's such a gorgeous shade, however I'd never seen it before at the MAC counter. It's similar to Velvet Teddy but has a more orangey undertone to it which makes it the perfect all year round nude.

Nars Highlight in Albatross // £23.00
The next makeup item I actually purchased myself with some birthday money, and it's the Nars highlight in Albatross. Nars has always been on my list of high end brands to try from, but I never got round to actually purchasing something from them. I thought I'd treat myself on my birthday and purchase Albatross because I've heard a lot of good things about it... and trust me it has not disappointed! Hopefully there will be a full review with swatches up on the blog soon!

Benefit Dandelion Blush //
From my mum I received Dandelion from Benefit which I have been wanting for such a long time!! This blush is perfect for pale skin tones as it gives a really nice subtle hint of colour. Also it smells amazing, literally just like old fashioned powder makeup!! Overall I'm already obsessed with this blush and I'm defintley going to be using it all summer long!!

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Pillow Talk //
Oh my goodness I couldn't quite believe my eyes when I opened these next two items, first up I had actually asked for Pillow Talk but on the release date my mum said that there was a really long order 'queue' and that she hadn't managed to get it. Little did I know that she actually did get it, along with something else for me and I was over the moon when I opened it! The shade is super pretty and is a really nice mix of a light and dark nude.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Pencil in Pillow Talk //
I honestly wasn't expecting the matching lip pencil either so when I opened this I was even more over the moon! This lip liner is super creamy and doesn't dry my lips out either, plus it stays on for a super long time and actually matches the colour of the lipstick (unlike other lip liners I've tried!)

MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl //
The last makeup product I received was the MAC lip liner in Whirl. This is again another product that I have wanted to try for a super long time! The actual shade is such a pretty nude and looks gorgeous paired with Velvet Teddy!!

So those are all the makeup items that I kindly received for my birthday and I'm super grateful for them all!!
