My Favourite Things - Julie Andrews

As some of you may know (these "some" would be close personal friends who I would hope devote a bit of time to read my blog posts...oh well) I have a wee bit of an obsession with make up. There's something about going out to Sephora or Shoppers or really anywhere that sells make up and walking up to the till with products just knowing that you're about to go home and put them all on. 

Unlike some others, my make up obsession is a bit more recent I would say. I've always liked make up and wanted to use it from the age that most girls would (others were too cool for that and still hung with the guys) but I never really got in to it. It was more of a slap 'er on and get out the door kind of deal. 

To take this shocking news further (WHAT SHE DIDN'T LOVE MAKEUP WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER?!) I always vowed to be one of those girls who never spent an hour getting ready in the morning because I thought it was a waste of time. Boy oh boy, was I ever wrong. Make up is amazing. 

So, without further ado, this is my collection. 

Naked  1 Palette (containing virgin, sin, naked, sidecar,
buck, half-baked, smog, dark horse, toasted, hustle,
creep & gunmetal) 

Little Black Book, Urban Decay in Virgin, Elf shadow stick, Pixie shadow stick, Elf shadow stick

Sephora blusher palette (Los Cabos Bronzer, Blushing Pink,
& Coral Punch) & Benefit - Coralista 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Conceller, Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation,
 and Rimmel Stay Matte. Apparently I really like Rimmel.

I realize - and I'm sure some of you may as well - that I don't have an extensive amount of what one might call "high end make up". As much I would like to, I'm a saving university student and school comes first (unless it's Chinese food and then we're in a whole new playing field). However I can say that all of my higher end products are loved to a more extreme level than the others, making it all worth the extra cash. 

I hope you all had a nice time looking over this. I would love to see your make up collections, or get some tips as to what new lovely things I should add to mine to grow and improve. 

Thanks for the read xx
