Luxe Beauty Haul

Exams finished, shopping done. I have been spending quite a lot of money recently. Lets just say that exams had finished and I went a bit wild. I went to York Designer Outlet with my mum and was particularly excited about visiting the Cosmetics Company Outlet store. I also went to York for the day with my boyfriend and he kindly bought me the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder in 'Dim light'. I have been wanting it for SO long!

Estee Lauder Double Wear / £30 / Outlet Price: £21 ; I find it quite amazing that the CCO does products that are still selling on the high street at full price! They only did cool tone colours but that was perfect as that was what I was after! I have had this foundation in the past (featured in a 2011 post HERE) and it really is amazing full coverage. After a night out recently, my skin has broken out quite badly so this is definitely coming in handy.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer / £33 / Outlet Price: £23 ; Despite owning a lot of make-up, I don't really have that many bronzers. I usually use the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer but I feel it can be quite patchy and doesn't give the best payoff. I have a couple of other cheap ones but have never really invested in a high end bronzer. After using this almost every day, I realise how much of a difference there is between this and my high street bronzers. It gives a really great payoff and the pan is SO big! Therefore, despite being quite pricey, it will last me ages!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in 'Dim light' / £38 / Space NK ; I have been talking about Hourglass for almost two years now but have never got round to getting myself something from the luxury brand. The prices are pretty hefty so I have always put it off. When me and my boyfriend were in York, he was adamant that we go in Space NK (great boyfriend, I know!) I was trying to resist the temptations but was drawn to hourglass and spent a while gazing over the packaging and the iridescent payoffs of all of their products. Out of the blue, James just bought me it despite it's £38 price tag. Luckily I had spent £100 on my Space NK card in the past so we got £5 off but it was still such a lovely gift. It has such a lovely pearly shine and is a gorgeous highlighter. It is more silver toned than the MAC's Soft and Gentle so I'm glad that I have two high end highlighters in both gold and silver.

What do you think of the products I bought? What product from Hourglass would you really recommend? I really want to get their Veil primer...

LOTS OF LOVE,
