My generous friend, Vivian brought me the Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Eyeshadow in 86 Elboui. A burgundy colour that pulls brown tones with my yellow skintone since I can't wear purple without looking like a underpaid escort. It has noticeable multi-coloured shimmer that is best for the evenings which is a nice touch to my monochrome outfits.
I replenished many beauty products this month including Bioderma, an amazing makeup remover or quick cleanse that is extremely gentle to the skin. A holy grail product is my Giorgio Armani Master Corrector in No. 2 that corrects my very, very dark cirles to make me look merely human without creasing, caking or looking too orange however if your circles aren't that terrible opt for No.1, the slightly pink-salmon colour.
Another product that compliments my under eye routine is the Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in 3 which I actually lost one month ago and I nearly hit pan, slightly annoyed. If you found that the Bobbi Brown creamy concealer is too creamy I highly suggest checking out Laura Mercier. Brought a back up of my favourite lipstick, Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 6 Rose Bergamasque. Perfect neutral pink slightly nude-y peachy lip colour for any occasion.
An impulse buy is Laura Mercier Blush in Orange Blossom, a very subtle coral, perfect for a minimal or 'no make-up' look. If you have very pale skin, I think this would be a nice coral for your complexion that doesn't look orange on you hence the name there is some pinktones.
Speaking of blush I brought my favourite blush of all time the Bourjois blush in 16 Rose Coup de Foudre that I also lost and couldn't live without. Its a warm-peachy pink that is flattering on most skin tones and has slight shimmer in the pan but barely noticeable. What I love about this blush is I can lightly dust my cheeks or my preferred method, to pack it on like a drag. The con is the packaging and since it has that baked dome effect it will harden but use the brush it came with to scrap it. Even then I still love this blush.
Lastly I brought MAC Brun eyeshadow to fill in my brows with the recommendation of the MUA. My eyebrows are in need of filling and extra aid in lengthening since in photos it looks like my eyebrows are short. However I'll probably fill them in the evenings or when I want to look more made up.

I don't think or more like I shouldn't buy any makeup for awhile and start using more of my makeup in particular my numerous foundation collection. However I'm getting into eyeshadows and the Burberry line looks very tempting.
So tempted to buy more make up after reading this. Ignoring that ban i imposed on myself.
