Unfortunately I haven't been doing any make-up shopping recently, or any shopping at all for that matter which is making me ever so sad. I'm going through that awkward stage where I can't bring myself to spending any more money on pretty summery things as I go back to the; grey, wet and downright miserable Manchester soon. But I'm in Dubai! A place of shopping galore and ultimate luxury, and I just so happen to be staying a 10 minute walk away from The Dubai Mall. I can hear the fancy fountains as I type this and see the sun beaming off of the Burj Khalifa. #Beaut
As blatant as this may seem, I need a trip to Sephora. The Sephora in The Dubai Mall has got to be the most hectic store that I have been to in the Middle East. You almost begin to panic in there. But i'm going to brave it and hopefully come out with some goodies. My wish-list is as follows:
1. A new UD Naked Weightless Concealer. I'm jumping on the bandwagon by stating that this is the best concealer I have ever used, but I still have my eye on the NARS Creamy Concealer. I just feel like i'm getting a lot of bang for my buck with Urban Decay.
2. Laura from Buy Now Blog Later recently published a post on her blog dedicated to Urban Decay's 'Riff' eyeshadow. I plan on having a quick swatch and buying it right there and then. It looks like the perfect crease shade. (Doesn't the word crease sound weird?)
3. My BeautyBlender suffered a tragic injury. What I thought was a gentle massage resulted in the tip almost ripping off. It's still a useable tool and I've tried to substitute it for the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge but I am a tad bias when it comes to my pretty pink BeautyBlender. I plan on accumulating up to ten of them by Christmas. They're amazeballs!
4. I'm having a 'Shall I, shan't I?' moment with the By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Misty Rock. Beautiful shade, dreamy creamy texture, gut wrenching price tag. I'm a firm lover of cream eyeshadows, especially those that come in stick form. But with brands such as Kiko offering the same product range for more than three quarters of the price, I can't bring myself to spending so much. I will, however, continue to swatch and swatch until I give in. Which I probably will, eventually.
5. NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser is on the list. I'm still yet to try a tinted moisturiser that totally floats my boat and i've watched YouTube video after YouTube video on this product. So far, i've gathered that it offers a good amount of coverage for a tinted moisturiser, evens out skin tone, adds radiance and you can slap it on with your fingers if you're in a rush. That is everything I need and want in a base product at 8am to prepare me for my day at University.
6. All of the Kat Von D things. Kat Von D Beauty has landed in Dubai and I want everything from the contour kit to the liners and the liquid lipsticks.
