Beauty net-a-porter unboxing // MostlyMilly

I was lucky enough to receive a gift voucher for Net-a-porter for my birthday recently and of course I had to go on a makeup shopping spree ( as I am clearly in need of more makeup.) I ended up getting a nice haul for myself containing;
- Nars foundation in Gobi
-Nars albatross
-Nars deepthroat
-Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade (taupe)
-Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow pencil
-Beauty blender (white)
-Tom Ford lipstick ( First time)
-Hourglass lipstick ( Nude no1)

The Nars foundation was a little bit of a risk as I have been using Nars as my main, personal foundation for around 3 years now ( starting with sheer glow, moving onto all day luminous) and have always used the shade Mont Blanc. Recently however I have been feeling as though Mont blanc has been making me look slightly orangey and I have fallen out of love with it. I love the formula however so instead of re purchasing Mont Blanc I ordered Gobi. I have tried it tonight and so far it seems close to a perfect match however I will need to see it tomorrow in the daylight to make any sort of decision.

The other two Nars products I purchased were the blush -deepthroat and the highlight-albatross. These are very popular Nars products and I really wanted to try them out. Deepthroat is a very pretty pink blush and Albatross is a highly pigmented highlight with strong gold undertones. I'm yet to try these out properly but so far I am happy with them.

I love Anastasia Beverly Hills and their products and have never disappointed me. I'm a big fan of the cream contour kit and wanted to broaden my collection a little. I bought the brow pomade in the shade Taupe and the brow pencil in medium brow. 

The two lipsticks I ordered are some of the most gorgeous shades I have ever seen. I bought my first ever Tom Ford lipstick in the shade - First Time and its a beautiful matte pinky nude that I am so excited about. The second lipstick is my FAVOURITE LIPSTICK OF ALL TIME. I have most likely mentioned this lipstick on my blog before in fact I am sure I have. The Hourglass nude no 1 is my favourite lipstick ever and it is so perfect for my skin tone. I do not suit orange toned lipsticks at all and the Hourglass nude no1 is so pinky but subtle and I adore it. This is my fourth tube.

Lastly I grabbed a beauty blender as you can never have too many and as much as I hate to say it, although they may be expensive for a sponge, they are much softer and are better quality than other beauty sponges on the market currently. 

Thank you for reading my loves!!

I'm back!!! + Louboutin lipstick review

Hello!
Hope everyone is doing well and have had a wonderful May. I haven't so much as thought about blogging for so long now and my friend Chloe messaged me recently and jolted my memory and I now remember how much fun it used to be.
It's common to blame life getting in the way of your hobbies however you can always make time.
I celebrated my 18th birthday this last month and I had the most wonderful time. I was surrounded by friends and family and I couldn't have asked for a nicer time. I threw a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed garden party ( of course I did ) and received some lovely presents. One of which, was the Christian Louboutin lipstick gifted by my brother and sister. I say brother and sister but I think its fair to say my sister did the picking and she did a fabulous job.
The shade is satin trés decollete and I adore it. The packaging is super luxurious and the colour is perfect for my skin tone. I like the fact it isn't matte as I've been going off liquid/matte style lipsticks recently due to their drying qualities and the inevitable Kylie Jenner look. This shade is a salmon pink with a fair amount of gloss and its incredibly pretty. It's extremely wearable and although it looks too pretty to use, I bit the bullet and have been wearing it often.
I love the finish of the formula and it feel very luxurious on the lips leaving them feeling moisturised and soft however the lipstick comes at a heavy price. £60 for a lipstick could be seen as overpriced and although I love the colour, I don't think I could afford to continually buy it if it runs out.
However, I feel that you pay for the luxurious packaging, the name and the ability to carry around a Louboutin in your handbag and not just the lipstick inside.
Let me know what blog posts you'd like to see again and I might have a £200 order of makeup from net-a-porter arriving tomorrow so I will keep you posted..

lots of love,
