December Favourites

Hey peeps,
After my recent beauty haul, I've discovered a lot of new (to me) products that I've become such a fan of over the past month or so. Here are my absolute favourite finds from December.

Kevyn Aucoin The Art Of Sculpting and Defining Vol. III
When I saw this, I knew I had to get it. I've been wanting to try the sculpting powder for ages and although this one contains all three shades and the darkest is definitely too dark for me, with a light hand and the right technique I can make it work. The blush looked so amazing as well - and it truly is! The highlighters were a bonus for me as I hadn't heard much about them. The shades in here are exclusive to the palette, I believe, but they as well are stunning! I think this is such a good quality palette and it honestly didn't break the bank. Well done, Kevyn!

Too Faced Sweathearts bronzer
Years and years of seeing this, but I always thought I had way too many bronzers already to justify this purchase. Still, I keep seeing this one in blogposts and youtube videos frome time to time and people seem to really enjoy it, to this day. With Black Friday deals I finally got round to ordering it and now it's mine! I really underestimated the power of a good bronzer, but this one is just one of those bronzers that really gives you a natural, sun-kissed look. I need to use it with a light hand but the shade is so perfect and will come in so handy this winter. Big love for the product (although the packaging, not so much. It's so bulky and I wish it would come in a plastic one like the love flush blushes).
Chanel Le Lion De Chanel highlighter (holiday collection 2018 - lt. ed.)
As much as I'm always ready to pick up a new Chanel bronzer in summer, I always miss out on their holiday highlighters for some reason! A few years in a row I've seen their stunnng highlighters and they are always sold out before I van get my hands on them. This year I was right on time and although I really didn't need a new highlighter, I couldn't resist this one when I swatched it. It looks quite a dark golden shade in the pan but it applies so subtly that it works for my light skin tone. It has an interesting, almost peachy shift to it, which you wouldn't really expect from a traditional, festive highlighter. I am truly obsessed and I will keep using this one for the rest of the party season (which I know is almost over, sadly...)
Zoeva Café eyeshadow palette
Discovery of the month: this gorgeous eyeshadow palette. It's very un-like any other eyeshadow palettes these days, and I know this is not a new release at all, I just never thought the mauves would work with the greens, and was confused by why they called it the Café palette, but it's not a brown toned palette? That aside, it's such an interesting colour story and I must say I enjoy the greens in here very much. I love a good green eyeshadow but there's so many things there could be wrong with it. It's not the absolute best in formula I've seen from Zoeva but I love that they are buildable and the undertones are just spot on.
Mac Liptensity lipstick - Doe
DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I have found myself a dupe for the Fleur DeForce x Mac collaboration. And it turns out I'd found it a long time ago, but forgot... Now that I finally can put this to rest, and keep enjoying this shade, I'll probably come by a shade that's even more perfect... Anyways, this was a formula I'd never tried before and it's actually quite interesting. It doesn't dry down completely matte, but is sort of similar to the Comfort Mattes from Urban Decay. I'm super excited with it and this might be my favourite lipstick purchase of the entire year...

Tom Ford Noir pour femme
I once had a sample of this perfume and although I'm still not sure if that was the men's or the women's fragrance back then (as it didn't say), I loved it and I picked this one up after my collaboration with De Bijenkorf which I got a gift card for to spend in their store. I picked up the Nars lippie set, the latest Nars mascara that I've yet to try and this perfume. The reason I'm explaining you this is that I would never ever spend the crazy amount of money this one cost on a perfume that will be gone in no time. This baby is 30ml and it was a whopping 72€! I have bought me some Jo Malone in the past but even those are "only" 50€ for the same amount of perfume, compared to this Tom Ford one that's really doable. I must say though, I love this perfume a lot and it just screams winter to me. It's such a deep, dark shade and I love that so much. It has a hint of sweetness to it (sweet as in, chocolate sweet. Like caramel sweet. Hmm.) I will use this so sparingly and I recommend you try and give this a sniff if you like a deep and heavy unisex perfume.
Lots of love,
