Since blogging, I've accumulated quite a substantial amount of makeup. Well, its definitely not the biggest collection ever but you get what I mean haha. A lot of the makeup I've bought over the few years are blogger influenced, so here are a few bits that I bought purely because bloggers typed about them.
First up we have the Sleek Solstice Highlighter Palette. This is literally everything. With three powders and one cream, this little palette is perfect. I'm so glad I finally caved and bought this, but I don't regret it one bit. For a drugstore highlight palette, its extremely pigmented and I'd say if you were to buy one thing from Boots this month, scrap that, this year, it should be this. Onto something a little more high end now, the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette. I think I ended up buying this about a week after it was released because of the HUGE blogger hype over it. I previously had the Naked 3 palette which I loved, and didn't have anything smoky, so this seemed perfect. I used it a fair bit in the first month or so of having it, but unfortunately its been pushed to the back of the pile. I don't tend to do a smoky eye that often, but I do think this might need to be cracked out again for the festive season.

The Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray. Technically I wanted the UD All Nighter setting spray but it was out of stock basically everywhere (thanks bloggers haha). So I opted for the de-slick version instead. I decided to buy the travel size option first incase I didn't like it, but I'm pleased to say I really do. Although I don't use it on a daily basis, its so good for when you've done a full face of makeup for a night out. I always find looking for a foundation is such a chore, theres so many out there. I wanted a cheap(ish) one, and remembered so many bloggers rave about the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. I really love this foundation, it gives such a great coverage and the shade is perfect for my pale complexion. The only bad thing I have to say about this, is that it clings to dry patches quite badly. I've found this with most L'Oreal foundations I've tried, but apart from that I love it.
Onto some lip bits now. The NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. How could I not mention these?! Every blogger and their dog has tried these I swear. I'm so glad I tried these out because I'm addicted and have quite a few in my collection. They have beautiful shades, they're pigmented and are SO flipping comfortable on the lips, like nothing I've ever tried before. Everything about these are perfect, so I suggest trying them out if you haven't already! Finally, the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob. This lip product was all the range about a year ago now, it was the perfect nude pink shade. I really loved this lip liner, but soon got board and threw it to the back of the pile. As much as its a pretty colour, the stick always seems to snap which is really annoying because you end up wasting so much product!

What products have you been influenced to buy through bloggers?

I love posts like this and I really want to try that Urban Decay setting spray, it sounds amazing! x
ReplyDeleteKate// katerosexo1.blogspot.com
Its a great addition to your makeup collection for sure!
DeleteI've got 2 of these products, you are definitely right- bloggers make me do it too!
ReplyDeleteBlog:: Hannah Rose
Bloggers influence like 95% of my purchases haha!
DeleteOh my god I didn't know urban decay made setting spray and it was so hyped (i mean obviously they make a setting spray bc duh!). What does the de-slick version do or is supposed to do as opposed to the All Nighter version? I had one NYX Lip Cream and I really liked it. It was really nice and it was super comfortable! If only liquid lipsticks could feel like those!
ReplyDeleteHey Zaire!
The de-slick version helps to control oil and all that jazz instead, but I reckon the all nighter is just as good if not better - I wish all liquid lipsticks felt like the soft matte lip creams yes haha!
DeleteAh this photo is so lovely, Lucy!! I absolutely love the Sleek Solstice palette and definitely agree that it should be a product everyone buy's from Boots this year!!!xx
ReplyDeleteLauren | itslaurenvictoria.blogspot.co.uk
Thank you Lauren - its the most gorgeous palette isn't it?!
DeleteI've just picked up a NYX lippy from blogger hype and I can tell a collection may be starting haha! Xx
ReplyDeleteLUCY | lucy-cole.co.uk
NYX do the best lip products in my opinion - I hope you start to grow a collection haha!
DeleteThe NYX Soft Mattes are the best! I love them so much and they're usually my go to since they're so comfy :)
ReplyDeleteRae // http://www.raechic.com
They're my favourite lip product ever - super comfy yees!
DeleteI'm definitely going to do my own post on this!
ReplyDeletefranalibi.blogspot.co.uk
Definitely do - would love to see it Fran!
DeleteThe Sleek palette is a product I've heard so much about when I started blogging this year. I'm really wanting to try it out!
ReplyDeleteNicole | The Glam Surge
You have to pick it up at some point because I can tell you now you won't be disappointed!
DeleteThere are so many products that bloggers have made me buy! The Sleek palter sounds like a must have, I also need to get my hands on NYX lip creams!
ReplyDeletewww.wheresmylipstick.com
Same for me - the sleek palette is definitely a must, and the nyx lip creams!
DeleteI swatched that Sleek palette yesterday, it's just stunning! I have that lip liner too, gorgeous colour but like you say, so bloody annoying when it snaps! I definitely would be a richer girl if I didn't read blogs but my make up would also be a lot worse so swings and roundabouts haha x
ReplyDeleteSick Chick Chic
Every highlight in there is gorgeous ahh - ohh me too Josie haha, exactly, its always nice to get ideas from other bloggers too!
DeleteThe soft matte lip cremes were also a product of reading lots and lots of blogs and hearing people talk about it haha!

I have the UD makeup setting spray too! I love how cooling it is and it locks your makeup in place for hours!
ReplyDelete- Maya at www.TheKelleyDoll.com
Haha of course the Sleek highlighting palette is involved! I could tell that straight off before reading hehe. It's everywhere! At first I really wasn't keen on their palettes but thats because I have the Precious Metals which is 3 creams and one powder. The creams really don't sit nice on my face so I was put off - but now i know this has more powder than cream, I WANT IN! (found you through bloglovin!) xo
ReplyDeletewww.lexilife95.com
Ooh great tips - these all look so great! I love the L'oreal foundation - they give such good coverage and feel so light! I was looking into that UD setting spray too, now I'm convinced! I've also read a lot (thanks bloggers haha) about those NYX lip creams and they seem really good and so affordable!!
ReplyDeleteJosieVictoriaa // Fashion, Travel & Lifestyle
I love the loreal foundation, it's one of the only high street foundations pale enough for me x
ReplyDeleteSounds like great products, I heard many good things about the L'Oreal foundation. I have also many products I bought because of reading blogs :D

Great idea for a post, I still haven't tried the NYX lip products even though I am dying too!

ReplyDeleteemjbarker.blogspot.co.uk
I have a list as long as my arm of things that bloggers made me buy, I am bad for impulse buying!

Oh god bloggers are responsible for about 90% of my makeup collection I think! I still haven't gotten my hands on the Sleek highlighting palette even though I've been drooling over it for months but it looks so gorge! x
ReplyDeleteAlways, Alice
My products is the soft matte lipcream by NYX, they have the best colour in the world hihi

I have definitely been influenced by bloggers with NYX lip creams but they're so good luckily! It would be interesting to how many of my beauty items were bought because of bloggers.
ReplyDeleteEmma | emmaetc.com
Every NAKED palette! I loved the original but like you, I don't use the Smoky palette as much. I've also bought a lot of NYX lip creams but I think they live up to the hype and are such a great price!
ReplyDeletewww.ohsobecky.com
I brought the smoky palette thinking that I will love it but up until recently, I haven't been doing anything with it apart from swatches. I think it's easier now cause it's the festive season and glitter is a must! :) xx
ReplyDeleteYasmina | The July Journal
Bloggers can be very dangerous and make you want to buy everything! Urban Decay Naked palettes and perfumes are the main things bloggers have influenced me to buy!
ReplyDeleteI totally bought the NYX Soft Matte lip creams because bloggers recommended them! I love them though ♥

I bought the Sleek highlighting palette as well and I love it! I've heard bloggers rave about all of these products! I think I should do a post like this :) xo
ReplyDeleteChar | www.charslittleblog.blogspot.co.uk
I looovvveee the sleek higlighters!! they are AMAZING!
ReplyDeletei also love all the urban decay eyeshadow palettes! I dont own the smokey one but i have the basics and the naked 2 palette which i try to use as often as I can
The setting sprays are also amazing as my face gets quite oily so this is perfect in keeping my makeup at bay!
