Golden goodies!

I had a few hours to spare yesterday afternoon after a morning of doing some serious studying for one of my new modules. After a long time reading up on feminists and women's rights I gave up and decided to treat myself and do a bit of shopping.

The car was parked and I hit the YSL counter, I love their packaging it wins me over everytime.

I know I'm weak and it's overpriced but it looks so pretty, I think I have magpie syndrome if there is such a thing.

I didn't go too mad as I'm waiting for the weekend when I can go crazy at IMAT'S, there's no way I'll be able to restrain myself there.

I ended up buying their Perfect Touch foundation in Shade 5 which I love. I've been using this on and off for the past year or so and it's still the one I reach for 9 times out of 10. The packaging is great, it comes with a foundation brush at the tip making it super quick to apply and is the smoothest formula ever.

No other foundation has made my skin look as flawless and natural, it gives a light to medium coverage and never looks heavy. It also smells yummy. I apply it using the given brush then buff it in to my skin with Mac's 183 flat-topped brush and Mac's 109 brush to get into smaller places around my face.

I also got something I've wanted for a while now, as you know I'm a big fan of YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks, the queen of all lippies. I have a few colours already but I saw Number 2 on Lollipop26's blog and it looked gorgeous, so I had to have. It's so pretty just the kind of colour I like, nude with a hint of Peach, Number 1 is similar but with a hint of Pink.

Number 2!

I also got a Easy Liner from their Spring 2009 collection, I had a similar style eyeliner from Chanel a while ago which was good but I got sidetracked with Mac and Bobbi Brown's gel liners which I've been using ever since. When I saw this I had to have it, I got shade 2 which is a chocolate brown, gorgeous colour and great packaging.

I tried to demonstrate the thickness of lines but basically it's easy to use no matter how you like your liner to look.

I used it today and it's easy to apply and gives a great line, you can make it thick or this and do good flicks if thats your style. The only downside is the steep pricetag, I didn't ask how much it was and only looked at the reciept after but it was £21, is it just me or is that a little much for an eyeliner?
