For awhile now I've followed many of the British bloggers (Tanya Burr, Zoella, Sprinkleofglitter etc) and even though a lot of the products I haven't been able to get in Australia it still didn't make me enjoy the posts/videos any less. 

I'm super pumped for the many hauls ahead of me. I find myself going back to the blogs and gathering up a list of products to go out and buy! The bourjois chocolate bronzer is on top of my list.

Enough about what I will buy because you'll see them soon enough in future haul posts but for now I'll show you some of the goodies I've gotten so far.

Makeup Academy: Shimmer Highligher £3

My sister lived in the UK last year and with her she brought back some lovely makeup items - this was one of them. I used it and fell in love. I love the colour of this highlighter  and I find the shimmer isn't so overbearing like you can find in other highlighters. I wouldn't say I'll use this as an everyday product but I will use it on days where I'm in the mood for a complete makeup look. 

Makeup Academy: Pro-Base Eye Primer £2

A dupe for Urban Decays Eyeshadow Primer Potion. I haven't used this yet but apparently it's good! For the price I decided that it was worth trying out.

Makeup Academy: Eyeshadow pallets £4 each

When it comes to eyeshadows I'm not very adventurous. Sometimes if I'm feeling daring I'll add a warm orange tone around the crease..but..usually I stick to my neutral shades. I don't know why I do this - perhaps because I prefer to go for a more daring lipstick generally? 

Anyway my sister has these and I adore them. I feel the best eyeshadow jobs I've ever done has been with this pallet, so of course it was something I'd buy for myself. Urban Decays Naked pallets always get such great reviews but because these makeup academy pallets have been so good I've never felt the need to invest in the Naked pallets which are 4x the price. Who knows maybe one day I'll invest but for now these makeup academy ones are serving me well.

Primark: Sultry Lashes £1
