So i'm gunna start with the items I bought for face.
I purchased two foundations, first I got the MAKE UP FOREVER Ultra HD foundation stick in 118 which I haven't really used properly so I don't know what I think of it yet, the I also purchased the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation. I really like this foundation. I was supposed to purchase more but I forgot to! And this particular foundation isn't sold in the UK! I also got the Beauty Blender Nude which I actually prefer more than the other ones it feels more squishy which I like! Next I purchased the Sephora Luminizing Drops in Morning light. I really like these, I've been using these under my powder highlighters and it makes me glow glow glow! Let's move on to highlight I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in 'That Glow' in Macys and I regretted not getting the 'Gleam' kit so when I got home I ordered that one off cult beauty. I really love these, I prefer the more golden one (that glow). The. I also got the Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour kit. I found the brand Girlactik I picked up there face glow in lustre. Moving onto eyes! I purchased the Sephora Z palette, I got this because I was planning on purchasing lots of Anastasia eyeshadows but they only had one of the shadows on my list in stock so I got the eyeshadow in Hot Chocolate. I got the Tarte Tartelette in Bloom palette, this palette is so pretty and it smells so good! I also bought some items from inglot. We don't have an inglot near me so I was excited to get some more pigments (I got some in Prague last year) I got the Duraline, Body Sparkles in 86, AMC Pure Colour Pigments 117, 119, 120, 56. I'm so obsessed with these pigments I bought more which I will talk about later on in the post! I bought the Anastasia brow gel in Auburn. I also purchased some Ardell Wispie lashes. Lastly lips, I purchased the Viva Glam Ariana Gloss, this is my favourite lipgloss. I have no

idea why but I just love it! I bought two Girlactik glosses in Flirty & Nude, the Tarte Tarteist lip paint in Namaste which I love! They are so creamy. A buxom nude lipstick & gloss duo, two Wet & Wild lipsticks which are both nudes (I can't remember the names. If you really want to know leave a comment) I also got a nude NYX lipliner! There are a few items on the picture which are Sephora Point Perks and my birthday present! I love everything I purchased from New York and I had so much fun shopping.
Now for the 'Extra items' I bought, they are all inglot. I loved the things I already owned I bought more!
The pigments are my favourite things! They are so beautiful and they have so many colours to choose from! I purchased the shades (top row L-R) 45, 118, 115. (Bottom row L-R) 111, 114, 113. I've been obsessed with colour in my makeup recently that's why I bought more colourful ones (If you want to see a whole blogpost on the inglot pigments I have including swatches comment down below or on my Instagram!) I also purchased the eyeshadows (Left side top to bottom) 327 which is a deep brown, 325 a rich purple & 332 an amazing blue, (right side top to bottom) 335 a beautiful terracotta, 55 a warm reddy brown and 450 a pretty Berry/Burgundy shade! All the inglot eyeshadows are SO pigmented, everything I've tried from inglot has been amazing!

Recently I've been LOVING using colours. Not just my standard brown smokey eyes. I started by adding berry tones into my eye makeup and now I'm loving all kinds of colours. But this post is all about coloured liner. I've been OBSESSING over @tominamakeup on Instagram, she does the most amazing makeup and she uses a lot of colour. I noticed she would do a smokey eye using a colour and she adds a completely different colour liner in the water line, not just your regular black or brown and it looks so good, so I decided to give it a go myself.
I already had a few 'coloured' liner pencils, I say it like that because the colours I have are Bronzes & Golds which aren't really colourful. I knew I loved the NYX Slide on Liner pencils as I have one in a beautiful copper and they last all day on the waterline, so I decided to get all the colourful ones, yes all of them! They come in 16 shades and I have 11 of them, they are super creamy and pigmented. The shades range from blacks and browns to electric blue and vibrant green! I also really love the Sephora Waterproof pencil liners they are the same consistency. In the pictures from L-R there is Platinum, Glitzy Gold, Golden Bronze, Jewel, Purple Blaze, Pretty Violet, Sunrise Blue, Azure, Esmeralda, Tropical Green & Golden Olive. I love switching up my eye looks now by adding a pop of colour in to the water line. I recently did a Purple/Blueish smokey eye and in my waterline I used Sunrise Blue and it really made the look. I cant wait to use the bright green. I love using the gold liner in my regular brown bronze smokey eyes, i'm really loving using colours at the minuet and I can't wait to use all the other amazing colours. The MAC Pearlglide Intense liners are also really nice they do have glitter in them and the aren't 'recommended' in the waterline but I've wore
them and they have been fine. You could also use the coloured liners as an eyeshadow base because they are creamy. It's a nice way to add a bit of colour into your makeup. If your more of a neutral person you could do your smokey eye and a gold into the water line or add a blue for a pop of colour and it looks amazing.
Here are some of the looks I've created with coloured liners. For the top picture I used the NYX liner in Purple Blaze, I wanted to use the purple with really warm colours so I used an orange eyeshadow from Inglot and a deep orange and berry shadows for a contrast. The purple makes this look different and people are always shocked that they can actually wear a colour liner instead of black or brown. In the bottom pictures I have Sunrise Blue NYX liner and this is one of my favourites. The pigment I am wearing is the Inglot 120 and I knew I wanted to use the purple and blue shadows and add the blue liner, because I'm wearing similar colours, it doesn't look so drastic. I can't wait to use the bright green liner in a look. I've really been loving using colours, I'm actually going to my colour Z Palette full of makeup geek eyeshadows and most of my Inglot pigments are colours. Ive been so inspired by @tominamakeup on Instagram you need go go and check her page out, you will 100% feel more inspired to use colours. I've just purchased two Zoeva liners in a purple and a red and the Makeup Geek liner in Mint. I can't wait to play and create more looks, keep an eye out on my Instagram @ellietaylorrxx to see more colourful makeup looks.
