With graduation and prom a few days away, a beauty haul was definitely in the works. Since I just finished exams, I hadn't realized just how much makeup I was low on. I very conveniently (not) smashed the remaining remnants of my MAC Studio Fix Plus powder on Sunday (was it Sunday? Who knows...) with Sarah as my witness, thus, it was time for a little haul...
Sephora in Mall of the Emirates is wonderful, particularly at the Benefit counter. I really needed to sort out my brows, and ended up walking out with a plethora of treats for the warmer months. Sephora currently has a promotion where if you purchase any of their Makeup Action products, you can get an amazing 'Makeup Action box' containing minis of the most popular items. The Benefit counter also treated us to a little gift, this adorable pouch, which included a travel sized version of their Porefessional. It's definitely worth taking a peek at the Benefit counter, they have some lovely new makeup and skincare available!
My personal favorite purchase was by far the Watts Up! highlighter - I put a bit on and was amazed by the natural glow it reflected. With the warm weather slowly creeping in, glowy skin seems like a must. At the same time, the heat means more sun protection and skin prep before makeup. The Big Easy cream contains SPF 30++, perfect for the Dubai heat! For long nights out in the heat, the Stay don't stray eye primer and concealer is perfect as a base for eyeshadow, ensuring that any smoky eye or winged liner stays in place. The Porefessional primer is ideal to apply before makeup to ensure that your base stays put, but can also be applied without makeup on top to prevent sweat. I'm so glad I bought all of these products, and can't wait to share my thoughts on the travel sized makeup!
What are your favorite summer makeup products? Are you looking forward to any upcoming releases? Let me know, I'd love to try them out!
