During this month there has been some awesome new product releases in the drugstore, most of which have appeared to end up in my makeup collection... In this post I wanted to show you a haul of everything I have bought that's been launched recently and also telling you what products I have been loving.

New from Real Techniques, the latest brush set features all the tools you need to define, fill in and shape your brows. This Brow Set retails for £19.99 and contains two pairs of tweezers, three slanted brow brushes and a panoramic brush case/stand.

Urban Decay is one of those brands that I like but I very rarely purchase something from, the last time I bought something from there was the Naked Smokey palette which I absolutely adore, and as a little pay-day/Christmas treat for myself I decided to pick up the Shadow Box Palette and this was quite a spontaneous purchase. It costs £23 and is 'loaded with a DOZEN of their most amazing shades'.

We have Baby Lips and Baby Skin from Maybelline, but the most recent addition into the collection is the Baby Lips Balm and Blush, a multi-use product for use on the lips and cheeks. These retail at £4.99 each and there are four shades in a great range of colour options.

 Yesterday was my birthday and tonight I am going to a surprise birthday 'event' (I'm not sure what ti call it as I have no clue what it even is or where it is!) and I absolutely love this makeup look, I used the Urban Decay Naked Smokey Palette to create an intense and dramatic look combined with a hint of glitter across the lids.

Tomorrow is my 19th birthday and this is the makeup I will be wearing tomorrow night when I go out for a meal and a few* drinks and I decided to go with a glamorous gold eye makeup look with a nude lip and of course I had to use some glitter.. how could I not, it is my birthday!

Great makeup application starts with a clean brush. We all know cleaning your makeup brushes is such an important thing to do but it can be a really time-consuming and boring chore to get done. A few weeks ago I talked about cleaning my brushes with a product from Makeup Revolution, but not to be out-done, the popular brush brand Real Techniques have created this hand-held brush cleansing palette designed to improve the performance of your makeup brushes by 'helping to sweep away makeup, oil and impurities from your bristles for a more truer and consistent colour application'.
