BIRTHDAY BEAUTY BITS

It's been just over two weeks since my birthday now and this year I got quite a few new beauty bits or I picked myself some up so I thought I would share it all. I have now had chance to try out the products so I can give a review of them at the same time.

Becca Apres Ski Glow Collection Face Palette | £45.00

This palette immediately caught my eye when it was released. Becca are one of my favourite formulas of highlighter and a palette full of them as well as blush and bronzer is perfect. This contains blushes Winter Berries and Blushed Copper, bronzed bondi sunlight bronzer and highlighters Opal, Rose Gold and Icicle. The formula of these are so buttery and soft that look beautiful when applied on the skin. The packaging of this is a pretty ice blue mirror effect with a snowflake pattern.

Huda Beauty Obsessions Palettes | £25.00 (each)

I have been wanting to try the Huda eyeshadows for the longest time but her standard eyeshadow palettes are quite pricey so these minis are perfect to try our her eyeshadows. The range features 4 different palettes; Warm brown, Smokey, Mauve and Electric. I got the Smokey and Warm brown as gifts and treated myself to the Mauve one with a discount code from Cult Beauty, personally the electric one wasn't for me as I don't tend to wear bright colours. These palettes are great as although they are minis the size of the eyeshadows are not and they are the same size as her normal palettes just without chunky packaging. The Smokey palette is just that a collection of browns, golds, silvers and a black, Warm brown has more earthy tones with coppers, browns, reds and a cream, Mauve has pinks, burgundy, rose gold and a deep aubergine shade. The formula of these is so insanely pigmented and remind me of the ABH eyeshadows as you need very little on your brush. I think I favour the shimmers but the mattes are amazing too and blend beautifully.

Huda Beauty Nude Love Collection | £33.00

Huda's liquid lipsticks are one of my favourite formulas as they are so moisturising on my lips and this nude collection was perfect for me. I am such a nude lip colour junkie and in this set you get most types of nude you would need. The shades are ‘Crush, a beautiful, cool-toned pink, Girlfriend, a apricot nude, Wifey, a dusky pink and Sugar Mama, a deep rose nude. The formula of these has a velvet finish so it doesn't dry completely matte or dry the lips out.

Huda Beauty Contour & Strobe Lip Set | £29.00

These adorable lip sets from Huda are the perfect stocking filler or gift for a beauty lover. In the set you get a mini liquid matte, mini lip strobe and a lip contour. In comes packages in an adorable metal lip shaped tin that looks amazing on my dressing table. I went for the Bombshell and Ritzy duo, Bombshell is a pinkish nude shade and Ritzy is a gleaming gold shade.

Another part of my present was a free gift Cult Beauty were giving if you spent over a certain amount and it included over £300s worth of products. Some of these included the Huda Beauty Primer, Nyx Strobe Genius Palette, Pixi Setting Spray, Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Mini, Touch in Sol Eyeshadow, Sunday Riley Skincare, Lime Crime Liquid Lipstick and more. I was so impressed with some of the products and especially how many full size products there were. This has also given me the opportunity to try out some brands I hadn't before and think about whether I want to buy a full size.

Have your tried any of these products?
