First impressions: Kat von D, Too Faced, Benefit, Real Techniques & Soap and Glory

Well I have been shopping in London and one thing that was on my list was, to get my hands on some Kat von D makeup. And there might have been some more cheeky purchases! Like a benefit highlighter, Too Faced mascara, a new brush and some skincare products from Soap and Glory. If you wanna read my other post of what I’ve been wearing in London click here. But let’s jump right into it and I’ll tell you my first impression of each product.

Kat von D

This is definitely a case of “bloggers made me buy it”. And oh boy how glad am I that I did buy them?! First I got myself the Kat von D liquid lipstick in Lolita. It really is a  gorgeous nude colour and stays on your lips for hours and hours. And it’s matte so that’s a winner for me anyways. My first impression was just how easy it glides on your lips and you don’t notice that you’ve put anything on your lip which is a big plus too.

Now I didn’t actually need another contour kit but well, why not?! As I have very light skin it isn’t always easy to find a good contour shade that doesn’t make me look like a clown. The Shade + Light Contour Palette from Kat von D is just bloody amazing. Totally the right shades, you only need a little bit to have a good contour going on! So I’m more than happy that I got myself the contour palette. In addition I really like that the shades don’t look orange on me, which was the case with some previous contour palettes. It just looks really natural.

Too Faced

Moving on to my new mascara. I haven’t tried a new mascara for years and years. Always went with my Rimmle one but as I heared so much about the Too Faced Better than Sex mascara, I really wanted to give it a try. I went with the waterproof version as I need a waterproof mascara for my trip to Mexico – (yay already so excited for it). So what do is my first impression: It is as good as everyone said it was. Definitely gonna repurchase it! It’s staying on power is just great and my lashes look amazing!

Benefit

I do love me some highlighter! This cute little Benefit’s highlighter was just something I felt like throwing in my basked too. It was only 5£ and I can see myself getting loads out of it. You only need a tiny bit for a nice glow and I’ve been wearing it every day. Never tried a wet highlighter but the high beam highlighter from Benefit is just the nicest to apply and work with.

Soap and Glory

I’ve always been a fan of Soap and Glory but never actually went for their skin care bits. I needed a new face serum and while at it I picked up an eye and an over night cream too. The serum (make yourself youthful super serum) and the overnight cream (beauty sleep accelerator) smell amazing. It’s a really fresh scent and they sink into your skin so beautifully. The eye cream (make yourself youthful rejuvenating  eye cream) is really gentle and leaves my my skin around the eyes hydrated all day long. My first impression is really pleasant and I’m excited to see how I will get on with them over the next few weeks.

Real Techniques

Finally my new makeup brush. I was in dear need of a new contour brush and this rose gold beauty is from Real Techniques. It’s from their Bold Metals collection and just amazing! It’s so soft but still dense. I could just sit there and brush my face with it all day long, it’s so calming. But seriously: it makes applying and blending my contour and highlight shades so easy. So glad I got it and totally worth the money (it was 22£)!
