I was most excited for Urban Decay and Sleek. As you can see, I purchased a few things from each. It might just be easier to list the products, and do in depth reviews at a later date (particularly with the Benefit and Sleek palettes)
Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray - I've had a mini bottle of this since my Dad went to England last year, and it's been on my to-buy list for ages. I love this stuff.
MAC Mineralise Moisture SPF 15 Foundation in NC25 - I thought it was about time I bought a foundation specialised for dryer skin.
Benefit The Bronze of Champions - I actually picked this up duty free which I was really excited about. It has a mini Hoola bronzer, They're Real mascara, a Creaseless Cream shadow and a mini Watt's Up! highlighter, all of which I have wanted to try for ages, so it is a perfect purchase for me! I will have a review up sometime soon of this set.
Sleek Ultra Mattes VI Brights Palette - I have wanted this palette ever since it came out, but the websites I rely on to buy my Sleek (mainly Lipstick Republic) haven't had it in stock for ages. This was the last one on the shelf at Superdrug when I went in, so I snatched it of course. A review of this palette will also be up soon.
Sleek Storm Palette - I've contemplated buying this palette for a while, so I took the plunge when I was able to swatch it in store. I haven't tested any of the palettes I've bought out yet, but I probably won't review this one because it is one of the most popular Sleek palettes.
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - This is another palette that has been on my to-buy list, but I always told myself to wait until I went to England to pick it up. I probably don't need this in my collection, but you can never have enough eyeshadows, or palettes!
Vivo Cheeky Cream Blusher in Bloom - I'm not big on blush, but over in England people are, so I thought I'd pick up a cream blush (as I have dry skin and it would work better) to try out. I've used it a few times, and so far so good.
Nivea Lip Butter Raspberry Rose - I haven't seen this lip butter in Australia, and I picked this up on my first day in England when I saw it.
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Stellar - I saw this colour and instantly thought of a favourite lipstick of mine, Party Parrot. I haven't done a side by side comparison yet, but if it is dupable I will make a post.
Collection Cream Puff in Powder Puff 2 - I just wanted a nudey every day lip colour while I was overseas, but I haven't been overly impressed with this. It is meant to be a matte formula when dry, but it likes to cling to all kinds of dry patches on your lips.
Lancome Hypnose - The lady at duty free tempted me with this, and how could I say no once I looked at the packaging? I'll have a review of this coming up soon.
Barry M Fine Glitter Dust - I wanted a gold glitter, and I got it. Can't wait to give this one a go.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo On and On Bronze - In Australia, this is called Bad to the Bronze. I decided to pick this one up while I was in England because it was cheaper, but also because it was summer and I wore this a few times on my lids as an all over colour.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo Light in Purple - In the beauty blogosphere, I have heard people talk about this lovely duochrome colour tattoo, of which I'm unsure will ever be released in Australia. This was another purchase I made on my first day. I'll definitely do a review of this.
Collecton Lasting Perfection Concealer in 1 Fair and 2 Light - I bought Light first, and it was a little dark on me (it leaned a bit orange). Fair I picked up later, and while it is a little light, it is good as an undereye concealer.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal in 012 Bronze - I actually don't own a bronze eyeliner, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to pick one up.
Sleek Face Contour Kit in Light - My beloved contour in my Sleek Face Form palette has hit pan, so I picked this up as a back up.
Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Mystic - I've wanted this lipstick for a while, but I wanted to be able to swatch this and another one to see which I preferred. The other had shimmer in it, so I opted for the matte.
Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Naked - I'm trying to get into nude lips (which I have until recently avoided), so that is what fuelled this purchase.
MAC Candy Yum-Yum Lipstick - It's been on my to-buy list since it was made permanent, and with the significant difference in prices between Australia and the UK, why not ;)
MAC Honey Love Lipstick - This is a matte nude, that looks very friendly to me. Can't wait to give this one a go and get some use out of it.
