I was in town with my boyfriend yesterday evening looking for a red eyeshadow to use for a Halloween Makeup look I want to do for a series of Halloween looks here on my blog and on my YouTube channel too and of course I couldn't find a red eyeshadow anywhere! I looked everywhere, in every makeup shop and at every brand in those shops and not a single one had a red eyeshadow but whilst I was looking I came across a red blush and I thought to myself its not an eyeshadow but it will have to do so that brings me onto my first new buy...
1. NYX High Definition Blush - Shade: Crimson - Price: £5.50
When I was browsing around Boots this Blush stood out to me. Sure I want it more to use as an eyeshadow but honestly it's so pretty no doubt I will use it as a Blush too. I was really excited when I found this because I don't own any NYX products and I've really wanted to try some so now I have the chance!

Of course I couldn't just buy one makeup product although technically I was only meant to be getting one but I can never resist when I have money and I'm around makeup, I just want to buy it all! I made my way to TKmaxx to check out the makeup they had in stock. I discovered they stocked the brand W7 a brand I really like so I searched through the products - there were only limited ones though unfortunately :( However, I did manage to find 3 products which bring me onto my next 2nd, 3rd and 4th buys...
2. W7 Eye Want It - £3.99
I've got to be honest I picked this product up because the packaging reeled me in. Obviously I also really liked the colours but it was the packaging that made me pick up so well done W7 you really know how to get people to be drawn in to your products (I'm more likely to pick up something with nice packaging, any else?) I'm excited to try these eyeshadows.
3. W7 The Fixer Face Spray - £1.99
This is the first ever makeup setting spray I have owned. I'm excited to see how it goes and if I like it or not.
4. W7 Shape Your Face Contour Kit - £5.99
Again this is another first for me, I have never owned a Contour Kit because I was never really into Contouring but I decided I wanted to give it a go and I saw this kit and thought why not?
You may be wondering why all of the products are pictured laying against a shoe? That is because that is where the best light was in my room at the time of taking the photo and I needed to lean them against something and nothing worked except from my boyfriend's shoe...
Let me know what you think of all the new products I bought and if you know a brand that sells a bright red (preferably matte) eyeshadow do tell me because I couldn't find a single one!
All the best
