Auckland makeup haul ❤️

Hey lovelies!! Its been sooo long since I have posted something.. I was back home from November last year with no internet then I moved into my flat about 2-3 weeks ago, we only just got the internet on the other day so I'm so happy to have it! I went to Auckland from 20-25th of feb because it was my birthday on the 24th. It was amazing there compared to Invercargill or Dunedin (in the South Island). There was so much more to do, it was hard though as I had to bus everywhere so I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to do, but I can always go back up! (: I thought I would show you guys what I bought, I can't really show you the clothes that I bought and I did get my hair done but if you wan a check that out head over to my Instagram and type in Bridgettebeauty, Im going from Natural dark brown to blonde!! eeeeekkk such a change. Anyway I was pretty amazed to be able to go into a Chanel store and Louis Vuitton! as I don't have shops like that were I live, we do have lancome, YSL, MAC and revlon etc but Auckland has soooo much more. I did have a bit of a budget so I didn't buy that much and my hair costed $243 so that took most of my money. Hope you enjoy this post!!

~ Chi Chi "Eyebrow shaper and Highlighter" 
I got this on special from Farmers the department store, Im pretty sure it was like 20% off so it would have been around $16 NZD , I do have Chi Chi where I live, but it only has really basic things and barely any of the new stuff, so I'm glad I got this.

~ Chanel "Rouge Coco Shine" Lipstick
As soon as I got home and toke the lid off I damaged it :((( very sad lol. The number is 87 and the colour is called Rendez-Vous, it was either $59 NZD or $69 NZD I don't remember. But I really love this colour and it was the last one as well so I was very lucky!

~ Essie "no chips ahead"
My first Essie nail product! I had my nails done and just for extra precaution I thought I should get my own top coat! I will put this on my natural nail as well without any polish as my nails grow so long but they can easily snap and rip off it really sucks! This was 20% so I paid $19.99 NZD from farmers the department store. 

~ L'Oreal Professional "Mythic Oil"
After I got my hair done I was recommended this, I find it sooo hard after my hair gets wet to try comb it through, they suggested this although I don't think It does much, I prefer my Matrix Oil, but it will still help me keep my hair healthy. It was $38 NZD from Rodney and Wayne Hair Salon.

~ Chanel "Hydration Gel Creme"
This is a tester that was given me, I haven't tried it yet but when I do ill let you guys know! I think the bigger product was around $180 NZD

~ Chanel "Soleil Tan De Chanel"
I have only wanted this like forever! For some strange reason my skin doesn't cope too well with power bronzers and blushes which sucks because there isn't a huge range for creme bronzers/blushes. The makeup lady put it on me and it looked so natural, I was a bit hesitate to buy it as it is $82 NZD and I know on the Chanel online store its only $48 USD but I couldn't be bothered waiting for it to be shipped, and with the NZpost shipping cost and the exchange rate it would have ended up nearly the same price. I look forward to using this so much!

~ Chanel Mascara "Inimitable Intense" 
This is another tester for a mascara, I still haven't tried it but ill probably do each eye using my ysl mascara then with this tester to see the difference. I don't know the price for the Chanel Mascara but it would be good to see the comparison. 

~ Chanel "Coco Mademoiselle" Perfume
I was given 3 testers as I was given a dud Chanel perfume and the makeup lady gave me this to make me feel better I guess lol, I will be ringing up the shop and getting a refund though. 

~ YSL "Glossy stain"
This was given to me by the Ysl makeup lady for buying a foundation which was amazing, I left my red lipstick behind in Auckland so luckily I can use this now. I didn't need a foundation but later in the year I will so smart thinking on that one lol. The number is 9 and I'm not sure on the colour it says "Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres" so maybe the last bit is the name. Such a beautiful colour. 

~ Ysl Nail polish
Ive been wanting a beige coloured nail polish for awhile now, It was $47 NZD  which isn't too bad, its expensive for a nail polish but if it was anymore I probably wouldn't have got it. I haven't tried it yet as my nails have gel nail polish on them so Ill wait until I get the colour buffed off.  The number is 41 and colour is Eau De Rose.

~ YSL "Le Teint Touche Eclat" Foundation 
My faaaaaavourite foundation of all time! This stuff is amazing, I had tried so many foundations, The most expensive was a Lancome one for 160$ and it looked sooo bad, then I found this for 95$ and yes its a huge price difference from when I started off with thinking I was so cool with my 45$ Revlon foundation, My skin type is both oily and dry skin then normal as well, and it works so well on my skin. I have noticed though after using my Dermologica active moist moisturiser that I have to wait at least 5 minutes before applying this as if I don't it won't go into my skin and just gets swiped across. Its really good for adding more and more, some foundations if you add it just looks cakey but this foundation doesn't at all. 

Thank you for reading my blog post! I know it was very quick and basic but Its my second day back at Uni and Im very sleepy! Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of the products that I got and let me know what you think of them (: Enjoy the rest of your day/night and ill write again soon! (: xoxo

Lots of Love
