Christmas Haul #2

I can't count the number of times I've looked in the mirror after doing my make up and thought:

'It doesn't look finished. Something is missing'

The other day I realised why - somewhere along the lines of rushing to get ready for lectures, and not bothering with makeup because I'd be spending the entire day at home doing essays, I've got makeup amnesia. I'd managed to completely forget a key aspect of my makeup routine - lip-gloss. 

I was totally shocked, I love lip-gloss, how could I forget it? I mean, the stuff is brilliant- totally completes any look, that is, if you have the right colour.

Maybe that's why I stopped wearing lip-gloss, the extra hassle of finding the right colour to match my makeup and clothes? Don't get me wrong, when I'm not buried under heaps of Uni work and I actually get some spare time, then there's not much I like better than spending time messing around perfecting all those little details. But I don't ever seem to have spare time. So my poor lip-glosses have been abandoned, beautiful and lonely at the bottom of my makeup box.

Not anymore! Especially now, since the two new lip-glosses I got in my stocking are the exact colours I have been missing. I no longer have an excuse, how long does it take just to whip a quick coat of gorgeous over my lips in the morning? Two seconds tops? Totally worth it!

So, here they are, my brand new shiny things...
