I've been working 9.30am-7.30pm ish shifts (although I started at 8am yesterday) at work and as I'm getting paid on the end of this month and my birthday is 10 days after, I thought I should treat myself to a few bits and pieces as a reward.
I'm rewarding myself also because this is meant to be my week off school (I'm in year 12, nearly 17). and I've been doing long shifts at work despite the fact that I could have a week of doing nothing.
I was thinking of buying the UD Electric palette, however I'm not sure what else.
I'm open to all ideas, highend, drugstore, clothing, shoes, etc. I'd rather not order online, especially if there's extortionately high shipping costs (like if I order from the US it's shipping costs and customs costs).
Makeup-wise : I wear anything and everything. I have combo skin (dry undereyes and cheeks. Oily t-zone, chin and eyelids). I'm a warm (yellow) undertone but am usually porcelain shaded in foundations.
Style - I wear everything, my everyday go-to is Dr Martens, leggings and a jumper. I always wear my Docs regardless of heat.

Maybe a new pair of docs? A pastel pair for the upcoming spring, I love the pastel purple they have!
As for makeup, I've been wanting the Lorac pro 2 for the longest time maybe you should check that out.

Ooh also maybe some lipsticks! The KVD liquid lipsticks have such a wide array of colors!

Mac pure zen lipstick very cute nude pink! Maybe some new brushes? Real Techniques or Mac,Benefit Pore professional is a really good primer and maybe some eyeliner! I recommend the make up gallery liquid liner! Very inexpensive and lasts so long😽

Ramsha - Thank you! I can only buy the Lorac online and it's so expensive to ship:( I want it so bad! I can't get KVD either as they don't sell it in my country and Sephora shipping + customs is so expensive to the UK:(
Ariana - Thanks for all the ideas! Unfortunately I massively dislike Maybelline and Milani isn't UK available:( I'll try the L'Oreal pigments though, I like the sound of those!
Lilli - I'm such a Benefit freak, might try that!
Martyna - Might try that, I love MAC! I've been eyeing the RT brushes for ages, might have to get a set:) I've been seeing Makeup Gallery everywhere for the past month but haven't tried their products yet, I'll give it a go!
Thanks everyone!!xx

If you are up for wearing bright colors, then the Electric Palette is a must. I totally recommend it. They are pressed pigments and let me tell you, the pigmentation is killer, they are so durable that you can't get it completely off with water. They don't have tons of fallout and there is a good variety of shimmery vs. matte shades to choose from. I would far recommend this palette over any of the 88 palettes by Coastal Scents or BH Cosmetics, and I love those.
I also recommend buying some UD 24/7 glide on liners, the formula is too die for. Super creamy but almost instantly smudge proof and durable. Plus you have tons of colors to choose from.
I also recommend looking into a good eye-shadow primer, they are good for when you don't want to go the Robert Jones route and do the foundation and light setting powder (which is actually what I do often ever since taking his online class). I recommend TooFaced Shadow Insurance, it is by far my favorite shadow primer, It isn't greasy, it is very light, and isn't too expensive. Great product!:)
Hope I helped a bit.
