Every now and then I like to treat myself to some slightly pricier makeup products. It'll usually be after hearing a blogger rave about a new product or if I need to repurchase one of my absolute ride or dies. Most of the time my luxury beauty purchases tend to be successful and today I wanted to talk you through some of the high-end makeup products that to me are 100% worth the splurge!
high end makeup products that are worth the splurge blog post
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter | Everyone went crazy when this baby launched and it didn't take me long to see why. It's a primer/highlighter hybrid and is one of the best cream products for achieving a beautiful (intense) glow. I love how it soft focuses and blurs pores whilst still giving a dewy finish to the skin. My favourite way to apply it is with my fingers dabbed on the high points of the face. The glow is real!

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soliel Bronzer | Most of you will probably know bronzer isn't really a staple in my routine as I've never managed to find one that works with my fair skin. I've always heard people say this was the best offering so I decided to purchase it and I'm so glad I did! It's a very light bronzer with a neutral undertone which works perfectly if you're pale like me. The texture is so smooth and blendable and I love the fact it's matte as it can double as a contour powder. How fab is that?

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation | I think every beauty lover has probably tried this foundation at some point in their life. It's such a classic and is perfect for those days when you want a really flawless base. The coverage is definitely a medium-full depending on how you apply it and it gives a gorgeous satin finish. Mine is just about to run out but I'm definitely going to be purchasing a new one soon! 

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette | I can't remember the last time I did a proper smokey eye. It's just not my thing anymore but I do still like a bit of something on the lids. I love a warm-toned eye look and this palette will always be my go-to for a subtle wash of rose-gold goodness. The shadows blend like a dream and the shimmers, in particular, have a beautiful payoff. Love! 

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick Pillow Talk | There aren't many formulas that have really wowed me over the past year or so but this lipstick completely changed the game in terms of lip products. I don't know how Charlotte has done it but this goes on so creamy and smooth but still has amazing pigmentation and staying power. This shade is a cult classic and is perfect for cheating slightly fuller lips. I really want to pick up the Pillow Talk blusher soon! 

Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara | When I want serious volume and curl this is the mascara I reach for. My lashes are pretty straight so I love anything that's going to add a lot of drama without being clumpy. I only need one coat with this which is another reason why I love it. If you love high-end mascaras I can't recommend this enough! 

Clinique Cheek Pop | I absolutely adore this blusher formula. It's pigmented, has a beautiful sheen and applies like a dream. I have the shade Ginger Pop which is perfect for this time of year as it has just the right mix of rose, peach, and pink. I also have Melon Pop which I love to wear in the Summer as it's a lot lighter and warmer but just as pretty!
