7 Deadly Sins Tag

Hello ladies, 

Hope you are all well, and as promised I have another post for you guys. I thought I would do the 7 deadly sins tag as it is one of fave tags to read! 

Greed
What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?
My most inexpensive item would be my Natural Collection blush in rosey glow it cost around £1.50 from boots and its such a lovely everyday blush. I mainly wear this to work so I don't look over done and it blends beautifully. 
My most expensive item of make up my Dior amber diamond highlighter, although this originally retailed for £32 I has now unfortunately been discontinued so I had to search high and low for mine and I ended up ordering mine from america so with delivery and customs charge I paid a whopping £52!!! However I just needed this in my life, its simple and elegant. Gives me that Kimmy K highlight effect. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. 

Wrath
Beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?
I have a huge love/hate relationship with blush, I mean I love blush, I love the colours and I hope to build a huge collection. I just have such a fuss about applying it and where to apply it. I used to always smile and apply to my apples but soon realised that this just drags my cheeks down and make me look puffy. I have definitely got better at application but its sort of a love/hate thing going on and I think there always will be. 
The hardest product to get is the Dior amber diamond as mentioned above it took me at least 3 months to track that baby down! 

Gluttony
What are your most delicious beauty products?
Hmmm my most delicious beauty product, does that include moisturiser? If so the Soap & Glory sugar crush body butter is BOMB DOT COM!!! It smells amazing it has a sweet brown sugar smell with a hint of lemon and if I could I would eat the whole tub with a spoon. Its so delicious in smell and texture, its so thick and creamy like a luxury greek yoghurt. I love it! 

Sloth
What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?
I'm so lazy when it comes to lipstick! I own so many, I have 11 mac lipsticks alone but I still reach for lip balm more often. I love lipsticks and deep vampy colours I'm just too lazy to prep, line, apply and then reapply then throughout the day. 

Pride
What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?
I'd have to say mascara, if I'm not wearing any mascara I feel like I look half asleep. It opens and widens my eye making me look and feel much more approachable. 

Lust
What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
This seems random for a beauty tag but hey-ho. I find nothing more attractive than a guy who can make me laugh and I mean really make me laugh til I'm falling on the floor. My husband has the most amazing sense of humour and he's always making me giggle, 4 years down the line and I'm still completely head of heels for him. I put it down to his ablity to make me laugh. 

Envy
What items would you most like to receive as a gift? 
I would love to receive something luxurious, I have been lusting after the Marc Jacobs daisy perfume but I just can't justify paying that much money on a perfume. 

And there we are, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this! I TAG everyone, Please leave a link below if you have done this tag so I can read it too.

Ysl Touche Elcat Concealer/Highlighter pen : Shade 3


Okay so I caved and bought into the hype surrounding this pen! I took the plunge and forked out £25 of my hard earned cash on this bad boy! Although I have only used this a couple of times I can already say that it was worth the money. It the perfect amount of concealer that I am after, okay so the coverage isn't great but I feel that full coverage concealer isn't ideal for everyday wear it looks unnatural. This does one better in the sense it brightens the under eye area making you look more awake and bright eyed without masking or caking your under eye in a heavy concealer. Don't get me wrong there are them special occasions where I want to conceal everything and go all out with the Kimmy K concealer and contour duo, but for everyday this is perfect! The only problem I have with it is that its only 2.5ml which is not very much so I am not sure if this will last too long. BUMMER! 

I have mine in shade 3 light peach and its a perfect match! However shade 1 is meant to be universal and work on all skin tones, I might have to put that to the test. 

Have you ladies tried this? If so how long did it last you with everyday wear?
