in the Midst

I'm having major beauty lustings at the moment! Normally, my need-to-shop is confined to fashion; clothes, jewellery, bags and the like. I like makeup, and boy do I use it, but I've never been overly fussed with buying lots of it. Recently however, I've had my eye on a few bits and pieces which I just can't get out of my head!I saw this Bobbi Brown Navy and Nude Palette back in early August in Kuala Lumpur airport and instantly fell in love. I love navy, and this palette is the perfect combination of smokey and nude to get lots of wear out of. I also really love the Illamasqua Complement Palette - cranberry and plum tones, perfect for autumn!Second (third?!) on my list is a plum coloured lip tint/balm/stain. I have a couple of Chubby Sticks already and love the formula. My lips are super thin and as a result can be 'weighed down' by lipstick so the balmy, thinner formula of these is perfect. Kat (my source of beauty knowledge) also mentioned that Revlon and Bourjois do similar versions which I'm going to look out for. And finally, I need a new mascara! For years I relied on Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara, and most recently tried Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara, but am on the lookout for something new. Lots of people recommend Benefit They're Real but not sure if I want to splash the cash... at almost twenty quid it's pretty pricey! Any recommendations?
