Instagram would be the main platform that constantly makes me buy things. That can be anything from
home decorations, coats, bags or beauty products. However, as much as I love to get inspired by all the beautifully curated pictures and recommendations on the platform, I am sometimes I bit hesitant to whether or not it is just another hyped and well-advertised product or if I really need it in my collection. So today I thought I would go through 5 beauty products that Instagram made me buy.
Tom Ford Lipsticks
Tom Ford lipsticks are a staple in a lot of beautiful beauty and lifestyle flatlays on the Gram. I mean, their packaging looks absolutely gorgeous with their unique square shape and golden details. But are they even worth their hefty price tag? I would say yes! They are very creamy and comfortable to wear. What I love about them the most is the extensive colour range. I am someone who almost exclusively wear nude lipsticks and wow.. their range in just nude tones is amazing. You really can find the right shade for you. My fave has to be the shade “Paper Doll”.
YSL Libre
The YSL Marketing Team really did a great job with that one. Around the launch date of the Yves Saint Laurent Libre perfume, I just saw this gorgeous bottle everywhere. Honestly, I think have never come across a perfume bottle that looks more aesthetically pleasing than this one. So, of course, I had to cave and splurge on it and luckily it’s not only beautiful to look at but it also smells amazing!
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Highlighter
I remember seeing the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Highlighter in Heatwave a few years ago. I must have waited too long to get it because it sold out pretty quickly. So when I recently saw they came back with it I knew I needed to take the plunge. And wow, this highlighter not only looks gorgeous in pictures, but it is also a masterpiece in real life. But be warned: if you prefer a natural barely-there highlighter, you should pass on this one. It is intense but beautiful!
YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Slim
I am a sucker for lipsticks and feel like I am always looking for the next pinky nude to add to my collection. So when I came across the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim I knew this is the matte lipstick I needed in my collection. I got the shade “Rare Rose” and am already eyeing up “Inflammatory Nude” which seems to be a more neutral nude. It really is pretty matte, so I like to apply a lip balm first to prevent my lips from drying out. But the staying power really is something else!
YSL Touche Eclat Blur Perfector
Okay, I have to admit I only bought the Yves Saint Laurent Eclat Blur Perfector because of its pretty pink and gold packaging. I mean, isn’t she a beauty? It actually is not a powder, it has more of a balm texture which mattifies and blurs your skin. I actually really like to use it throughout the day when my skin gets a bit too oily. It works perfectly over makeup without making my skin look chalky like powders tend to do. So this is a real win. Bought it for the looks and keeping it for the product.
