April Makeup Haul

 Today I have a makeup haul for you. I picked up these products from a local discount makeup store. I can’t remember the exact prices, but I’m pretty sure nothing was over £5 so I got some great bargains. A lot of these products are still available in Boots and Superdrug so I got a good deal. 

The first thing I got was another Maybelline Colour Tattoo as I am obsessed with these and I now have 4 in my collection and I want more! I got the shade Permanent Taupe which has been on my list for a while. Permanent Taupe is a cool toned brown with grey undertones and it is matte. I think that this is going to be a perfect base for other eyeshadows. Next I picked up a Maybelline Expertwear Blush in the shade Rosewood. I’m not going to lie the main reason I got this was because of the name (it is the town that Pretty Little Liars is set in) but the colour is really pretty. It is a pale pink shade which I think is going to look lovely on my pale skin. I got a Rimmel Salon Pro polish as I haven’t tried any from this range and I got the shade I Want It which is a bright blue similar to Nails Inc Baker Street. 

I picked up quite a few different lip products. Firstly I got another Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain as I already own Barcelona Nights and I really like it. I got the shade India Intrigue which is a gorgeous berry shade. I picked up another Apocalips from Rimmel this one is an American version so it is called a Show Off instead, but it is still the same product, I got the shade Aurora. I have recently been really enjoying liquid lipsticks so I thought I’d get another one of these. I have the shade Big Bang which I don’t wear too much as it is a very bright red. Aurora looks more of a subtle shade so I’m hoping I’ll get more wear out of it. Next I got a L’Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splash in the shade Romy, I’m hoping that this will be another long lasting lip product. Lastly I picked up another Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick as I already have 2 and I really like them. I got the shade Cherry Blossom which has a Pearl finish which is something I have not tried as my other 2 are crème formulas.

ELF Haul

Today I have an ELF haul and this will probably be one of my last ELF hauls as the ELF website is closing down. As far as I can tell the website is closing down but the product will be available through Beauty Crowd however I don’t know whether this will be permanent or is just for a short time. As the website is closing down they have to sell all their stock so they had a massive sale and I bought quite a lot. 

I picked up a couple of the Hypershine Lip Glosses as I remember hearing good things about them quite a while ago so I thought I would give them a go. I picked up the shades Vixen and Sugar Plum. I also decided to pick up two of their Luscious Lipsticks as I am really enjoying liquid lipsticks at the moment. The shades I picked were Ruby Slipper and Raspberry. 

I went a bit blush crazy in this haul, I got six blushes in total. I got one of the Blushes with Brushes in the shade Bronzed which is more of a bronzer than a blush. I’ve been wearing bronzer a lot more recently so I obviously need to build up my collection. I got one of the Studio Blushes in the shade Fuchsia Fusion which is a very shimmery pink shade. I am also really liking cream blushes at the moment but I don’t own too many so I thought I would pick some up.

 I got two of the HD Blushes as I had heard good things about them; I got the shades Headliner and Superstar. I also got two of the Studio Cream Blushes which look really nice although the packaging is way too bulky. I got the shades Flirt and Seductress.

I got a few different eyeshadows. Firstly I got the Mineral Eyeshadow Primer as I am really in to using primers at the moment so it’s always good to try out new ones. I really like the Pressed Mineral Eyeshadows so I picked up the shade Beauty Queen. I also really like the Baked Eyeshadows and the shade Enchanted is really pretty, it is a gorgeous gold shade.

I am really enjoying cream eyeshadows at the moment I have been using the Maybelline Colour Tattoos a lot recently. I thought I would try out the Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow in Gala which is a gorgeous bronze shade. I also decided to get the Waterproof Eyeliner Crayon in Pitch Black as I don’t have that many eyeliners. 

I picked up a couple of the Moisturising Lipsticks as I already have one that I like so I thought I would get some more shades. I chose the shads Pink Minx and Rosy Go Round. I also got a lipstick from their Mineral range in the shade Rich Raspberry but it turned out to be more of a brown shade so I don’t know whether I will wear it. 

Lastly I got some new nail polishes. I really don’t need any more nail polishes but I just couldn’t help myself and the ELF ones are really good. I got the shades Mint Cream, Lilac and Mango Madness. In fairness I have a lot of autumn/ winter shades but not so many spring/summer shades so that is a good enough reason to buy more.

MUA Haul

When I got an email from MUA saying that I had a 20% code because it was birthday I knew I would be making an order. I haven’t bought anything from MUA in a while but I had quite a few items on my list that I wanted to try and they also had some items in their sale. I got quite a lot of products and I think it cost me around £25 with post and packaging. 

I picked up a few of their brushes. I have tried the Powder Brush (F4) and the Eyeshadow Contour Brush (E4). I think the brushes are really great value for money. I got the Blending Eyeshadow Brush (E3) which was £1.95 and the Eyebrow Brush and Comb (E6) which was £1.50. 

I got the 2 of the Sweet Sheen Lip Balms which are a new launch as part of the Spring collection and cost £2 each. I think that these might be similar to the Lip Butters from Revlon and I can’t wait to try them out. I got the shades French Violet and Cherry Bomb. 

I went a bit lip product crazy. I got 3 of their £1 lipsticks. I got the shades 7, Tulip and Persian Rose. I also got 2 of the Intense Kisses as they were only 75p, I got the shades Kiss and Tell and Stolen Kisses.

I picked up a few of their single eyeshadows as I had heard good things about them but I had never actually tried them myself. I got shade 12, Bronze and Misty Rose. All of the single eyeshadows are £1 each. 

I decided to get the last 2 blushes so I could complete my collection. I needed the shades Bon Bon and Cupcake in order to have all 6. I am looking forward to using these as I really like the MUA blushes which are only £1. 

I saw that they had the Twelfth Night Palette in the sale for £2 so I thought I would pick it up as it is different to most of the palettes I own. It is a perfect palette for winter time as it has browns, greens and purples. I also picked up the Extreme Metallic Quad in Go Getter which had been reduced to £1. This has a beautiful range of neutral metallic shades which I know I will get a lot of wear out of. 

I love testing out new brow products so I thought I would try the Power Brow which comes with a highlighter as well. This was £3 and I am looking forward to seeing what it is like. The highlighter that comes with it looks gorgeous. I picked up one of their new Whipped Velvet Lip Lacquers in the shade Ritzy. These are part of their Spring collection and as I quite liked the original Velvet Lip Lacquers I thought I would give this a go. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and I will be reviewing everything as soon as I’ve had chance to try things out.

Nails Inc Haul (February 2015)

I am a massive fan of Nails Inc polishes and I have quite a collection now. I like to get them when they are on offer or free in magazines. A few weeks Nails Inc were offering their lucky dip offer. They have this every so often and you can get 7 polishes for £19.50 which is a great deal. It is quite exciting as being a lucky dip you don’t choose the colours which means it’s a great way to try things that you might normally pick up. 

The first one I got is Richmond Terrace which is plumy/brown shade something I wouldn’t normally pick up but I am looking forward to trying it out. Next is Chester Street which is a really pretty beige colour with grey undertones. Next is Great Tichfield Street is a pretty champagne/ gold colour. It looks to be similar to Westminster Abbey although it is slightly lighter. 

The gorgeous purple sparkly polish is Royal Opera Arcade. I think that this will make a gorgeous top coat I can’t wait to try it out. Something I am not usually a fan of is matte nails I prefer a glossy finish. The shade Gatwick is a matte red I will try this out as I remember when I used Illamasqua’sFaux Pas I actually quite liked it. The next shade Roland Gardens which is a metallic red shade. I have a couple of these sorts of shades already. The last shade I got was Franklins Row which is a gorgeous purple shade with glitter running through it. For some reason it reminds me of space.

Body Shop Haul (January 2015)

Today I thought I would share with you what I picked up in the Body Shop sale. I didn't get too much but I still wanted to share the few items that I did get with you. Firstly I picked up 2 items from the Brazil Nut line which has sadly been discontinued. This line smells amazing, it has a smell nice sweet smell which I am in love with and I am really sad that they've discontinued it. I picked up the Body Butter and the Shower Cream. I can't wait to start using them but I might ration them so that they will last longer. 

As I bought these items online a lot of their Christmas scents had sold out but I did manage to pick up the Vanilla Brulee Room and Body Spray. I love vanilla scented products and the Body Shop do some amazing body sprays that are pretty long lasting. I have never tried anything from their skincare range so I thought I'd pick up a couple of things. I got the Tea Tree Face Wash as my skin has had quite a few spots recently and tea tree is good for clearing spots up. I haven't tried this yet but when I do I will let you know how I get on with it. 

I also decided to get the Vitamin E Moisturiser as I am running a bit low on my current moisturiser so I thought it would be a good idea to have one ready for when I run out. I've heard a lot of good things about the Vitamin E range so I am looking forward to trying this out. The last thing I got was a re-purchase, I got the Chocomania Lip Butter as this is one of my favourite lip balms it is so thick and moisturiser so it is perfect for winter time. 

Did you get anything in the sale?

Makeup Revolution Haul

If you are an avid blog reader then you will probably of heard of Makeup Revolution. They are a new brand which seems to have taken the blogging world by storm . They are a super affordable brand with lots of exciting products on offer many of which are dupes for higher end products. 

I recently made an order as I could not wait any longer. After reading so many posts I needed to try some of their products and I know I will be ordering some more as I am very impressed with what they have on offer. Firstly I got 3 of their lipsticks which are only £1. The shades I got were Mystify, Rebel With Cause and The One. 

I picked up 2 of their individual eyeshadows as I heard that they were really good. I got the shades Sold Out and Promised Land. They are only £1 each and they are super pigmented. I picked up one of the powder blushes in Wow!, it is a really pretty pink blush which I can't wait to try. 

I got 3 of the All Day & Night eyeliners after reading good things about them. I got One Sin Too Many, Stars Come Out and Channeling My Inner. I am really looking forward to trying these eyeliners out as when I swatched them they feel really soft and creamy. 

Lastly I got probably one of their most popular products. The eyeshadow palettes have been talked about quite a lot. I got the Iconic 1,2 and 3 palettes which are dupes for the Naked palettes. 

I can't wait to try everything out and I will be reviewing everything as soon as I try it out.

The Body Shop Haul

I haven't really tried too much from The Body Shop but when they had a sale I decided to order a few items. I firstly picked up a couple of their Eau De Toilettes in the fragrances Chocomania and Brazil Nut. I love the Chocomania range but I had never tried the Brazil Nut range but I really like the smell of this range and I am glad I picked it up.

I picked up the Chocomania Beautifying Oil which you can use on your body,face and hair. I have only tried one oil and it was a hair oil that I got in Poundland. So it will be interesting to see what this is like. I also got the Chocomania Body Lotion as you can never have too many body lotions I also really like that it has a pump as I hate having to dip my finger into a pot. 

I'm so glad I got the Brazil Nut Body Scrub as it smells absolutely amazing and I can't wait to use it in the shower. Whilst I was on the website I signed up for their Love Your Body Card as you get 10% of your purchases and I also got a free hand cream. I got the Wild Rose hand cream which smells lovely. 

I am looking forward to trying everything out. Do you have any Body Shop recommendations?

ELF Haul #5

A little while ago I ordered a few bits from ELF and today I thought I would share with you what I got.

I finally managed to get hold of the Eye Primer in Sheer, this is one of my favourite primers and it is nearly always sold out so when I saw that it was in stock I had to snap it up. Next I bought a Nail Polish in the shade Skinny Jeans, I saw this on ELF's Facebook page and I fell in love with the colour and the nail polishes are only £2.50. Next I got another Baked Eyeshadow in the shade Pixie. I really like the Baked Eyeshadows as I think they are really pigmented, I have already reviewed the shade Bark which you can see here. I got one of their Single Eyeshadows as I have never tried them before, I got the shade Raspberry Truffle as I saw a review of it and they said it was a dupe for MAC's Trax which is on my list to try. I also got another Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow and this one is in the shade Miss Popular. The last think I got was the Clarifying Pressed Powder as I wanted to try a new powder out. 

I will be doing separate reviews on each of these products as and when I try them. I have also included the haul video I did in case you prefer to watch hauls.

Nails Inc Haul

I wrote a post here about a fantastic offer from Nails Inc. You could get 7 polishes for £19.50 which is a fantastic deal when each polish costs £11. This offer is now over but I recommend signing up for their newsletter as they do this deal quite regularly. Whilst on the website I also signed up for their VIP Scheme which costs £5 and you get a free polish. I thought I'd share the colours I got in my lucky dip.

The first shade on the left is the one I got as part of my VIP membership. It is called Bruton Lane which is a really pretty peach colour which looks like a darker version of Essie's A Crewed Interest (which I love). The next colour is Tilney Street which is a gorgeous pastel blue colour. The next shade is a gorgeous pink called Warwick Avenue  which I know I will wear a lot as I love pink polishes. The next shade is a very unusual shade and I don't own anything like it. It is a lovely turquoise colour with a gold shimmer and it is called Queen Anne Street.  

Next we have Devonshire Row which is a lovely purple shade. I don't own many purples so this is a welcome addition to my collection. The next shade is Argyll Street which is another unusual colour. It is a sparkly grey/black colour that I can't wait to try out. The next polish is a gold called Westminster Abbey  which is another great addition to my collection as I don't own many golds but I have a lot of silvers. The last polish I got was Adam's Row which has specks of red, pink and white and it looks like confetti in a bottle. 

I am looking forward to trying all these polishes and you can expect to see them in NOTD posts coming soon. 

Do you have any recommendations from Nails Inc?

June Haul

Today I thought I would share with you some of the bits and pieces that I have picked up during the month of June.

I'll first start with the items that I picked up at a local discount beauty store. This shop stocks a whole host of brands and products and discounted prices. I picked up another Rimmel Glam Eyes Eyeshadow this time I got the shade Punchy Taupe (160) for £1.99. The quality of these eyeshadows is amazing they are really pigmented and really easy to blend. I picked up a Revlon Photoready Blush in the shade Flushed for £3.99. I don't own many cream blushes so I thought I would give this one a go as I love Revlon and this colour is really pretty. I then picked up the W7 Light Diffusing Concealer for £2.99. It looks very similar to the YSL Touche Eclat so I thought I would give it a go. I picked up another Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick as I really like the formula of these and I loved the colour of this one. I got the shade Funtime Fuschia (320) for £2.99. The last item I got was a Revlon Lipgloss from the Super Lustrous range. I got the shade Berry Allure (225) as I remember Essiebutton mentioning it a few years ago and I love Revlon lip products and it was only £2.99. 

I then picked up a few bits from MUA as I had a few things on my wishlist. I got 2 lipsticks as I think that the lipsticks are a great value for money at just £1. They have a pretty decent shade range and the quality is pretty good there are a few hit and miss shades but usually the darker shades are the better ones. I got the shades 2 and 3, the one thing I don't like about them is the fact that they don't have names as it makes them seem a bit boring (am I the only one you thinks this?). I picked up another one of their blushers as I really like them. I already own Marshmallow, Candyfloss and Lolly and I have now added Bubblegum to my collection (I intend to own all the shades!). The last think I got was from the Luxe range it is the Velvet Lip Lacquer in Criminal, I only picked up one of these despite having other shades on my wishlist as I wanted to see whether I liked it as I am not normally a fan of matte lips but I wanted to give these a try. 

In Boots I picked up some Sanctuary Spa minis as I've heard a lot about the brand but have never tried anything from them before. I think that minis are the perfect way to try out products without committing to the full size version. I got the Body Moisture Spray as I thought that it would be perfect for summer. I also picked up the Illuminating Moisture Lotion SPF15, the Fresh Faced Purifying Wash and the Body Butter. 

I also picked up some bits from Seventeen as they had a free gift when you bought any 2 products. I haven't tried many things from Seventeen but I have good things about some of their products. I got the Skin Wow 3 Way Highlighter. This can be used in (you guessed it!) 3 ways: you can use it as a primer, mixed with your foundation or as a highlighter on the cheekbones. I have read some great reviews of this so I thought I would get it. I also got the Cheek Stamp Blush in  Made You Look, this is such a gimmick but I love gimmicks so I just had to have it.

The last thing I got was the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer as it was in the clearance section for £2.50 so I thought I'd get a back up as it was cheaper.

April Haul

The other day I did a little bit of shopping and I thought I would share with you what I got. Most of the things I bought in Poundland and Poundworld as they had some amazing deals in. I ended up buying quite a few nail polishes not that I really needed them as I already have quite a large collection.

First up both Poundland and Poundworld often have a large range of Revlon nail polishes and this time 3 colour took my eye. The first is Ruby Ribbon which is a gorgeous sparkly pink colour with silver sparkles in it. Next is a lovely mint green colour called Minted which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. The last Revlon polish I got was Barely Bones which is a favourite of Essiebutton     when I saw her talk about it I liked the colour but wasn't sure if it would suit me and I didn't want to spend £7.99 in case I didn't like it. So when I saw it for a pound I knew I had to pick it up as even if I don't like it I haven't lost too much. 

I also picked up a China Glaze crackle polish in the shade Tarnished Gold, I haven't tried anything from China Glaze before so it will be interesting to see what this is like. I bought a lot of crackle nail polishes from OPI also from Poundland but I didn't get a gold one so this will fit well in my collection. I got this lovely pastel lilac shade from Sinful Colours in the shade Mauve which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. 

I picked up 3 Revlon Baby Sticks which are cream blushes. I got the shades Sunset, Tahitian and Pink Passion. I thought that these would be great for spring/summer. When I swatched them they weren't that pigmented but I have used Pink Passion and it doesn't look too bad but I am glad I didn't pay full price for them. 

The last 2 things I got are lip products. I saw this Maybelline Baby Lips and I don't believe that this is one that we can buy in Boots so I thought I'd get it as you can never have too many lipbalms. I went to Superdrug and picked up one of Tanya Burr's lipgloss. I was very excited when she launched her lipglosses and nail polishes and I had wanted to try them and then they released them into Superdrug so I knew I had to go and get something. I was restrained and only got one item a lipgloss in the shade Exotic Island I wanted to try one before I went crazy and bought more colours. I have to say I am very impressed and I will be getting more shades.

Collective Haul- A Few Bargains

Today I want to share with you some of my recent purchases. I have been relatively good recently and haven't bought too much as I am trying to save money for next year but a few things were really good value for money that I couldn't not buy them.

The first 2 items I got from Topshop. I don't very often go into Topshop as I find their things to be too expensive but I managed to find these 2 bargains in the sale. My friend at school was telling me about her new purse which had a space for her phone in as well as a card and note section. She told me she picked it up in Topshop for £3 so I went to my local Topshop as I really liked the style and thought it would be good for nights out. I got the black one with gold studs as I felt that this would go with most outfits. I also picked up another purse which was also only £3 and it is a gorgeous gold colour. It has a lot of space inside for card and money so I was really pleased with this bargain. 

I went into TK Maxx to have a look at the beauty section. I don't often find anything that I want to buy but this time I found a few things that caught my eye. The Bellapierre Travel Essentials Kit was to good a bargain to miss. The RRP is £49.99 but I got it for only £9.99. It comes with a eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and an eyeshadow trio which is absolutely stunning. 

I also saw the Percy & Reed set which was only £9.99 I haven't tried many products from the brand but I have heard good things about their products. I thought that this was a good way of trying a range of their  products without spending too much money. 

The last thing I got from TK Maxx was from the Scottish Fine Soaps Company a brand I have never heard of. I picked up the body milk not because I needed one but because I thought the packaging was so unique and at just £3.99 I thought it was worth a try. 

The last 2 items I got were from H&M, I really like H&M clothing they have some great bargains available. I picked up these 2 stripy tops in the sale. I am a massive fan of stripes and these shirts were so affordable one was £5 and the other was £7. I will wear these so much as they are really comfortable and I love the pattern.
