Collective Haul, Well, Kind Of!

Today I have kind of a “collective” haul for you, meaning just a few items I bought on separate days, really!

My hair straighteners were failing, and I wanted to get some new ones before they totally packed up so I went to Argos on the 20^th October and bought the Nicky Clarke Jewel Collection, which includes a 2000W hair dryer and ceramic hair straighteners. Luckily there was a discount offer on this set so I got it for half price at £29.99 instead of £59.99. Plus it was cheaper to buy the set than just hair straighteners from Nicky Clarke, because I got a new hair dryer, so I don’t have to worry about my current one failing, plus I wanted them because they are purple, which is my favourite colour and they match, unlike my other straighteners and dryer.

On the 22^nd October I went to Superdrug and bought yet another Barry M Nail Paint, this time I bought the NEW nail effects crackle polish in 321 Gold Glitter for £3.99 and I earned 3 points with this purchase.

And yesterday I went to Superdrug and bought the Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation in 1 Ivory for £5.99 and four Impulse Body Sprays in True Love for £3.80, as they are on offer at the moment for 95p each. I also earned 9 points. I also dropped by Home Bargains and picked up two Schwarzkopf Country Colours hair dyes in 58 Grand Canyon for £3.98 (£1.99 each). I am hoping to have my hair cut and dyed tomorrow!

Well until the next haul! ;P

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment. THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

KALEIDOS Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette

I have seen these palettes before on YouTube, a few people I follow have featured them in palette collection videos. The colour stories always looked incredible, but I knew I probably wouldn’t get much use out of them as the colours are bright and you are limited to six shades. I had only really seen the Futurism III: Astro-Pink , Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green , Futurism IV: VR Neon and Futurism V: Electro-Turquoise ones before. When I made my first Kaleidos order, I didn’t bother looking at the palettes as I knew I wanted the highlighters and it was going to be pricey as it was. I was browsing through Depop on the day my order arrived and came across the Futurism II: Cyber Bronze Palette . I think the seller must have received her order the same day as me. I instantly fell in love with the colour story, but I pondered over whether to purchase it or not. At 3am the next morning (insomnia), I bit the bullet and made my purchase. It was brand new and untouched, I just couldn’t! THE P...

Violet Voss X Laura Lee Palette

After being blown away by the Holy Grail Palette, I just couldn’t pass on this one! The shade selection doesn’t appeal to me as much, but I know the quality will be there. Also, this palette is limited edition so I wouldn’t recommend hesitating if you are interested in it. I believe this palette is a collaboration with a YouTuber called Laura Lee. I don’t know anything about Laura, but from what I gather she makes beauty videos. The palette design is similar to the Holy Grail Palette but the colour scheme is different, but it still has the holographic effect on the packaging. It has a rectangular shape to it and it is slightly bulky and has a little weight to it. It has a magnetic closing and when you lift the lid it reveals the eyeshadow pans and a mirror. The packaging colour scheme is black and silver. You get twenty 36g eyeshadows in a variety of shades and finishes. BASIC - matte creamy ivory SUGAH - champagne shimmer PRISS POT - matte peach MAMA BIR...
