NYX Haul #1

I actually purchased and received these items a few weeks ago, but I wanted to wait to haul them. Plus three of the items are going to be given as Christmas gifts, so I didn’t want a certain someone to see what I have bought them before tomorrow. So let’s get started!

First off this group of items are from Love-Makeup.co.uk, but the other two items are from eBay.
From Love-Makeup.co.uk I bought five NYX products. They include The Runway Collection Eye Palette in Velvet Rope for £10. This palette has very pretty purple shades, and I intend to give this as a gift for Christmas. The items I bought for myself are two Slide On Pencils in Esmeralda and Pretty Violet for £6.50 each, and these are shades I cannot find in my nearest drugstores and they are the type of shades I want and need in my ‘make-up collection’. Lastly I bought two Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils in Milk and Yogurt for £4.50 each and I have wanted Milk for ages and I saw Yogurt swatched and thought it looked pretty, so I thought I would try it out for myself.
From eBay.co.uk I bought two items, which I also intend to gift. They are Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Original, which I bought for £5.75 from wendas159 on eBay and Sleek Pout Polish in Monte Carlo for £5.30 from vanitypalace on eBay. I already own these two items myself and a certain someone uses mine all the time, so I thought I would buy them their very own (how nice am I? lol ;P).

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
