Haul: Before/After Christmas Sales

Today I am going to share with you what I bought during the Winter sales.

Firstly I went to Boots to collect my online order I made on Christmas Eve during the sales. I picked up the Lady GaGa Fame 50ml Gift Set, which includes the eau de parfum, shower gel and body lotion and the Soap & Glory Crazy Sexy Kohl Gift Set, which includes five eyeliners and three eyeshadows. I also received a free sample of Valentino’s ‘Valentina’ perfume with my order, which was excitingly unexpected. After I collected my order I noticed that the electric toothbrush I was after was half price in Boots, so I decided to get that too and I got an extra 10% discount off it. I got the Oral B Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush, which includes three brush heads (Precision Clean, Floss Action & 3D White), a charger and station with brush head storage. Lastly I went to Argos to purchase some hair straighteners that I had reserved that morning because mine needed replacing. I bought the Nicky Clarke Allure Hair Straightener, which comes with an accessory bag to store it in. I chose these ones because they were Nicky Clarke’s and they were less than half price because of the sale!

I can’t wait to start using everything and I will be reviewing some of them very soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Beauty Bakerie Lip Whips & Remover

I had wanted to try these lipsticks for a very long time, but I was sceptical as I had heard mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people dislike them. I had also heard that they are very hard to remove, which leads me to believe that the staying power must be there. My current favourite liquid lipsticks are still the JSC Velour ones and nothing else I have tried has topped them yet, a couple of brands have come close though! ABOUT THE PRODUCTS The packaging of the lipsticks is simple, but aesthetically pleasing; I like the blue accent caps. It is made out of plastic and there is something inside the tube to make the formula looked twisted in the tube, which is a nice detail that I haven’t seen before. The applicator is a little pear shaped sponge with a little well in the middle to hold the product. The packaging of the remover is also pretty simple and cute. The container is made of lightweight plastic and you could easily repurpose it once you have used up the wipes. You get 3...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
