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!

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees. Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope. I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint).

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes a lipgloss crayon. I am going to review this product as a whole, even though I only have it in one shade. This looks like a standard eyeliner pencil, but the design is a lot nicer looking. The majority of them have the silver lid, but I have noticed that a couple of the shades have a different colour lid. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Zero is a soft black shade and it is not the darkest black Urban Decay do. This shade is part of the regular line and mine is the 0.8g sample size, the full sized product is 1.2g. Like the majority of pencil eyeliners, you have to sharpen it to dispense more product and the formula is smooth and creamy. This eyeliner is supposed to be creamy, long lasting, waterproof, highly pigmented and velvety soft. It is also said to contain moisturising ingredients, which makes it very safe f
