Haul: Recent Purchases #4

I recently made three online orders and I thought I would share with you what I bought. From FeelUnique.com, I purchased three Urban Decay Single Eyeshadows in Chopper , Verve and YDK . I already have these shades in palettes, but I am going to declutter a few more palettes and these were my favourite shades from the palettes I am getting rid of. From MAC, I purchased three Liptensity Lipsticks in Brick Dust , Doe and King Salmon . I also received six free samples with this order; Neoprene Bag, Upward Lash Mascara , Prep+Prime Natural Radiance Base , Cleanse Off Oil , In Extreme Dimension 3D Lash Mascara and Strobe Cream . I actually had an issue with this order because they sent me the Matte Lipstick in Viva Glam III , instead of one of my Liptensity lipsticks. They let me keep the Viva Glam lipstick and then they sent out my missing Liptensity. A similar thing has happened to me before. It is annoying, but at least it can be easily resolved. I also decided to

Perfume Power! - Britney Spears 'Private Show'

I bought this perfume a while ago because I couldn’t find a sample of it anywhere and I thought I would just blind buy it anyway. I like a lot of other Britney perfumes and I thought I would like this one too. I was a little wrong! The bottle is a transparent glass hexagonal diamond shape and it has a very simple, yet elegant design. The brand and perfume names are printed in gold across the front of the bottle. The cap is made of light pink plastic and shaped like a diamond. This perfume has the regular perfume spritzer. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Coffee, Whipped Cream, Nectarine & Clementine Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Orange Blossom & Dulce de Leche Base Notes: Amber & Musk The bottle design is very nice and sleek. This scent is really light and sweet; it would make a great candle scent. You can smell the musk and warm cream and coffee notes too and it kind of reminds me of Midnight Fantasy for some reason! It does last quite a while on

Serial Sampler #13

I have another mascara sample I would like to share with you today. It is Upward Lash by MAC and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to give your lashes high-rise volume, length and curl and be very easy to apply with the effects being noticeable within seconds. It has a moulded brush with a hollow centre which is supposed to retain a lot of the mascara product. The brush is smaller than a standard mascara wand and it should make it easier to apply. This mascara does add quite a bit volume to your lashes, as well as length, separation and definition. It is very easy to apply and after a couple of coats you are good to go. I also found that it slightly curled the tips of my lashes. The effects hold all day and I do like the brush. I would definitely be interested in purchasing a full sized tube, but it will have to wait as I have quite a few mascaras still to test! You can buy the full sized tube for £19.50 and it is available for sale at MACc

HUDA BEAUTY Desert Dusk Palette

I have seen the HUDA BEAUTY Textured Eyeshadows: Rose Gold Edition Palette before and only some of the shades appealed to me, which is why I decided not to purchase it, let’s face it HUDA BEAUTY palettes are a little expensive! When I saw a photo of the new palette they were dropping, I instantly fell in love. All of the shades appealed to me, but I was mostly interested in the shimmery shades. I actually wasn’t going to get this palette, which is why I bought the CR Queen of Hearts Palette, but I just couldn’t resist! The packaging is quite simple, made of black cardboard but it has an Arabian woman on the front (It might actually be Huda) and the eyeshadow and headpiece she is wearing is reflective. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and eyeshadow pans. You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 25.2g and in four different brand new finishes; Matte, Pressed Pearl, Duo-chrome Topper and Pure Glitter. DESERT SAND -
