Haul: Recent Purchases #7

I have purchased a hell of a lot of beauty related items between Christmas, New Year and beyond, I have completely gone mental!!! I can’t quite believe how much I have purchased or spent. I got discounts off the majority of the items, but it is still a lot to process. I thought I may as well share with you what I purchased.

From BeautyBay.com, I got the Melt Cosmetics Eyeshadow Stack in Haze, ZOEVA Classic Brush Holder, RINCÓN Sugar Rush Palette and the BPERFECT Stacey Marie Carnival Palette. I already have three of the brush holders and I am also interested in getting another eyeshadow stack in the not so distant future. I originally saw this stack a month or so ago, but I was put off by the price, when I saw it discounted just after Christmas, I took advantage. The Rincon palette I believe is new and the colour story is right up my street. I first saw the carnival palette a few months ago and I was like, no, I don’t like colour. My tastes keep changing and I am now starting to get into colour eyeshadows. I have recently been wearing yellow, orange and different reds. I cannot wait to test out these beauties!

From FeelUnqiue.com, I got the Benefit Hello Happy Foundation in 01 Fair Cool, Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer in 01 Light, Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer and Urban Decay Urban Lashes in Hbic. I’ve previously had a sample of the foundation and it was ok. I have tried all of the other Boi-ing concealers apart from this one, so I am interested to see if it works. I used to use the primer years ago and thought I would try it again and believe it or not, this is my first pair of false eyelashes! I also received two free skincare samples with my order.

From CultBeauty.co.uk, I purchased the HUDA BEAUTY Topaz Obsessions Palette, HUDA BEAUTY Eyes Fender Blender Eyeshadow Applicator, Stila Bare with Flair Eyeshadow Duo in Kitten and the Lime Crime Venus XL II Palette. I also received two free samples with one of my orders.

I only got the one item from Boots and it was the DKNY Stories Eau De Parfum 30ml Set.

From Superdrug, I got the Revolution by Petra Palette and the Revolution X Soph Highlighter Palette.

From MAC, I got a Patrick Starrr Matte Lipstick in Spank Me Santa and a Girls Matte Lipstick in Smarticle. I received two free samples with my order.

I have got a lot of items to test before I do my next declutter! I also need to try not to spend any more money unless it is completely necessary. I will have a few posts up in the next few weeks based around some of the items I purchased.

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...

Swatches: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils

Milk (604) - cream, bold & opaque matte white Yoghurt (611) - frosty, light champagne copper These pencils are really creamy and the shade selection is brilliant. I chose two basic shades, one to be a light base and the other to be a highlight. They do crease and can become messy, as you have to sharpen them. Overall they are ok, but I wouldn’t re-purchase them! £5 | NYXcosmetics.co.uk What do you think of these shades? ♥ ♥ ♥

Perfume Power! - DKNY 'Be Delicious'

Photo:  FashionDayDreams.com My Mum went to a car boot sale and found this and bought it. My Mum didn’t like it so she gave it to my sister and then my sister gave it to me. The bottle is a sphere shape inspired by an apple. On the smaller sizes the cap is basic like on most perfumes and is made of silver reflective plastic. The bottle base is made of translucent bottle green glass. On the bigger sizes the cap doesn’t come off and it is the actual dispenser, so when you press it down the perfume sprays. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Grapefruit, Cucumber & Magnolia Middle Notes: Tuberose, Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Violet & Green Apple Base Notes: Sandalwood, Amber & Wood This perfume smells fruity, floral and fresh and the apple scent really stands out. It is also quite a strong scent, but it is not overpowering. I also think that it is quite universal as it is not sweet. Lastly because the scent is quite strong, it lasts quite a long time...
