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.

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
