Haul: Recent Purchases #8

I recently bought some cosmetic products and I thought I would share them with you. It is mostly skincare and there is not one make-up product, which is a shock to me! I haven’t really bought any make-up recently; I am almost getting withdrawals (joke), but my bank account isn’t mad with me!

From FeelUnique.com, I purchased the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser Renew Super Serum for £24.99, Garnier Moisture Bomb Super-Hydrating 3 in 1 Moisturiser SPF10 for £7.99, Garnier Moisture Bomb Super-Recharging Gel-Cream Night for £7.99 and because there was a 3 for 2 offer on Garnier products, I also got a Garnier Moisture Bomb Deep Sea Water & Hyaluronic Acid Night-Time Eye Tissue Mask for FREE (RRP £2.99). I also received a FREE perfume sample as I spent over a certain amount of money on my order. I just wanted to test out some new skincare and try a new serum. I currently use Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and I have almost finished it. I’m not really sure it did anything special to my skin and it is extremely expensive and can’t justify re-purchasing it at this moment in time.

From LookFantastic.com, I got a L’Oréal Paris Colorista Permanent Gel Hair Dye in Copper for £5.99 and an Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Nighttime Rescue Lip Oil-Serum for £25.00. I have been dyeing my hair an auburn/ginger colour for a while now and I still haven’t found the perfect shade, so I saw that the L’Oréal one was quite bright and thought I would give it ago. I wanted to try the lip oil to see if it would do anything special. I am currently using the Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir and it doesn’t really do anything different to a regular lip balm.

From AllBeauty.com, I bought Skin Doctors Hair No More Inhibitor Spray for £9.95 (RRP £10.99) and another bottle of the Christina Aguilera Eau De Parfum in 30ml for £10.95 (RRP £20.00). I used up my last bottle of this perfume many years ago and decided on a whim to buy it again. I was just interested in trying the no more hair spray to see if it will actually work in any way, shape or form.

From BeautyBay.com, I purchased two ZOEVA 238 Precise Shader Brushes for £10.00 each and NUTHING Shimmer Hair Removal Wax in Blue (Passionfruit & Blueberry) for £12.95. I already own a couple of the brushes, but wanted more of them and I just wanted to try the wax.

I can’t wait to start using the items I have purchased, although I didn't realise the serum was targeted for people aged forty plus (I'm only in my mid twenties!). There are some new make-up products being released soon. I am very interested in getting the Natasha Denona Bronze Palette, if I do decide to get the palette I will post a review.

O.P.I Breakfast at Tiffany's Mini Mani Month Set

I heard that O.P.I would be releasing a Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection and I was really interesting in trying some shades, so when I was browsing the O.P.I website and came across this set, I snapped it up straight away! The packaging is like a white and lilac fashion book and it has a beauty advent calendar vibe. It is a sort of alternative to a beauty calendar. There are five rows with five shades covering two sides of the book. You can open the windows that cover the shades, but it will reveal all five shades, which is why it doesn’t quite pass as a calendar. Plus, you can’t actually take the bottles out like you would a beauty/chocolate calendar. You have to open the sides of the book and pull out the five separate plastic trays which hold the bottles. There seems to be a lot of wasted packaging this way. You get twenty-five 3.75ml bottles of Nail Lacquer and the set contains new shades from the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Collection, and some old favourites already pa...

GUCCI Mini Perfume Gift Set

Today I am going to review a perfume gift set that I bought from Boots.com during their Boxing Day sales 2014. It is the GUCCI Miniatures Gift Set and it was exclusively sold in Boots stores and on Boots.com. I love the concept of mini perfume sets and it’s a shame that not more brands do them! You get to sample more scents from brands, and if there is a certain perfume you are interested in, you would be able to sample it before potentially wasting your money buying a full size bottle of a scent you might not like. In this particular set you get five (5ml) mini fragrances to sample and I actually already bought a full size of the Guilty scent, but waited until I got this set to test it! A big gamble I know, but it did pay off this time! Here are the five miniature bottles of scents included:- FLORA BY GUCCI The bottle is so cute and with a little ribbon bow too. The notes contained in this little bottle are; citrus, peony, mandarin, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood, patchouli and ...

Serial Sampler #33

I once sent off for a perfume sample from Lancôme on Facebook and periodically they still send me samples of their new perfume releases. I received this one a while ago (ages after it first launched), but I have only just got around to testing it.   It is Idôle by Lancôme and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   Launched: 2019   Type: Floral Notes Top: Pear and Bergamot. Middle: Turkish Rose, Rose de Mai and Indian Jasmine. Base: White Musk and Vanilla. It is a really light spring time floral scent. It isn’t too mature smelling and it is not overpowering. It reminds me of the Gucci Flora and Hugo Boss Ma Vie perfumes a little. I can really smell the Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine and Musk notes. It is a fresh floral scent and would be good for day time wear. I do really like it, although it isn’t my typical choice of scent. I personally won’t be buying a bottle of it, but I would recommend it and buy it for someone as a gift.   You can purchase the L...
