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.

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
