FeelUnique.com Haul #2

I was browsing the beauty tag on Instagram and came across a post about the e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette. The majority of the comments on the post were very complimentary towards the palette. I decided to purchase it and see for myself. I also haven’t tried any e.l.f products for the longest time. I decided to purchase it off FeelUnique.com, so I could pick up some other items I wanted. It is easier to get it all from one place and I also used some gift vouchers I had towards the cost of my haul.

When my order arrived, the e.l.f palette was damaged and the delivery box looked like it had been through a lot (ripped, bent and beat up). Some of the eyeshadows were just smashed to smithereens! It was completely unusable and messy. FeelUnique sent me a replacement, which arrived better packaged and in perfect condition.
Obviously, the first item I put in my bag was the e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette Earth & Ocean Palette (£14.00). I then decided to pick-up back-ups of my brow gel products. I got the Rimmel Wonder’Full 24Hour Brow Mascara in Light (£7.99) and the Rimmel Brow This Way Gel in Clear (£4.49). I have also been interested in trying the new Barry M Hi Vis eyeliners and I ended up purchasing all of the pencil ones! So, I got all six Barry M Hi Vis Bold Eyeliners in Caution, Dangerous, Glow Stick, False Alarm, Riot & Strobe Light (£3.99 each). I also wanted the Hi Vis cake eyeliner pots, but they were not available on the FU website at the time I made my purchase. The last item I purchased was the EYLURE Taking Shape Brow Stencils (£5.00). I have been tinting my eyebrows recently, so I thought it was time I tried to shape them myself. I haven’t been tweezing them either recently as I am not sure which shape to tweeze to and I thought the stencils might help. Lastly, I received two free perfume samples; MUGLER Angel Nova Eau de Parfum (1.2ml) and GIVENCHY Irresistible Eau de Parfum (1ml).

I will post reviews/swatches for the e.l.f palette and Barry M eyeliners very soon, once I’ve had chance to try them out (also Serial Sampler posts for the perfumes). I really now need to curb my spending. The only other product I am really allowing myself to purchase at the moment is the BPERFECT Cosmetics X Stacey Marie Carnival III: Love Tahiti Palette, when it is eventually stocked on BeautyBay.com (I like collecting TRIBE points).

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. ·          Marketed as an adult’s fragrance. ·          Diamonds by Next is a confirmed dupe of this perfume, but the bottle is completely different.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Urban Decay Super Saturated High-Gloss Lip Color

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes eyeliner. I am going to review the product as a whole, even though I only have it in the one shade. This product is a jumbo/chubby lip pencil with a black plastic lid. It is just like the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners, but bigger. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Theodora is a bright, creamy, glossy cherry red shade and is Limited Edition, but it is part of the regular line and is instead called F-Bomb . You get 2.8g of product and it is full size. You also have to sharpen it to dispense more product. The formula is smooth, creamy, glossy and slightly tacky, but not sticky. This product is supposed to give your lips an opaque, saturated and pigment rich colour with a glossy finish. It is also mean’t to be quite creamy so that it glides onto your lips. The product is also said to contain plant derived ingredients, whi
