Serial Shopper! - Haul :)

HELLO AGAIN, I am going to haul a lot of products which I have purchased recently or a while ago. Most of the products have not been mentioned by me before, which is why I am hauling them, plus hauling is an easy blog post and it seems to be what I am most good at, buying & hauling! I have probably bought more products than I am hauling, but these products are either recent or I remember them from not so long ago. The items were bought at various different times from various different places, so I am just going to split them up into categories to make it easy.

Look What Arrived!

Look what I found at my door this morning! My MIA e.l.f nail polish in Dark Glitter Purple! It arrived in the same size box as my other products arrived in together, a bit of a waste I thought? Anyway I am disappointed in this colour and I will tell you why. It didn’t come in a product box this time (no waste), it was just wrapped in a plastic film, so you can tell if it has been opened or not, which is great! It also had a sticker on it saying, ‘Brand New Formula’, overall it looks like any other £1.50 e.l.f nail polish, but the colour is way off! When I first saw it on their website it was a NEW colour and I was looking for a full glitter purple nail polish, like the Red Glitter by Barry M I have. The swatch on their website showed a full purple glitter colour, but when I received it this morning, let’s just say, it is not what I wanted! L This is what I was led to believe it looked like, This is what it really looks like, - Sorry about the state of my nail, I

I've Mist You Madly Girligo!

Today I am going to talk about the two body sprays/mists I have from Soap & Glory. I believe there are three in total (Mist You Madly, Girligo & Glam-A-Lot). All the products from Soap & Glory have a signature scent and I believe there are three scent lines at the moment, Mist You Madly, Original Pink & Fruitigo. If you want to try all three body sprays/mists you could get the Soap & Glory Scent-Sationalism Gift Set for £8.50, which includes all three in 100ml. MIST YOU MADLY This is the most popular scent from Soap & Glory and is described as, “ featuring notes of bergamot, blackcurrant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk. Application of this mist may bestow the wearer with a newfound and haughty kind of self-confidence, triggering uncontainable fits of flirtatiousness. Mist at your own risk.” To me it smells really fresh and girly and you get the slight musky scent too and it is not overpowering. I have it in both sizes and the bottle is a slight

Glossybox #4 - March 2012

The March Glossybox is also a Limited Edition one in a sleek white box. When I heard it would be a Harrods mystery box, I was expecting some different more luxury products than I have received before. I just find it funny that nearly every month I’ve been subscribed it is always a Limited Edition box, I’m not complaining though, the boxes come in different pretty colours. On the whole this box DISSAPOINTED me! Here is what I got. 1.      Versace Vanita’s Perfume (4.5ml Sample Size) It smells quite nice and you can definitely smell the soft flowery notes and a spicy hint of lime. It is described as “A luxurious scent of rich and voluptuous fragrance with notes of tiare flower, lime and freesia”. 2.      bliss Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter (50ml Size) I don’t really like the scent of orange but blood orange is quite different and actually pleasant, especially mixed with white pepper. It is described as being “deeply moisturising, skin softening, naturall
