Haul: CheapSmells + More!

Hello, yesterday I received the two perfumes I ordered from CheapSmells.com, one I have smelt before I love it and the other I bought to try.

I bought DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom (30ml) for £22.95. I actually bought this for my sister’s birthday last year and quite liked it myself, as we had tested it way before her birthday. At the time I was still in college and didn’t have a job so I couldn’t justify spending that money on myself, when I already had a lot of perfume, plus my sister got to have it as her ‘exclusive smell’ for the year, and now it’s MY turn! lol J

Lastly I got Aquolina Pink Sugar (30ml) for £13.95. I had heard all the hype about it on YouTube and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find it in the UK, but I happen to have found it whilst I was looking at other perfumes on CheapSmells, so I was happy! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew it would smell quite sweet. And I actually don’t like it. The bottle is very cute, but the scent makes me feel a little queasy. As you can imagine it smells very sweet, but is also smells quite vanilla, which I am not fond of. I will try and wear it and see how I feel, if my opinion hasn’t change I will give it to my mum or sister to try.
I also went shopping on Thursday to get some bits for my kitten Billy (18 weeks old, I bought him Tuesday), I won’t haul his stuff, but did I buy some items from Superdrug. Maybelline was on a 3 for 2 offer, so I went to see if there were any colour tattoos and if there was I would buy one and maybe try an eyeliner from them. So I ended up getting a Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in 05 Eternal Gold (45 Bold Gold), which cost £4.99 and two of their Master Drama Khol Liners in Ultra Violet and Ultra Black, which were £4.49 each, but I got one free because of the offer.­
I also forgot to mention something I bought in March. I got an Elle & Blair Glitzy-Glam customised brush holder (£12.62 + £11.08 P&P + £1.79 tax = £25.49). I chose the letter ‘R’, main colour Purple and secondary colour Lavender. It is really lovely, but I kind of regret it because it cost way too much for what it is, but like I said it is really lovely. I wasn’t expecting the tax at all, the company taxed the 79p and my bank charge you £1 per overseas transaction! I am actually looking into making my own because I have a small glass, with my face brushes in at the moment, so I want to customise it so it goes with my Glitzy-Glam one.

P.S. My next post will be a review! J

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
