e.l.f Haul #8

As you may or may not know, e.l.f stopped stocking their products in the UK some time ago and their website had a big sell off and closed down. But, it didn’t last long and I found out that you could order again via their website. I didn’t go crazy because there wasn’t really anything new and I don’t really have the excitement about the brand anymore. I bought a couple of necessities and a new product for me to finally try.

I decided to get a Large Makeup Holder, so I could decorate it and use it to store my make-up brushes. I am thinking of spray painting it brown. I also got a back-up Blending Eye Brush. This is my favourite e.l.f brush and is perfect for applying colour to your crease. I got two more pairs of Slant Tweezers and lastly I decided I wanted to try the 3-in-1 Mascara because I have heard good things about it and before e.l.f stopped stocking in the UK, I would go to buy it but it was always sold out and then they didn’t stock it anymore for some unknown reason!

I’m glad I will finally get the chance to try the mascara and I am excited to DIY my make-up holder. I also have a little warning about purchasing from the e.l.f UK website. They are selling to the UK, but are actually shipping from the USA. I didn’t realise until after I made my order. The shipping cost is surprisingly still £2.95 or free if you spend more than £25.00 and you shouldn’t get charged custom fees (I didn’t anyway). The only downside is that it will take a little longer for your order to arrive, but I can live with that seeing as though the shipping fees are cheap, also considering it is flying from the USA.

Any suggestions for other products to try?

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...
