Haul: Recent Purchases #5


I have been rather naughty lately and bought quite a few new cosmetics and I can’t wait to test them all out!

I got the most stuff from FeelUnqiue.com and the products are from a couple of separate orders. I got the Benefit Boiing Brightening Concealer in No 1, Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil in No 3 and a sample/mini of the brand new Benefit Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation in No 1. Also, because I bought two Benefit products on one of my orders, I got a free large Benefit Tote Bag. I also re-purchased a Rimmel Brow This Way in 004 Clear and got the new Urban Decay Beached Palette and a brush works Combination Tweezer Set. I am a Platinum Member on FeelUnique.com, so I get 10% off any product from my favourite brand. I chose Urban Decay as my favourite brand over a year ago, so I get 10% off anything I order from them.

I also made my first Superdrug.com order in a couple of years! I was interested in a couple of palettes and I actually got one of them for free because of a 3 for 2 offer they had on some cosmetics. The palettes I purchased are; Revolution X Soph Extra Spice Palette and two Revolution Pressed Glitter Palettes in Hot Pursuit and Abracadabra. They also included a free packet of The Gypsy Shrine All In One Face Jewels.

Lastly, because I bought the pressed glitter palettes, I decided I needed a good base for them to stick to so I went on CultBeauty.co.uk and purchased the Too Faced Glitter Glue. I was also shopping in Morrison’s for general household items and I walked pass the Rimmel cosmetic display and just decided to purchase the Rimmel Match Perfection Silky Loose Powder in 001 Transparent.

I actually purchased another eye primer and some liquid lipsticks a while ago, but I forgot to include them in the picture. I will eventually have a review on the liquid lipsticks anyway. I now have my eye on two palettes that will be released soon; Urban Decay Born to Run and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina. By the end of the year, I think I may need to do another declutter, although it will mostly consist of palettes!

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...
