Haul: Recent Purchases #7

I have purchased a hell of a lot of beauty related items between Christmas, New Year and beyond, I have completely gone mental!!! I can’t quite believe how much I have purchased or spent. I got discounts off the majority of the items, but it is still a lot to process. I thought I may as well share with you what I purchased.

From BeautyBay.com, I got the Melt Cosmetics Eyeshadow Stack in Haze, ZOEVA Classic Brush Holder, RINCÓN Sugar Rush Palette and the BPERFECT Stacey Marie Carnival Palette. I already have three of the brush holders and I am also interested in getting another eyeshadow stack in the not so distant future. I originally saw this stack a month or so ago, but I was put off by the price, when I saw it discounted just after Christmas, I took advantage. The Rincon palette I believe is new and the colour story is right up my street. I first saw the carnival palette a few months ago and I was like, no, I don’t like colour. My tastes keep changing and I am now starting to get into colour eyeshadows. I have recently been wearing yellow, orange and different reds. I cannot wait to test out these beauties!

From FeelUnqiue.com, I got the Benefit Hello Happy Foundation in 01 Fair Cool, Benefit Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer in 01 Light, Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer and Urban Decay Urban Lashes in Hbic. I’ve previously had a sample of the foundation and it was ok. I have tried all of the other Boi-ing concealers apart from this one, so I am interested to see if it works. I used to use the primer years ago and thought I would try it again and believe it or not, this is my first pair of false eyelashes! I also received two free skincare samples with my order.

From CultBeauty.co.uk, I purchased the HUDA BEAUTY Topaz Obsessions Palette, HUDA BEAUTY Eyes Fender Blender Eyeshadow Applicator, Stila Bare with Flair Eyeshadow Duo in Kitten and the Lime Crime Venus XL II Palette. I also received two free samples with one of my orders.

I only got the one item from Boots and it was the DKNY Stories Eau De Parfum 30ml Set.

From Superdrug, I got the Revolution by Petra Palette and the Revolution X Soph Highlighter Palette.

From MAC, I got a Patrick Starrr Matte Lipstick in Spank Me Santa and a Girls Matte Lipstick in Smarticle. I received two free samples with my order.

I have got a lot of items to test before I do my next declutter! I also need to try not to spend any more money unless it is completely necessary. I will have a few posts up in the next few weeks based around some of the items I purchased.

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...
