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.

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Chaos & Freak

Chaos - bright cobalt blue with light pearl (matte) Freak - light yellow toned emerald green (shimmer)   These shades are beautiful and I just love these pencils at the moment. I might have to buy more shades, maybe a purple! The formula is so soft and creamy and the pigmentation is amazing!

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...
