Zoella Beauty Haul

Hello Everybody!

I got a wonderful parcel direct from the UK today! It was FULL of Zoella Beauty Products!


So, granted this isn't everything in her collection, I couldn't get the body mist or candle since they were out of stock :(

But I did get:
  • the cosmetic bags
  • the soak opera shower cream and bath soak
  • the creamy, madly, dreamy body lotion
  • and the fizz bar


Here's my review of the Zoella Beauty Products

I love the cosmetic bags, they are so useful, I keep loads of things in them, I have all my little fragrances in the pink one and I'm keeping the fizz bar and few other misc things in the tiffany blue one ;)

I absolutely love the smell of these products, its all very fresh and light and bright. I cant pin point exactly what the top notes are, I just know I LOVE them. 

The soak opera leaves you feeling fresh and clean out of the shower, and finishing off the creamy, madly, dreamy makes your skin even softer.

I haven't used the fizz bar, since I live in a dorm, I dont exactly have a bath to use :/ ah well.

If you like anything out this haul you can purchase them at feelunique.com I will put the link below :)

Much love & Glitter

Collective Haul

Hello Everybody!

So I know I had said that I would post this last week but I never got the chance! So I have a triple haul for you. I have some homewares, some beauty related items, and some of my favourites, LUSH items (yay!).

So I think I'd like to start with ,my homewares. I went to Sur La Table with my Mum because she wanted some new placemats and napkins, she was growing tired of the ones we have. But, while wandering about I found a few things of my own, and before I new it I was at the register paying for it all. 
So the first thing I bought was this super cute porcelain kitchen utensil container (holder, pot, jar?). I don't really know why I decided to buy it since I won't be living on my own anytime soon.... But it was just so cute. I thought in the mean time I can use it as a vase, or like to hold my hair brushes, and such.



I also bought four egg cups. I bought two with red and two with blue. And now I'm wondering if I should've gotten them all in red or all in blue.... Hmmmmm. Oh we'll they're super cute and I love toast and dippy egg and I was definitely looking for some new egg cups :)



I also found this really cute new coffee or tea or cocoa mug that I just thought was adorable. Besides, you can never have too many mugs.


On to the beauty department!
I went to the body shop and purchased their cleansing balm. I had used a friend's and fell in LOVE with it! I can't believe I had never bought or used it before!!! It smells so nice and it just works so well.



I also bought two born lippys in watermelon, and strawberry. These. Smell. So. Good. I just want to eat them. The watermelon, which is the one on the top, smells just like watermelon jolly ranchers. And the strawberry smells just like the hard boiled jam filled strawberry sweets I used to get when I was little. Absolutely obsessed with these. The strawberry give a really nice light pink tint to your lips with the watermelon goes on sheer. 



My favourite bit!! LUSH.

So I was pretty much empty on my stash, and decided to do a bit of restocking of some basics. 
I got three bath bombs, the Dragon's Egg, Blackberry, and Ickle Baby Bot. They all smell so lovely and nice.



I also got two limited edition bubble bars. 
I purchased the Wonder Woman bubble bar, with their new and improved glitter, that is biodegradable and seaweed based so it no longer kills fish. :) I also got the rose bubble bar that I can't remember the name of now and that really bugs me, but it smells like you've walked straight into a rose garden. It's so nice. 



Well I'm off! So I will see you all very soon!
Mwah!

Beauty Haul

Hello everybody!

So over the weekend I made a little trip to a little shop known as Sephora... I went with the remainder of my Christmas money in, hand and let's just say I don't have that money anymore. I also received a target gift card, for a lovely 60$ (thanks uncle robert and aunt leslyn!) and that also went to some cosmetic purchases...

The first two items from Sephora are the boi-ing concealer from benefit, and the bobbi brown tone corrector. 
The concealer covers everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. It's advertised as an industrial strength concealer. And it's fantastic and doesn't crease, provides great coverage and I definitely recommend this product. 
The tone corrector from bobbi brown, is perfect for covering up dark spots, skins discolorations, bruises, etc. It is magic in a pot. I bought it primarily because I have dark skin discolorations below my temples and just plain concealer wasn't doing the trick. So I swapped to a combination of the time corrector then covered by concealer, and you would never know I had skin discolorations. I highly, highly recommend these products. 


Then next things I picked up were some nail polishes/paints/lacquers/varnishes! 
I bought the essie nail paints from target and I just love them, and think that they're perfect for autumn/winter. The darker shade (carry on) I will primarily wear in autumn/winter while the lighter one (sand tropez) can be worn all year round since it a lovely beige shade. 
The middle shade I am currently sporting on my nails I bought at sephora and it is gorgeous! It's their Formula X line of nail paints and I think it's called perfection(?) not totally sure. But it looks fantastic for autumn and winter. I am so in love all three shades!

These are the last three things I got from sephora. 
I bought the Naked Skin liquid foundation by Urban Decay in shade 4.0, and it is brilliant, it's light and it barely feels like you're wearing foundation made of clouds. 
I also bought a NARS blusher in the shade Gaiety, and it's just so pretty! It's gives you this slightly 'I've been out in the cold' rosiness that just look gorgeous, it's a really nice matte blusher. 
And I also got a small pot of rose radiance by bare minerals which came in a set my Mum bought and she gave it to me, because she already has a bigger version. It's a beautiful mineral blusher with gold flecks in, that just gives you a warm glow. Perfect for winter or all year round if you fancy.


Here are the two pieces of eye makeup that I purchased at Target, mascara and a new eye pencil. 
I bought the falsies volume express mascara by maybelline which I haven't tried yet but I've been wanting too for quite some time now. A lot of people swear by it so I hope it lives up to it's reputation! 
The eye pencil I bought is a pixi endlessly silky eye pencil in black cocoa, and I kid you not, it is THE best eye liner I have ever used. I only ever used to use the 24/7 glide on eye pencil by urban decay, I used to swear by it. But no longer! The pixi endlessly silky eye pencil is even better (I didn't even know that was possible) and a nice little bonus is that it's only 12$. So go and buy yourself a nice new eye pencil!

And last but certainly not least my lip products! 
The first is a Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in shade 477 Black Cherry, and it's a gorgeous dark plum colour optimal for autumn/winter, but an also be worn all year round. I wore it today and got many a compliment. :) 
The next is a Revlon lip butter, I got a new one! This one is shade 027 Juicy Papaya and it's a really nice peachy color. It's perfect for spring and summer or if you want to bring a little pop of color to your winter makeup/apparel. I love the lip butters, because they're a perfect cross between a tinted balm and a lipstick, ultra moisturizing, with lots of pigment. They are amazing. 
And lastly a maybelline baby lips, lip balm in quenched SPF 20. It's just a nice clear balm to wear underneath my lipsticks and I know so many people who raved about and love these balms, but after using it all week, I'm honestly a little underwhelmed. :/ Don't get me wrong it's great and it does feel ultra sleek and smooth when it goes on, and its quite moisturizing  which is super lovely. But I think it was a bit too hyped up.

I will leave links below to where you can purchase everything I have mentioned above. I hope you have enjoyed, and found something new to try!

Much love & Glitter

My Top Ten Favourite Lip Products

Hey there Glitterbugs!

I went through a bunch of my lip products and plucked out my top ten favourites, and thought I would share. And these are by no means in any specific order. And I hope that you all enjoy and find something new!

I have also uploaded a video for this post on my YouTube channel which you can get to in the links box in the sidebar. :)



The first product (these are going from right to left) is the fresh SUGAR lip treatment that is just plain clear, it has SPF 15 which is quite nice and keeps your lips soft and supple. 
Can be purchased at Sephora for $22.50.

The second is the Cover Girl Natureluxe Gloss Balm in shade 230 which is Coral. It's really nice tinted lip balm that has mango butter in it, and it is fantastic. By the way that's my second one :) This can be purchased at most drug stores for about $7.59

The third is the Revlon Lip Butter in shade 015 Tutti Fruitti this moisturizes like a lip balm but applies color like a lipstick. It comes in a multitude of clours and is quite nice. This can also be purchased at most drug stores for $6.49.

The fourth is No.7 Poppy King in Number Three Glamour it's a quite lovely neutral pink cream lipstick. It's great for all year round and goes with almost everything. This can be purchased at Target for $9.99 and at Boots for I'm not sure how much because I live in America...

The fifth is a Sephora brand lipstick in Sexy Game, it's perfect for autumn/winter (although I wear it all the time) and is a lovely berry shade. And this can be purchased at Sephora for $12.50.

The sixth is an Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Color in Fbomb it's a bright orangey red that looks quite like a candy apple. Great for really all the time, or maybe just special occasion ;) It can be purchased at Sephora for $19.00

The seventh and eighth are Stila Lip Glaze Sticks in shades Fruit punch and Peach. These are really nice lip glosses, although the lip glaze sticks can be quite sticky and tacky, so be careful! They can be purchased at Urban Outfitters in a 5 pack for $18.00 and I can't find these at Sephora or Ulta...hmmmm I did buy these quite a long time ago *cough two years cough cough*

The ninth is a Buxom Lips plumping gloss in Bambi, which unfortunately they don't make anymore :(. BUT! A similar shade that you can get is the Buxom Full-Bodied Lip Gloss in YOW for $19.00 from Sephora. It's a really pretty pearlescent pink, with plumping qualities.

And the last is a Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Mulberry. It looks quite dark but goes on much lighter and it's really nice for autumn/winter and spring as well. But I mean you could definitely wear it year round. And it can be purchased from lauramervier.com for $20.00

(Me wearing Sexy Game it's my current go-to lipstick. What sort of face am I making?) 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!
Cheers!
Much love & Glitter

PS. Happy New Year!
