50% Off ELF Haul

I picked up a lot in one of ELF's frequent 50% off sales and I thought I'd share what I got, I'll slowly be using and reviewing everything too. All prices given are full prices.

The box filled with ELF products


Face Products (All Studio Line) - Mineral Infused Face Primer £6, Tinted Moisturiser SPF15 Beige £3.50,  Blushes - £3.50 each, Candid Coral, Tickled Pink, Fuschia Fusion, High Definition Powder £6, Flawless Finish Foundation £6.50.

I have no idea whether the foundation will be the correct shade for my skintone, I ordered Caramel but on the bottom there is a little sticker saying Buff...and I found it very difficult choosing a shade in the first place from the website...


Another HD Powder £6, 3pc Eyelid Primer Set £3.50, 3pk Shine Eraser Set £3.50.

I have yet to use the Eyelid Primers, although already use ELF's Mineral Eyelid Primer and love it, the HD Powders are repurchases, and I've tried the Blotting Sheets and find that they're too small and I use about 10 of them after a few hours of moisturiser in a busy day.


Mineral Lipglosses, Night Owl, Sorority Girl, Daring £3 each (not in order), Studio Conditioning Lip Balms SPF15,  Mellow Melon, Romantic Rouge, Blissful Berry, £3.50 each, Mineral Lipstick, Barely Bitten £3.50.

I haven't tried any of the lip products yet, the shades of the lipglosses look very similar although I'll see if that's true when on the lips.


My beloved Nourishing Cuticle Pens, £1.50 each, Angled Contour Brush, Angled Foundation Brush, Angled Eyeliner Brush, £3.50 each.

I love the Nourishing Cuticle Pen, read about it here. The brushes I have yet to use!


Powder Brush, Fan Brush, £3.50 each.

Again I haven't used much of my order to be able to give you first impressions or full reviews on them, when I have done I will be putting up reviews!

I hope this maybe gives you some ideas of what to try when ordering from ELF as I think they have yet another 50% off sale on at the moment!

What Do You Think About Hauls?

Hi!

I hope everyone is well, and thank you so much for following me and reading my posts! I sincerely appreciate it very much :)

I was just wondering what everyone thought of hauls...I know that a lot of people seem to think that bloggers/beauty crazed women like myself are sharing them to show off, but I certainly don't think that's the case. Recently I've bought many beauty related products, (before the makeup ban and when I've finished a good few items - usually handcreams haha!) and was wondering if in future you would like to see these posts? I will definitely be reviewing everything I buy and own in my collection, sometimes even if I haven't bought it myself (a friend has or as a present etc) I like to review, so you'll find everything I've ever used will be reviewed on here at some point.

Please let me know what you think and if you would like to see such posts!

Thank you so much for reading :)

Mini Body Shop Haul :)

This was bought before the proper ban took place but arrived yesterday! Which is actually quite quick to be honest!

I bought the Oil Free Balancing Foundation SPF15 for £13 in shade 6, which I tried in the shop and I believe this may be a shade that actually matches my skin colour! *angels sing* However, I tried shade 5 too and I couldn't really pick out the direct difference between them so I chose shade 6, and we'll see how it goes... (and shade 5 came across slightly more difficult to blend, and a bit chalky...it was probably just the tester being ages old...)


I also bought the Tailored Cheek Tint for Spring in Hot Pink for £10, this looks very strange to me as it has a brush applicator, but I love the packaging designed by the London College of Fashion.


For buying 2 makeup products I got their new Carbon Eye Definer in Black worth £9!


Finally I bought Tea Tree Blotting Tissues for £4.50, I needed blotting paper/tissues of some sort because near the end of the day I tend to use my hands to clear the excess oil and then go to wash my face which isn't very nice, so I thought blotting tissues would be handy. These look great and the package is so small! 65 tissues will probably last me about 2 months if they're of a decent size! If I fall in love with them I'll buy a pack for every handbag I own! :)


I also purchased the Love Your Body Card, which is The Body Shop's Loyalty Card offering:

- 10% off all purchases for a year
- £5 reward on the 4th stamp
- £10 reward on the 8th stamp
- £5 present on your birthday
- Exclusive member discounts

And it cost me £5. I've had one before but in all honesty I think it made me make sure I bought things from the Body Shop even if I didn't really intend to...so I'm not sure about it, but I do like the discounts and rewards. To get a stamp though you have to spend a minimum of £10, it's not very difficult though, seeing as a blush costs £10 alone!

For spending over £25 I received this Vitamin E Hand and Nail Treatment worth £8!


I'm really very impressed with the Body Shop and the free items worth £17! I received the package after about 2 days of ordering I think, ( I can never tell because I order in the middle of the night!) so overall very happy :)

I will review these products as soon as I make sufficient use out of them, have you tried anything? Like/Love/Hate?

Thank you for reading! :)

E.l.f Cosmetics Haul!

Hi!

This is a long due post and I'm very excited to do it as a lot of these products I have fallen in love with completely. Reviews will most definitely follow soon.

All items came to a total of £30 which was the amount needed for free delivery! :)

These were £1.50 each, from left to right the shades are: Pink lemonade, Bark and Maple Sugar


E.l.f's infamous HD Powder! :) Finally I got hold of it after it being out of stock for so long, it was £6.


I got a mineral lipstick in Cheerful Cherry for £3.50 and their mineral eyeshadow primer for £3


This tinted moisturizer only cost £1.50! :D I chose the shade honey which appears a lot darker in the picture unfortunately but I haven't experimented yet so will let you know more in the upcoming review :)


A studio complexion brush to go with the HD powder...£3.50



My favourite blush of the moment...only £3.50! In mellow mauve


Another miracle product for only £1.50, their liquid eyeliner which I'm pretty sure is exactly the same as any high-end brands'...


Lipstick for £1.50 each in the shades Gypsy and Voodoo

That's all from E.L.F Cosmetics that I ordered, there's still quite a few items I have yet to play around with but II will be reviewing them all very soon :)

Thank you for reading!

A HUGE HAUL

Hi everyone! :)

Today I'm going to broadcast everything I've bought that's beauty or makeup related thanks to encouragement from my lovely friend @paige_borda!

Please note, I have bought a lot of items and all that I've bought will be the majority of my makeup collection - as I didn't own very much, and I don't intend to buy anything more (apart from a few lipliners/lipsticks, lip brush, liquid eyeliner and blush!) Then I won't be buying more products until these finish because I already feel I've spent way too much!

I hope you enjoy viewing my blog-haul and I will try and provide as much detail as I can for each item, and hopefully in the near future I will review most if not all of these items for you :)


Urban Decay's original primer potions :)

The palette I have lusted for for way too long!

A very cheap body lotion from Boots, works perfectly though :)
Bobbi Brown's Longwear Gel Eyeliner in Ivy Shimmer Ink - a very beautiful colour that you can just about see in the picture, and I cannot wait to use this! It has tiny bits of shimmer in it too, which make it so pretty!

Bobbi Brown's Metallic Longwear Cream Shadow in Antique Gold - this looks very pretty in real life and I don't think I'd use other shadows with it, a very simple evening look can be done with this I think, layer this on, add eyeliner of choice, brown would probably go best and you're good to go!

Another Bobbi Brown item! It's her creamy lipstick in Rose Brown - I think a very pretty nude colour, that could be worn both day and night

Bobbi Brown's Metallic Longwear Cream Shadow in Chrome Patina - again for evening wear I think, but you could use lots of complementing colours with this bright bold silver and create a gorgeous look!
Bobbi's famous award-winning eyeliner in Black ink!
Mac's Liquid Eyeliner in Boot Black
My gorgeous brushes! By MAC obviously! From top to bottom - 217, 239, 219, 266, 242, 116
17 Cosmetics single eyeshadows, all very pretty colours I picked up quite randomly at Boots!
A slightly used 17 eye trio! Very wearable colours, day and night, brilliant combination and I wear them very often!
17's starry eyes trios especially for the holidays! :D
Lancome's quad of eyeshadows, I bought this because I don't have any smoky eye colours and want to practice and maybe do a smokey eye seeing as I am a moody teenager and all that ;)
These are Lancome's Juicy Tubes! In minature, I bought these in a gift set, they all look great :)
This bunch of items are again all from Lancome, I bought them in part of gift sets too, mini makeup-removers and khol pencils and their Hypnose Mascaras!
I got these as part of the larger set I bought, so an eyelash curler and 2 of Lancome's skincare products
I recieved a free cleanser and I bought the makeup remover within the set :D
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark
I'm sorry for the lack of detail in this, I bought lots of things and I forget prices and the sets that they were in! If you do want to ask something in particular please leave a comment below and I will get back to you with the correct answer, probably from a reciept somewhere!

Thank you for viewing my haul and sorry for the 2 used brushes and my eyeshadow trio I also used!

Please leave a comment below if you are already the owner of one of these items and let me know how they treat you!
