DAY 3: BH COSMETICS HAUL

Well hello there!

For day 3 of Blogmas I thought I would share with you a mini haul I ordered on Beauty Bay! I promise my posts will start to get more Christmasy after today I just love doing hauls for you all. I haven't got many BH Cosmetics products in my collection so I'm interested to try these out.

Shaaanxo The Remix Palette

I have been wanting to test this out for the longest time but just never got round to purchasing it. When Beauty Bay had their sale on I could not resist as it is originally £18 but went down to £10.80 what an absolute bargain! I really have not seen anyone review or talk about this so I am very excited to try it out for myself. I love the concept of it as there is 2 palettes in 1, both of which have mirrors which I think is amazing and obviously I love the packaging because it's pink. You get 18 eyeshadows and the pan sizes are very decent, I think even for £18 that is such a good price considering it's a collaboration with Shan xo (YouTuber).

Brilliance Bronzer

Yep so I got another bronzer and this is so I can find more drugstore ones as my favourite bronzers are high end. I did buy the medium shade but that is because I looked at the shades online and the lightest shade looked too light and won't bronze me up as much. This one looks perfect for pale skin, as I did swatch it just to see the shade. This has got a satin finish, I haven't tried it yet so not sure what it will look like but I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like.  I love the white and gold packaging and it comes with a mirror to which is very handy for on the go. This is a super cheap bronzer retailing at £7.75 and I got it for only £3.87 in the sale!

Vegan V5 Blending Brush

I have a lot of makeup brushes in my collection but I need a couple more blending brushes, this went down to £2.06 in the sale so again I could not resist. The brush feels so soft and I love the handle it feels like a high end brush when I literally only paid £2 for it! It has had a lot of great reviews on the website so I'm excited to give this a try myself!

So that is all of the BH Cosmetics products I got!

BEAUTY BAY SALE HAUL

Well hello there!

Today I have got a mini haul for you which I haven't done one of these on my blog for a while now. At the moment Beauty Bay are having huge sales on so I would go over and check out their website for amazing discounts!

Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick 

Jeffree has just launched his 2018 Holiday collection and of course I had to get one thing. This wasn't part of the sale but thought I would include it. I got a liquid lipstick that is in the shade Jeffree Who? It is described as a warm rose shade. I absolutely loved last years packaging and he has stepped it up again with the white lid and it has fine pretty glitter particles all over the tube. I have so many of his nude lipsticks so I thought I would branch out and get a pink shade, I have worn this a couple of times and I love the colour it is perfect for this time of year. They are expensive at £16 but as I have said before I can promise you the formula is totally worth the price tag.

Ofra Highlighter

I have been wanting to get an Ofra Highlighter for the longest time and when I saw that this was only £17.49 in the sale I could not resist! I have heard so many people talk about these highlighters and this shade is perfect for a pale complexion. This is of course one of the Nikkie Tutorial collabs so definitely check it out if you love her on YouTube! I have not tried this out yet but I am so excited to! I really like the new Ofra packaging as well as it makes it look more high end. I have seen so many people use this in the YouTube videos and all I have heard is great things. They are super expensive even in the sale but I am hoping that it is worth it. The website says 'A frosty pearlescent white highlighter for fair to light skin tones.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer

So I am always on the look out for new drugstore bronzers and this one is so cheap at £4.50, and in the sale it went down to £3.38! I picked up the medium shade because the lightest one looked too pale to be a bronzer. Good thing I did because the medium shade looks like the perfect shade for pale skin tones. It does have a slight shimmer to it but I am hoping that it will look glowy rather than glittery. The pan size is huge so this will last you a very long time! It also contains SPF 15 which is good to know and Wet n Wild are  cruelty free drugstore brand. I have tried this out yet but I will this week and let you know!

Dolly Beauty Lashes

I have wanted to try Doll Beauty lashes for the longest time but just never got round to purchasing any. However when Beauty Bay announced the sale, I had a look to see how much they would be. They had gone down to £6.99 so again I could not resist that price and so I bought a pair. I got the style 'Kimberley' as they aren't a big lash but they're beautiful and wispy, and I thought that it would suit me more. They look beautiful in real life and I cannot wait to try these. On the website it says 'A pair of wispy false eyelashes. Perfect for natural day looks, Kimberley lashes are delicately handmade with 100% mink hair. Comfortable and lightweight, the fine, delicate hairs add subtle volume and length to natural lashes'.

So that is everything I got on the Beauty Bay website! Definitely head over there to see if the sale is still on because they're are some really good ones.

I HEART REVOLUTION HAUL & FREE PALETTE?!

Well hello there!

Today I have another drugstore haul for you, I have got to stop buying makeup now I honestly have no more room in my storage which is so bad. I Heart Revolution recently come out with some new exciting products so I have to share them with you!

Choc Mint Mini Eyeshadow Palette

I have more than enough eyeshadow palettes in my collection so I didn't need anymore, but for some reason I don't actually own any of the I Heart Revolution Eyeshadow Palettes. They have recently come out with 4 mini palettes, which is so ideal for travelling. I picked this one up because the colour scheme is much different from my other palettes. I love that it has neutrals with a pop of green. These mini eyeshadow palettes only cost £6 which is such a bargain, plus it comes with a mirror!

Multi Eyeliner - Brights

These eyeliner pens are so so cool they look exactly like those pens you used to use when you were younger, so I was automatically drawn to this. I got this brights pen because I have no coloured eyeliners in my collection, it has a a blue, purple, teal and silver. I am excited to experiment with different coloured eyeliner as I never have before. These pens cost £5 for 4 eyeliners which is amazing and these are so good for travelling.

Multi Liner

I got another one of the multi liners and this one has 3 eyeliners: a black, brown and a nude, and a nude lip liner. I will definitely be taking this one travelling because it covers any liner you may need. Again it only costs £5, I haven't tested these out yet but I am looking forward to. 

Dragon's Dare Lipstick - Flame

I do not have many reds in my collection as I don't really wear reds unless I am in the mood to. I saw their new lipstick collections and they look stunning so I decided to pick one up. They smell like strawberry sweets so I love it already, but also the detail of the dragon scales on the bullet looks very impressive. It has quite a dip on the top which I have never seen before on a lipstick, and these cost £4. 

Revolution The 1,000,000 Palette

This is a limited edition palette and actually came free when you spent over £15 on the Revolution Beauty website.  They did this because they reached 1,000,000 followers on their Instagram page which is exciting. I don't actually think you can get this anymore so I am sorry for mentioning it but I did get it free with this order. It is a really sleek palette, much different to their other ones. It comes with 8 shades and a mirror.

So that was my mini haul!

DRUGSTORE MAKEUP HAUL

Well hello there!

So I have a shopping addiction, especially when it comes to makeup so I have another haul to share with you, it is a mix of different brands.

Revolution Pro Mischief Mattes Palette

If you don't know Makeup Revolution are getting rid of their 'Freedom' brand and replacing it with a brand new one 'Revolution Pro'. They have recently released tonnes of new products so I decided to buy a couple. I first got this mischief mattes eyeshadow palette which absolutely stunning, I don't have a palette like this in my collection which is why I wanted to pick it up. It is only £8! and it has 18 shades I can't believe that. I am now hoping now I have this palette I can experiment with my makeup looks a bit more.

Revolution Pro Supreme Highlighter - Ice

Obviously I had to pick up a new highlighter - I wouldn't be me if I didn't! This palette has 3 shades: a blue, champagne and a pink, I have tried this palette (in a YouTube video - I will link my channel below) and I can confirm these highlighters are blinding. They are a tad crumbly but that does not bother me when they are this pigmented, and this cost £6.

L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara

I have already tried this mascara and loved it, hence why I have picked another one up. It is really good for separating and curling you lashes. The wand on this mascara is very unique and it makes it much easier to grab the root of your lashes and coat them properly. It is super cheap as it is only £7.99 so it is really good quality for the money.    

Rimmel Kate Moss Sculpting Palette

I bought this on a whim because it was 3 for 2 in Superdrug, but I am glad I picked it up as it is another drugstore palette that I am yet to try. Kind of regretting picking this up in the shade I did because I did not realise there were shades in the first place. The shades do look a little too dark for me which is such a shame but I will try and make this work! This palette costs £6.99 for the 3 shades and it is very travel friendly.

L.A. Girl Matte Foundation
I heard of everyone raving about this on YouTube and how good of coverage it has, so I thought it I would give it a go. I have actually done a YouTube video testing this which went up on Sunday so you can watch it here. L.A. Girl is an American drugstore brand so this only costs £10 which is so good, and I can confirm that this is a good foundation so if you have oily skin especially you will love this! 

Jordana 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer

This is a drugstore brand that I have never heard of before, not sure if its a UK brand or not. There wasn't many products of theirs on Beauty Bay but from what there was they were all so so cheap, and I saw this and thought it sounded good. It is a 2 in 1 foundation and concealer, so I was hoping it would have really good coverage. It only costs £5! I am looking forward to trying this.

Rimmel Natural Bronzer

Lastly, I picked up another Natural Bronzer by Rimmel because this is my favourite drugstore bronzer and so I keep repurchasing it. I have loved this since I first started wearing makeup and I will continue buying it in the future, it's such a good cheap bronzer. It is warm toned but not too much where my face looks orange, and it is very pigmented!

So that was my latest drugstore haul!

MAKEUP REVOLUTION HAUL

Well hello there!

So no surprise to anyone but I have been shopping again....online and in store and I thought I would share with you what I picked up. As I have mentioned many of times Makeup Revolution is my favourite make up brand because they're products are not only super cheap, they have amazing quality as well! Just a pre-warning, this is going to be a long one so grab your cuppa teas because this is going to be a long read.

I'm just going to quickly mention a couple of things I received for Christmas, I did not purchase these myself but I thought I would to include them:

Ultimate Blush & Light & Contour Palette 2018

I have not had a chance to use this yet but I love how much option you have in this palette, there is 32 pans! It has a shade for every skin tone and different colours of each product. They usually sell these around Christmas time so at the moment they are being sold for £10 which is half price! You can buy this here.

Matte Lip Kit

So I have wanted one of these for the longest time and when I received this for Christmas I was over the moon! I have tried this out a couple of times but I won't go too much into detail as a full review is coming soon! I got the shade 'Echelon' which is the one I did want to buy myself and I love the colour. This lip kits retail for £6 and you can buy them here.

Liquid Bronze Highlighter
I have briefly touched on the liquid highlighters on one of my monthly favourites posts but I do really like these, they do dry down quickly so my only advice is to do one side at a time. But for £6 and them being a complete dupe of the Cover FX liquid highlighters, you can't go wrong. This shade is a tad too dark for me, but in the Summer or when I have a tan it will look a lot better. You can buy this here.

Now onto the things I bought myself recently:

Sugar & Spice Ultra Blush Palette
I have been really getting into blush lately, I never used to wear it but now I'm finding myself putting it on every day. I'm not going to lie I  just bought this so I have more option for blush in my collection. This palette is pretty, it has every shade you would possibly need apart from a coral shade and it has blush toppers! This retails for £4 which is very cheap and you can buy this here.

Newtrals 2 Eyeshadow Palette

This is another product I haven't had a chance to try yet but I am thinking of doing a review because this is only £4!! It has a mix of mattes, shimmers and a couple of shades have the tiniest bit of glitter in them. The shades in this palette are stunning and I have already heard good things and I want to try it for myself. You can buy this here.

Conceal & Define Concealer
I have already put up my review on this concealer, but if you haven't had a chance yet you can read it here. If you have read it you would know that I frickin' love this concealer!! They have 18 shades which is so impressive and for £4 they are such good quality, and people have been comparing this to the Tarte Shape Tape. That review was revolved around the shade C1 but I now have it in C3 which is the exact same tone, just a tiny bit darker. I use the darker shade for my blemishes. If you haven't bought this yet, first of all what are you doing and secondly you can buy them here.

Mega Matte Face Palette

I didn't need this in my collection as I have more than enough face palettes but I love the shades in this. It is a big palette so not travel friendly but I have been using this for the past week and I am loving it.  It has 2 face powders, 3 blushers and 2 contour shades and you can buy this here.

Single Blush

I did buy another blusher but this is a single pan that literally only costs £1 which is insane. I picked this up in the shade 'Treat' which is a coral colour, and I wanted this because I don't have a blush in this shade and I thought for how cheap it is then why not. You can buy this here.

Glow Getter Palette

I wanted this palette for the longest time, I had my eye on it when it first launched but I just never got round to purchasing it. It has 8 huge pans of highlighters which has a different range of shades which I love. It reminds me of the Ofra highlighter palettes but this is waaaaay cheaper than the Ofra one. You can buy this here.

Luminous Luna Liquid Highlighter

I did mention about these above but I purchased this one myself, this is a brand new shade in this collection. It is a pearly white shade which is even more perfect than 'Starlight' for my skin tone. You can buy this here.

Phhewwww....that was a lot of products! I did not buy all this at once, I think its been over the period of a month. Which thinking about it, is not that long at all and I need to control myself more when it comes to makeup. I just can't help it and especially when it comes to Makeup Revolution I cannot resist!

So that was my Makeup Revolution Haul.

MAKEUP REVOLUTION HAUL

Well hello there!

I have picked up these Makeup Revolution items over the past couple of weeks and decided to share them with you. I love Makeup Revolution, it is one of my favourite makeup brands. I think for the price of all their items, the quality is amazing! 
I'm not going to lie when I saw the packaging to the limited edition Life On The Dance Floor Christmas collection I could not help myself but pick a few things up (which are in this haul).

Life on the Dance Floor After Party Lipstick's

I bought this  from the Tam Beauty website and I love the silver glittery packaging. I got the shade 'Past Midnight' which is a deep berry colour and is perfect for Autumn. I have worn this once and I found it to be very pigmented, but I did need to go over it a couple of times during the night to get the full opacity. It was creamy and very comfortable on the lips. It was only £3, I think it is very good for the price!

I did get another colour in this collection, which is in the shade 'Stiletto' and this is a browny nude and oh my god... I LOVE this colour!! This is my new favourite nude lipstick for definite. The packaging for this lipstick is rose gold which I am also obsessed with. This was also only £3 which I think is so good for the quality of these lipsticks.

Life on the Dance Floor Eyeshadow Palette's

Ok so I could not stop there with this collection, I had to buy a couple of the eyeshadow palette's as well (of course). The first one I got was the Guest List palette which is jam packed full of warm orange/pink/brown shades. This is in the rose gold glittery packaging and I absolutely love it. These eyeshadow palette's are £10, which I think is amazing as you get a big mirror and 24 shades?! Can you believe that! I have not yet tried this yet but I think I might save it for a first impresions/swatches/review, what do you think?

The other eye shadow palette I got is called 'VIP' and this is in the gold glittery packaging. I picked this up because all of my eye shadow palettes I own have one thing in common, there are all warm toned! I wanted to try this palette as it has a lot more cool tones in it, and I want to see what they will look like on me. This is also £10 which does include the big mirror and the 24 shades. I still am not over the price for what you get! I have not tried this palette, but if i do end up liking it, I will definitely let you know.

Sun Kiss Highlighter

I picked this up in the shade 'Golden Kiss', I mainly got this up because I am missing a pale gold toned highlighter in my collection. If anyone has any recommendations, please let know! I absolutely love the Makeup Revolution highlighters because they are very pigmented! This cost's £5 and it is has a really big pan size so I think that is such a good price. 

Rainbow Highlighter

I got another highlighter (shocking I know), and this is their Rainbow Highlighter. These rainbow highlighters were hyped up so much earlier this year, and I just never got round to buying one. I have tried this out and I must admit it is quite a glittery highlight, which I don't mind at all, but I know not everyone likes that. You can use the individual shades but I just swiped over all of them and the overall shade has a light icy tone. This cost me £4.

Lace Baking Powder

This is the light coloured loose baking powder that comes in a little pot. I must admit I did think the pots were going to be a bit bigger, but trust me a little goes a long way so it will last a very long time! This colour is perfect for a paler skin tone, I didn't dare try the banana powder as I knew it would be too dark for me. The powder it is very finely milled and does look very smooth on my skin. This cost £5.

Bake and Finish Powder

I also picked up another powder which is also loose and is pure white. This comes in the same packaging as the Lace Baking Powder. I don't have a white baking powder in my collection so I decided to get this one. I am yet to try it so I am hoping it is good! This also cost me £5.

Where you can buy them:

Past Midnight Lipstick

Stiletto Lipstick

Guest List Eyeshadow Palette

VIP Eyeshadow Palette

Golden Kiss Highlighter

Rainbow Highlighter

Lace Baking Powder

Bake & Finish Powder

So that was my Makeup Revolution Haul.
