Beauty Haul

Friday 18 April 2014

Yesterday I looked at my bank balance and convinced myself that someone has been using my bank account. Today I remembered that person was me and I actually had a haul post to write. A few of these things were purchased out of need, others were purchased due to plain old desire and greed but hey, I’m weak!


The Urban Decay Naked 3 palette was always destined to be mine but I stopped myself from purchasing it for far too long. I wanted to use up more of the original Naked palette before introducing the rather stunning Naked 3 palette into my life. I did hit pan on one eyeshadow in the original Naked palette and that was all the justification I needed. My willpower is incredible…

Nars Heatwave has been on my wishlist for a long, long time but I very stupidly didn’t pay attention to my other lipsticks before buying this. I already have this shade in the form of 3 other lipsticks. Clearly I am obsessed with this colour but I am a little annoyed at myself for throwing £19 at something I basically already have. The way I will justify this purchase is by saying that the other 3 lipsticks I have in this shade are all of very different finishes and formulas so it could be a lot worse. Perhaps I need help.


The only product I’ve used by Benefit to date is the Dandelion blusher. I’ve always been tempted by so many of their products but I always put them back down whenever I’m at a Benefit counter. This peach shadowliner was really bought on a whim and I’m still confused as to how and why I purchased it. I’ve never had any need or want for peach eyeliner but here I am the proud owner of one. Hopefully this will not progress into a love affair with Benefit as my bank account will crumble under the weight of it.

Lipliner has become my new best friend and Rimmel London is my go to brand for them. Eastend Snob is not the best one I’ve used by them formula wise but its perfect shade wise. I do find it to be a little waxy but it goes with the majority of my pink lipsticks so I’ll just overlook the waxiness.


Can you tell what my favourite skincare brand is? I’ve been using Simple’s cleansing wipes for years now and have slowly started to introduce their other products into my daily skincare routine. Whenever there is a 3 for 2 on skincare products I always buy at least one Simple item as I know they’ll never wreak havoc on my skin. The toner is a repurchase as are (obviously) the cleansing wipes but the eye make up remover cream is new to me.

I’ve always tried to avoid high end skincare items as I never find them to be of the same quality as the more drugstore brands but I just couldn’t resist Dolce & Gabanna this time. I went for the Clarifying Lotion because I wanted it. It doesn’t get shallower than that folks. The bottle and the lovely gold box it came in just screams luxury to me and I can’t help but feel a little bad about confining it to a drawer. I’m normal I swear.


Neutrogena and I are acquaintances but have yet to become firm friends. I’ve always overlooked it as a brand but I decided it’s about time we got to know each other. I went for the Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash because erm well, it’s pink. Logical.

The Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion that I very stupidly forgot to photograph again after the group shot is a firm favourite of mine. This is now my 4th bottle but in all honesty I didn’t actually want to repurchase it just yet. I’ve wanted to try out other cleansers for a while but when it came to actually choosing one there wasn’t any to umm and aah over. This is what you get for doing your desperate search for a cleanser in Sainsbury’s.

Now if you don't mind I am going to stare at the prettiness of the Dolce & Gabanna Clarifying Lotion and ponder how I ended up with the Benefit shadowliner. Toodles xx
