Hi, girls!
It's time for haul, as you might have already guessed! As you ca see in the pictures below, I was really set on buying makeup last month (and I still am!). Fragrance Direct clearance was partly guilty for the purchases below, if you don't know what Fragrance Direct is, read more here what was my first experience with this site. I'm loving it more and more as I find products I used to love and I can't find anywere or new products to try out or products that are considerably less expensive than in stores.
I've also discovered a Stock Market close to my house where they bring some brands and product ranges
we can't find in regular stores among other things. This is where I bought a cute pink Cuissons Pure Super Zingy Burst Shower gel which smells amazing like grapefruit (1.5 Euro), a Herbamedicus Krauter Kurbad Eucalyptus Bath Oil (1.5 Euro) and a Cyclax Cocoa Butter & Walnut Exfoliating Body Scrub (1.5 Euro).
I always love to have a Dove shower wash in my bath so I've stock up on Dove Creme Mousse Body Wash (2.5 euro). From Fragrance Direct I've bought a Be Beautiful Salon Selectives Cool & Rejuvenanting Shower Scrub with Eucalyptus and Peppermint (1.99 pounds) and a Sea Spa Relaxing Salt Scrub TangerineMelon (4.99 pounds on sale). Oh boy, I've bought lots of scrubs last month!
I've finally found my beloved Farmec Eyes and lips make-up remover with argan oil (2 Euro) and I had to buy it, it works wonders. I've also stock up on some cotton pads even though I couldn't find the maxi ones I love. I've repurchased also the Byphasse Make-up remover wipes for sensitive skin with sweet almond oil (3 Euro) a good replacement for my favorite Balea wipes.
From my FD haul I've got Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Textured Nail Polish in Apple Sour (1.99 pounds), such a nice pastel color for the spring to come. Revlon Liquid Quick Dry (5.5 Euro) is also an addition to my nail stuff collection.
I was in need of a loose powder so I thought to give this Charles of the Ritz Custom Blended Powder in Light (4.99 pounds) a chance when I saw it on FD. I've finally found my beloved L'Oreal Matte Morphose Souffle Foundation in Apricot Beige (5.99 pounds) on FD so I had to have it.
I'm definitely not a false lashes person but I've decided to play out some more so I've got the Royal Lased Out Individual Lashes (1.99 pounds) in Medium and an Eye Waterproof eyelash adhesive (2.5 Euro).
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer (17 Euro) is my absolute favorite so I've repurchased it from Sephora as my Lemon Drop version is almost done. I was very curious about the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer (4.75 pounds) but unfortunately it's no good for me, my eyeshadows creased in less than 2 hours!
W7 Style Eyes Brow and Lash Shaping Gel (1.99 pounds) will replace my ELF clear mascara. I was also searching another brow pencil so I'll give a try to W7 deluxe Eyebrow Pencil with brush (0.99 pounds) in Dark Brown. Bourjois Elastic Mascara Black Unlimited (2.99 pounds) was something I wanted to try out and I really like it.
The curiosity also made me buy NYX The Curve eyeliner pen for Black Friday but only in January arrived (The Make-up Shop didn't have it on stock). I actually like the ergonomic handle and it's also very intense. L'Oreal 24Hr Super Liner Gel Eyeliner (5.99 euro) in Black Violet is quickly becoming my favorite, not your usual black, but more of a dark violet which looks great with color toned eyeshadows. It also come with a small brush. I've actually forgot to show you in December's Haul the Sephora Waterproof Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hr Wear (gift) in 33 Love Affair, a dark plum, really nice for complementing hazel eyes.
In the eyeshadow departement, I've got at sales Sephora Eye Graphic 4 Colors Palette (10 Euro Sale) in Burgundy. From FD, the ones that caught my eyes are Rimmel London Glam Eyes Mono Eyeshadow (0.99 pounds) in Fancy Topaz, a beautiful pink-coppery shade, Dainty Doll Eyeshadow (1.99 pounds) in Teach Me Tiger, a beautiful coral shimmery shade and the famous L'Oreal Colour Infallible Eyeshadow (1.5 pounds) in All Night blue, which is a dark rich blue, great for smokey eyes. In a local store I've found some eyeshadow pigments from Pure Colors (4 Euro) in Maple (matte soft brown) and Coral (matte light pink-coral shade).
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick (6 Euro) in Undressed which made it to my January favorite list is the perfect nude for my complexion, not too brown or too pink. From FD I've got a couple of lip products: Calvin Klein Delicious Luxury Creme Lipstick (1.99 pounds) in Ethereal, a baby pink coraly shade, Posibility Peppermint Ice Cream Lip Balm (0.99 pounds), very moisturising but with no peppermint flavour whatsoever.
I want to enlarge my lip glosses collection so I've also bought W7 Super Pout Lip Gloss (1.25 pounds) in Mady, a light pinky shade. Just look at the ginormous applicator, it's crazy!
I've heard so many people rave about the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer (5.5 pounds) so I had to have the shade in Nova, a nice bright fuchsia color.
The last lip product I've got from FD is the Manhattan Soft Mat Lip Cream (0.99 pounds) in 53 M, a dark coral-red shade. It's a great products, but exfoliating the lips before applying this is a must as being a lip cream everything shows.
Love at first brush
