No7 Haul- Including a Gift Box!


*Warning this is a bit of a long one!*


Top to Bottom- Iridescent Purple Duo lighter shade, darker shade, cool mink shadow stick




So I was in Boots the other day whilst searching for items to go in my mystery bundle...oooh mystery. Anyway, so I was browsing the No7 counter when I saw there was an offer on, where if you buy two No7 cosmetic products you get a free gift box worth £20!! I was sold, I mean immediately. 

 So I straight away picked up the eyeshadow duo in Iridescent Purple, my much researched dupe for the discontinued Estee Lauder Raisins Duo *cries at the fact I never got to even try it* which I have been dying to buy for ages now. And then I spotted this shadow stick in Cool Mink, which may I say stay for a bloody long time! I only swatched it on my hand and it took a bit of scrubbing to get off, which I'm hoping means it is a stick version of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo's which stay alllll day, without fail! It is a lovely brown-y, taupe-y colour and I think will be one of those that you can just slap on when you're in a rush, to make it look like you've tried with your makeup, even if you don't have time. I will hopefully do a post on the eyeshadow duo soon as I am so excited to use it, I think it will be a FOTD as I don't think I'm good enough to do a tutorial yet. 

 So with those two products I received a cute little box with four mini products in. I received:

  •  a mini Skin Illuminator Radiance Boosting Beauty Fluid in Peach
  • a mini High Shine Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink
  • a single Stay Perfect Eye Shadow-the middle shade from the Cappuccino Trio 
  • a mini Exceptional Definition Mascara in Black
I'm really happy about what I got in this little gift box, two of the things (mascara and lip crayon) I have really wanted to try for a while as i have heard a lot about No7 products but not really delved into the brand before. I think this type of promo is a really great way to try out a brand and see if you like their products and what the quality is like. 

 So far I have tried the lip crayon and the eyeshadow and I really like both, the lip crayon has great pigmentation and staying power, yet feels light on the lips and the colour can be built up from sheer to quite bright. The shadow is quite a light colour therefore brilliant for all over the lid and has brilliant staying power even without primer, it doesn't crease and no fallout. I am yet to try the mascara but No7 is notorious for their reputation so am excited to give it a go and I've never used a skin illuminator before so that should be interesting.

 I hope you liked seeing this and make sure you go out and pick up this offer before it runs out! I'll see you on Sunday and don't forget to enter my giveaway!

e.l.f haul

To say I was excited to see this had arrived today would be a huge understatement. I'm that excited I'm skipping the usual quote picture header and diving straight in! Eek! 
Not so long ago e.l.f had an offer on of 60% off EVERYTHING! admittedly you had to spend £25 before the discount was taken off but, I ended up getting 30-something pounds worth for £18 including p+p, super impressed. I got 15 items in the end and I love every single one of them; now this post is going to be full of photos so I won't blab on too much, however I might do some independent reviews on a few products soon (if you have any requests, just ask). 

 Oh and one last thing they have another offer on now for 50% off everything, with a minimum of £10 spending until 9th August. I can't get enough, its almost dangerous.

 Ok, so I know that's a lot of pictures, I'm sorry; but I know that I like to see what other people have got, maybe just cause I'm nosey, I'm not sure. 
These photos don't do all of the shades and colours justice and my photography skills aren't great e.g the raspberry truffle eye shadow, its more plummy in person rather than just brown and also I found it difficult to capture the colour of the lip pen, its really a gorgeous, vintage mauvey rose colour.

 I haven't tried out any of these products yet as I only received them today, and only opened some of them after the photos (I'm so messy at opening cardboard packaging) however I LOVE the packaging and the quality feel of the products and can't wait to try them out. The brush bristles are really soft yet dense and feel like they will last a long time. 

 Overall for the price I paid I'm over the moon with my new purchases and can't wait to use them (but they're too pretty to ruin! ). 

 Anyway I hope you enjoyed my post and don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin :)

Mini Avon Haul

I have never bought make-up from Avon before however I do tend to get a catalogue plonked on my doorstep regularly; so I decided to have a look and see what sort of stuff they had. 
Clear skin clear emergency instant spot treatment-£2.25

 The first item I came across was this emergency spot treatment; now I know personally when I get a spot it tends to start and end it's life leaving a nice red mark on my face, so as this said that it can help to reduce redness in just 3 hours I thought, for £2.25, I may as well give it a try and see what happens. Well I have tried it a few times since buying it and I must say it does help to reduce redness slightly, however I don't think I will repurchase this as it isn't my favourite and I would say it takes longer than 3 hours to fully kick in. 
Colour Trend chopsticks eye liner in Black Cat Eyes-£2.50


Shade-Black Cat Eyes
 The next product I discovered was this interesting looking eye liner. This model is called a 'chopsticks eye liner' and when I saw it I instantly thought of a miniature version of Bourjous Queen Attitude kohl kajal eye liner. I only tend to wear black eye liner therefore I went for the only shade of black they had, however i didn't realize until I received it that it had tiny specks of glitter in it, now I wouldn't wear this everyday as a commonly used eye liner however I think it would be nice if you were going out, also it stays exceptionally well which would encourage me to use it for special occasions even more. The shape of the pen gives you  great accuracy and makes it easy to apply, just like a liquid pen liner.
Colour Trend Lip Stix non retractable lip crayon-£1.99


Shade-Reddy To Go
 Recently I have become very interested in putting more colour on my lips whenever possible; this means that I have become obsessed with looking at lipsticks, crayons, stains, tinted balms, anything I can get my hands on. So I was flicking through the 'lip' pages when I came across these Lip Stix. Now I have wanted a bright red lippy for so long and I thought at this price where can I go wrong? and everyone needs a bold red to go in their make-up collection. These crayons are very balmy and moisturising on your lips and also tend to give off a glossy effect, I think they are perfectly pigmented and show up really nicely on your lips.
