Little beauty haul!

Twice in two days you must be lucky!
So I ordered these products about a week ago, I recieved both of the orders this afternoon so I thought i would do a little haul for you all.
I ordered one item from feel unique and the other six products from Superdrug.
Well let's get started.


This is the product that I ordered from Feel Unique, it was packed wonderfully, well as far as packing goes. Basically the product arrived without any damage so that's good.












This product is made by the brand Lavera, I randomly came across this product as I was looking for a new moisturiser. I read all of the reviews on this product they were all good, they basically said that the product works wonders for their skin, which seemed to be the same as mine (combination-oily) reading these made me even more certain and excited about the product. It states that it is organic mint & burdock extract, Pore Refining Moisturising Fluid (for oily skin). Which basically made me buy it, not that I need much persuading to buy anything. The product claims that the Organic mint fluid has a refreshing, soothing and purifying effect and the Organic burdock extract provides a softening and astringent action.
This moisturiser cost me £10.90 with free delivery so I don't think its too bad, as long as it does what it claims. I am rather excited to bring this product into my skin routine.



when I swatched this product if didn't leave my hand feeling greasy, it soaked right into my skin.


These next six products were all bought from Superdrug online store.
Brand: NYC
Product: Colour wheel, mosaic face powder
Shade/colour: Translucent highlight glow
Cost: £3.99
This product caught my eye, mainly because of the low price tag. When I was in high school I always thought that this was a 'rubbish' brand simply because they had really low prices. Now that I have learnt more about make up and the brand. I have realised that good products don't always have to come with the hefty price tag. I needed a highlighter saw this and thought, "I'm going to try some of that brands products" so I bought it. Oh look I'm rambling again. Basically I can't wait to try these products out. I will probably do a review on here about these very soon.
Brand: Miss Sporty
Product: Just clear mascara
Shade: 101 Clear
Cost:£2.99
I basically bought this product to use as a brow gel, to set my eye brows. Simple but effective.


Brand: NYC
Product: Big and Bold curling mascara
Shade: Extra Black
Cost: £3.99
This product I purchased, again because I wanted to look into the brand NYC and their product lines.


Brand: NYC
Product: Individual eyes (brown eyes pallet)
Shade: 945 Midtown Mauve
Cost: £3.99


I saw this product and thought it was a must as I have brown eyes, see what I mean by easily convinced by brands. Can't wait to buy this product this weekend.
Swatches in colour order


Brand: NYC
Product: Smooth skin perfecting primer
Shade: 684
Cost: £3.99

I needed a primer saw this the price tag, the brand and the reviews all drew me in. Very excited to start using this product.

This is the swatch it also claims to be a mattifying product which is perfect for my oily skin

 Brand: Sleek make up
Product: Blush
Shade: Pixie pink 936
Cost: £4.49







Heard so many beauty guru's rave about this brand especially their blushes so I thought I would give them a whirl starting with this beautiful product. When I swatched it the pigmentation looks incredible. Cannot wait to create a perfect look with this blush.














Thank you all so much for reading.
It really means a lot to me

May Favourites

I cannot believe that it's June already, you know what that means May favourites. This is a way that I can share products that I have been loving throughout May.



These are the products I have been making the most of this month.

The first product/products I'm going to be talking about are the realTECHniques brushes, this month I have especially been enjoying two. The two brushes are the blush brush and the shading brush.
Both of these brushes are amazing, I use the blush brush everyday for a simple quick and easy application of blush. The hair fibres on this range of brushes is wonderful, they are soft on the skin and they also pick up just the right amount of product. This is ideal as the brush I was using before basically drank up my products it would pick up the product with ease but then would almost hold onto it. I don't like this as I believe that it is a massive waste of product.
I don't use the shading brush as much as I do the blush brush. I use this brush for concealer, this helps me conceal any dark circles or blemishes. I don't use this every day just because I don't always need that extra coverage. 




Blush Brush (£9.99) 










Shading Brush (£6.99)





The next product is something that i would recommend highly, I received this product in May's Glossy Box and I honestly cannot express how much love I have for this product. The application is perfect, when i first received this and saw the brush i was slightly worried. This brush is a simple one, but it works wonders I haven't used a mascara like this before, it doesn't flake its long lasting, waterproof and easy to apply. The only problem I found with this product is the removal its a little bit tacky, you would need a waterproof eye make up remover. I love this product and I will defiantly be repurchasing this product though. 
 

Jelly Pong Pong
Fairy Lashes mascara (£15) Full size





This product is amazing the LA ROCHE-POSAY - Hydreane Riche is wonderful, it does every thing it claims to do. I have loved this brand for a while so I thought I would branch out and buy some more from the brand. This moisturising cream is aimed at sensitive skin so it is perfect for me, although I have oily skin I do also have sensitive skin in some areas. It is an excellent make up base, this product has also thrown a lot of moisture back into my skin as it has been very dry for a while. I am starting to feel more comfortable in myself now that my skin is getting better.


I can't quite remember the price of this product but I believe that it was (£13)

Nip + Fab is a product that I will defiantly be repurchasing out of Aprils Glossy Box, I love this product. The smell is amazing its worked wonders on my skin and its just a all round great product. Maybe I should tell you what product I am talking about, The Nip + Fab Coconut Latte dry skin fix body butter. The scent of this product is unbelievable even just writing this post is making me want to put some on. 
I use this products on my arms and legs after showering, it soaks into the skin wonderfully and is not greasy. The results last all day and so does the scent I will defiantly be buying the full size product when i run out. This is over all a brilliant product I would recommend this to anyone.


(not sure on price)

This next product came in a Glossy box again, it came in Aprils Glossy Box, its the Dermalogica daily microfoliant, I personally haven't seen a product like this before I'm sure there are others out there but i haven't seen them. To use this product you pour some of the power into your hands, whilst doing this you will need to ensure that your hands are quite wet. You would use this as a exfoliator for your face. I love this product it makes my face feel wonderful and when I also use the face mask that is below it just makes my face feel amazing. It makes your face incredibly soft and it makes you feel all clean and fresh. I love this idea of this product I would defiantly repurchase this.


 
For the 13g size this product is £11.50






This next product is something that i picked up from Tesco, I fancied a paper evening so i bought this mask i don't know much about the brand at all but i do know that this face mask is amazing. It makes my skin feel cleansed and fresh. I love this product and will be repurchasing it I am currently trying to look into the brand to see if they have any other products. This Good Things product is a Five minute facial face mask (super fruit extracts) Avocado and Goji Berry. This is a clay type mask you leave it on your skin for five minutes and then wash it of with a damp cloth. It claims to make your skin, smoother, brighter and helps keep skin clear.
 
I cannot remember the price of this product.






Thank you for reading
hope I helped
