❉ My Amazon Haul ❉

Before we go on - Sorry I didn't post on Saturday, or Sunday! I'm in France, and it is really hard to get wifi :( Hopefully it won't happen again this week... Anyway, back to the point!

I went on a little Amazon shopping spree to spend some of my birthday money.

I’d like to call this my ‘Amazon Haul’. I know it’s not much, only because the money from the postage and packaging was ridiculous.

I wanted to get some more things, especially books, so I will either get them when I go shopping (in an actual shop) or if I can bear the postage and packaging.

Now, let’s get to the good stuff :)

1. Bath and Body Works ~ Hand sanitizer ‘Sugared Vanilla Wish’

I’ve smelt and tried my friends’ Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers, and I’ve always wanted to have my own (they are sold in shops only in America)! You have no idea how happy I am :) Owning these hand sanitizers might be the least of your worries, but they smell so scrumptious you might even eat it.

2. Bath and Body Works ~ Hand sanitizer ‘Sweet Pea’ [x3]

I bought three, as they were only 50p each. One for me, maybe another as a spare and one as a present for someone!

3. Natural Bamboo Handles, Super Soft Bristles, Eco-Friendly, 10 pcs Makeup Brush Set

I have makeup brushes, but they’re only travel-sized, and not enough! These were on sale and they are the perfect size, plus they are eco friendly! Also, they caught my eye - they have beautiful bamboo handles!
I've done a review on these makeup brushes. If you want to see, look at my last post!

The set consists of the following brushes : 

1. Eye Kabuki Brush
2. Everyday Eye Shadow Brush
3. Eye Blending Brush
4. Dome Blending Eye Brush
5. Angled Brow and Liner Brush
6. Foundation Blush
7. Oval Concealer Brush
8. Long Handled Kabuki Brush
9. Flat Top Brush
10. Eco Botan Artisan Kabuki Brush

4. Elegant Canvas Pastorable Floral Pencil Case - Light Blue and Pink

I decided to buy this to either put the bamboo brush set in, or as a pencil case for my many colourful pens. I love the design of this pencil case, and it was only £1!

5. Missha M ~ Perfect Cover BB Cream ‘No.23 Natural Beige’

I’ve always wanted a BB Cream, especially when I have mosquito bites! Massive bonus - It has SPF 42+! I'm thinking of doing a review of this... This is totally worth the money!

Following on from what I talked about earlier about me wanting to get some books - If you have any book suggestions for me to read/buy, please let me know - I haven’t got much to do this summer. Either comment below or on my Facebook link, thank you!

✎ ✎ REVIEW : Brush Set ✎ ✎

Before I start : 
~ I would have posted on my blog earlier today, but I was at a wedding anniversary!
~ Next week, I'll be in France, and there will be wifi on the beach and in the cafe where we'll be staying. I'll try and post, but it might be late. I'll be in France for 2 weeks, so my next two posts might be posted later in the day. Bare with me!


Anyway, I bought some things off Amazon, including these makeup brushes! [In next weeks post I'll be showing you my Amazon Haul!]

I already have some makeup brushes, but they’re smaller. I decided to buy these, because they’re full sized, cheap (I saw those same brushes but for a more expensive price and these were on sale) and they had really good reviews.

These makeup brushes have natural bamboo handles, soft bristles and it came with a bag! They’re really soft and good-quality.

The set consists of the following brushes : 

Eye Kabuki Brush
I would only use this for BB/CC Cream or foundation around my eyes.

Everyday Eye Shadow Brush

This brush is the perfect size, as the brush covers my lid. It’s not too big!

Eye Blending Brush

This brush is good if you want a smokey eye. I don’t do smokey eyes, but is a good blending brush nonetheless.

Dome Blending Eye Brush

The shape of the brush is slightly smaller than the eye blending brush, but it does the same job.

Angled Brow and Liner Brush

Like a normal angled brush, it is good for filling in brows, or using gel or eyeshadow for an eyeliner.

Foundation Brush

I don’t use foundation, so this brush will be clean for a long time!

Oval Concealer Brush

This is a small concealer brush, perfect for the blending in concealer.

Long Handled Kabuki Brush

A good multi-tasking brush. You can use this for blush, powder or bronzer.

Flat Top Brush

I think this brush is perfect for powder under the eyes after putting concealer on.

Eco Botan Artisan Kabuki Brush

I would only use this for BB/CC Cream or foundation on my face.

❁ What's In My Makeup Bag ❁

For my birthday, my Mum got me a makeup bag (Beauty Benefit Bag). To make some use for it, I've tidied my makeup and put all the makeup I regularly use in the bag.

I'd like to show you what makeup products I've put in the bag, and please tell me below what makeup you regularly use!

(I've put some of these products on paper, so you can see what they look like)

***DISCLAIMER*** I'm not showing off any products. I was given most of these products as presents from my family or friends, and all these products I genuinely have in my bag. Just so you know :)

My Makeup Bag

(1) EOS ~ Summer Fruits.
I love this EOS - it smells like summer, although this one isn't SPF :(

 

(2) Lush ~ Bubblegum Lip Scrub
Smells delicious and brilliant exfoliator for your lips!

(4) Nina Ricci ~ Translucent Compact Makeup Powder
I love this powder - SPF 15!

(5) Space NK ~ Small Eyelash curler
This isn't a full sized eyelash curler, meaning you can't curl your lashes in one go.
I prefer having this smaller one, as it's smaller to carry.

(6) Benefit ~ Boiing Concealers (01 + 02)
I use '01' on my blemishes and under my eyes, but '02' when my dark circles are darker than usual!

(7) Benefit ~ Travel-sized Bad Gal Liner Waterproof
Perfect for summer - I'll be in the sea a lot in France!

(8) Benefit ~ They're Real! Mascara
I know people complain about this mascara, saying it's too thick, it clumps your lashes and makes them look fake.
I really like this mascara, because it makes my lashes fuller and gives them more volume. I have small lashes and they make them more noticeable.

(9) Benefit ~ Travel-sized The Pore-fessional
I can't say much about this product - it's brilliant!

(10) Benefit ~ Feelin' Dandy Makeup Set
This makeup set includes :
- High Beam
- Posie Tint
- Dandelion Blush
- Dandelion Lip Gloss

As you can see, I have swapped Posie Tint for Bene Tint, because I feel Posie Tint is too pink for my cheeks, and Bene Tint gives a more natural blush.
