2015 Christmas and Birthday Hauls

My birthday is the 29th of December, so it makes sense to me to purchase my birthday and Christmas presents at the same time. I do this during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. My favourite time of year, lol.

Before the sales had even been announced for Makeup Revolution, I had already decided that I wanted the Pink Fizz, Naked Chocolate and Salted Caramel palettes.

Instead of an actual sale, there was a gift with purchase To qualify for the offer, I added 2 eye shadow blending brushes to my order. By doing so, I received the following products.
So many extra goodies to play with. Totally didn't need them, but hey, they were free! :)

Give Me Glow liquid lipsticks.

I had come across this Etsy store on Instagram. I'd resisted temptation for some time, but during my splurge, I figured there was no better time to place an order.

MBA Cosmetics

Matte Liquid Lip Colors had been one of the products on my wishlist. MBA Cosmetics have sales quite often and I knew that the Black Friday sales were going to be great. I was not disappointed! Included was an eye shadow sample, which is always nice.
   
  

I could not wait to buy the "Where The Light Is" quad. Of course, I couldn't waste on order of just one item ;)

I'm so happy to have been naughty by adding so many makeup items to my collection. Now that I have taken photos comes the fun part of playing with everything.

    Excellent haulage, some rad looking palettes there. As if you wouldn't spend up to get a GWP!

    Ohhhh I want that Colourpop paleeeeeette! (And several other things from them.) Pity that shipping is so damn expensive though...

    Great haulage & I don't blame you for spending more to get a GWP, especially when it's as generous as the one you received.

      The CP shipping sucks, and it doesn't help that the Aussie dollar is woeful at the moment. Oh well, back to my low-buy, lol xx

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
