Makeup/Skincare Black Friday Haul

I can finally show you my Black Friday haul. I had almost all of my parcels, except for one, my Beauty Bay order. Almost a month later and it arrived. I wasn't thrilled, but at least I got it.

 Ok, I'll start with the skincare. Mostly The Ordinary. but all under the Deciem umbrella. Beauty Bay was my first order of the Ordinary products, then Deciem revealed their Black Friday sale that I just couldn't resist.

My order contained Azelaic Acid, Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, Buffet, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F, "B" Oil, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Caffeine Solution + EGCG and I needed to stock up on the Glycolic Acid Toner.


From Deciem I bought High Spreadability Fluid Primer x 2, Heel Chemistry cream x 2, Lactic Acid 10% + HA x 2, NIOD Survival 0 Serum x2, Buffet and Retinol 1% in Squalane.

Let's just say I'm pretty stocked up on the Ordinary, however there are still other products from the line that I want to try!


I had to place my annual Revolution haul and bought a little something for myself. Ok, it's a big something! But, so cute that I just couldn't resist, and half price, too!

Inside was the Red Velvet eye shadow palette, Peanut Butter Cup eye shadow palette, Praline face palette and Chocolate Heart Shimmer Bronzer.

And here's a look inside.


I couldn't resist the deal on the Block Party and Saffron palettes from Suva Beauty.
An array of colourful and warm tones, yes please!


It's been a long time since I have been tempted by loose eye shadows, but Dawn Eyes Cosmetics Premium range had me adding them to my cart



Instead of just showing you what is in the pots, I thought I'd show you the swatches of these beautiful eye shadows. Stunning!


Some goodies from Dose of Colors.

I've been wanting the DesiXKaty Friendcation palette since they released it, but waited patiently knowing that DOC would have a Black Friday sale. Of course, I had to add some other products to my order as well.


Last, but not least, I was so excited to place my first ever Mecca order.

For the longest time I've been wanting to try both the Stila Magnificent Metals and Too Faced Melted Matte liquid lipsticks. I couldn't really justify full sizes, so when the minis Christmas packs were released, I knew they had to be mine.

Well, that's Black Friday shopping done for another year!

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

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. Opening the palet
