Mini Haul...



I really wanted to do the 100 day spending ban, I swear. HOWEVER with me having worked so hard over Christmas, and now not having a job, I thought I'd treat myself to a few goodies before I couldn't afford them.

MUA had a great deal on their website where you got the MUA artiste palette free when you spent £5 or more (I think that was the deal). So I decided to treat myself to a few goodies. I picked up the individual eyeshadows in Shade 25 pearl (apparently a dupe for Mac's Cranberry??), Shade 16 matt, Shade 11 pearl and Shade 30 pearl. I absolutely love their singles, as they are just super pigmented for £1! Then I picked up a lipstick in Shade 14 Bare as I was desperate for a nudey lipstick. Then I also picked up a couple of their eye pencils in Starry Night (a black liner with glitter) and Pink Sparkle (a pinky colour).

I ordered a Burt's Bees mango nourishing lip balm as I'd heard so much about them and I really wanted to try a stick lip balm rather than using my Vaseline all the time as my lips were becoming immune to it!

I picked a couple of bits up at Superdrug, I got a Sleek blush in Rose Gold. It is the most amazing colour! Apparently a dupe for NARS Orgasm but I've never seen it first hand so can't really comment! But it is the most gorgeous colour and I got it on the lovely Gemma from Button's Blog recommendation! I also got a new Barry M topcoat and one of their Gelly polishes in Prickly Pear (see my review of their Gelly polishes here ). I got this limited edition Gold Glitter polish free as I spent over £6 so was chuffed!! I love me a freebie!

Last but not least, I popped to YSL and asked for a sample of their Shocking mascara as I am desperate to try it. I'll give a good review once I've gave it a good try out!!

Unfortunately, as I haven't managed to get a new job just yet (redundancy sucks), I think an involuntary spending ban will be coming soon. So I thought I'd treat myself while I could!!

    Hope you find a new job soon lovely :)
    Prickly Pear is gorgeous! And Rose Gold is lovely too, easily one of my most-used blushers.

    Such a great haul! When I'm out of my no spend I want to get the majority of the MUA single shadows, they have some beautiful ones!

    I love MUA products, I just had a mini haul (I posted this morning too, lol!) and bought 3 of the eyeshadows too. They're so great for the price! I also got a lipstick but in red, but that nude one looks so nice. I really want to try the gelly polished by Barry M -I love the look of the green one. I love the purple MUA shadow, the MUA stand I was at was in a small Superdrug so hardly any products - but when I am next at work there is a huge superdrug with loads of MUA. I plan to spend more! haha

      You should check out MUA's online store too if your Superdrug isn't great for them! There's nearly always some kind of deal or offer on xxx

    I got the Artiste palette a month or so ago and I really like it - those single shadows look lovely as well. And the Barry M polishes look super fun. I really wish Sleek, MUA & BarryM were available in the US! I know I can order it, but it's not the same as seeing the fun stuff in real life :) Enjoy! And good luck with your job hunt!

      Yeah, it can be annoying when you can't see stuff in real life and impulse buy it if you're like me! xxx
