Recent Purchases Feb 2014 / March 2014

New things :-)

Recent purchases from the past 6 weeks that I love! I bought some of these online and the rest in Boots and at the Irish beauty show, which again was a huge success and great fun to attend for the third year in a row. 

Marc By March Jacobs cosmetic bag from iOffer

 The first purchase I made was on ioffer.com. I've heard loads of bad things about this website, such as ordering an item and getting something completely different or an empty package. I was very skeptical about ordering so I chose something small and sweet for my first purchase and I am defiantly impressed! I ordered this Marc By Mac Jacobs cosmetics bag. The only downside to ordering was the wait, they say anything from 2-6 weeks and mine arrived in nearly 4 weeks. Very happy with this cosmetic bag, how much it can hold and the overall quality.

Cocoa Brown Lovely Legs

I've been a Cocoa Brown tan fan since it was first released. At the Irish Beauty Show is where I stocked up last year on my one hour tan and it was time to get more. I picked up 4 bottles of the one hour tan and then two of these new releases. Lovely legs which is an instant tan makeup for legs (similar concept on Sally Hansen, but I find the consistency lighter and a better colour). 

Suddenly Diamonds by Lidl

This was a random purchase when I was food shopping in Lidl last week. I had seen on many irish beauty blogs that a Lidl perfume resembled a Chanel for a fraction of the price and wanted to check it out. I definatly was not a fan of the Chanel dupe as it reminded me of 'old lady' strong purfume that caused me to sneeze! I then tried this and really like it, its a light fresh, floral scent and for 3.49 you can't go wrong. Going to keep this in my handbag for when on the go!

I have been seeing texturised hair on blogs a lot on celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, and wanted to try out a sea salt spray for that texturised beach hair effect. This was a good purchase from Boots, costing between 5/6 euro. I spray it in my hair when it is still damp and dry the rest. I leave my long hair wavy and reduces frizz. 

Placed my first order on beauty joint.com. As I watch many youtube beauty gurus online, Lauren Beauty always recommends Jordana best last extreme so I made my order and it arrived within a week along with some Jordana brow powder. I really like both products. The mascara is quite quick on the brush so I tend to wipe off the excess before applying and it holds the curl nicely all day long. This brow powder doubles as a good crease colour for adding depth to my eyes. 

I purchased two 'BlankCanvas' eye brushes at the Irish Beauty Show in the RDS. I really want to order more as they are brilliant for blending compared to my sigma blending brushes that I already own.
