A SPECIAL WELCOME TO MY BLOG WITH A BEAUTY HAUL!

Ok, so here it goes!

My first blog post... So I thought I would celebrate with a beauty haul! 

These bits and pieces have been sitting in their Priceline bag for a bit over a week now and I am DYING to use them but I didn't want to messy them up before I took some pictures of them. (Listen to me sounding all blog writer like already)

ANYWHO! Lets get down to the fun bit! THE REVEAL! 

My fun little spending spree!

From top then left to right and then to the bottom!

First up we have the Essence Waterproof eyeliner pen in black.

I am somewhat a newbie to the liquid eyeliner and really just eyeliner in general.

I have what I like to call "heavy lids" so when I try to line my eyes with a kohl pencil I get some transfer above my eyeshadow. So I am hoping this waterproof version is going to solve that problem! I shall keep you updated!

Next is the Maybelline FitMe! shine-free fond de teint in the colour 220 Natural Beige. I love me a new foundation! Especially one that claims to be shine free as I do get a pretty oily T-zone. As I said earlier, I haven't had a chance to try any of these goodies yet but I will try and get a review up ASAP!

Swatches of the 3 lip products. 1st
is the NYX butter gloss then NYX
cream lipstick and last is Revlon
matte balm.

Number 3 is the NYX Creamy Round Lipstick in Louisiana. She is a gorgeous hot pink colour and I cannot wait to slap that baby on my lips! I am also pretty new to the BAM! bright coloured lips thing, but I am loving the experimentation.

I also grabbed the NYX Butter Gloss in the Colour Apple Strudel. A beautiful coraly nude. It's lovely and glossy, not sticky at all and leaves the lips nice and hydrated. Also an added bonus of smelling really good! It's too hard to explain so you're going to have to go smell this one for yourself.

Now for the two Essence eyeshadows! One metal glam shadow in the colour "coffee to glow" a gorgeous fawny brown with silver glitter throughout and the 3D Duo shadow in the colour "irresistible fox-trott" a lovely metallic copper-bronze with a shimmery peach. I haven't used these brands of shadow before, but the swatches seemed to go on pretty nicely.

More swatches! The waterproof
liner, the metal glam shadow
and the 3D shadow. Bad lighting
Not super pigmented but buildable.

On the home stretch now peeps! Second last is the Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara, in Ultra Black. (A buy after a very convincing sales pitch from the lovely Hayley from muskstickmao.com) I like a good mascara. It is the one beauty product I do use on a regular basis. I think even without any other makeup, a lick of mascara can make a face pop and look nice and fresh.

The last product is the new Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in the colour 210 "unapologetic"

Oh. Em. Gee. I now see what all the hype is about! Soft, creamy, highly pigmented colour with a yummy minty scent! I don't find it drying at all and find it has pretty good staying power.

Well, That is it folks!

The first little insight into my shopping addiction.

I hope you enjoyed the first addition to my page and come back for some more light reading!

Next up will be some proper reviews of these products and a pretty cool little gadget I couldn't leave behind from Priceline. So be sure to keep an eye out for that! 

Lots of love! Xx
