Big haul! Stilla, Lush, Nyx and more!




Hello and welcome back to my blog! 
As some of you may know after my birthday I decided to go on a shopping rampage and I wanted to wait for all the parcels to arrive before I showed you them all some did take longer then expected as I was planning on posting this a week ago.

 
 The first order I received was my ChiChi cosmetics order. I purchased this as they gave me 20% off for my birthday
I have to start by saying how cute is the packaging? Not only of the products but this box it came in!










First product we have is the Chi Chi lip liner in Nearly Nude 
I will be featuring this in a future post on how to get fuller looking lips












 Next thing I got was a Chi Chi baked eyeshadow in the shade 'Call Me' I'm so inlove with this eyeshadow! It's the perfect shimmery nude and even beautiful used as a highlighter! 












 Next is the Chi Chi long wearing eyebrow pencil in Taupe/ Blonde. I love this eyebrow pencil and will be doing a review and demo in a future post! 















Next is the Chi Chi Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Socialite. I am pretty disappointed though, I thought that this was going to be a very light pink nude when I purchased online and was shocked when I swatched it and it was bright pink! I still think it's absolutely beautiful though! 
That concludes my Chi Chi order!









Next thing order that arrived was actually a gift from my friend Monique! She has a beauty Instagram which I will leave the name of at the end of this post!
How she came to sending me this was my local Kmart didn't sell the elf eyebrow kit and iherb was always sold out so she kindly offered to send me one and much to my surprise there was a whole gift inside for my birthday! 
It's was so lovely of her, but she should be expecting a parcel in the near future!

Next order to arrive was my iherb order

   The first thing I purchased was the elf cosmetics Baked Eyeshadow Palette in California.

The last thing I purchased from iherb was the Real Techniques Your Eyes Enhanced makeup brush set. I have absolutely been loving all the brushes in this set!









Next order to arrive was my Beauty Bay order, I was super super excited for this one!

I purchased the Stilla In the Know and the In The Light palette.
These are so so amazing, and I will be posting a look for each palette in future posts

The last of my orders to arrive was my Ozsale where I purchased some NYX stuff when they were having a 80% sale! 


I purchased some of the single shadows and starting from the top going clockwise the shades are, Rust, Champagne, Barely There, True Taupe, Frosted Flake and Charcoal Brown.

 I also got 2 long eye liners, although they say they are eyeBROW pencils they are Black and White. I also got a long lip pencil in Auburn.
I also got a Lip Pencil in Hot Red










Lastly I got two Lipsticks on the left is Decadent which is a deep red and Fig on the right which is a sheer bright pink.





From Fridays post you may know I went to Melbourne for a Napoleon Perdis event, beforehand I did some shopping and first off here is what I got from Lush

First thing I got was the BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask,  this mask has nutritious seaweed, cleansing kaolin, antiseptic honey and rose absolute and is meant to cleanse, soften and beautify. 
Suitable for all skin types and is 75g

 Next purchase which is a lot of peoples favourite and it's the Bubblegum Lip Scrub. This is actually made from castor sugar and I think it would be easy to make some thing similar at home yourself. 
25g

 This one I was so excited to try when I saw it and it's the Shine So Bright Hair Balm For Split Ends, so like a lip balm but for your hair!
I think it's so cool and can't wait to try it out.
10g

 Next purchase was the H'suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment. This is a protein treatment so more specifically for very dry and damaged hair. It has ingredients such as Eggs, Bananas, Avocado and Extra Virgin Olive oil.
Apply and leave in for 20 minutes before Shampooing and Conditioning
 This purchase was actually for my boyfriend but I think I'll be able to get some uses out of this too. It's the Ultrabalm! It's main uses are Restoring, Soothing, Protecting, Relieving and Moisturising 
I did read in their magazine you use this to flatten fly aways so your hair is some or to put your eyebrows into shape.
It really is a All Purpose Balm
45g

The last purchase was the Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly! They describe it as being a 'Party in a pot'
It has Cherries, Coconut, Jelly and Sparkles.
 I'm so so excited to use this! 
100g





Now what I purchased from Mecca Maxima

 I purchased the Bare Minerals Concealer in 'Well Rested' I have already tried this out and I love it so much!
 Next up is something I knew I was going to get no matter what is the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla.
It's the perfect shade for me and covers up everything I need covered, even my dark under eyes. 


I did get two samples, first one on the left is a sample of the NARS Sheer Glow foundation, I also already tried this out and I know for sure I will be ordering the full size! 
The next is a sample I got with my purchase and its the Dr. Brandt Face Cream
