Happy New Year! I hope you all had a super fun and safe New Year and you're starting off 2017 strong. I started off the year with a massive cold so that was definitely unfortunate, but I am feeling better now with a little help from retail therapy.
Honestly, thank goodness for boxing day sales. I would be so broke without them (but I mean let's be real, I'm still broke with them, I just get more stuff). BH Cosmetics, which is probably my favourite makeup company had a massive boxing day sale this year with 35% off everything site-wide, so I was a very, very happy girl. I'm going to do a little haul and review for you all, but I would like to stress that I did purchase this all myself and all opinions are my own.
Alright, so first up - I got some false eyelashes, my first I've ever bought so that's a sign I'm an adult right? The ones I bought were the baby doll lashes (regular $5, sale $3) and although they weren't my first choice (the "foxy" lashes were sold out!), these lashes are a high quality synthetic hair and while they look super bold, they actually look very natural when they're on. I just need to learn how to actually put them on properly because I suck at it!
Next up, I completed my Illuminate By Ashley Tisdale palette collection, with the night goddess palette. This palette has nine eye shadows, a blush and two bronzing shades which are all a little more dark and bold compared to the beach goddess palette (review here!). I think the beach goddess palette is still my favourite, but this one definitely gives it a run for it's money. Regular $14, sale $12.50.
You know those videos on Facebook of girls doing glitter swatches on their arms? I think I've watched so many that subconsciously my brain decided that I needed glitter in my life, so I bought two. They are from Glitter Collection and I bought gold and black. I have absolutely no idea what I'll do with the black glitter, but they are both so beautiful I'm obsessed. The glitter itself is a but messy (duh, it's loose glitter) but once it's applied with glue it stays on so well and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. Regular - $6, sale -$4.
It wouldn't be my makeup haul without a lipstick, so I bought Missy Lynn Colour Lock long lasting matte lipstick in "Slay", regular - $9, sale - $5. I'm actually a bit obsessed with this lipstick as goes on so smooth and it stays on so well for hours. It's super pigmented and I'm honestly just disappointed that there isn't more colours because Slay is a little bit too dark for my liking.
Last but not least, I bought a makeup setting spray. The one I got was from Studio Pro (regular - $14, sale - $9.50). I don't really have anything to compare it to as this was my very first setting spray, but it does what is promised which is to keep my makeup in place all day.
I am so, so happy with all my products from BH, they've always delivered my packages without error or damage and the shipping isn't very expensive and doesn't take long at all. The products are honestly such good quality especially with the price considered. I definitely recommend looking into BH Cosmetics for your next makeup purchases!
