Sephora Haul!



Yes you read that right. SEPHORA haul. On my recent travels to Portugal on holidays we found a sephora in a local shopping mall. Being from the UK whenever a Sephora comes into sight we of course have to enter one. I was really surprised at how expensive some of the bits were and thought I was going to leave without purchasing anything, until I saw the aisle of doom. Oh it was mini heaven! I tried to take some pictures inside the store but was told off! I didn't buy a lot of products but deffo a couple of bits that I loved as soon as I saw them! Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of the bits I picked up! 




Sephora Mini palette- Natural & Intense 











If I am being completely honest I didn't know what to expect from this at all. It was one of those things that I wanted because it had 'Sephora' written on it. As I have opened and started to use it I am glad that I bought it. The palette comes with 4 eyeshadows, 1 blush and 2 lip glosses. The idea behind the palette is that you can create two completely different looks. A natural and an intense look. This is going to be perfect for my trip to Disneyland Paris in a couple of months as we are travelling by plane so need to travel light!


Sephora Shourouk nail varnish



This nail varnish is part of the Shourouk for Sephora collaboration. Prior to buying this I had no idea what this was. I simply purchased this as I spotted it at the till as I was checking out and loved the colour.  It is a gold/bronze colour with small specks of glitter. I am yet to try it out but just know that this is going to be the perfect topcoat for a accent nail.


MASCARA



This is the only product that I knew before entering Sephora I wanted to try. I have read some mixed reviews on blogger and watched some tutorials using this on youtube. This is a small size and I am going to be saving it for Disney. The reviews I have read all seem to suggest that this mascara is truly lengthening. I guess I will see what I think when I try it out! Expect a blog post soon!


Invisibobble- The traceless hair ring



I know what your thinking, 'that is the weirdest looking hairband I have ever seen', trust me I thought the same thing when I first saw it. I was really interested in how it works! On the back of the box it says that the bobble leaves no trace in your hair, doesn't pull and doesn't move! All of these things are definitely something that I am interested in! I am always on the look out for hairbands that don't give me a headache. My hair is relatively thick and I certainly have a lot of it. I agree with all of these claims! The ring doesn't move, even after a full days work (and I really don't sit still either!). The only downside, if you can count this as a downside, is the fact that it is really hard to take this bobble out. But every plus must have a minus right?


FREEBIES


The cute little man who was serving me gave me these Biotherm samples to try out. He motioned to me that they were for using under the eyes. I can't wait to try them!



I hope you liked this little Sephora haul! I am so glad that I was able to fit the visit into my last trip. I was afraid that we would run out of time! Let me know what you have been buying from Sephora recently, or write your link of your hauls in the comments below!

Have a lovely week! 
Lots of love, 






Naked Urban Decay- ON THE RUN


After first since seeing the Naked on the run palette in my local Debenhams, I knew it was the palette for me. I am sucker for a great neutrals palette and thought that the whole concept of this was amazing. Basically everything you would need for touchups, day to nights or generally to do your whole face of makeup, (minus foundation obvs) can be found in this palette. It comes in the most stunning packaging and rose gold detailing. Now who doesn't love a little bit of rose gold? I was given this palette for my birthday and although I have been in love with it ever since! It does say on their website that it is limited edition, so you might want to get this quickly! 
 So the palette comes with 6 all new shades of eyeshadow with an extra dosage of 50/50 on the end for good measure. It also comes with a bronzer and blush, the popular perversion mascara, 24/7 eyeliner pencil in stag and a full sized naked lipgloss.
Just look at that packaging! 



 All of the eyeshadows are just like their other palettes. They are so creamy and blend into each other really nicely. The colours also go together perfectly which makes this palette a big contender in the ever going self conflict I have with which to bring on holiday. Sorry Naked 2 and 3 but this one might just win!
Overall this palette is the complete package for me. From the design on the box to the quality of each shadow. You can really tell that thought has been put into this box to make sure that there is a shade for every look. I really love the fact they have included a full size naked lipgloss as not only does it feel comfortable on, but it finishes off the look with no need to think of what lippy to use! 

If you have tried this palette let me know below! 
Have a lovely week! 
Love,
