I recently found that I had a little more money in the bank than expected, so rather than saving it like a rational person would do, I opted to spend it on some new beauty products instead! There was a massive sale on BeautyBay, so I thought I'd pick up a couple items I'd been eyeing up for a bit.
The first item that went into the basket was the Aromatherapy Associates Miniature Bath Oil Collection (on sale for around $40), which comes with 9 different scents from the collection, which each contain 3ml of product. It's not a lot of product for your money, but I could smell them inside of the packaging, so I doubt I'll need much to fill up my microscopic bathtub with the luscious scents from the collection. It's a UK brand and isn't sold in the US (as far as I know), so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try the brand out! This would also make for a great gift, I'm considering picking up another set for my mom's upcoming birthday, but we'll see!
The next few items are Nails Inc. Nail Polishes in Portobello (a neon coral/orange) and Warwick Way (a teal) (on sale for around $15 each, but they can be purchased for less in the US). Both colors look stunning and weren't sold online by Sephora (which is why I bought them from BeautyBay instead of waiting until August to buy them). Nails Inc. has one of my all-time favorite nail polish formulations, so I couldn't skip the chance to add a few new colors to my ever-growing collection.
Another item that I opted for was a set of the Emma Hardie Natural Lift & Sculpt Professional Cloths (around $13 for a pack of 3). My current muslin cloths are a little worse-for-wear, and seeing as the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm is a massive skincare favorite of mine, it only seemed natural to buy the matching cloths. I tried one out last night for the first time - oh my. My skin has never felt so squeaky clean. It just goes to show that you can have a great cleanser, but the muslin cloth is just as important - I'm a total convert to these now. Now adding another pack of these bad boys to my next order...
The last item I opted for was the Stila In the Light Palette (about $38 on BeautyBay, retails in the US for $39). This has been on my wishlist for over a year, and my basket looked a little sad without a new makeup treat, so I went for it! The colors all look completely wearable, even the blue shade looks like something I could work with. I'm a fan of Stila as a brand, and I love Kitten Eyeshadow (review here), which is also a part of this palette, so I'm excited to try some new shades out! Keep your eyes peeled for a review on this, as one will definitely be churned out soon enough.
That's it for this haul post, but I may or may not have (but definitely did) make a sneaky purchase or two (or 6) off of Feelunique, which should be in soon - Haul post to come (these come way too often, don't they?).
Have you picked up any new beauty picks recently? Have you tried anything that I picked up?
