USA Haul!


My mum was going on a trip to America, so naturally I couldn't let her go without providing her with an extensive shopping list! Now that she's returned I can play around with all of my new products (and review them for this blog, of course). 




 First up, of course, was Sephora! In fact, from February to now I am somehow a Sephora VIB. Without even living in the US. I think that says a lot about me..
Thanks to Sephora Point Perks and voucher codes I got 3 different samples, and then through their online ordering I got three foundation samples!



I've always wanted to try Fresh lip products- being the lip junkie I am- and decided to get this Sugar Bare set, with minis of the lip balms and a lip polish. On top of that, I got a deluxe sample size of the original lip balm, I don't think I'll be running out anytime soon!


 I used to own a little size of the Urban Decay Primer Potion and I ran out of my Smashbox one, so I got the full size in 'Original'
I also ordered my first ever NARS products, the Radiant Creamy Concealer in 'Ginger', which I'm incredibly excited to try! I think the shade is a little dark for me though, it's suited more for my summer skin.


 Viva La Juicy is one of my all-time favourite perfumes but I didn't want to buy a full size bottle because my perfume shelf is a bit too crowded. Instead, I got the Juicy Couture The Night is for Noir set with purse sprays of 'Viva La Juicy' and 'Viva La Juicy Noir' as well as some nail polish and a cute little pouch.
With my Sephora Points I got the Bumble and Bumble Straight blow dry cream and Glow by dr. brandt illuminating moisturiser. 


 And now the most exciting purchase of them all, the Sephora Super Stars kit with 13 products, quite a good few of them full sized products. I will be reviewing this very soon! 


 Some little bits from Target, an EOS lip balm in 'Pomegranate Raspberry' and Secret Clinical Strength deodorant- not the most glamorous of items but something I've wanted to try out.


 Now, Bath and Body Works is my favourite non-beauty store in the States, so this was an exciting order for me. I bought some fragrance mists, a shower gel and a body lotion, as if I needed any more body products!


 Of course I just had to get some PocketBac hand sanitisers, some are part of the permanent line and the others are Halloween and Christmas themed!


 My candles are rapidly running out so I was glad to be able to restock them. I bought 3 minis, Cranberry Woods, Farmstand Apple and Mahogany Teakwood, while Farmstand Apple is a very fresh scent the other two and very seasonal, perfect for Autumn/Winter. The last one I got was the Stress Relief candle, which I got in anticipation for my exams in a few months!
Those were my exciting purchases, reviews will be coming soon so watch this space!
