Fragrance Direct Haul (Dainty Doll, NYC, Revlon, L'Oreal)

I placed my first Fragrance Direct order a few days ago and thought I'd show you what I picked up! Being ridiculously pale, I've always wanted some items from Dainty Doll, the range by Nicola Roberts but it's so pricey I just couldn't fork out so much money for a blusher so when I saw that the whole collection was reduced dramatically I couldn't resist! 

I purchased two of the powder blushes in the shades My Girl and You Are My Sunshine. My Girl is a really girly pink and You Are My Sunshine is a shimmery bronze kind of coral, both gorgeous colours. They were £1.99 each instead of £13.50 which is a massive saving of  £11.51! I also couldn't resist getting one of the kohl eyeliners aswell as they were only 99p which is a saving of £9.51! I got one in the colour Night Train which is a deep blue colour, hoping that it would compliment my blue eyes! I'll be doing a review post with swatches soon!

 And of course I couldn't just buy three items, I ended up buying almost a complete new face of make-up! The brush is the bourjois mineral matte make-up brush and was only 99p, I just thought it might be nice to use to apply the new foundation as I don't really have a foundation brush. It was just small, cute and cheap so thought I'd find a use for it some where. Next, I got the L'Oreal minerals concealer in ivory for £1.99 (RRP £7.99). It's got SPF 25 and I just really like the idea of applying a powder concealer with a brush to avoid the pulling and tugging of rubbing a liquid concealer into such a delicate area. Unfortunately, the colour is noticeably too dark for me so isn't wearable which is a real shame because I love that it comes with a brush and it seems to last all day too. I've wanted this Revlon foundation for a while because I've heard a lot about it but I wanted the one for combination/oily skin which retails for £12.49 and Fragrance Direct didn't have it in my colour so being impatient I ordered the one for normal/dry skin for £7.95. I REALLY like this. It takes a lot for me to find a foundation pale enough for my ghostly skin but this is a great match. I won't say too much because I'll be making a separate review post soon!

I also couldn't resist picking up a new mascara having a ridiculous mascara obsession. I thought buying this might prevent me from spending more than I can afford on the Benefit They're Real mascara which I'm lusting after. It was only £1.99 but I'm not really a fan so far. The brush is a thin, long, plastic brush and the mascara itself has quite a wet, sticky consistency which I don't really like but I'll persevere - maybe it will grow on me!

Pound World Haul

I love finding branded products in pound shops! I picked up these two Rimmel nail polishes in Pound World in colours Blue Lagoon which is a pale minty blue with tiny shimmery flecks and Tropical Temptation which is a pinkish coral colour. Perfect spring/summer colours!

Tropical temptation - excuse the fact it's all over my hand! I only took the picture to see what the quality was like on my boyfriend's camera and intended to take one for on here when I'd sorted them out but they started to chip pretty quick so I didn't get chance :(

I also picked up this NYC duo eye shadow in Heather Plum. I'm not sure why because I never where eye shadow, especially coloured eye shadow but I was just drawn to this! I actually really like it. The dark purple isn't as pigmented as I'd like it to be (I was hoping it would look so dark it was almost black) but I still really love it!

Finally, not from the pound shop, I purchased this L'oreal lipstick in Cheeky Magenta. These are £8.19 originally but it was in the reduced section of Superdrug because it had no top and had been used. I swatched it on my hand and it was so glossy and unlike any other colour I own that I decided I should  buy it and just cut the used top off. At only £1.50, I couldn't help myself!
