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!
