Discovery // Cosmetics Fairy!

I first found about the Cosmetics Fairy website probably a few months, whilst watching one of Miss Budget Beauty's lovely haul videos. Already a massive fan of Fragrance Direct I'm always on the look for new discount websites with a good product offering. Although the choice was limited in my opinion, I managed to find some brilliant bargains. At the moment there is free delivery on orders over £10 (not sure if this a promotion or a permanent fixture) so I just couldn't help myself and picked up a few bits. Believe it or not... all but one of the items were 99p or less! What a bargain? I was one very happy girl! Here is what I purchased:

Bourjois Effet 3D Les Nudes Lipgloss in 37 Rose or Chic,  L'Oreal Project Runway Ltd Edition Blusher in 625 Audacious Amazons Blush, L'Oreal Project Runway Nail Polish in 291 The Queens Ambition, L’Oreal Infallible Lipstick in 112 Unending Kiss , L'Oreal Infallible Lip Balm Refill, Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish in 901 Golden Conduct, Bourjois Brush Foundation in 32 Rose Clair (tester size), Lash Perfect La La Lashes False Eyelashes in Desire. Maybelline Color show Fashion Nail Stickers in 05 Fierce Snake. And lastly, I don't think it is possible to browse a discount cosmetics website and not pick up an Essie nail polish (stocks permitting) so I got two Essie Mini Nail Lacquer Nail Polishes in Smooth Sailing and Braziliant.

 

I also picked up the Bourjois Ombre A Paupieres Eyeshadow Intense in T08 (not pictured) which is a shimmery dark chocolate brown shade. This came in tester packaging and was only 50p!

Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience, as the website was easy to use and the products arrived well before the estimated delivery date which was a lovely surprise. With such unbeatable prices I will definitely be shopping on Cosmeticsfairy.com again!

　

　 

Festival FOTD

 

With Autumn officially upon us and the festival season almost drawn to a close apart from the lucky ones still partying away at Bestival and Outlook over the next few days it seems the ideal time to reminisce about my festical experience this year. Camping at festivals isn't usually my thing, largely due to the ever-so reliable British weather, but this year I finally gave in and joined my friends at Creamfields... and oh boy was it amazing!!. I'm so terrible at taking selfies but managed to actually get few and thought I would share my festival face of the day with you guys.

 

 

My festival face basics included: MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation, Benefit Boi-ing Concealer, Garnier Eye Roll-on, the original Naked Palette, Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze, Maybelline Colossal Volume Mascara, Bourjois Liquid liner and when it came to lips I alternated between a Calvin Klein Lipstick in Ethereal and a Rimmel Lip Lacquer in Luna. Other items I used to jazz things up included a Wet 'n' Wild white glitter pot, Body Shop shimmer diffuser, Startgazer neon paints in pink and orange (not pictured), a Hair FX Hair Chalk in Pink and Ardell lashes in 105 (applied after the photo was taken).

 

 

And here is the finished product:

 

 

We enjoyed the festival so much that we've already got tickets for Creamfields 2015, keen much?!? Although a whole year away I am already very excited :)

Which festivals did you go to this year? Would love to know what you thought!

 

 

Oh my WOW ... Fragrance Direct Haul

 

Over the past few weeks I have discovered the wonderful fragrance direct website! But seriously, where have I been all my life? If you haven't yet discovered this gem, Fragrance direct (.co.uk) stocks well known brands of make up, skin care products and perfume/aftershave at a discounted price.

I got a little over excited and the next thing you know I ended up with ... 45 items in my basket! Dangerous! After some careful deliberation and a reality check, as hard as it was, I tried my best to whittle this down to a reasonable number. When my parcel arrived (much sooner than I anticipated -brownie points) I felt like Christmas had come early. Most of the items I purchased were priced at £1.99, with the most expensive item priced at £3.99 which was the OPI nail lacquer, but hey what a bargain! And the cheapest (I think) was the little brush and the Rimmel liquid liner at only 99p.

 

 

Here is what I got:

 

 

 

Eye Candy false lashes in 003 and 007

 

 

Calvin Klein delicious luxury lipsticks in Cream Rose and Ethereal

 

 

I think I was a little over excited with the CK range as I also got the delicious truth lipstck in the shade Retro and the delicious pout lipgloss in the shade Sparkle

Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in 220 Pink chic

 

 

 

Maybelline Colour Sensational popstick in 030 Pink lollipop

Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick in 832 Kiss pearl

 

 

L'Oreal Studio Secrets eyeshadow in blue eyes 284

Calvin Klein Tempting Glimmer creme eyeshadow in Bare silk

 

 

Bourjois Intense shimmer loose eyeshadow in 27 Sparkling blue

Maybelline Eye Studio mono in 412 Lagon blue

 

 

Rimmel Glam eyes liquid liner in 008 Aqua glow

Bourjois Khol and Contour eyeliner pencil in 13 Argent creatif

Dainty Doll eyeliner pencil in 004 Shake your tail feather

 

 

 

Essie nail lacquers in Pear and Desire which is a bright orange shade and We're in it together which is a sparkly pale pink.

 

 

L'oreal Colour Riche nail polish in Saphyr Lurex

O.P.I nail lacquer in I'm all ears

Calvin Klein splendid colour nail polish in Silverstreak

 

 

and finally, two very cute Bourjois mineral matt brushes

I have only sampled a few of the products so far and I'm very happy with my purchases. I would highly recommend Fragrance direct as you can find some absolute steals and even though I only paid for the standard delivery (5-7 days), my order arrived a few days sooner that expected so that was a nice surprise. My only issue however, was that the colour swatched provided on the website, in my opinion, are not fair representations of what the actual shade of the product looks like, so I would just be careful and double check the items at other retailers (if those products are available elsewhere).

 

Have you bought anything from Fragrance Direct? Would love to hear what your favourites were :)
