Cult Beauty Haul

-
I recently took advantage of a great offer from Cult Beauty to receive a goody bag worth £300 when you spend £165.  I always save any of my big purchases in order to take advantage of these offers as the goody bag gives me an opportunity to try out loads of products that I wouldn't normally buy.  I don't have a photo of the goody bag, but it did contain products from HUDA Beauty, Tata Harper, The Ordinary, Pixi and Indie Lee to name a few.  I also received a £15 gift card in the goody bag which I have already used.

I found it so easy to spend the required amount although most of the products from The Ordinary and the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick were all out of stock which was disappointing.  In the end I bought products that I have been wanting to try for ages.

I have been desperate to try out the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream as I have heard so many good things about it.  I also wanted to try out some other products from the range so I picked up the Bum Bum (apparently it's actually pronounced Boom Boom!) Beauty Voyage set which cost £31 and contains a 75ml Bum Bum cream and a 90ml Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist.  I also bought the Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel which cost £21 for 385ml.  My first impression is that they all smell amazing.

I finally picked up the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops in the shade P30 which is a good match for my skin.  I think this is a great idea where you just add a few drops to a moisturiser, serum, primer or liquid highlighter.  This cost £36 for 15ml.

I also bought a Farmacy Strawberry Basil Lip Bloom which is a lip balm and cost £14 for 7g.

In addition I have been wanting to purchase something from the Nurse Jamie range.  I decided to buy the Beauty Bear Age Delay Pillow, which is really weird looking as you can see.
Cult Beauty Haul
I bought this for £65, but it's currently £56 on Cult Beauty (typical).  It's designed to cradle the face and neck and improve the quality of sleep.  It also helps to minimise fine lines and creases (I have definitely noticed less creases on my face every morning when I wake up).  The curve in the front of the pillow is for people who sleep on their back and the 2 parts that stick out of the side are for side sleepers.  I actually do both and I found it really comfy when sleeping on my back.  It was a bit weird at first when I slept on my side, but I worked out that I was resting the side of my face at the wrong part of the pillow, so I just adjusted it and found it really good to use.

Overall I am really happy with the products that I bought and there are also loads of great products to try out from the goody bag, so I am sure you will see more reviews about all the products coming soon on my blog.

Did you take advantage of any of the goody bag offers recently?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
