Shop Miss A Haul

It's been a little while since I featured a proper haul on the blog, and even longer for a makeup haul! I don't spend much on makeup, I'm pretty terrible at applying it, so I tend to opt for bright fun colours that suit my personality rather than anything too fancy. When I saw my friend Kiera Rose do a Youtube blog about Shop Miss A and mention they sent her some cosmetics, I was curious if any were cruelty free and had to go sneak a look.

Everything is only $1, and they actually stock several cruelty free brands, including Elf Cosmetics, Klean Color and LA Colors. For the price I was really pleasantly surprised, and thought I'd give it a go! I spent a total of $26 on cosmetics, and shipping was $9.95, which is a brilliant price for international!

Elf Cosmetics Brushes - Various

I can never have enough makeup brushes! I'm terrible for not washing them, so new brushes were a must!

Klean Colour Eye Shadow

As you can see, the green shade broke in transit. It's a shame, because they were really amazingly well packaged! It's a risk you take with pressed eye shadow and certainly won't put me off ordering from them again.

Klean Color Nail Varnish

A black glitter, and the purple is a 3D texture! I think it'll be great fun to try out. 3D textures in nail varnish do intrigue me.

Elf Cosmetics Mascara

Cruelty free mascara that is cheap is a real struggle, so I snapped this up to try!

Klean Colors Kleanista Lipstick

I love the trend for unusual shades of lipstick, so I had to give these a go!

These smell amazing, and feel really moisturising. The colour pay off was pretty good too, I wasn't expecting much at $1 and these are a bargain!

OK, so the purple is totally my favourite. I love that colour so so much, vampy gothic goodness!

The peachy colour, a nice everyday shade.

And the pinky tone, it's a bit brighter in real life.

Klean Colour Liquid Eye Liner

Liquid eye liner isn't something I've ever really gotten on board with, but I had to try these colours, and the packaging looks like a total 80's throwback which charmed me.

LA Color Jumbo Eye Liner

Electric blue, so 80's I couldn't resist, and more of a crayon style too!

The top is the LA Colors, and the bottom two are the liquid eye liners from Klean Colors. The green is gorgeous!

Klean Colour Eye Shadow

I can't resist purple and green tones in case you haven't guessed yet!

Klean Color Eye Shadow

These are loose powders, and arrived in mint condition,

Klean Color Utopia Baked Eye Shadow

Now this one intrigued me! The swirl of colours is so pretty, and the idea is that you can apply them individually, or together. I cannot wait to try this one!

I also got an Elf Cosmetics jumbo eye liner and some nail transfers that I forgot to photograph in my excitement.

I cannot wait to create different looks with these and would definitely recommend giving Shop Miss A a go! They also sell jewellery, hair accessories, charms and other accessories, all at $1. I went for the cosmetics because they are reputable brands I had heard of, I'd stay away from the body jewellery at that price, but if I order again I'm certainly going to give the hair accessories a go.

Much love,

February Favourites!

February was a seriously amazing month for me. My birthday, our engagement party, getting to see our families, wonderful! It was also a great month for some new goodies so I wanted to share some of them.

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation with SPF15 in Blondie £13.49

Animal friendly, vegan cosmetics are hard to find, but Lily Lolo fit the bill (95% of their products are vegan, with a list of what is not on their website)! I've never been one to really wear foundation or powder, because I hate the feel of products on my skin, but this feels so light I forget I'm wearing it almost instantly. It provides excellent coverage with very minimal product too, so this is going to last for a long time. It comes in a huge range of different shades to suit different skin tones, from the palest of pale through to tones designed for black skin and olive tones, which is great to see. I've got their BB cream on order too and can't wait to try out more of their range.

Here I am wearing the powder on just the side of my face with my nose ring, I can really see a huge difference. No filters or other makeup here, just natural light.

And here is the after, same natural light, but now a full face of powder and eye makeup, nothing else. Again, no filter.

Spock Socks!

Stu got me these for my birthday but they didn't arrive in time for it. They have 3D Spock ears!! How amazing is that?! I haven't worn these yet, but it seems fitting I will wear them given the tragic death of the wonderful Leonard Nimoy, a personal hero of mine.

Sugar & Vice Skull necklace £17

I donated to Sugar & Vice's Indiegogo campaign twice, and both of those perks included a voucher worth 125% of the money I donated. In February I got those vouchers and spent ages picking what I wanted to get! One thing I bought was this necklace I've been drooling over for a while. Red and black are always a good combination! I also bought a necklace as a present for someone that I will share soon.

Sugar & Vice Bone Necklace £20

Part of the Witching Hour collection, this necklace and I were always meant to be. It makes me feel like a goth Flintstone. I love the length of it, anything spooky and cute is a winner for me.

Sugar & Vice Coral Necklace £14 (custom teal mirror colour is priced differently to the standard)

I loved the shapes in the standard coral necklace so so much, but because of my skin tone I thought the colour might get a little lost, so I asked Sarah & Matt to make me it in teal mirror instead and it is gorgeous! I wanted to stick with a sea sort of colour, and this teal was perfect for that.

Philip Normal sunglasses £6 on depop

I found Philip Normal on depop and was so glad I did. They have a huge range of graphic 80's and 90's inspired prints, and vintage sunglasses. I love several of their pairs of sunglasses, but decided to pick out the one pair for now, these adorable round black and red rimmed shades. They are unisex, so if you have a large head like I do, they are really comfy! A lot of their shop is reduced on depop so have hunt on there before you buy from their store. Free shipping!

The Serpent's Club

I featured these 2 necklaces in earlier blogposts, but I just have to mention them again. If you haven't seen The Serpent's Club range, you really should! 

New Look Tube Skirt £9.99

I love this skirt! It's super cute, comfy, and according to my Nanna looks really nice on me. And I trust my Nanna on that one!

Other February favourites - our engagement party, my birthday, and seeing all my wonderful friends and family who travelled to see us.

Much love,
