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,

Halloween Beauty

I figured with my love of Halloween, a blog dedicated to some beauty products inspired by Halloween would be perfect!

So these are my most recent purchases. I've been wanting to try the Gelly nail paints from Barry M for a while, I got Satsuma and Mango. I also decided to try one of the Silk nail effects in Meadow. What could be more perfect for Halloween than a super glossy orange nail?

Barry M Gelly nail paint in Mango

The Gelly nail paints are supposed to be super hi-shine, and I think they are! The reflect light really well, and considering I broke a nail the day after painting them, it didn't even chip, so I am impressed.

A little while ago I posted in my first Beauty Haul blog that I bought one of the Barry M Nail art pens. I finally got around to giving it a go to really creep up my orange nails.

Unlike most nail art pens, this is actually built like a felt tip pen. It comes dry, and you push the nib of the pen inside the pen repeatedly to get the polish flowing, it then keeps itself ready to use. This is by far the easiest nail art pen I have ever used. Most require you to squeeze the polish out as you use it, but with this is does that for you, so you can just concentrate on actually decorating your nails, genius! I painted both hands in different patterns to show how easy it is to use, I'm mostly ambidextrous, but I much prefer writing with my left hand.

So this is my right hand, done with my dominant hand. I think that I was able to write with the pen shows how smooth is is to use. I went for polkadots, a little ghost, boo, and a french tip gone goth.

I love the cobweb I did on my thumb the most :D totally doing that all year round! (My rings are from BloodyMary Metal)

And my left hand, done with my less-used-to-write-hand. The top is supposed to be a lightening bolt which is a little wonky, then a spiral, a cobweb and a little octopus.

So smooth and easy to use. I am definitely going to look at getting this nail art pen in other colours, it currently comes in black, silver and pink, and silver is calling to me.

Eylure Nail Art Kit £2.50

The gold glitter skulls in this foil kit are just perfect for a glam Halloween look!

Lush Passionate Lipstick £14.50

Lush are all vegan and cruelty free which is amazing, I would so love to give this lip stain a go! This is a gorgeous pinky-purple colour and it makes me think of fairy tales.

I never dress up at Halloween, cause I like to live it all year round, but what are you dressing up as this year?

Much love
