BaubleBar Haul

-

So I did a bit of a spring update recently from an affordable jewellery online store; Bauble Bar. First let me start with the packaging. All these bulky statement necklaces came in a slim cardboard box that when the lid is lifted, reveals a bright pink interior - got me there!

On top was a gorgeous matching pink first time buyer item. This was a small gold bar pendant necklace. I was super stockade to see this because the longer version has been sold out for a while on their website. Very sweet and a amazing inclusion that I wasn't even expecting!! It also came with a green envelope that thanked me for my order and a copy of an invoice.

The items are carefully packed in the box, with this black and white stripped paper covering it all. It made unwrapping the box so much more exciting and luscious. I was surprised again when each item is in its own storage pouch, with bubble wrap and cleaning instructions. I can tell my times were very safe during transit.

So far I am really impressed with the presentation of the shipping packaging. I don't care about because I know that it's the actual items that I ordered but it's refreshing to have a company that makes this side of it more glamorous and fun.

Anyway moving to the items themselves.Starting on the left, I got this arrow tip bangle in silver as aI wanted a simple bracelet to wear with my watch on days when I don't want a huge arm party.

Right we have this purple, teal and orange statement necklace. I love the purple and want to start bringing his colour into my wardrobe and I thought this would be a good start to get comfortable with.

Last item on the top row is a silver pave zigzag necklace. Simple yet stunning. It's a great layering piece and thats how I intend to wear it. That is huge for Autumn/ Spring.

Moving to the bottom row on the very left is maybe one of my favourite pieces and its this gunmetal mint and crystal statement necklace. I couldn't get passed the beauty of it. It's so much better in person then online and thought I could dress up a chambray shirt or any basic tshirt.

Lastly and the only earrings, is these white dangling earrings. I like how there is a touch of sparkle to them so they aren't too dressy and a pair of earrings that I could wear with any outfit and colour considering white is a neutral colour.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
