Today is another haul of beauty bits & pieces that I have picked up from Penny's (Primark), Random Irish pharmacies (Drugstores) & also gifts. So I'll I can say is sit back, relax & enjoy! Leave me a comment below with your thoughts on any of the products I have mentioned here today or any new products you have picked up lately. i would love to hear about them.

Also don't forget to add me on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or SNAPCHAT for realtime mini reviews, Mini hauls & update goings on!! See you there!!

Lets get this show on the road then shall we (I will warn you now there are a lot of products here) -

Wet & Wild Photo Finish Foundation

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago when I was in need of a new foundation. Unfortunately there is no L'Oreal stand anywhere near me. There is however a Wet & Wild stand so I decided it was time once again to start experimenting with new foundations. This was one I picked up. I didn't actually hear any reviews about it until after I picked it up for myself. All the reviews I have seen so far have been positive. I have worn it a couple of times but not enough to give it a full review. That will be coming soon.

Wet & Wild Coverall Cream Foundation

This is another one I thought I would try out. I haven't actually tried it yet but I will be posting a full review of this also in the upcoming weeks.

P.S. 2Pk Silicone Sponges

I genuinely picked this up because I thought it was wierd. The look, the texture, the shape..... wierd. I thought it might be a fun thing to try out and tell you guys about and if it works then win, win.

P.S. Plumping Vitimin E Sheet Mask

Pennys have been doing a lot of skincare recently and I haven't actually tried that much so I thought it was about time to give it a go!! I picked up a couple masks!

P.S. Cranberry Lip Patch

Essence - Get Picture Ready - Brightening Concealer

This was a new product to arrive at the Essence stand. I think the thought process of this product is kind of along the lines of the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer that everyone went crazy for. (I personally have never tried it. I know #badblogger) Anyhoo I thought I would give it a shot & see how it works out.

P.S. Foundation

The final product I have to show you is another foundation!! I think it was the YouTuber Kate from Kates Beauty Station that raved about this and said that She used it everyday so I had to give it a go. I just hope I picked up the right one!!

Well looks like I'm going to be a busy girl!! testing out all these products. Keep a close eye on my social media for up-to-date mini reviews!! Also leave me a comment down below if you have tried any of these products & your thoughts on them!! Or if you have any recommendations of any new products you either love and think I would like to try or that you would like me to test out for you!!

Beauty Haul!! (Makeup Revolution, Pennys/Primark, Blank Cosmetics, Wet & Wild)

Hey Beauties, 

Today I have another haul for you guys!! I did a little shopping in the past couple of weeks & this is a collective haul of new beauty products & tools. I picked these up in Pennys and random Pharmacies. *Side note - I love pharmacies in Ireland. You always find random stalls of different makeup brands which are primarily based in the UK or the States such as Physicians Formula, Freedom, The Balm & Makeup Revolution. They usually start in random pharmacies & then filter out to the wider market. Take NYX for example I could only find it in small random stalls & now the have priority in Boots. Anyway these are the kinds of places I found the makeup I am about to show you. I am so excited to start playing with it all and giving you guys reviews. 

Makeup Revolution, I Heart Makeup - Salted Caramel Palette - €12

I was so excited to see this stand. I remember seeing the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palettes everywhere for the past couple of years. I remember feeling, on the one hand so jealous as I wanted to play with it but also I know with amount of makeup I currently possess and the fact that I am trying to live more minimally, appreciating my possessions and achieving financial & travel goals for 2017 there was no way I could justify paying out that money for another palette. When I spotted these palettes on a stand for the first time I was so happy. I picked this baby up knowing it to be a dupe for the Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette for €12!! I know that although its a dupe it wont be exact however I also know the quality of these shadows is great and I cant wait to play with. I will definitely be giving you guys a review of this product as an independent product and not as a dupe. (also you maybe notice on one of the photos there is some animal print going on. That is not part of the design, its actually a reflection of the shirt I was wearing when taking the photo.... I think it kinda works though so I used the photo anyway! #bloggerproblems)

  

Makeup Revolution - Lip Lava Motlen Chocolate - €4.50

Any guesses to why I picked up this little product?? Yes most of you probably guessed right. This product has been duped for the Too faced Melted Lipstcks or the OCC Lip Tars, more products that I have always wanted to try. I got the shade Naked Chocolate. It was the one I was most drawn to in the shelf. I picked this baby up for €4.50!! If I fall for these products I will definitely be considering picking up their higher end counterpart.

Blank Canvas Cosmetics, Dome Buffer Brush - €14.99

For months now I have been so tempted by these brushes I have heard such great things about them but again as I genuinely have more brushes and tools in my collection than I can currently count I have always put it off..... until now. I caved! What can I say... I'm weak... sue me. #sonotsorry.

Pennys Lip Liner - €1.50

I love Pennys Lip liners & I couldnt resist picking another one at €1.50 a pop - #winning Here I picked up the shade - Desert Sand. Its a very 'Kylie Jenner' shade & I love it!

Pennys Mascara - €1.50

I am still on my never ending quest to find my perfect mascara so now that I'm in need of a new one I found this just hanging out on the shelf calling my name. The quality of Pennys make is getting stronger and stronger so you never know #fingerscrossed

Pennys Eyebrow Pencil - €1.50

For a long time now I have been using powder to fill in my brows & I find that it works really well for me. However I have been getting bored lately & decided to branch out and try new things. I decided to opt for pencil as it seems like it might be reliable and also maybe travel friendly #winwin I picked this up in the shade - Medium.

Wet & Wild - Colouricon Bronzer SPF 15 - Reserve Your Cabana - €4.95

I was in need of a new bronzer as unfortunately mine bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago when it fell on the floor and smashed. Luckly the lid was still closed so I have been able to use it but realistically it was time to invest again. If you have been with for a long time (Thank you) then you will know that for the longest time I have been using the Catrice - Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder (One of my holy grail products) However, even though I do love that product so much & will be purchasing it again I decided it was finally time to branch out so I decided to pick up this one. I spotted it a couple of months ago and it intrigued me but I couldn't justify buying it as I already had my other one at the time. This one looks so light but I'm going to give ago anyway and see how I get on. Stay tuned for updates!!  

So thats my little haul!! I am so happy with my purchases and cant wait to now start playing with them!! Stay tuned for updates or you can check out my SNAPCHAT - beautylalinda Here I post mini reviews & updates in real time. 

Have you tried any of these products? What were your thoughts on them? Any advice or recommendations for future purchases??

Haul Time!! (Includes New Products from Essence)

Hello Beauties,

Happy Friday!! On fridays I usually have a First Impressions or Review for you guys but today I thought I would share something a little different. I have a haul!! Hope you enjoy!!

I really didn't think I would be doing a haul anytime soon as this year is my year of trying to save money & also I have gotten into minimalism alot lately #Slayingit2017. However I need to pick up a new mascara & a new concealler, so I decided to pop over to the Essence stand to see if they had any offers going. What I found instead however, is a whole array of new products that had just launched. So I picked up a few items. I spent E16.40 in total on Essence products so I don't feel that bad about my haul & I also picked up so pretty cool new products to try out. 

This is not a review as I haven't tried any of these yet. It is just a haul to share what I picked up. Enjoy!! 

Essence Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension Mascara E3.80

There were a few new mascaras available on the stand but this is the one that caught my eye. I love anything that says "Lash Extension", My dream is to have full, long, fluttering lashes!! So hopefully this will do the job!! I really like the packaging too!!

Essence Camouflage Full Coverage Concealler E3.10

I decided to try out their new concealer. Full coverage makes me think it might be too heavy for under the eyes but it does claim it is for covering dark circles so we will give it a whirl! I got it in the lightest shade available 05 Ivory.

Essence My Must Haves (Single Eyeshadows) E1.90 each

These are the products I am really excited about & made me break my budget as I really didn't need them but I just couldn't resist!! They are after launching DIY 4 pan palates with about 30 shadows to choose from! At E1.90 a pop I really couldn't walk away. I decided to go for a neutrally palate as I thought it would be a great way to try them out. I swatched them in the store & they seemed to have good pigmentation so lets hope that is still the case when I try to blend them on the lid!!! I will definitely be going back to pick up more if they perform well!! 

Essence My Must Haves Eyeshadow Palate E1.90

Well it would be pretty pointless to get the shadows & not the palate to go with it wouldn't? So I popped this in my basket too!! The first thing that came to mind with these was travelling. If these shadows are good these DIY palates would be perfect & compact!! I have arranged them in the shades (left - right) 09 chilli vanilli, 07 mauvie time, 03 miss foxy roxy, 18 black as berry 

Lacura Body Care 4 Blades Sensitive Razor E3.99 & Refills E3.99

Ok this is obviously not Essence, I picked this up in aldi. As a brand I really like Lacura. I love their serums & have a full review of the Aqua Complete one here - Full Review || Lacura Aqua Complete Multi Intensive Serum So when I saw this product I was very happy. I love razors with the disposable heads, however they are so expensive. I usually use Gillette which I love but not only is the razor pretty pricy but the refills are too, to be honest right now its not in my budget so I have been using disposable ones. However when I spotted these I thought if they work I'm sorted!! Neither the razor (which includes 2 heads) or the refills (Pack of 4) are too expensive so fingers crossed they do the job well!! 

Of course I will be keeping you guys updated & doing reviews on all the products mentioned above in the upcoming weeks!! Please leave me a comment down below & tell me all about any new products you have picked up recently or if you have tried & have any thoughts on any of the products I have mentioned in this post! I'd love to hear them!!

Pennys / Primark Haul

Hey Everyone, 

Today I have a little haul for you guys. Since I moved from the city, months at a time go by without venturing into Pennys / Primark these days!! So I was extremely reserved and showed great restraint when I took a wander around yesterday. I wasn't in their for long & I also picked up a new HP Pavillion x2 (My old baby is no longer up to the task so I need a new one & decided for the moment I wanted something a bit more flexible as its a laptop & a tablet, but also travel friendly. This was the perfect option for me for right now! I love it! Its my new little baby!) so I couldn't really justify a Pennys shopping spree on top of that!! However I did pick up a couple of things..... Wana see??? 

*On a side note - Can you believe we are in autumn already!? #myfavouriteseason 

Rose Gold (effect) Chain Detail Necklace

The minute I spotted this I knew I had to have it in my life!! I love it!! I think its the perfect accessory to jazz up any outfit. It was just what I was looking for so I was delighted to pick up this little baby for only E5!!! WIN!

PS... Love This - Flawless Finish Foundation Brush

Okay so I have heard EVERYONE talking about the Oval Style Artis brushes, but lets be real as much as I like to try out new brushes these are super expensive & right now I dont have it in my budget. However that doesn't mean I'm not interested in the concept so I couldn't pass up the PS... Love This range oval style brush for E4. I can't wait to try it out & I actually love that its rose gold (are you sensing a theme here!? Haha)

PS... Individual False Lashes

I had to pick up another pack of my favourite lashes!! I have (as many of you already know) raved about these before!! If you would like to read my full review you can just click here - Review - PS... Eyelashes

PS... Blender Sponge

I dont think I have ever talked about this before but I actually really like this sponge. I have never used the Beauty Blender so I can in no way do a comparison (I will try it some day I promise haha) but I like this one. Its quite firm & I like that. I use it both wet & dry. I use it on its own for foundation & concealer and I also use it as a finishing touch after using a brush for application. This is my second blender sponge. I just felt like it was time to get a new one & again at an amzing price E1!!  

Essence Velvet Sticks

In a previous haul, which was an essence haul, I picked up the glossy stick thinking it was these Matt Velvet ones. I was a little bit gutted even though I do like that one. If you missed my Essence haul & would like to check it out you can click on the link here ~ Essence Haul. I really wanted to try these ones as I am still very much in love with the matt lip trend. I picked up two shades. I picked up the shade 01 Nude Hero & 02 Peony Star. Both of these shades are very much me shades, a nude & a mauvey colour. I cant wait to try them out. I will keep you updated!!

Matt Matt Matt Longlasting Lipgloss

Again we have another trend, matt. I saw this and I think its new as I haven't anything like this on the Essence display before. It is in the shade 01 La Vie Est Belle. It is kind of a bubblegum / mauvey pink. It claims that it is a longlasting creamy lipgloss for velvet - matt lip, that doesn't dry out the lips & has high coverage.... we shall see...

So that was my Rose Gold / Matt inspired haul haha, I really didn't plan it & to be honest I didn't even notice until I sat down to write this! However I am very happy with my purchases. Although I am trying to stay on a budget these days, trying to manage my money better, I am very happy with my budget friendly shopping spree where I spent a total of E19.40 !!

Have you picked up anything nice recently that you would like to share?? Leave me a comment & let me know!

Or if you have tried any of the products that I purchased today, what were your thoughts!?

Whats New in Essence - Essence Haul!

Hello Everyone!

Today I have a haul for you guys. This is kind of an impromptu post. As many of you will already know if you follow my Twitter (Click here to add me & say hi!! Beauty_La_Linda - Twitter) I am moving shortly. I have been at home now since September, which is longer than I originally intended but the time is soon coming for the 25 year old baby to fly the nest once again.... *sadface...

However what you wont know is that where I am moving to, while I have a house & a Job set up, is kinda remote (as in back a*se of nowhere) which means I have a lot of buying of things in bulk i.e beauty related things. The nearest proper town for shopping is over an hour away... & as I dont drive (bain of my life) I will be unable to get things I need quickly & easily. Honestly I feel like Im packing to move into the jungle or desert or something.. its crazy! I am a city girl, I like things to be at my convenience & for things to be available pretty much 24/7.... (I case you wondering Ive checked the WiFi situation & we are good!) 

Anyway while I was out picking stuff up I came across an Essence stand & they had a load of new items on display, so naturally I just had to pick some up to try out... right!? Makes sense to me! (P.s. you can probably expect some more hauls soon with all the things I have to pick up in preparation of the move)

Wana take a look at what I got?? 

Mosaic Blushes

                   

These just looked SO Pretty! I couldn't possibly leave them there! Good thing I needed new blushes *winkyemoji*  I got the colours (From left - right) 30. Kissed by the Sun & 10. Miss Floral Coral! Can wait to give these bad boys a go!!

Prettifying Lip Oil

I have not tried this yet but I love the concept of it. I have not seen any other drugstore/highstreet makeup brand bring out a lip oil (let me know in the comments if Im wrong but I dont remember ever seeing one). I know that Clarins have one, but I would exactly call that highstreet & I have yet to try it even though I have seen some great reviews!  They have 3 different colours available, one pink & one red. I chose this one because I dont like when my lips are too pigmented looking naturally. I dont know why, I have just always been that way with my lips. Plus I thought I might use this as a night oil lip thingy if it was good. I got the shade 01. I care for you, honey. I will keep you updated!!

Glossy Stick

These are also a new item. Funny story about this... I meant to pick up a matt one, as they have matt sticks too. Oh well. They have many different shades The one I picked up is 02 Clear Nude as I have yet to get out of this "Kylie Jenner" brown nude love affair! I will be back to pick up the Matt version of it. I am much more of a matt girl!

Long lasting Lipsticks

   

They have new shades!!! I love this formula so much (I mean you have heard me rave on & on about it in the past year!) Now unfortunately I was not the first one to find this stand... even though it was like 10am... clearly the stand had been there a couple of days, so most of the shades were gone but I picked up this divine shade called 21. Tres Chic Once again I will be back to pick up more. They also had new lipglosses & new lipsticks called Velvet Matts but again the shades I wanted were all gone!!

The Gel - Nail Polish

Now if you know me by now then you know I can never resist their nail polish range! Their colours are so amazing! Speaking of which I dont think my camera is doing them justice! I got them in the shades 47 Va-Va-Voom Which is a beautiful coral but is showing up much more orange in the photo & 38. Love is in the Air which is much more of a baby pastel yellow in real life! If you like nail varnish at all you should really check out the Essence stand!! So much choice!

Long Lasting Eye Pencil

   

Now Im not sure if this is new but I dont think Ive ever tried it before so I said Id give it a go!! I  got the shade 01. Black Fever .

& Thats all folks! I will be sure to get back to you & let you know how I got on!! 

Have you tried any of these yet!? 

What did you think?? 

Do you have other products you would recommend for me to try out!?  

Leave me know in the comments what you favourite Essence product is!!
