A surprise bargain haul!

Hey!
I hope everyone has had a lovely Saturday! I can't believe how lovely the weather has been! It's imposible to be miserable when the sun is shining! Anyway I went to an outlet centre in Braintree today as my Mum wanted to get a radley bag. While we were there I found a shop called "All Wellan Good" they had some really good stuff!! Loads of bedhead products, perfumes, skincare but of course I was instantly drawn to the make up! They don't have a huge range of brands but they do have some NYX, Urban Decay and Revlon products! They also had a lot of products on sale from the already discounted price! So this is what I picked up , I spent the grand total of £27.70!

I really wanted to get some of the Girls Aloud lashes but they were sold out when I got to Superdrug so I was really happy when I found these! They are really different than any of the lashes I already have and they were only £3.50 each!

These are the eyeshadows I got,
NYX trio opal/platinum silver/luster which was reduced to £2.95
Revlon Soft On The Eyes in Head in the clouds reduced to £2.95
Urban Decay loose pigment shadow in Shattered for £5.95, I already have two of these and paid full price for them at Boots which is about £12!!
My ultimate bargain of the day Urban Decay Matte shadow in Chronic for £1!!! This was the only shade they had but I love it! This is my first Matte shadow from Urban Decay and the texture is amazing, its so soft and silky!

I picked up a NYX diamond sparkle lipstick in Sparkling Silk. This was on sale for £1.95 and as soon as I saw it I thought of MAC Bubbles! I skipped on Bubbles as I really didn't want to spend that much money on a lipstick I wasn't sure I would use much! Obviously at £1.95 this was much more affordable and I actually really like it!

Here are some swatches of the lip products from left to right: NYX Sparkling Silk lipstick £1.95, NYX Goddess of the night gloss in Pink Frost £3.95 and NYX Diamond sparkle gloss in Copper Sparkle £1.95


I am going to have lots of fun playing with this stuff tomorrow! Today I was wearing my new favourite eyeshadow combination of MAC Vex & Shale, its so simple but I really like it!

Have you ever been to one of these shops? Found any good bargains?

NYX Haul!

Hey!

I am so behind!!!! Spent way too much money last week and this is the first of 3 hauls, I also have a mini MAC haul and some more ELF stuff. There will be no shopping this week though as I will be spending enough on Hello Kitty next week!!!

Anyway, after hearing so much about NYX I really wanted to try them. When I was in New York in January I looked all over for them but couldn't find them anywhere! Then a couple of weeks ago Lollipop26 posted a video about an online store that sells NYX products! I went over and placed an order and it arrived yesterday, the postage was really reasonable. Anyway the website is http://www.mscuppycakes.com/ and I would highly recommend both it and the products! So here is what I got and some swatches without a base.







These are the Jumbo eyepencils, they make great bases!

These are the round lipsticks, they are really nice and since they are only $1.25 you can't really go wrong!


There is a huge selection of these on the website and also all the other types of makeup NYX do and they are all really reasonably priced, they are actually cheaper than on the NYX website. They also stock Red Cherry eyelashes and they are only $2!!
Hope this helps anyone that was looking for these products! If you have tried NYX let me know if there is anything I must have or that you would recommend!
