IMATS 2014 Haul

IMATS 2014 Haul

My IMATS haul.

So I went all out and repurchased the whole of the Sugarpill Sparkle baby colours. I broke one of them and messed up another when I didn’t have my new storage unit (video coming soon!). I also went for Olivia. It’s such a great shade and I can not wait to use it.

I also went back to the EyeKandy stall because I am running out of the sugar that you use to turn glitter into eyeliner. I ended up buying the black glitter because it was a bargain!

I also stopped by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics because I wanted the Tarred and Feathered duo. I ended up buying pool boy because the pigmentation is simply awesome. I really don’t need another blue but I am sure I can use it.

Lastly at the back are a couple of real looking temporary tattoos. They’re made by a company called Tattooed Now. I have one on my arm that they were doing for free and it looked good for about three days before it started rubbing off. They do custom ones as well, so check them out.

The one thing I did forget was Karla Powells face charts. I spent a long time watching her work but I didn’t get to talk to her as she had so many people wanting to do the same. I completely blanked that I wanted them, plus I didn’t see them for sale. It is possible they’d all gone by the Sunday.

MakeUp Revolution Haul July 2014

MakeUp Revolution Haul July 2014

My latest haul from MakeUp Revolution.

There’s the new blusher from the I ♥ Makeup range. It looks like a great dupe for Too Faced version. I can’t wait to try it out. I also got the purple lipstick from this range. It’s a nice dark purple and I don’t think have anything like it.
I also got the sheer lips gloss tubes. My favourite so far is ‘Move a little closer’. It’s so glittery!
‘Welcome to the Pleasuredome’ is one of the LTD salvation palettes. It looks so good for smoky eyes.
There’s also an interesting liquid blusher. Not something I’ve tried before.
Lastly the Blush and Contour in Sugar and Spice. I love the fact it includes a bronzer, highlighter and blushes. It’s all in one really.

Which one would you like to try?

Illamasqua Haul (and a broken blusher)

Illamasqua Haul (and a broken blusher)

So I made an order in the Illamasqua sale. Just a four items, ordered on a Sunday night. It included a cream foundation, two nail varnishes and one blush. I don’t own any blush but the description for Sophie got me all excited. It was also the most expensive piece in the order.

I waited and it finally got dispatched on the Wednesday. It arrived on the Friday. I opened the parcel all excited and found this….

Illamasqua-delivery

I knew straight away the blusher was broken. I was hoping it wasn’t too much.

Illamasqua-sophie-blush-broken

Little by little my hopes started to die.

illamasqua-sophie-blush-broken-2

Oh dear…

Illamasqua-sophie-blush-broken-3

Not a chance of recovering this. Not at all.

I’ve checked the other products but they’re all fine. Nothing wrong with them, other than a little covered in blusher. So I emailed them through the website, less than half an hour after the delivery. The box on the site doesn’t allow me to include pictures and so far I’ve had no response. I’ll keep you update on this one.

All I want is a replacement.

EDIT: So it took about a month for this to get sorted. Illamasqua wanted me to send it back and they needed a receipt for the postage. After working out how the hell to do that, I never got the postage refunded. So I am very unhappy.
