Collective Haul | Beauty Bay | Superdrug | Primark | Budget Brands.

Oh hiiii!!! 

Guess who's back... Back again... Leya's back... Tell yo friends!! 

(Now I have that freaking song in my head)

It's the beginning of a fresh new week and a new set of goals. All mine are failing miserably right now. We wont even touch on that subject. 

My brother has pizza right now and I WANT ONE!! I had god damn lettuce leaves, yes, leaves. I would of had one if I hadn't of eaten crap all day. I cannot wait for Autumn so I can exercise again properly. In this muggy little heat I cannot function let alone rip my muscles to shreds. Ha. 

You guys should know me by now... I am an addict. 

My name is Leya and I am addicted to makeup and just shopping in general. 

Now, I am not one of those who has to be shopping all the time, I just like picking things up that I genuinely need or it has caught my eye for one reason or another.  

Beauty Bay is quickly becoming my new found favourite addiction. There's free shipping over £15 and they stock a lot of the American products that aren't readily available in the UK. 

My favourite brands are particularly Morphe, Makeup Geek and LA Girl. There are so many more brands I want to try though. I REALLY want the ABH Moonchild Glow Kit but you can't get it here and it's limited edition. Just like me. :D 

You can find the link to Beauty Bay on my page, go spend your money. You won't regret it. This is my third order.

As it is so simply put in the title of this post, you know it's a haul. This time it is a collective as I have bought some other bits and bobs too from other stores. I visited Superdrug and good old Primark. I didn't go OTT, I was pretty stable.

I have decided to post this haul because everything I bought is extremely affordable and easily accessible!! 

Lets GO!!

Yes you can see correctly!! I FINALLY got one of the most sort after palettes there is and that's the Morphe 350M. If you read my previous posts you would of known that I had tried for months and months to get my hands on the original 350 palette but it sold out soooo quickly. It's like everyone inhaled it. I never stood a chance. SO, when Beauty Bay warned us the complete matte version was coming out the next day I was on that shit man. I set my alarm to wake up extra early (I am sad, I don't give any carebares) so I could clean Cody (my Guinea pig) out and at least brush my teeth. 

I got it!! YAS!!! I love working with matte makeup, especially eyeshadows' so this palette is perfect for me. The tones are incredible and 100% my style and I cannot wait to use it. 

This is everything I bought in my Beauty Bay haul. I have a thaaang for LA Girl too right now, as mentioned and also Makeup Geek. I bought the empty Morphe Palette to put all my single pans in. This beauty was just a little over £5, which is hella amazing as it fits the MG pans in perfectly. I need three more pans to complete my palette (which is magnetic) and I now want, Corrupt, Shimma Shimma and Morocco (all MG). 

This empty pallet is a complete steal at over £5 compared to how much the Z palettes are. I am sooo happy with this and it's super cute!

In all its glory, the 350M palette. Forget look at "that glow though". Look at those tones though. They are so Autumnal, it's me in a freaking palette guys! This was just over £19. 

MG - Chickadee, Morphe - Blackberry.

The Makeup Geek is just under £5 and the Morphe one is a barg at just under £2. 

Can I get a "hell yeah"!

LA Girl is such a cheap brand but really is good quality considering their prices. The blue is an eyeliner, it's not as 'electric' as I wanted it but for under £2 who's complaining. The Berry colour is a lip liner. I have tried this on and I love it. This was £2.49 and the liner pen is super thin and I wanted to try that out for size. That was £4. 

 I have this concealer in the orange corrector and love it so I wanted the lightest shade concealer they do so I can place it on top of my foundation, under my eyes to create the whole light and shade thang. 

Finally in this order I bought the Morphe M135 brush to blend out my shadow under my eyes. I am yet to see how this fairs but I am impressed with their other brushes so far. I think this was like £2.

I have been looking for a night cream to pop on and whilst browsing through Superdrug on Friday I found these bad boys. Both under £2 - I know right. The cream is on offer, so head in there and get it. 

I needed new Micellar water and have tried all of these in the range bar this one. I wasn't keen on the blue one, the pink is currently my favourite and this one looks cool. I'll let everyone know via SM how I get on. I bought my trusty concealer as always and I actually re-purchased the L'Oreal Infallible foundation. I tried the one I had when I won their competition and fell in love and used it all. And this L'Oreal Extraordinary hair oil was on offer for £2 so I picked that up too. 

The final shop I went into was Primark, I picked up a couple of things but I am waiting for the Autumn/Winter things to finally drop before I go in there fully.

I fell in love with this scarf because of the colouring. I was imagining this teamed with a long-line duster jacket, ripped jeans and boots. 

If you know me, you will know I am never too far away from a hot water bottle, this is an essential for me (B12 issues) so it's always handy to have one seeing as I have no man to cuddle up to. 

*Get the violins out* 

Makeup bag to chuck into one of my bags when I am swapping about so I have all my essentials with me at ALL times. 

I LOVE these little fairy lights!! I got them as a prop for my blog pics but right now they are on my dressing table shining bright like a copper diamond. 

Come on how snazzy is this sweat. I love everything about it. Although I wish they made them longer. I really like the holographic pattern on it and the fact it's white is always great for Instagram photes... Not so much when you get makeup down it. 

And breathe.... We are all done!!

Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette | First Impressions | Review | Makeup Look.

Happy Thursday guys. Almost the weekend!! 

I hope everyone reading is well?! 

I cannot believe it's almost been a week since my birthday. Time is flying by so fast and it makes me feel so sick that I still don't have a job. I know in each post I write I have been mentioning this but it's a way to vent and I am getting quite worried now as to why I am not getting anything. Anyone else in the same boat as me? 

As I mentioned it was birthday Sunday just gone, so as a little present from me to me I treated myself to a cheeky Beauty Bay order. I purchased an LA Girl - orange correction concealer, a Morphe crease blending brush, Makeup Geek's 'Creme Brulee' eyeshadow pan and finally the Violet Voss 'Holy Grail' palette. 

Now, this palette is highly sort after, limited edition and as soon as it comes into stock it has disappeared minutes later. Last time this palette came into stock I didn't get the chance to buy it as it sold out so quickly. 

You can only get this in America, mainly, so when it comes into stock on Beauty Bay everyone is flying at it. 

I was so happy that I managed to get my hands on this palette because the colours are SO freaking beautiful. Totally up my street and so warm which is the tone I love to work with the most. 

The Holy Grail palette retails at around £35 on Beauty bay and has a few similar shades to Anastasia's 'Modern Renaissance' palette and is still cheaper. 

When I first opened my package and the palette was revealed to me, my initial thought was - 'it's a lot smaller and thinner than I expected'. 

The packaging the palette comes in is monochrome which I love, it's super sleek, expensive looking and chic. 

The above pic is of the outer packaging and on the inside the palette is protected in bubble wrap, this is why I thought the palette was thicker in depth. 

The palette itself matches the box but the palette is made out of a soft, velvet style texture which is easily markable but not so much wipeable. Take care in that.

The name of the palette 'Holy Grail' is a statement in itself and is basically suggesting that this palette is all you're going to need, what you're going to reach for and one of which you will highly recommend. 

I for one, TOTALLY AGREE!! 

This has got to be my favourite palette right now. No word of a lie. I am super glad I invested in the hype because it is 100% worth it.  

There is nothing not like about this palette. The shadows themselves are highly pigmented, you really don't need a lot on your brush to get an amazing colour payoff. The payoff it true to pan and they are so buttery and blend beautifully. 

The palette consists of matte shades and shimmer shades and if you spray a little Fix Plus spray before applying the shimmer the colours' really pop. I am so impressed it's unreal. 

This palette is totally suitable for all skin types in my opinion and there are colours within the palette that everyone will like. 

Perfect for autumnal looks let me tell you. 

Check out that pay off, it's super cute!! 

The swatch above is from one light swipe, can I get an "amen"!

Another thing I like is the names of each colour, they are really thought out and clever. 

I am totally in love right now. 

Below are swatches of the whole palette so you can get an idea of what they look like. 

Obviously I am a pale face so they will show up different on different skin tones but ya get me. 

N/B - Tones starting from my wrist are the swatches from the top left of the palette through to the last pan on the bottom right. 

 You get 20 shadows within this palette and to me that's pretty good value for money. I love all the colours, especially the warm mattes and the cranberries. 

As soon as this comes back in stock again you NEED to get this a.s.a.p. It really is a must-have, a staple 'HOLY GRAIL' in your makeup collection and I would totally recommend to EVVVVERRRRYYYONEE!! :) 

Below is an eye look that I created with this palette. 

I decided to do a dramatic cut crease using the shades 'Transition' 'Hashtag' and 'Bestie' in the crease line. 'Brownie Points' and 'Teddy Bear' in the outer crease. I used 'Toffee' and 'Awesome Sauce' on the lid and finally on the inner lower lash line I used 'Wine N Dine' mixed with a separate purple shadow. I then added some glitter to the lower lash line and the black/brown you can see is my gel liner in which I smudged out mixed with 'Brownie Points' and 'Teddy Bear'. 

The lashes are Vagas Nay - 'Grand Glamour'. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post, the review and my makeup look.

Beauty Bay Haul & Experience | FT Morphe, Zoeva, Lit Cosmetics, Makeup Geek & LA Girl

Evening beauties!! 

I hope y'all are fine and dandy. 

I am a little fed up today. Ha. 

Trying to stay positive though as good things come to those who wait and all that. :) 

Yeah right! Ha, does anyone ever believe that?!

Is anyone in the UK suffering with this disgusting, muggy heat that we are experiencing at night?! 4 nights in a row now I haven't been able to sleep because of the suffocating warmth. Literally it has gotten to the point where you have removed every item of clothing and you're contemplating taking your skin off as well. 

Ha. 

I JUST WANT TO SLEEP DAMN IT. 

:) 

I have been back and forth on whether I should order from Beauty Bay for a while now, if you don't know they are an online beauty retailer who stocks a lot of items in which you can't always get in the UK. I had placed many things in my basket but being jobless at the moment they kind of stayed there. I recently sold a lot of new makeup that I had and wasn't going to use so I thought I would buy the things in my basket at some point. I was in no rush.

I saw on Twitter that they were having a buy one get one free offer on the Makeup Geek eyeshadow pans and I was on that shit like a kid on cake. I was there. 

They were selling out MEGA QUICK but I managed to get the pans I wanted bar 2 which were - Creme Brulee and Roulette and I think there was actually a foiled one that disappeared too. They all ended up being half price because I think the day before the BOGOF offer wasn't working for people. 

I ordered 5 of the Makeup Geek eyeshadow pans, one of the Morphe pans, the rose gold Zoeva eye brush set, the Morphe 35B palette and blending crease brush, Lit Cosmetics glitter kit and LA Girls HD lose powder to bake with. I got a free gift with that too. 

I had to order the Morphe palette and brush separately as I was trying to keep my order to £100 but I put the others on my credit card. 

Whoops. 

My order went through and I went off to the Busted gig and didn't think about it again... Until I hit social media that is. 

EVERYONE was kicking off about the Makeup Geek offer, I mean everyone. I wasn't too bothered as I got some that I wanted. Now what put the fear of God into me was that everyone was complaining that they hadn't received shipping confirmation for their next day deliveries. I hadn't either. 

I did panic a bit because some people were getting theirs the next day and mine still kept saying 'processing'. I ordered on the Saturday, I phoned them on the Monday as my order statuses hadn't changed at all. I was told I would receive my things on Tuesday. 

I was cool with that. 

I do think however the problem was the lack of communication from Beauty Bay in regards to deliveries and confirmations as I wouldn't of been worried if it wasn't for everyone else. It did put me off. 

I did feel for Beauty Bay though because everyone was kicking off at them and I don't think they realised how popular Makeup Geek was and a lot of people tried order but the site wouldn't let them and then they sold out. 

I am sure it will all be sorted. 

I was so excited when my parcels came on Tuesday and this is what I bought. 

A lot of the items were on my b'day wishlist in which I posted the other week. 

Enjoy :) 

I cannot wait to use this pallet. I think I may do so tomorrow!! I love bright colours on the eyes A LOT!!! I want the much sort after 350 palette when it comes back into stock. 

If it ever does that is! 

I have wanted these brushes for years now and have always been on a wishlist of some sort. So, seeing as I never got them I bought them as an early birthday present from me to me. 

Ha. As you do. 

I thought I would see what all the hype was about with the Makeup Geek shadows. Can't wait to use these either! From top left to bottom right; Duochrome - Backlight, Peach Smoothie, foiled - Starry Eyed, Cocoa Bear and Bitten. I also got a single Morphe eyeshadow pan too.  

 And there you have it. My quite expensive haul. 

I cannot wait to start using it all. Had to wait so I could take the pics for this post. 

It has killed me!! Ha.
