Haul: iHerb.com


I made a purchase on iHerb a while ago. They were having 10% off real techniques brushes plus $5 discount code. Which made the order really cheap. After you make a purchase you receive a code that you can pass on to others which automatically inducts you into the iHerb rewards club. My code is HFV484 for you'd like $10 off orders over $40 and $5 off orders under $40. 

 Now onto what I've bought.

 1. The Palma Christi Castor Oil - $3.71
This was packaged really well. The fact that they packaged it in plastic bag so it wouldn't leak really impressed me. So well done to iHerb. 

 2. Organic Cocoa Butter Beeswax Lip Balm - this came free

 3. E.L.F Eyeshadow "C" Brush - $2.99

 4. Real Techniques Shading Brush - $5.39 (originally $5.99)

 5. Real Techniques Core Collection - $16.19 (originally $17.99)

 Shipping cost $4.

 The total came to $27.28 USD. 

I was very happy with my purchases. In Australia the core collection alone costs $45. So I would highly recommend iHerb. 

 I placed my order on the 20th of August and it arrived on the 2nd of September. So it took less than two weeks to arrive. It was really fast shipping. So overall I was very impressed. 

What sites have you ordered from lately?

Review: UBU Shady Lady Eyeshadow Brush (No. 30)

Claim: "All eyes on you baby. Love your lids with this short synthetic bristle brush perfectly molded to your eye shape."

If you want a brush to apply eyeshadow all over the lid then this is NOT the brush for that. 

There are a few reasons why it's a bad all over the eye lid brush. 
1) Bristles are not flexible 
2) Bristles are too firm 
3) Bristles from the base are fairly thick but as it tapers to the top it becomes too thin therefore not enough eyeshadow can get onto the brush to actually be applied smoothly all over the lid. 

However, this brush is really good for applying eyeshadow on the lower lash line. So if your looking to set your eyeliner with eyeshadow this is a handy tool. It is the right amount of thickness and firmness to apply eyeshadow on the lash line. 

Cons:
- Doesn't do what it claims

Pros:
- Great for lower lash line
- Cheap 
- PURPLE

Rating: 2.5 

Where and how much: K-mart - $6.00

Review: Essence Quick Dry Top Coat

Image: Essence Quick Dry Top Coat

Claims: "Extremely fast drying top coat. Protects your nail polish against chipping"

How long would you expect a "quick dry" top coat to dry, 60 seconds maybe 2 minutes? Well don't expect too much from this top coat. Every time I've used this top coat I've had problems with my nail polish smudging or sheet lines when I wake up. 

The top coat does dry fairly quickly however the nail polish remains soft and smudges if your not careful. I tried it a few times but the last time I tried it I left it for an hour and a half to fully set and without doing anything that would ruin the polish before going to sleep but when I woke up my nail polish had sheet marks. All I can say is disappointing. 

Yes it is a cheap product but from essence I expected a lot better. I've used a few essence products but this was the WORST. 

In terms of protection from chipping I don't believe it makes much of a different. My test for this was rimm…

Review: Optiva Aqua-Capture Serum and Nourishing Night Cream

So firstly my skin type is dry/normal. I'm prone to hormonal breakouts. Every time I get a pimple it scars whether or not I've popped it (gross I know). So my main issue are my scars. But like I mentioned I do have somewhat dry skin and I really do feel like these have helped with my dry patches and preventing my skin from flaking. 



1. Optiva Aqua-Capture Serum 
30ml $24

"This super concentrated skin hydrating serum has a light formulation, which is easy to apply and works deep into the skin. The serum strengthens the skin barrier in just two weeks improving its tolerance for the long term. Specially formulated to offer an immediate comforting and calming effect. Apply after cleansing and before moisturising both morning and night. Clinically proven to reveal healthier skin in just two weeks."

Overall I think this is a really nice serum, but honestly I'm not really a serum girl and this product hasn't converted me. I feel like it's an unnecessary step. But if…
