Recent Collective Haul | June 2018

You guys seem to absolutely love my collective haul posts – so this time around I’ve got the most epic one yet! I’ve been collecting these little packages and purchases for the last few weeks to share with you all today – warning, it’s a big one! Where I’ve tried products I’ll share little reviews as always!

I received some beautiful self care goodies from the beautiful team at RY.com.au – you’ve seen these in my pamper routine and I actually genuinely like all of these products !

I ran out of my Too Faced Better Than Sex waterproof mascara a few weeks back and was SO happy to be able to quickly duck into my local Mecca Maxima store rather than order online!

I received a beautiful package from a new natural skincare brand called Biologi. They’ve got three serums in their range – so far I’ve only used their Body Serum and Eye Serum – the Eye Serum is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal! The prior eye serum I was using wasn’t nearly hydrating enough and this just sinks in beautifully but also stays on the skin for hours. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I’m noticing a difference already!

I randomly received the two Katy Kat Eyeshadow Palettes from Covergirl – a cool and a warm toned palette. And you guys know I love this because cats!

Another surprise package was the Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Glow Drops. This is a cross between a really light skin tint and a highlight. On the skin alone it gives the most incredible glow – it somehow just blurs the skin and leaves it looking so healthy and radiant. I’ve been using this either alone or mixed in with moisturiser and I absolutely love it, it is the product I never knew I needed.

I was very excited to receive some skincare goodies from Youth to the People. Their facial moisturiser I’ve only used a handful of times but am absolutely loving and I’ve been using the eye cream for during the day and under makeup (with the Biologi serum during the night) and am really enjoying it !

I received another Lip Monthly subscription – I’ve received these on and off for a little while now and it’s always interesting to try brands we can’t easily access in Australia – but also difficult to share with you guys who are mostly Australian based! It does however ship here and EBONY55 will get you $$ off!

The BYS Rebel collection took me right back to my grunge angst filled teenage years with their cool metal studded packaging! The colours aren’t super realistic for what I personally wear but I am all over the creativity behind this line!

You’ve all (hopefully) seen my Sephora Haul – but here’s a look into some of the bits I purchased (a while back now) in case you missed it !

The Models Prefer Another Dimension range arrived in the mail – with beautiful highlighter palettes and dreamy galaxy themed brushes I was all over this one like a rash!

I picked up one of the new Body Yogurt’s from The Body Shop + a matching shower gel when they had a 2 for $20 deal! I also repurchased two of my all time favourite Early Harvest Raspberry Body Scrubs when I walked past and randomly saw them in the window – it’s the best body exfoliator that I’ve tried so I highly recommend !

Biore sent through their Charcoal Self Heating One Minute Mask – which is the absolute perfect mask to use in this cold weather currently ! It feels amazing on my skin and I didn’t notice any sensitivity or dryness after use unlike some charcoal masks – it’s a winner from me!

I received another absolutely beautiful package from Models Prefer, this time with their new Sunsetter Eyeshadow Palette, Ombré highlighters and metallic liquid lipsticks! These were VERY difficult to get in good lighting but trust me they’re much more beautiful than they look! (So that’s saying something!)

I received another of my Beautifully Well Box subscription boxes. This month’s box was definitely my least favourite – I’m not a fan of a few of the products in there but am for sure excited by the Pukka tea! I’ve still got the June box coming because I do love the service and want to keep it up for as long as I can!

In what was a very exciting package I received the new Mac Fix + Matte which is an absolute dream – it is refreshing without giving your skin too much glow and is the perfect 3pm pick me up for oily skinned girls! I am already obsessed. I also received their new Pore Refiner Stick which feels absolutely delicious on the skin!

I was very overly spoilt by the beautiful Mecca Maxima team with an incredible Urban Decay package to celebrate their new Backtalk eyeshadow palette. Not only did it contain that palette and the lipstick that inspired it but it also had a bunch of their cult classic products – including a personalised bottle of the All Nighter Setting Spray! My name wasn’t very common as a child so this absolutely blew me away!

I also received some beautiful goodies from Clinique, Aveda and Bobbi Brown including these goodies and more – stay tuned for a post on these next week!

I also did a Mecca online order myself – two of the items weren’t right for me so they were returned but these I kept! The Mecca Max mascara was a gift with purchase which I am so impressed with! Very excited to try these new pieces in my collection.

    Daaaaaang! That was a haul and a half! I’ve been trying to find those Covergirl palettes for a while now but the only place that stocks Covergirl here is Coles

      Hehe thanks girlfriend! Definitely wasn’t all purchased/received in at once – I wish haha. Oh that must be frustrating ! I picked one up from Priceline then received both in the mail – so lucky.

    Wow wheeeee, that is a collective haul indeed!! So many amazing goodies! So curious to hear how you go with Fix + matte. I have the original and I like it but since I’m on the oilier side I don’t really see it do much for me. The green shades in that BYS palette are actually quite intriguing. I’m getting really into green eyeshadow and definitely want more in my collection!

      Collective haul and a half hey! I love the Matte Fix +! I have a mini review on Insta but it’s the actual perfect thing for oily skin and I adore it – I wouldn’t use it as a setting spray as such but it is still so wonderful. The BYS palette is stupidly pigmented – you’d love it!
