Online Beauty Haul

Having been a beauty fanatic for a good few years, I'd always enjoyed going out & hand picking my favourite pieces & a few new releases to then bring home & enjoy. However, as I did a little research into new brands & products online, I discovered a whole host of hidden gems, some of which I'd never heard about, & so I simply had to share! Enjoy!


JorgObe Peel Off Mask

I'd first heard about this wonder product from Denmark after spotting an online ad about it on Facebook (inspiration can come from the most unlikely of places!) & I knew I had to get my hands on a bottle asap! I've always been quite wary when it comes to introducing new products into my skincare regime as any sudden changes can cause breakouts, so I've always aimed to keep my routine as simple & as regular as possible. However, I figured that as this was a mask, & I'd be using it once a week at the most, I wouldn't be putting my skin under as much strain as I would had it have been a daily scrub/cleanser.

As of right now, I haven't had chance to use it yet, but I will be doing a full review of it once I have done! I have very high hopes for this product; the reviews claim it is a truly fabulous product, so I'll let you know how it all goes!

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil

Yet another chilly winter staple. I'd heard alot about facial oils & their amazing moisturising & replenishing power, yet I'd never thought about using one for myself; as with the face mask above, I'd figured anything particularly oily in addition to my regular skincare routine would simply cause breakouts, so I'd steered clear! However, after reading raving reviews from fellow bloggers, I decided to take the plunge & buy myself a bottle!

This particular brand, the 'Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil Skin Perfector' is really easy on the purse; I bought my bottle from Superdrug online for around £8.00, & as you only have to use the tiniest amount at time, I know it will last me for a while! The product, despite being an oil, really isn't too greasy at all, & it's fast absorbing, meaning it doesn't sit on the surface of the skin, plus it smells absolutely divine, too. So far, I've worn it before bed to allow it to really work it's magic as I sleep, but I know it can be worn throughout the day too, or dabbed onto cheekbones over makeup to give your skin a healthy glow! I'm very excited to see the long term results of using this fabulous product!

Aussie '3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor' & Aussie 'Miracle Shine Shampoo'

Aussie is a brand I've always been in total awe of, yet never actually experienced for myself; I'd heard so many amazing reviews, both online & from friends, & I'd always had the intention of buying, but there were so many products to choose from, I never knew what to go with first, I simply wanted all of it! However, I reined in my beauty fanatic side & went with two of the best sellers, the 'Miracle Shine Shampoo' & the '3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor'.

The first thing I noticed about these products was the packaging; It's just simply lovely, & I adore the kangaroo design around the top. They smell absolutely fabulous too, so that's a huge bonus in my eyes; You can't beat lush smelling hair to put a smile on your face during drab wintry days! Having not yet actually used them, I can't go into much detail in terms of reviewing them, but I do know for a fact I'll be writing a very special Aussie inspired post soon, so watch this space!

Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation

Lily Lolo was new to me up until September when I discovered it whilst looking for good quality yet affordable mineral makeup which would see me into the festive season; Constant fluctuations in temperature wreak havoc with my skin, causing breakouts & dry patches, so I wanted something which would give me the maximum amount of coverage without over loading my skin with product. I've only ever bought two powder mineral foundations, one from Avon & another from Collection 2000, & I wasn't overly impressed; Sure, they did what they said on the packet, but I wanted something to wow me!

Lily Lolo is an online brand which specialises in high quality yet affordable mineral makeup. The foundation I bought was priced at £13.49 for 10g, with postage & packaging at £1.99 (I received mine in the post within two days, which I was amazed at), which, when compared to other major mineral makeup brands, turns out to be an amazing deal for what you get. The packaging is beautiful, & very sturdy, which I always look for in anything I buy; The outer of the product can very often give you an insight into the quality of the product it holds inside. Having worn this once or twice, I can easily say I'm very impressed; It simply knocks my liquid foundations out of the park. With such a wide range of products to choose from, including concealers, correctors, eye shadows & lipsticks, I'd happily buy from here again! If you'd like to take a look at the full range yourself, simply click the link below; there are so many other handy little extras on the site too, including a skin tone guide & a loyalty card system, giving account members discounts & other little goodies, so I'd highly recommend signing up!

I'm oh-so pleased with these new discoveries I've made recently, & I know for a fact I'll be a long time customer to most from now on!

If you'd like any more information, don't hesitate to comment, or if you've had any of your own experiences, please share! I hope you've enjoyed this post, there will be some coming soon, maybe a little bit different to my usual, so keep an eye out for those!

Until later, my lovelies!
