We decided to do separate our hauls from reviews to shorten the length of the blog and also it gives us more time to really test the products and give an accurate review. So if anything we will just give first impressions with in depth analysis and recommendations coming much later!
So, the first thing we got was the Beauty Blender Duo Kit which comes with two (2) Beauty Blender sponges and a 5oz liquid cleanser.
This was actually a re-purchase so we can say this product is phenomenal. The sponges are super soft and look small but expand to about twice its size when damp. They blend foundation quickly because they cover a large area and the finish is airbrush quality. The cleanser is not only great for the sponges, but is awesome on regular makeup brushes.
The next item we wanted to try for a while which was the Model In A Bottle makeup setting spray. We got the 2oz orginal formula.
After a short test it seems to be living up to the claims but we'll have to use it a bit longer to be absolutely sure.
Since Bridal makes up a large portion of our business, another re-purchase was the MUFE Face & Body waterproof foundation.
We got 6 popular shades and can mix and match depending on the client! Gorgeous dewy finish on the skin and leaves the Bride radiant and ready to face a day of happy tears with no smudging, breaking down or transfer.
Our last product was from a brand we love and have used for a while, Real Techniques, and also my favourite type of makeup product; BRUSHES!!! We have the Core Collection from the same brand in addition to the stippling brush and expert face brush but we have never tried the eye brushes. At first glance they look pretty small however the face brushes perform so well, we definitely want to give the eye set a fair try.
In addition to these products we also picked up the 252 Eyeshadow Palette from Coastal Scents for our January giveaway. We wont swatch it or remove the packaging but we can give you an idea of what it really looks like in person.
The colours are definitely more interesting than we thought they were going to be, so we will definitely have to get another to swatch for you guys and try out some looks with.
The really cool fact about the palette is, if you find a colour you like, you can order that single colour from Coastal Scents in their Hot Pot line. This is really convenient in order to grab your favourite colours without having to re-purchase the entire palette and of course the Hot Pot version is much larger than the dime sized shadows in the palette.
