Lately, I have been more intrigued by skincare and I am forever finding the right match for my skin so in today's haul, I will show what I bought which is mostly skin care.

You can access the Website here and see my first two hauls in two of my other posts: Sydney Trip and Mecca Haul!

Here is what I bought:

GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment - $98AUD

This product looks fancy but smells putrid! I really do not like this smell. Applying is easy as you only need a thin area either around the face or in certain areas. This mask is a wash off one which is a little annoying but clean up is easy on the face. The first time applying it, it was tingly and burning for 2 minutes which wasn't that bad as I had this issue on the first GlamGlow I used. After removing the mask, my fave was left red and felt dry and clean. People with dry skin, I would not recommend as it dried me out and I have oily skin. Correction, the past works well if you follow the instructions as it says a thin layer, which I was putting a thick layer on. I feel like my scaring from my pimples have cleared a little but I don't know if that is the toner and the face mask working together. This is my face with the product on. Now that I have put a thinner layer on, I have noticed a difference in my skin. Such a rollercoaster with this product and it has been worth it!

Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash - $40AUD

Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion - $21AUD

This product kind of do the job as it stays on for the majority of the day, but it does fall into the creases so be wary about that. I created this eyelook to see how it would work. I did have some trouble blending but I don't know if that was user error or the product. I have never really used these shadows before so I am not too sure what it could be. I used Morphie's 35S and Kylie Cosmetics crème shadow in the shade 'Yellow Gold' from 2016's holiday collection. Lipstick is Jeffree Star Cosmetics 'Crocodile Tears' from the 2016 holiday collection.

Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturiser - $28AUD

For the most part, I am mostly disappointed in the size as it is quite small and having to moisturise everyday, you can use a lot in a small period of time. But, you only need a little bit and being an oily girl myself, it helps to conceal the oil in and has a nice smell which is subtle but nice. I would recommend this for anyone who has oily skin like me! I just wish it was in a bigger bottle.

Mario Badescu ALPHA Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion - $22AUD

I haven't had the chance to try this out but as with the samples, as I try it out, I will share on my Facebook and Twitter pages to find out.

Darphin Refreshing Cleansing Toner - $32AUD

I find that this product makes my skin feel oily throughout the day as I have never had this problem with oiliness using my current moisturiser Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional Matte Rescue. This product keeps my skin matte with no oiliness throughout the day. I am going to test Darphin and Benefit in the opposite way to see if that makes a difference.

The next day, I tested it out swapping the two and my face if less oily than yesterday which is good! After using this for about two months and two bottles later, it is actually nice and I have seen an overall improvement in my skin and the texture. I do love this product, but if there is any other toners that you recommend, please let me know as I am willing to try other products. I have a Sephora Haul coming up in a few months so stay tuned for that where I try another toner!

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Conditioner - $49AUD

I have been using this conditioner for a little bit and it has really helped with the dryness my hair gets. I go between the Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and my thermal Shampoo and Conditioner from DeLorenzo.

With each order, you can choose up to three free samples from what they offer. They offer 6 options. Here is what I chose:

111SKIN Bright Eye Lift Gel

This is originally $206AUD!! I'm glad I got this as a sample. So I hope this product works miracles and gets rid of all of my under eye bags! This product has done nothing for my under eyes. They do not feel any different other than really oily. This is definitely not worth the price it is marketed at.

HOURGLASS Veil Mineral Primer

This product is $108AUD for a full size of this primer. I hope this helps make my foundation flawless.

Korres Wild Rose Moisturer

This is only $45AUD which is not too bad of a price. But It feels luxurious on the face and it feels more expensive than it already is! I am thinking of buying this and trying it out and seeing what effects it has on my skin. I don't believe it brightened my skin, though it did maintain the moistures of my skin. You could get 6 uses out of the sample but because I assumed it was more for a one or two time use, I put wayy to much on my face and got three uses out of it!

Next Week, I will be testing another product to see if it is 'Beginner Proof'! Wait until next week to find out what it is.

Happy Shopping,
