Collective Haul

Hiya Guys!

I hope you are all doing well and have been enjoying this incredible weather we'e been having in the UK recently. This Blog Post is going to be a Collective Haul of things I have bought over the past month or so. Let's get straight into it...

Happy Place Cosmetics - Worst Behaviour Body Scrub


Happy Place Cosmetics are an incredible brand who sell Handmade, Vegan and Cruelty Free Cosmetics - I have been following this brand on Instagram for a while now but never got round to placing an order as their restocks are always SO crazy (I mean I'm not surprised since everything looks so incredible) but I did manage to pick up one product that I had been eyeing up for a while. Worst Behaviour Body Scrub - Worst Behaviour is their dupe for Calacas by Lush and for anyone who isn't familiar with this scent (first of all, you're seriously missing out) but it is a super citrusy lime and lemon scent. The scent of this Body Scrub is such an incredible dupe and has made me even more excited to pick up some products - especially the 'Stitch' products which are Blue Raspberry Slushie scented.


Bath Bake Love - Cotton Candy Bath Cream and Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub 


Bath Bake Love are another independent brand which I found on Instagram who also sell Handmade, Vegan and Cruelty Free Cosmetics. This is my second order that I have placed from BBL and I love their products! They release a new collection every month and also have a collection of core products which are stocked throughout the year. This time I ordered the Cotton Candy Bath Cream and the Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub. Their Bath Creams can be used a number of ways, I like to add it to my Bath Cocktails and run it under hot water to make the water smooth and creamy and I also like to use it for shaving. Melon Bingsu Crumble Scrub is such a lovely Body Scrub, it has been the one I have used most often recently to exfoliate not only my body but my lips as well - it really does smell delicious.


Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Hand Held Mirror


There isn't really much to say about this other than, HOW CUTE? I placed my first Beauty Bay order recently just to get this Jeffree Star Mirror and I am so happy I bought it. 


Pop Vinyl - Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson


Me and my other half Alex have been collecting Pop Vinyl's for over two years now and Danny and Sandy are the most recent additions to our collection. Grease is one of my favourite films so when I saw these in Forbidden Planet in Manchester I couldn't leave them there! I'm so glad they created a Sandy when she turned up to the Carnival in her leathers - that is one of my favourite scenes. 


Curious Owl Shop - Personalised Necklace 


I made a purchase from Curious Owl Shop a couple of months ago for a Family Member and when their Personalised Necklace arrived I knew I needed to order myself one. These are so beautiful and delicate, I got my boyfriend's name and our anniversary. The shop owner is such a lovely lady as well - always responds to any messages and questions you may have. The shop sell lots of different jewellery pieces including personalised items. 


Kat Von D - Metal Crush Extreme Highlighter Palette


This is my third KVD Highlight product I have purchased and I have to say I out of my MAC, Benefit and Drugstore Highlighters - KVD are the best out there in my opinion. I swatched this palette in Sephora when we went to Disneyland Paris but since I had spent a silly amount of money on Disney merch I didn't need and the KVD Saint Perfume I thought I should pass. But couldn't wait much longer and ordered it a couple of months later. Below are some swatches with flash, this picture doesn't do the product much justice but if head over to my Instagram you'll be able to see the video which shows them off a lot more. 



Primark - Mickey Mouse Light 


Primark have really stepped up their Disney game the past couple of months and when I saw this Mickey Mouse Light I needed to buy it! There was no passing on this item, for Disney fans who don't like the overly tacky items this is perfect, it looks so sleek and modern but adds that little Disney touch and what a bargain for £10.00! I only recently purchased this so it should still be in stores if you want to pick one up. 

Urban Decay - All Nighter Setting Spray


Urban Decay All Nighter is hands down my favourite Setting Spray. I will always re-purchase this, I have tried so many different brands but always go back to UD!


NYX Cosmetics - Liquid Suede Mini Lipsticks


If you know me you will know how much I love NYX Liquid Suede Lipsticks, they are the only Lipsticks I wear and I own pretty much every shade. So when I saw these Mini's in Duty Free Manchester I just had to pick them up! They were 3 for £5 so I got my three favourite shades, my go to nude 'Sandstorm', a classic black 'Alien' and a grey in the shade 'Stone Fox'. I was so chuffed when I saw these - the perfect size for a clutch bag.


I would recommend these Lipsticks to anyone, the formula is so lovely - a Liquid Lipstick that dries down matte and doesn't leave your lips looking dry and crusty!


And that is it! I hope you guys enjoyed this Blog Post and you'll be seeing a lot more of me very soon! I have lots of posts planned including a Lush Exclusives Haul and a very exciting post with a Independent Brand I have been following for a long time now. I have also started my YouTube channel so click HERE if you wish to check that out.
