America Haul

Hiya!

Oops, I know it's been a while, but I'm back with a haul! Last week I was on a school ski trip in California and we had time for a bit of shopping. Let's just say I got very excited. By excited, I mean that when we walked into the cosmetics section of Walmart I was having heart palpitations.

Our main shopping day was in San Francisco where we went to the Westfield, but we also stopped off at a huge Target en route to Lake Tahoe (where we were skiing for 5 days).

Alrighty, let's begin.

- Wet and Wild 'Comfort Zone' palette
- Revlon 'Moonlit Jewels' creme shadows

Neither of these products are available in the UK so I was very excited to find these, especially as I've heard a lot about 'Wet and Wild' products through beauty gurus on YouTube. Both were fairly cheap and are different to products I own already, so I thought I'd give them a go. The Comfort Zone palette seems great as you can choose between a warm toned eye look, or use the more cool toned shades. It's also very helpful that it tells you where to put the product!

- Benefit 'They're Real' mascara

- Covergirl 'Lashblast' mascara

I've wanted to try the Benefit mascara for aaaages, and since American cosmetics are cheaper I thought it was the perfect time. (Still a rip off though!) I've also heard rave reviews on the Covergirl mascara, but I accidentally bought it in the wrong colour so I'm a bit peeved!

- Maybelline Baby Lips
- Eos Strawberry Lip balm

Yeah they're lip balms, so not much to say on this. The mere fact that these aren't sold in the UK vastly increases their excitement value. I'm sure the novelty will wear off...

- Maybelline 'Pomegranate Punk' Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow
- Maybelline 'Plum Wine' Dream Bouncy Blush
- Victoria's Secret 'Pure Seduction' Fragrance Mist

OK let's skip to the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush. If you haven't heard of this product then oh my god, it sure is bouncy. Weird. Not a great blush, but if you enjoy products which you can prod with your finger and change shape for fun, then yeah it's great.

- OPI nail polishes in 'OPI.. Eurso Euro' & 'You're a Pisa Work'

You can never have too many nail polishes eh? Eh? Yeah I really didn't need these. 

- Bath and Body Works hand sanitisers

Well this was a major source of excitement. Pretty hand sanitisers that don't just smell of alcohol, yes purleaaase!

- Bath and Body Works candles in 'Market Peach' and 'Espresso Bar'

If you read my last post then you really won't be surprised by these...
I can't quite believe I bought 2 400g candles to carry in my suitcase. (It was totes worth it though). I genuinely can't stop smelling these, and yes the second one is coffee scented, and yes it's heavenly.

 - Forever 21 necklaces

I picked up these in a last minute dash at the end of our shopping in San Francisco, but I'm very pleased with these as I've been into statement necklaces a lot recently. The necklaces were $6 and $8 which is a real bargain!

Don't worry kids, I bought a lot more food than this, but I might have accidentally eaten it all...

I established that America is the land of peanut butter, so of course I had to try out peanut butter M&Ms and peanut butter Oreos while there. I don't that I ever want to see peanut butter again now.

I'd heard a lot about these Extra 'Desert Delights' chewing gum, and they really are worth the hype! The apple pie flavour tastes EXACTLY like apple pie. EXACTLY. If they don't bring these to the UK soon I shall be starting a protest, mark my word.

I know you can get Pop Tarts in the UK nowadays but I'd never tried them before, not that I really want to ever again! Bit of a let down in case you were wondering!


See ya soon peeps! x
