Royal Mail Delivers....

I'm always getting something in the post, makes me happy when I see something I've ordered has arrived.

I haven't written a post in a while, so I thought I would show you guys what I've received in the post (not all purchased at once)

Pamper Secrets box for April

I think this will be my last Pamper Secrets box - I haven't really used any of the products from the first box and I doubt I will use any for this box either. As much as it seemed like a beauty box that would fill the gap and cater to women of colour - I don't think it's really giving subscribers the products that they would want to use. These products are good (just for testing), I wouldn't go to Boots/Superdrugs and buy them - that's my opinion on it.

MUA collab with Alexandra Burke - Lip Boom :)

'Its A Situation'

'OMG'


I bought one more Lip Boom in the shade 'OK.COM' (the picture has refused to upload) but I like the shades I chose. There are 2 more shades in the collection that I wasn't sure about (couldn't really tell if they were shades I would like) - they're available in Superdrug from 9th May so maybe I'll go check them out in the flesh. I also received a free Immaculate Collection palette with my order *big grin* - as you can see it's yet to be opened but I'm loving the mix of colours.

Ebay lashes

Lastly, I purchased these lashes from eBay. I'm low-key annoyed because I bought them so I could wear them over the weekend. I really wanted to order a bulk set from a seller in Hong Kong but the delivery time was too lugubrious lool *don't know what that word means but it fits* - the seller stated anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. o_O I ordered these lashes from a UK seller instead, they are nice but I could have got them cheaper and I could have got about 40 more pairs for less than what I paid. Okay okay I only paid £4.18 but still...

Another reason why I was annoyed - the day I got these lashes I showed them to my mum and she said 'did you buy the glue?' - I replied 'oh I didn't need to - got a few tubes that I've not really used'... To cut a long story short, those little tubes of glue you get with those stupid lashes you buy for £5-£7 for one pair.... are absolutely USELESS. I tried so many times to glue these lashes and got so frustrated because the glue ended up on my eye lid, nose, fingers (messed up my smokey eye look) - ended up ripping them off. So, yes I bought them, didn't end up wearing them and am still yet to buy glue. Great!!!!

The lashes are nice - I think I might give my mum the first box as those lashes are not longer than my own and they don't really add any volume to my natural lashes either. The 2nd box are more of a dramatic pair - I'll keep those in my stash of things I hardly use. *sighs*
