My Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, and Phyto beauty haul

Finally got a day off! sheesh, and here I am to show you guys my lovely new additions.  I'm so behind, as these were purchased close to 2 weeks ago, but better late than never.

This round of hauls included:

 

1.  Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh perfume - 125ml - rrp £61. I took advantage of their 10% sale, plus used my voucher on top of it, so got this for £50, plus a bag full of perfume samples thanks to the lovely SA at Debenhams.

2.  Lanvin eclat d'arpege perfume - 100ml - rrp was "way too much".  I can't even remember the rrp on this, because I have always gone through ebay buyers to buy testers. I recall seeing this for $95 at neiman marcus a couple of years back.  Whatever it was, it was to much, so now I rely heavily on ebay sellers.  I got this for £19.99.  This is one of those fragrances that aren't as popular for some odd reason as it smells identical (and even better) to D&G's Light Blue, which is a very popular scent even to this day.  This is not to be mistaken for Lanvin eclat which is a very heavy and traditional scent catered to older women.

3.  Phyto Phytovolume shampoo - Another ebay purchase for under £4 posted.  I love phyto so much, it's one of the haircare brands that I have always enjoyed using, but haven't been able to when I'm on a tight budget.  I love their botanical philosophy, and found that it works wonders on my hair.  I'm very excited to try this, and will report back with my review on this.

Now that I have quenched my thirst for perfumes for the time being, I think I need to chill. I love perfumes, but it's one of those things that make a dent in your bank account, so yeah ...deffo gotta chill for a little bit lol!

What have you been buying these days? Please share with me below, I love show n tells :)

TUNE OF THE DAY

Koop - Island blues

My first Phyto product & other beauty.com goodies

I needed a major pick me up last week, so when I saw Beauty.com having their gwp with purchase, I jumped on it.
I picked up my first Phyto product. I guess I always stayed away because it was so expensive, so I picked a product that I could use for a while. This pre wash treatment oil was perfect. I tried it last night and it just felt like I was putting olive oil on my hair. After 20 minutes of leaving it on, i washed it out. You shampoo and condition like you always would and I didn't blow dry my hair which I always do for volume. Well, I didn't need to because my hair felt very thick and super soft. I am very very happy about this product. At $30, I think it was worth it because I can see myself using this product for the next 6 months.

The next item i got was an empty lipstick palette from Japonesque. It has 36 slots and comes in his black plastic case. It cost $24, it was very flimpsy. I'm going to keep it however because I got so many MAC lipsticks that are down to the end. The case comes with a scooper, so I scooped out the remainder of 4 of my lispticks. Melted it for 10 seconds in the microwave and poured it into my lipstick palette. So the case did it's job. I just wish for $24 it was sturdier.























Now onto more sample goodies. I am in the middle of fighting with beauty.com because the samples they advertised online did not come with the gwp. I wouldn't mind if the substitutes were of equal value, but I didn't think they were.
Here are the pictures. Most of the samples will be going into my ebay beauty lot auction

OH! One last sample trio. It came with a shampoo, conditioning mask and botanical cream.
With any purchase of a Phyto product, I got this trio set. Very cute!
