Reviews on the Horizon

Recently I have been lucky enough to win a couple of competitions on fellow bloggers sites plus I have also done a couple of eyeshadow orders. So I thought that I would post a pic of what has arrived in the last week as it will be what I am reviewing on this blog in the near (and probably distant!) future.



So, what did I get? I'll start with my competition wins.

Suzanne from Don't They Know Who I Am went on a massive shopping spree to celebrate reaching 100 followers. Her giveaway prize consisted of:

  • Napoleon Set Primer (this is the only thing in the pack that I have tried - reviewed here UPDATED - I haven't actually tried this one, its the Auto Pilot I have tried - now I'm off to compare the two Napolean primers!)
  • Bourjois Smokey eyes trio
  • Bourjois lipstick in Rose Seduisant
  • Sportsgirl palette - Delicate Matter
  • Sportsgirl Give Em Some Lip lipgloss in Tutti Frutti
  • Sportsgirl Nail It! Nail polish in Blue Lagoon (exactly my shade of nail polish!!)
  • The Face Shop Vitamin E sheet mask
  • Revlon Metallic in Copper Penny
  • Skin Food Acai Berry Mask 
  • Etude House Missing You Hand Cream (that's the cute penguin in the photo!)
Plus, she also threw in a whole bunch of Skin Food Samples and a House of Gloi Bubbling Scrub which she must have known I was lusting after as I had a little bit of a rant about it here!

Next, I won a Blitz Mega Hair and Beauty Box thanks to Lilit from Makeup and Macaroons and Hairhouse Warehouse. This box was stuffed full with:
  • Nak Aqua Shampoo 375mL ($21.95)
  • Nak Aqua Conditioner 375mL ($21.95)
  • Nak Detangling Spray 200mL ($21.95)
  • Mini Curling Tong ($24.95)
  • Models Inc Lip Gloss with Light ($12.95)
  • Tail Comb ($5.00 with the clips below)
  • Sectioning Clips x 4
  • Nak Care 4 Ends Leave in Moisturiser 200mL ($12.95)
  • Nak Treat with Care Conditioning Treatment 200mL ($12.95)
  • $20 Salon Voucher
 As I mentioned in my Pissed Off rant reading other blogs has virtually forced me to go out and buy stuff. Here are two of my orders!
I put an order in with Michelle from RitualEyes for some eyeshadows. This was particularly exciting because two of the colours I asked her to create for me. I wanted a bright green with no hint of muddiness and she came up with Alien Invasion, and a nice bright yellow to pair with it and she created Lyme Spider. My full order (which I will swatch very shortly) consisted of:
  • Violent Violet
  • Phantoms Army
  • Molten Lava Flow
  • Lyme Spider
  • Alien Invasion
Plus she threw in samples of White Out, Abyss and Mermaid's Song, all of which I am annoyingly quite taken with...I feel another order coming on!

My final order came from Fyrinnae and I hold Megan from Beauty in the Sky. I hadn't heard of Fyrinnae until I read her post. Within hours I had ordered:

  • Herbivore
  • Dressed To Kill Loose Eye Shadow
  • Arcane Magic: Madame & Eve's
  • Arcane Magic: Sorceress
  • Eternal Innocence Loose Eye Shadow
  • Catrina Cabaret Loose Eye Shadow
  • Pixie Epoxy
Again, these will be swatched in the near future.

So there you go - a heads up of what you might see in this blog in the near future. What do you want me to review first?

Nice! You are going to love Ritual Eyes, Michelle is so talented! Also Pixie epoxy is nice, I need a replacement. What is that cute Papushka doll that looks like a bird? It is adorable :)

It's actually meant to be a penguin - it's the etitude hand cream and it smells divine. A bit like baby powder. That will be my first review I think!
