Brand Love - Philosophy

So this isn't so much a haul, because I got these products ages ago and they have nearly been used up already, but I just wanted to share with you some of the gorgeous products they do, so here is some of the stuff that I have used:

So skin care wise we have Hope in a Jar moisturiser, Purity cleanser and On a Clear Day cleanser, all of which I can really recommend. I have been using them for about 3 months and my skin has never been clearer and my pores have never been less visible! Hope in a Jar is one of very few facial moisturisers that hasn't broken me out or reacted badly with my skin aswell.

I also got a couple of shower gel sets, the first is the Cookie Exchange set which contains Christmas Cookie (this is currently in my shower and smells soooo good) and Brown Butter Cookie. I also got Under the Big Top set which contains French Vanilla Bean, Pink Cotton Confection and Frosted Animal Cracker. The shower gels are lovely and I love all the different fragrances that are available.

The one thing that I dislike about Philosophy is that the range in the UK isn't that great and its also so much more expensive here then it is in the UK! I imported this stuff from the USA and I think the only things you can get over here are Hope in a Jar and Purity cleanser. 

I can't wait until this lot runs out so I can do another big order!

MAC and Illamsqua haul

So for Christmas by boyfriend got me a Illamasqua gift voucher so I had already decided I was going to go there, but on the same day MAC at Spitalfields called me up because they had my work security card that I had accidently left in there. Well if they was kind enough to hold onto it for me I had to repay the favour by spending some money in the store right! Anyway here is what I got:

Here is everything all nice and shiny in the boxes. Surely I'm not the only one who loves looking at things in their boxes for a while before taking them out?

And here is the products in all their glory! So in the top row we have, MAC Peaches Blush, Illamasqua Dixie Blush, Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation SB06, Illamsqua Cream pigment in Emerge, in the bottom row we have MAC Lipsticks in Hang Up and Chatterbox, and Illamsqua polishes in Jo'Mina, Kink, Purity and Eclipse.

This is a close up of Dixie because my camera didn't really pick up the colour properly in the previous picture. It looks pretty intense but it is gorgeous on.

All I can say is, I am in love with make up again! I also can't recommend Skin Base foundation enough, this is my second bottle as my other bottle is my summer shade. If you decide on it you should definitely go to the Beak Street store, the staff are lovely and will always be very excited to help you out. Eurgh <3 Illamsqua.
