Haulin' #6

Evenin'! 
Got another haul for you today, this is just random bits and bobs that I've picked up over the last month or so, which I forgot to blog about! 
Nail art pen in white, this blue skull bracelet, this nail art set in the 'fruit' version, and these dotting tools.

Haven't actually tried out any of the nail stuff yet, but I am eager too! :) The bracelet is a little big for my wrist, but it's wearable! 
Illamasqua skin base foundation in 02, La Roche Posay Anthelios xl spf50+ melt in cream, Soap and Glory you won't believe your eyes, Topshop cream blush in flush.

I won the Illamasqua foundation which is amazing as I never win anything! I've read some fab reviews on this, but I can't say I'm that impressed with it...I have only tried it once though, so maybe there's a knack to applying it right?! The Illamasqua team really impressed me with packaging, there was a hand written note and a sample of Freak perfume, which I have already used up and absolutely loved :)

During the hot spell we had over here, I bought the 50+ spf as I wanted something that was really heavy duty for my face (premature wrinkles? No thanks!), but easy to apply foundation over. I find I do have to give this 10-15 minutes to sink in, and I may need to powder over foundation to take away shine, but at least I wont be burning!

The Soap and Glory eye roll on was bought when I needed a third item for my 3 for 2. I have only been using this for a few days, haven't noticed any difference in bags or anything, but it feels amazing to apply! I really look forward to putting this on in the evening :)

Lastly, the Topshop blusher. This was a total whim, I was in Topshop and had a sudden urge to buy some makeup! None of the lipsticks really stood out to me, and I'd been wanting to try a cream blush for a while. The colour choice was actually down to my brother. I couldn't decide between Prime Time (bright pink), or Head Over Heels (bright coral), so I asked for his opinion. He said I'd look like a clown in either of those, and that Flush was the sensible option as it was actually a believeable colour for cheeks. At least he was honest ay! Tbh, I will probably go back for the brighter ones if I enjoy this blusher, as I do like bright cheeks!

So, more things that I don't need, and shouldn't really have bought! Anyone bought anything exciting recently? Or tried any of these things?
