FRAGRANCE DIRECT HAUL

Hello!

Not long ago I heard of this website called Fragrance Direct, so I decided to check it out and it's honestly so cool! This website sells products that have been taken off of shelves, and sells them for extremely cheap prices. Sometimes they do have the odd up-to-date product, but these are usually full price.



When my products arrived, they were wrapped up in a box surrounded by air bags to stop things from breaking, and also my package came quite promptly so I was pleased with the delivery service. Anyway, here's what I got:

1. Calvin Klein lipsticks
The first thing I was on the hunt for was lipsticks. I only really have pink colours, and wanted to go for more Autumnal ones, but there weren't any on the website so I resorted to these 2."Henna" is a subtle pink/coral colour which looks more coral on the lips then my hand, and "Delightful" is a very bright pink, I wasn't too sure on this one but I really like the look of it. The lipsticks feel creamy, and soft which is good, and they were originally around £15, but I got them for £1.99 which is a total bargain.

2. Calvin Klein Blusher
Not only did I want lipsticks, I also wanted a new blusher because most of mine are quite light, which resorted in me getting this very deep pink blush. It looks as if it will be extremely bright on the cheeks which I'm worried about, but hopefully it won't come off too strong and will just be a flush of the pink. When the blusher arrived, I was shocked at how big it was compared to what I thought it would be which was a nice surprise, and also this was only around £2.99.

3. L'Oreal Paris Quad Pro pallet
 Next I looked down L'Oreal because their products are usually good, and I wanted to see what offers I could get, then this appeared. On the front, it says this pallet is for blue eyes (I have blue eyes), so I'm guessing that these 3 colours are meant to compliment blue eyes? Anyway, on the back of the packet there is a little diagram showing how you should apply these colours to your eyes, which is why there are small indents on the eyeshadows, and number 4 is a cream highlighter for the inner corners. I'm excited to give this a whirl and see how it turns out!

4. Maybelline Colour Sensational Popstick
 This lip product was more of a novelty item, and I think that's why it was discontinued because people were expecting more from it. I got this in the colour "Pink Lollipop" but on the website their were a few more which looked quite cool too, and this was only around £1.50 so I can't really complain (It also smells delicious). In all honesty, I was also expecting a little more colour to come off of my Popstick, but it does transfer a bit of colour, however I think it's more for moisturising and looking good in the packet.

5. Revlon Top Speed nail varnish
The last item is the most Autumnal product I ordered, and it's the Revlon Top Speed nail varnish in the colour 400 Ignite. This sparkly red colour is perfect for this season, and would suit most Autumn clothing items too which is a bonus. I'm surprised that this nail varnish was discontinued, because the formulation of it is great and I think it would dry quickly enough to be labelled as "Top Speed" so that's also a bonus. In addition, this was 99p which is a total bargain for a pot of nail varnish that big!

I think everyone should check out Fragrance Direct and see what deals you can grab, because I can guarantee you will find something that catches your eye for a great price.
