Boyfriend went to London haul
Yes, my boyfriend went to London for his hobby and -sadly- I couldn't accompany him but I did manage to give him a shopping list and as he is such a sweetheart, he did what I asked - curious?
I asked him to drop by Selfridges for some Suqqu products (and samples!) and a little something from Urban Decay. Suqqu packaging is gorgeous, I love the black mat boxes and I also got 2 very generous samples of a soap (left bottom) and a foundation fix (black box right), the other ones were a bit smaller.
Now onto the things I purchased... I wanted the Suqqu cheek brush so badly (mainly due to Lisa Eldridge raving about it - when buying a product she recommends I know I will love it, past experiences told me this *Becca shimmering skin perfector says hello*). I knew the brush had a hefty price tag 85£ (my boyfriend was like what the hell, how much does this tiny thing cost - along with his friends) and that's why I was contemplating on getting it or not. In the end I gave in because of various reasons that made sense to me at the time and I am so glad I did!!! This is the softest brush ever, my Shu Uemura brush feels like straw in comparison and that one is even softer than a MAC brush... I hope the same thing goes for application :)
Then I also bought the Suqqu eyelash curler at a more reasonable price. I have a Shu Uemura curler and I like it but it doesn't reach all my lashes, especially in the corners. When I did a bit of research I found that this Suqqu one deals with the corners perfectly and I had to try it for myself. I also got 2 refills along with it for a total of 14£.
And lastly, an Urban Decay eyeshadow pencil in the colour Sin. I love this colour, it suits a lot of neutral looks and that's always to my likings. At first glance it reminds me a lot of NYX Jumbo Pencils, but this pencil is much softer/smoother and not as greasy as NYX. At 14£ it's not cheap but it looks like a very versatile product.
A bit of a talkative haul, but you know me, I love rambling on and on... :) I am so happy with my new-found-babies!!

Suqqu is zowat het beste wat je kan vinden, daarmee dat ze zo duur zijn. We moeten dringend eens een soort van sephora ofzo hier krijgen met allerlei merken van de UK, USA, en Azië. Direct gedaan met al dat online bestellen en we hebben weer een ton extra om te bezien.
Leuke spullen!
Nu ben ik toch ook wel benieuwd geworden naar het merk Suqqu! ;-)
Ah ja, ik hoor Lisa Eldridge daar inderdaad vaak over bezig! Wel prijzig, maar als het inderdaad zo goed is, tsja... :)
wat cool :) ik wil er zelf heen en koop dan de hele superdrug leeg :P die kwast lijkt me enorm handig trouwens!!!
Helemaal mee eens alles wat Lisa Eldridge aanraad is super goed. Ik ben ook nog steeds erg blij met de Becca shimmering skin perfector.
Ik ben ook erg benieuwd naar de Suqqu brushes maar voor die prjzen laat ik ze voorlopig even aan mij voorbij gaan. Als ik de lotterij heb gewonnen kijk ik nog eens een keer.
I really love your blog and I can't wait to read more! I hope you can come check out my Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki - F80 Giveaway :D

Phil: ja, ik kijk gigantisch uit naar een Sephora, BE staat echt wel achter op dat gebied *zucht!
Haha Eva, ja dat zal wel want jij vindt Shu ook zo leuk he, en dit is eigenlijk nog beter dan Shu...
Beautyloves, ja, prijzig maar voorlopig ben ik er al vol lof over. Nog even verder gebruiken voor de review komt :). Lisa is echt mn favo MU, leerrijke vrouw.
Pinkfairy: vorige keer had ik ook veel in de superdrug gekocht, maar dat ging ik mn vriendje nu niet aandoen. Dan moest ie alles beginnen af te zoeken enz. Nu moest m enkel naar de counter gaan en het vragen. Volgende keer als ik meega, dan spring ik er wel eens binnen!!!
Daris: fijn te horen dat je er ook nog zo blij mee bent. Omwille van de prijzen heb ik m de vorige keer ook niet gekocht maar nu met een kleine bonus wou ik mn eigen verwennen en het is het echt wel waard! Zal m volgende keer meebrengen, dan word je er ook verliefd op :)
Opal: thanks, that's so nice of you! I already have the flat top F80 so I won't enter your giveaway (actually I have 2 copies because it takes a while to dry), I'm sure someone else will be very happy with it!
