I love it when I watch haul videos. The feeling of getting new products to be tested out is pure bliss. At least for a soon-to-be makeup junkie. I get so excited to see people doing swatches and their first impressions. Especially their facial expressions haha
So last December during the Black Friday sale, I've managed to score a couple of Soap & Glory's makeup stuff from Boots.com (things our local Sephora does not carry. Booooo) and as my order was more than £15, I received a free (keyword there haha) Soap & Glory's 'The Best things in life are 3' set. No, you can't buy it if you're wondering.
All thanks to my friends who were still in the UK, I get my babies picked up in-store and one of my friends brought it back for me. Woohoo!
I am beyond excited to try this bronzer because I have been trying the Sephora Bronzing Powder and Catrice's Sun Glow and I am not that impressed by it. Both went a little to reddish for me and I realised my skin needs more of an ashy tone bronzer. The Solar Powder seems more of the shade that turns towards the ashy side.
The highlighter that comes with it looks so yummy as well. Not too bright and not to glittery. Can't wait to try it!
And now, for the free gift. Since I purchased it last December, I had completely forgotten the detailed description. So to my surprise, I've got all three full-sized items. Like whaaaaaaaaaaa????
Yes, I was that shocked to discover my gift pack contains items worth more than what I've purchased. Let's go through them shall we darlings? *insert British accent*
The brush somewhat look a little like Maybelline's Lash Sensational but with natural bristles. Let's hope it works!
Next up, the Love at First Blush Multi-Shade Blushing Powder, that values at £11. I just love the look of this blusher! And again, look at the packaging. It's just too adorable. I have high expectation for this blush just because it looks lovely. It also claims that it's a more rosy-radiance shimmer powder.
The colour wheel looks very much like some of the eyeshadows from Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette that is geared towards a more rosy look.
Last but not least, the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Berry Gorgeous (sounds like you're about to curse when you say it out loud but you're not) and costs only £3.50 a pop. It is a hydrating lip crayon that has a rich colour to it. In short, I'm guessing it is a coloured lip balm. I don't usually wear these sort of dark colours but since it is sort of a tint, it would be nice for a change.

The first item I bought and I have been dying to try is the Supercat Carbon Black Extreme Eyeliner Pen (£6 at Boots.com). It's a really black eyeliner and since I have never tried any pen liners before, I thought I should give it a go. I still have not worn it yet but I will do soon and give a review on it.

| Can I just keep the packaging? |

| Getting it all black baby |
The tip is not as thin as I'd like it to be (say hello to hooded Asian lids) but I may find a way to make it work. We'll see how it looks like on me hehe
The second purchase, which is the reason why I even made the order was this beautiful bronzer and highlighter duo, the Solar Powder (£11 on Boots.com). Seriously, it's too pretty in real life with all the pink sheen on the logo.

| Love the packaging and the old school vibe |

| Can you see the pink sheen there? It's not glitter. |

Welcome to Malaysia dear makeup darlings. Let me show you around the hot and humid country and see if you can last.
Introducing the first of the lot, Thick & Fast High-Definition Collagen-Coat Mascara, retailing at £10.50. The description says that the 7-Sided Fan Flare-180 brush with a V-groove helps to create volume and intensity by combing and curling the lashes. It also claims to be a no-flake mascara and contains collagen. Sounds promising for my lashes.
The brush somewhat look a little like Maybelline's Lash Sensational but with natural bristles. Let's hope it works!
Next up, the Love at First Blush Multi-Shade Blushing Powder, that values at £11. I just love the look of this blusher! And again, look at the packaging. It's just too adorable.

I don't usually wear these sort of dark colours but since it is sort of a tint, it would be nice for a change.
The packaging reminds me of Clinique's Chubby Stick, petite and full.
There is a hint of gold sheen to it that I predict would help in making the lips look fuller and plumped when used. I'm so so excited to try all of them. I might do a review once I've used them enough. I just hope I don't love them too much or else I'll have to find a way to ship it to Malaysia. Yikes!
Just to recap, I've bought 2 products worth slightly more than £15 and I've got a gift pack worth £25. SOOOOOO WORTH IT! Why don't Malaysia have these kinds of offer? I would have been more crazy buying all of them. Dear Sephora, please bring in all of Soap & Glory's products, especially the makeup. From your little fan.
Right then, hope you enjoyed the haul. Write soon. Toodles!
