Makeup Haul: MUA and Bh Cosmetics

Hello! I am actually on a spending ban at the moment, partly because I horribly overspent the past few months and need to claw back some pennies, but also partly because I just have soo much makeup and clothes so it'll be nice to try and get some good use out of the things I already have whilst I'm not buying anything new (expect a few shopping the stash and review posts) but I was a little bit naughty just before my ban started and put in these 2 orders that I have to show today...

The first was from the BHCosmetics website, which is actually an american site but they ship all over the world and they were having a sale so everything was pretty cheap! I haven't really heard much about the brand to be honest but I remember FleurDeForce saying that she really liked their blush brushes, so obviously I had to check them out! Here's what I bought:






6 colour contour & blush palette, eye and lip primer, eye blending brush, all-over face brush, 10 pieces deluxe makeup brush set in wood colour, kabuki brush with pouch.

My order came within about 7-10 days and I was expecting it to take much longer, so I was really impressed by how quickly it came, it was also really well packaged with plenty of cushioned wrapping which was all recyclable! Which I thought was really great! So far I've been really impressed by everything, so expect some reviews in the near future!!

Next was the MUA order I put in last week, I went on the website mainly because I keep reading good thing after good thing about their eyeshadow palettes and when the undressed palette was in FleurDeForce's monthly favourites for July (can you tell that I love her?) I thought, "just do it, get it." So basically, I did. I went on the website just to have a look t the colours in the palette really but ended up making quite the order after being greeted by a 25% off facebook offer (it'd be rude not to!!) So this is what I got:







Love hearts lip balms in great lips, sweet kiss, hot lips and kiss me, lip booms in O.M.G and doin good, eyeshadow 12 shade palettes in heaven and earth, undressed and dusk til dawn, extreme curl mascara in black, gel eyeliner in fairground, angled shadow liners in black, auburn and gunmetal.

The order came in around a week, which I thought was fine considering I got free postage and the eyeshadow palettes were given extra care in the packaging so they didn't break which was great!

So yes, I have more than enough to keep me going through my ban, it's going to be a painful couple of months that I can't spend for, I've already got a growing list of things to get when I'm allowed to spend my money again, I'm terrible, I know
