Collective Haul

Hey girlies,

I have a small collective haul for you today. I have been accumulating some stuff since the beginning of September and I think that, at the moment, I have enough to do a haul.

As you can see it is a quite the mix...!!

Let's start with the Benefit goodies...

I picked up the "Go Tropicoral" kit. It comes with a mini Coralista blush, mini high Beam, mini Cha Cha tint and mini Coralista lipgloss and it is FABULOUS!! :p

I also picked up the Watt's Up solf focus highlighter which is gorgeous and I totally recommend it...!

Next let's have a look at some Body Shop products....

I re-purchased my all-time favourite Blue Corn face mask because I was running out of of my other cleansing face masks. I also picked up two home fragrance oils one in "Lavender" and one in 

"Tobacco Flower". 

Next are some MAC items...

I found this pro-pan e/s in "Bisque". I also did a BACK TO MAC and picked up "Ruby Woo" lipstick. I,also, bought the MAC MSF Natural in "Medium" and the shade suits my skin surprisingly well(btw it is much lighter than it looks in the photo).

Last but not least here are some nail products...

First the Sally Hansen "Insta-Dri" Anti-chip top coat. This is amazing!!!I was looking for a top-coat to replace my Seche-Vite which I absolutely love. However after some research I did I thought it would be good idea to try something else so I picked this up. 

Next we have the infamous Ciate Caviar Manicure. I haven't gotten around to really testing this yet but I will...;)

Last but not least I got this L'oreal Color Riche nail varnish in 205 "Rose Bagatelle"

I saw this on my friend Lydia's Blog and I rushed to get it...!! :) 

*Here swatched with Nails Inc "Chelsea Square" on the ring finger*

Aaaaand that was my collective haul!!Let me know what you think of the products and don't forget to check out my giveaway HERE...!!

Too faced "Glamour to go" palette and other bits and bobs 300 follower giveaway...!!

As of this moment I have 332 followers and over 40000 views which makes me extremely happy and excited. I have been (beauty) blogging since 2009 and it is now 2012. I like blogging and sharing tips, reviews, products and looks with you all and I am so glad that you follow my blog, comment on my posts and generally support me.
The older beauty bloggers probably remember the days when we blogged with 50 followers and didn't care one bit. When we didn't receive products from companies and still didn't care. When we used to contact each other and "converse" like we knew each other from Adam. Good times...
Anyway...I will stop rambling and get into the giveaway stuff...!!
Here are the prizes:

First and foremost we have the Too Faced "Glamour to Go" palette

This palette is excellent for travelling and for beginners. It comes with 8 eyeshadows, 1 blush, 1 bronzer and a lipgloss.

Next we have some bits and bobs...

A M.A.C lipgloss in "The wee coquette" (I have given this colour away in the past and I think it works well on so many different skin tones), A Sephora Eau de Toilette in Strawberry, a Vaseline Lip Therapy lip balm in Cocoa Butter and a knitted flower (yes I knit it myself) to use as a pin or a brooch. 

Last but not least I have some luxury samples for you...

Benefit's Total Moisture and It's potent!, Harajuku lovers (a set of 5) perfume samples and mini Estee Lauder sumptuous mascara in Black.
