iHerb haul

Hey everyone!

First up on my blog is a little iHerb haul! I made an order last week and received it a few days later, so I thought I may as well show you all what I got! All prices listed are what they cost me on the iHerb website!

First up is the Queen Helene 'Mint Julep' fask mask.

I have already used this once, and it definitely deserves all of the hype surrounding it!
It stung a little when I first applied it, but it isn't abnormal for my skin to react like that.
It was really easy to rinse off which is a massive bonus, and my skin looked and felt much better afterwards!

Next up are these two E.L.F Studio blushes in 'Fuchsia Fusion' and 'Mellow Mauve'.

I've heard wonderful things about these, and from what I can tell they're gorgeous. Pigmented and easy to blend. Definitely worth the money, and I'm actually expecting a few more in the mail soon so I will post a more in depth review when I get my hands on them!

Next is the E.L.F Studio Contouring blush and Bronzing powder in 'St. Lucia'.

I have been wanting this for as long as I can remember, and I FINALLY have my hands on it.
This is known for being a dupe for the NARS 'Laguna' and 'Orgasm' duo, and though there are similarities, I disagree.

Last up is the Real Techniques 'Miracle Complexion Sponge'.

Now, I wasn't super impressed with this one.
I'd heard a lot of people say that they thought it was a dupe for the Beauty Blender, but as a long time user of the latter, I must say I disagree. The 'Miracle Complexion Sponge' sucked up a lot more product, and honestly the size and shape made it a hassle to use. 
Perhaps I've just grown accustomed to the Beauty Blender, but that's where my loyalty will stay!

And that's all I ordered this time around! I must say iHerb is one of my favourite websites to order from. Their pricing is great, and they offer so much more than cosmetics and skincare! Shipping is super affordable, even when you select the express option, too. :)
