Ladies, today I am sharing my March Beauty Haul and Birthday Spoils with you all, and they are amazing! You may have read my VERY extensive Birthday Wishlist, of which I managed to tick off quite a few! I am so grateful for the gifts I received, as well as the gifts I gave myself! There are also a few new goodies that Slipper Girl got me from the US, but I don’t have them yet. And, a few things from France, that a work friend/mule brought down for me. But I will include those in my April Beauty Haul.
This Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream smells amazing! I received a travel size a while ago in one of my Sephora Favorites Sets, and I knew I had to have more, so I picked up a set of three. I also picked up the Brazilian Crush Fragrance Mist as it is meant to have the same scent.
Seeing as March was my Birthday month, I had the R50 Love Your Body Birthday Voucher from The Body Shop and I decided to pick up a few of the new releases, as well as two products I hadn’t tried before.
This Lush Relax Set is amazing! I haven’t tried the two Bath Bombs yet, but I love Twilight, I wish it wasn’t a limited edition product. Since Lush landed in South Africa, a good few years ago, I haven’t really bought anything from them, as I just get too overwhelmed by everything in store, so I was really excited to get this as a gift from Yasmin from Shop Mink.
I also received my March Sephora Play Box, and I am excited about a few of the products, especially the Stila Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner.
I also picked up two of the new LA Girl Lipify Stylo Lipsticks, and a Lipliner from Dischem. I also chose the Bite Beauty Set for my Birthday Gift from Sephora, and I will have a review on all of the Bite Beauty products I currently have. I also bought the MAC Nicki Minaj Nicki’s Nude Lipstick, as well as two Buxom Full-On Lip Sticks.
I also bought a few products from the MAC Padma Lakshmi Collection, and I have a full review with swatches here.
If you read my February Beauty Favourites, you would have seen me rave about the Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender, so obviously I stocked up on a few in the Clicks Beauty Fair.
I also bought a few products from the new Catrice Travelight Story Limited Edition, and I have a full review here.
Isn’t this a beauty! When I first saw the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter I knew I absolutely had to have it!
I love Erborian, I really wish they were still available in South Africa. I adore their BB Cream, so when I saw this cushion foundation I really wanted to try it out. I have had this Glamglow Glowsetter Makeup Setting Spray on my wishlist for ages, and so I was really happy when my brother bought it for me, along with the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Must-Haves below.
Eve Lom is another brand that isn’t available in South Africa, but one that I have wanted to try for ages. So, when I saw this Radiant Ritual Set, I thought it would be the perfect set to try a few products.
My dad went to Malaysia for work recently, and I obviously asked him to go to Sephora for me, to which he replied what is a Sephora, the shock horror! Anyway, he managed to get the Caudalie Beauty Elixir and The Solution Pads from Arcona for me for my Birthday. I also picked up this Philosophy Purity Made Simple Pore Extractor Mask.
My boyfriend spoilt me with two Diptyque Candles, in Tuberose and Mimosa. He also bought me a Sephora Gift Card, so I will be spoiling myself some more! He is literally the best!
He also got me the Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Fragrance and Orange Blossom Scented Candle. And my mom got me the Red Roses Scented Candle.
And that is my March Beauty Haul + Birthday Spoils!
I love Sol de Janeiro products – they smell amazing! I also love getting Jo Malone and Diptyque as gifts as I never treat myself to those sorts of things 🙂
