Another Cherry Culture Haul


I recently did some more damage on the Cherry Culture website and got a few items I have been eyeing for a while now. So since this time of year I can justify splurging a bit on myself because its around my birthday time I went ahead and got some stuff. 









NYX Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation in Medium Beige


Jordana Matte Lipstick in Sweet Sorbet
This is more of a metallic finish than a matte.It is also very sheer and have to really build it up to get a good colour payoff

L.A. Girl's Creme Lipstick in Love Letter, Secret Admirer, Pure Ecstasy
I am in ecstacy for Pure Ecstasy lol. I am so in love with this lipstick I am wanting more. They have the texture of Mac cremesheen finish on the lips but smells like a hair product (bummer), it is not an overpowering scent but you can faintly smell it when applying the product. However the pigmentation is unbelievable for the price of this product (USD$2.50), it is rich and applies very opaque. 


NYX Round Lipsticks in Fig, Rose, Peach Bellini Peach Bellini is very sheer, so you will have to swipe it a couple times to build up the colour.

Beauty Joint Haul

Hi guys! In September I made the plunge and ordered some stuff online to be shipped directly to Jamaica and since this company BeautyJoint.com offered international shipped I opted to go for it.

It took 5 weeks for me to get. In this time I was worried that my package got lost in transit or something because girls in New Zealand and Australia said they got theirs in 2 weeks. But I kept my fingers cross until that faithful day the mail man showed up with the slip for me to pick up my package at the post office. To my surprise the package did reach Jamaica in 2 1/2 weeks but was delayed by the dreaded customs for another 2 weeks. Talk about a bummer! I was glad however that I did not have to pay customs duty on the package. Yay for that!

Everything came in good condition, nothing was broken thankfully (except the handle of the ELF brush but I think that's a manufacturing issue and not as a result of the shipping). It came all wrapped up in layers of bubble wrap and felt pretty secure.

I am glad to get my hands on some Wet n Wild, ELF and NYX products without having to travel to America and I liked the variety of drugstore items the site offer. Below are pics of the items I received.

Check out my unboxing video of this package http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP30FWR0GFw
