Haul + FOTD: CutECOsmetics Sale!

I'm going to do something a little different today that I've not done before, so you'l have to let me know in the comments whether you like it or not! I'm going to show you a small haul - only four items and show you a look I put together using the items, I thought it might be fun! Of course there'll be some first impressions thrown in there as well! And if that wasn't overwhelming enough I also filmed me coming up with the look and talking about the products, which you can find at the bottom of this post! To give a quick overview of CutECOsmetics they're a website here in the UK that specialises in vegan/natural/cruelty free make-up that I've placed a few orders with previously, so when I saw they had a massive sale going on I couldn't resist!

theBalm Balm Jovi Face Palette
(£25.50, CutECOsmetics - normally £34) Where I've referred to 'normal prices' this is the price that the items are selling for in other places, CutECOsmetics don't list the presale prices. Back to the fun part though! I'd been eyeing up this palette (and many other items from theBalm) for a while now, so when I saw that they were included in the sale I knew I had to try my first product from the brand. So combined with my love for rock music and the incredible value of the palette I took my first step. Even though it's early days, I know there's no going back! The highlight shade in this is absolutely stunning and just makes me want to try the Mary-Loumanizer even more!

Neve Cosmetics Pastello Natural Eyeliner - Taupe
(£2.48, CutECOsmetics - normally £3.95) I've raved quite a lot about the Italian brand Neve Cosmetics before on my blog. But having only tried their powder products I decided to dive into the realms of some other products. After much consideration (and almost opting for another eyeshadow palette) I decided on this eyeliner. It looked like a very handy and standard shade to have around and something I don't currently own. It seems nice and creamy and definitely a good colour pay-off!

Neve Cosmetics Dessert a Levres Lipstick - Fruit Sushi (£5.25, CutECOsmetics - normally £9.95) I also decided to treat myself to a Neve Cosmetics Lipstick. And it really is a treat coming with a cute little cupcake on the packaging and even smelling like vanilla cupcakes! The colour I opted for is this stunning bright coal, perfect for Spring, but I must say I was very tempted by the pink nude shade called 'Panna Cotta', which I'm still lusting after! The texture is creamy and seems to apply well.

Hurraw Black Cherry Tinted Lipbalm (£2.99, CutECOsmetics - normally £3.99) Not quite as exciting as the other purchases I must admit, but it should definitely come in handy. I've never owned one of the Hurraw (vegan, organic & raw!) balms before, but I did buy my fiance the Earl Grey one for Christmas a couple of years ago and have used it a couple of times. I actually really like the quality, so decided to pick one up for myself, opting for a tinted one. Although to be honest it does seem very sheer! Onto the Look I created!
