My Kawaii Wonderland Halloween Lucky Bag Unboxing

Happy Halloween everyone!

I adore Kawaii items and as soon as I saw Kawaii Wonderland were doing a lucky bag for Halloween, I snapped one up. I love the excitement of Halloween and want to watch Addam's family and Hocus Pocus again. You can't beat a bit of nostalgia. When I was little I used to love lucky bags and as I have grown up I'm still the same and love them. I think it's because you don't know what you're receiving so it's a great surprise and like Christmas or Birthday time and I want to relive that feeling throughout the year too. These lucky bags were £10 each plus postage and packaging and it arrived super quick through the post. The Halloween ones have now sold out but soon Shell is launching some Christmas stocking filler ones which I will be trying to get my hands on too before they sell out.

My items were all inside the pink and white stripy paper bag and held together with the adorable Kawaii Wonderland unicorn logo sticker. When I was opening it up I pulled out one item at a time.

Here are all of the items that I received inside my lucky bag.

These are the Halloween items that I received. These bad boys are going to be keeping my feet warm today. The other choices were Frankenstein socks and variations on colours for the clips and badge. Look at the skeleton hair clips. They are creepy. Think I will wear these in my hair today.

How cute is the little spider badge too! She is adorable. If they looked like this in real life, I would keep one as a pet!

I love Cinnamoroll and here Hello Kitty is dressed up in an outfit and I'm going to put these on my keys. 

Rilakkuma is adorable and I received a coffee and chocolate coaster which I'll start using straight away.

I used to have a pen like this and I loved it. You press the little spring down for the colour that you want and write away.

I received Rilakumma stickers which is great as who doesn't love the bear?

Oooo and I love the cat post it notes to stick in notebooks or for remembering pages in a book/ magazine.

Finally I received these sweeties which I think mine were cola flavoured. You get three in a pack and two taste yummy and the third is sour and made me pull a face. I thought I was doing well but then it hit me. It was the last one I ate too!

Overall- I love the lucky bag. My favourite items are the socks and the little cat post its.

Clothes Show presents haul

I absolutely love going to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham and usually go with my mum for a Christmas treat. We decided not to go this year and I really missed it. One of my mum's colleagues said that she would pick us some goody bags up which is an amazingly kind and selfless thing to do and I can't thank her enough.

My favourites are the pink zone which houses all of the make up and the fashion show which has amazing routines and is uplifting. I usually go crazy buying all of the goody bags going.

I really wanted the Models Own limited edition turquoise glitter polish in 'Showstopper' and got two of these. This polish looks amazing on too.

Here's what my mum bought me for my presents.

 I was lucky to get four make up goody bags; 2x Models Own, Jelly Pong Pong and Barry M.

Here's the contents of my Jelly Pong Pong bag. The stand at the clothes show always look absolutely gorgeous with glitter and butterflies and they show you the contents clearly in a glass case. Their make up is usually expensive so I love these goody bags as you receive a selection of their make up. They have changed the gift bag that they are contained in too this year and I prefer it as it's prettier.

 Here's my Barry M goody bag. Each year they change the container that the make up is in and it's usually a make up bag. 

 These are all the goodies that are contained inside and they each vary slightly as my mum got one too and she has a few different polishes.

These are the contents of the Models Own goody bag. I usually just choose the polishes for my bag but my mum's friend chose me a cola lip gloss and a bronzer too. I have lots of Models Own polishes and they are always bringing out new collections. I was over the moon to she had picked up a splash landing polish for me too and I also didn't have the pink glitter one either. My favourite polishes are glitter as I just add another coat when they start to chip, they look more effective and they are longer lasting on me too.

As well as choosing polishes you also get a bag of goodies too which includes a lip gloss, eyeliners, nail buffer, limited edition polish and eyeshadow applicators.

I can't wait to try out all of these items and as you can see I love glittery make up!

Inside my AX Paris goody bag !

I got invited to the AX Paris party and I would have loved to have gone but I live around 8 hours away! I love their pretty dresses so much and own some in my wardrobe :)

On etailPR FB page they were running a competition to win 1 of 10 goody bags from the event and I was so excited to receive an e-mail letting me know that I had won one.

The parcel arrived this morning and here are photographs of what I received and my first initial thoughts of each product <3

Thankyou so much to etailPR and AX Paris I need to buy a dress from you for the party season :)

Canvas shopper with AX Paris logo.

 All of the items came inside this re-usable shopper with AX Paris' logo on. It was exciting to find out what was contained inside.

Branded goodies.

 I saw the yummy branded biscuits and will share these later on with my other half when he finishes work ! Yum- a nice touch! I like how they are tied with the cute pink string and wrapped. They look too pretty to eat!

All of contents included.

 I emptied all of the items out and saw all of this <3 It's like receiving Christmas presents. So lucky !

Zoeva makeup brush.

I've not heard of this brand before and I don't own too many make up brushes. I took this out of the posh packaging and oh my!!!! The brush is super soft and lush. I absolutely love it. I could just sit there stroking it haha!

Mousse and skin care.

 Pleased to receive some mousse spray as this will be great on my wavy hair. I've not tried this before but I love the hot pink packaging.
I'd not seen this cream before but can't wait to try it out as it has Argan oil in it.

Teapigs superfruit, Neal & Wolf, Collection eyeliner, Dr. Lipp cream

 I love Neil & Wolf they used to have all the products at my last hairdressers. They smell gorgeous and have great results so my face lit up when I received these sachets of shampoo and conditioner. I will have lush smelling hair!
I like how the Teapigs is full of superberries . I will try this but whenever I see hot fruit drink they remind me of Lemsips and I cannot drink them for the life of me! I can taste the paracetamol and they are just yuk! They make me feel worse. However this will make me feel better!
I already have two samples of Dr.Lipp from my beauty box subscriptions but another one will be handy.
The Collection fast stroke eyeliner will come in very handy for parties. I love to wear liquid eye liner for nights out. I don't tend to wear it for everyday use but it looks super-glam when I dress up- which I love to do.

Gem rock and infinity ring

 Love , love , love <3 I've not heard of Kukee before but I certainly have now. I need to check out some more of their items as I love these.
I love crystals and gems sooooooo much and I haven't taken this ring off yet. It's super sparkly and gorgeous <3
I also love the infinity ring- it reminds me a little of the tv series Revenge which is also amazing (although they have double infinity) This would be a fab gift for Valentine's Day to show everlasting love <3

Kukee rings

Scratch nail wraps, Barry M matte nail polish and Kolor cubes nail polish.

Looooove nail wraps. I've got lots to try out waiting already! I've not heard of scratch before but I am impressed with the geometric designs of these. I'm usually a Barbie girl but I have tendencies to change up my style frequently. I love how effective these are going to look.
Can't wait to try this Barry M Matte nail polish! I love a bit of Barry :) Even though this is not a colour I would choose myself I really really like it!
I've not heard of Kolor Kubes before but I like the chunky cube bottle and the colour will be great for the festive season.

Yay! Love my goodies so much !

Thanks to etailPR, AX Paris and the sponsors and people who put these goody bags together.

B. Live life beautifully

A few weeks ago I won a competition with Fabulous magazine and received a Superdrug goody bag which contained make-up items for the brand B. which is exclusively available from Superdrug.
I had not heard of the brand B. before so now that I have received the products I will try them out. Superdrug had popped it in a pink bubble-wrapped mailbag which I loved!

On first impressions the packaging is simple and quite plain and I would have quite easily bypassed this range as it is not eye-catching. The logo is clear and simple but doesn't really suit my personality and what I would personally choose. I am a sucker for packaging.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the quality of the products is like. I like how they are not tested on animals.

The B. range includes skincare and make-up.

"We believe in every woman’s instinct to recognise and appreciate the beauty that surrounds her. From people and places, to sights and sounds.

We’re here to give every woman the knowledge and tools to feel her most beautiful every day. Our skincare and makeup is specially formulated to really work and is designed to be easy to use and understand.
It’s our vision to be part of what makes you and your life beautiful.

Live life beautifully."

 

B. products are not tested on animals and have the leaping bunny symbol of Cruelty Free International (formerly BUAV).

 

The B. range is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. All products have been dermatologically approved and are paraben-free.

At the moment Superdrug have an offer on where you buy one and get your second item half price.

The products I received were;
Lipstick in Bellini £7.99 A coral colour. Love the name too as I love cocktails!
Rejuvenating serum Skin phase- full size is £13.99 for 30ml. I received a 5ml mini tube.
B. Stunning vibrant eye shimmer in the shade 146 Royal £6.99 which is a purple colour with shimmer. On first initial thoughts, it's not my preferred make-up colour as it goes with green eyes more and mine are blue but I will try it out.
B. B.B cream £10.99 a complete 6 in 1 beauty balm with spf 15 in the shade medium. I'm looking forward to trying that out.
B. Smokey eyeliner £4.49 in the shade chocolate. It has a smudger on one end too. I'm looking forward to trying this out to see if it is soft and blendable.
B. Quick 4-in-1 cleansing wipes £3.50 for 25 wipes.
B. Complete Nail Polish £4.99 in the shade Bubblegum which is so me. If I was in store and got to choose I would definitely buy this shade. I hope it lasts a long time as it states as I find that polish chips really easily on my nails.

Thankyou Superdrug- I received a variety of products that I was lucky enough to win!

Have you tried out anything from this range before?
