World Duty Free Makeup Shopping

11th July 2016

Hi All,

Happy Monday, I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I’ve been meaning to put this post up for a few weeks now so please forgive me but I’m only just getting around to it, but I thought as It’s holiday season and lots of you are going away I thought it would be the perfect time to post this as I’m sure a lot of us girls check out Word duty free especially for makeup!

We go away quite a lot and I always like to have a look in duty free but some times I don’t always buy stuff, say if I’m going to America as I like to save my money for Sephora and ulta etc but my boyfriend recently went away for a few days and brought me back a couple of presents from world duty free, I’m so glad he supports and understands my makeup addiction ha ha! He did ask me if I needed anything and I just asked if he would have a quick look at the benefit counter as I love all the little sets they do. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest as let’s be honest what man enjoys looking at makeup or even asking for help at a makeup counter ha ha, but I was surprised When he came back with a couple of goodies, so I just wanted to do a little post on these and show you what I got.

 

First up is the benefit do the hoola set which I think he said he paid  £23 for which isn’t bad for what you get, I think other places sell this for about £28. Like I said I love benefit sets, they are so cute and it’s such a good way to test out some of the products, I already love the hoola bronzer but I’m yet to try out the new liquid version so I’m excited this set has it. Plus don’t you think there is just something about mini makeup that is just so cute ?

The set includes

  • Hoola bronzing powder mini.
  • Dew The Hoola liquid bronze mini.
  • Benebalm hydrating tinted lip balm mini.
  • They’re Real! Mascara mini in black.
  • Hoola Ultra Plush Lip Gloss mini.

I love the fact these are travel size, they’re so perfect to put in my makeup bag, and I like trying these size products first, so If I love a particular product I can buy the full size.

 

 

He also phoned me while he was there and asked about this Nars studio cheek palette, he knows I love my palettes and I actually don’t own much from Nars apart from a few brushes so I was excited to get this, it’s the perfect face palette, it has contour, highlight, bronzer,  and 4 blush shades so this is really handy for travel as well, I think it has everything you need in a face palette. I also love the packaging too, the fact it has the silver mirror finish on the front it’s different to NARS standard soft rubber textured packaging.

I’ve looked everywhere for the shade names in this palette as on the back it just has numbers so I believe this is correct as its from the Nars website.

The palette shades are:

  • Paloma contour duo 
  • Famous Laguna bronzer 
  • I Blush in Icy Lilac
  • II Blush in Sausalito Sunset
  • III Blush in Shimmering Rose Peach
  • IV Blush in Fleshy Pink

I might do a more in-depth review on this with swatches etc if anyone is Interested,  just let me know.

I believe he said he paid about £40 for this, he couldn’t remember exactly which isn’t helpful to my post but when I had a look online I think this retailed for around £49 so again it’s worth having a look at duty free as you can save your self a few ££s

I know a few girls I follow on twitter are on holiday at the moment and have or are picking up some duty free goodies. Us girls don’t need an excuse to buy makeup do we??

Let me know if you have picked up any duty free makeup recently on your travels  🙂

Also quick tip if you go on the world duty free website and click your terminal number you can see what brands are stocked at that particular Terminal which is handy.

Thanks for reading

      I can’t believe I haven’t tried any Nars powders before!! Lol This palette is perfect to try a bit of everything. It seems to be very popular.

Instagram post 2195956230747653109_1783056942 Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
Instagram post 2194485613385040070_1783056942 I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Instagram post 2191427262954847526_1783056942 Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Instagram post 2161898517256610027_1783056942 Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Instagram post 2159733328956404215_1783056942 Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
Instagram post 2158948923392640130_1783056942 I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Instagram post 2153923616537239998_1783056942 Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
Instagram post 2145183689364329446_1783056942 I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Instagram post 2141417990762366426_1783056942 Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
Instagram post 2140125822890435114_1783056942 So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
Instagram post 2137810722707854654_1783056942 Another dried flower display I’ve done for my kitchen. Not going to lie, I think this one might be my favourite🙊 I looked everywhere for white jugs, and found the bigger one in Homesense and the smaller one is from ikea. 🌾☺️
Instagram post 2136361341081284264_1783056942 The desk and beauty room only looks like this 2 or 3 days out of the week 🙈 I spend more time cleaning up all the wreckage of getting ready each day. But it’s so satisfying when it’s all tidy again 🖤
Instagram post 2132679529616284897_1783056942 I Love a coffee table display book as people call them. Although I actually love reading them, and using the pages and the art in my photos as backgrounds. I need to get back into taking more photos like that but I’m enjoying posting and sharing more lifestyle photos as that’s what I’m currently loving 🖤 but here’s a couple of shelves from my unit in the living room 😊
Instagram post 2128377421626793349_1783056942 Sunday chores calls for cleaning, washing and ironing. 🧼 🧹 👚👖 but it’s crazy how having my new utility room actually makes me enjoy cleaning and doing my washing now. Just love how everything is organised and easy to find and separate from the kitchen. 😊
