Fragrance Direct Revlon Nail Polish Haul


Hi guys! Those of you who are followers of Bee's Knees will know that I am a complete and utter nail polish addict. I love the stuff, and have plenty of it. But that doesn't stop me from buying more... oh no! Quite the opposite - I'm sometimes a bit compulsive about having to 'complete' my nail polish collection! So when I had a little bit of time on my hands last week I found myself perusing Fragrance Direct for beauty bargains, and here's what I bought!


As you can see I ended up with quite a few new polishes! I adore the formula of Revlon's nail varnish, and couldn't resist adding these beauties to my collection because they were only 99p each!


I picked up two Top Speed formulas in the world's most beautiful royal blue (Royal) and a unique orange/red metallic shade. You can treat yourself to these too for 99p HERE.


I also got three of the regular Revlon formulas, Stunning is a glitter top coat that looks amazing with large silver/white glitter pieces. Charismatic is a pretty pastel orange that reminds me of one of my all time favourites, Collection Hot Looks Fruit Loop. And Blue Lagoon looks like a dupe for Essie's popular Bikini So Teeny with its tiny shimmery particles and gorgeous baby blue shade. Again these were a mere 99p each and you can find them all HERE.


Whilst I was browsing I came across this fast try base coat from Sally Hansen for £1.50. It's no secret that I adore the Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat and since my base coat is on it's last legs I popped this in my basket to try. Stay tuned for my thoughts! If you want to give this a go too you can find it HERE.

Have you bought any new polishes recently? What's your favourite brand?

Fragrance Direct Haul #2 - feat. Dainty Doll

Hi guys! Well, I have been a busy girl.. Since my first purchase of Dainty Doll from TK Maxx (post HERE), and my second encounter with the brand ordering from Fragrance Direct (post HERE) I have now placed two more orders with Fragrance Direct! TWO! I have completely fallen for Dainty Doll, and I've been using some of their products on a daily basis. Reviews will be coming soon!

Anyway, this is the first of the two orders I placed. I placed two orders because Fragrance Direct keep restocking Dainty Doll products, so I've snapped up items that were out of stock for me before.


As always, lush packaging and nice branding.. here's what I picked up:


I already have some blushers from the range which I have loved and been using a lot so I was keen to try some different ones! After my disappointing experience with the Soap & Glory concealer (it was way too dark - review HERE) I decided to try the Dainty Doll concealer to see if it would work for my under eye circles.


I got the concealer in the lightest shade - Abracadabra 001 (link), and two powder blushers; 004 You Are My Sunshine (adore this name!) and 002 My Girl (link):


I grabbed the concealer pen, again in the lightest shade 001 It's a Kind of Magic - one of my favourite songs! (link):


& finally a random eyeshadow - there are quite a few eyeshadow shades available but I use palettes mostly so only picked up shade 002 Treat Her Like A Lady (a sort of taupe/grey) (link):


All the items were £1.99 - yes you read that right. Less than £2 for products that I will probably love and use a lot if my experiences so far are anything to go by. The links I've posted were all accurate at the time I typed this up but if anything's out of stock it's worth looking again in a day or so's time to see if they have restocked.

I will be reviewing everything in due course - I know I've been haulin' a lot recently (I wish there was a song for that, sort of like the "everyday I'm shufflin'" but for beauty bloggers...) and I haven't yet reviewed a lot of my purchases but I am reigning myself in with the excessive spending and will make sure I get some reviews up pronto!

Have you tried Dainty Doll yet?

Fragrance Direct haul

So a couple of weeks ago I placed an order with Fragrance Direct for the first time - this was prompted by two things! First, the 10% off voucher code I found when I was putting together a weekly Spendthrift Saturday post, and second the excellent quality of the Dainty Doll products I picked up from TK Maxx (post HERE) - I knew there were some more items on FD and placed an order pronto!

Here's what I got:


Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen - an oldie but a goodie (which I've never reviewed, so review coming soon!) I usually buy this from Boots but it was £1.50 from FD! Click!


I had been lusting after Revlon Top Speed in Cloud for a long, long time - before Christmas I think! I spotted this Matte Suede colour at the same time and because they were only 99p each I couldn't resist picking up both. I haven't worn either yet but Cloud was featured in my Spring Pastels post HERE. FD link for Ruby Ribbon HERE and Cloud HERE.


The two Dainty Doll blushes I picked up were Orange County Girl and Hippy Shake. Since they arrived I've been using both religiously and love them, I'm hoping to get a review up soon! Click HERE to purchase for a crazy £1.99 (while you still can as they keep selling out!)


I picked up Saucy Sailor and It's My Party lipsticks - I've not worn these out yet but swatched they're beautiful, and again only £1.99. Click!


Finally I picked up a black eyeliner pencil (Proud Mary) for 99p!- I've used this and it's not earth shattering but good quality so far. Click.
