Beauty Spend Report | February 2021

 

danielles beauty blog spend report

Uh oh, it’s that time again and I really did plan to be good this month but what started with a little slip became a full on slide into treat yo self territory as I started a new job and decided to reward myself muhahaha. 

 

cult beauty lip edit review
cult beauty the lip edit

Back in, I think January, I saw the Cult Beauty Lip Edit was coming soon so signed up to the waitlist. Unfortunately, it’s sold out now but it contains five lip products – the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Lip Pop, Huda Beauty Silk Balm and Patchology Flash Patch Hydrating Lip Gel which I haven’t tried before and the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm and Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss lip butter which I have! For £20 but with contents worth over £55 I couldn’t pass this up as I am going through lip balms like crazy at the minute and I had planned on repurchasing the Sol de Janeiro balm anyway as I loved it so much (it’s £15 alone!) It reminds me of the Sephora Favourites sets and I love the big reusable box it comes in too, I hope Cult Beauty do more of these! 

 

vieve sunset blush cherub review

Next up, another Cult Beauty order and I convinced myself I didn’t need these but then I got a 15% off code and couldn’t resist any longer! I picked up the Vieve Sunset Blush in Cherub (normally £23, I got for £19.55). This is a lot more pigmented than I thought it was going to be so requires a light hand but first impressions are good, it wears for an impressive amount of time! I also picked up the Ordinary Concealer in 1.1N (£4.90 but got for £4.17) which is unfortunately is a little too light for me, the formula itself seems good though, lightweight but not as much coverage as say the NARS Soft Matte concealer. The Charlotte Tilbury Hyaluronic Happikiss in Pillowtalk was the last product from this haul and at £25 full price it isn’t the most affordable lip balm I have in my collection, getting it for £21.25 made me feel a little better! The packaging is not quite as luxe as say the Superstar Lips but it’s a beautiful formula and shade and I can’t wait to wear it more! With this order I also got 5% cashback through my bank as they had a retailer offer with Cult Beauty so another £2.25 will go back into my bank account!

Lastly, I was missing my brow lady and getting sick of having to fill in my brows so much so I did a little order of the Eylure Dybrow Eyebrow Dye Kit in Dark Brown for £6.50. I am super happy with the results of this so far, I didn’t leave on for the full recommended time as it was the first time I had done my own brows but I was happy with the colour it gave so will keep it on longer next time! Also, not pictured is a last minute order of some black lash dye as I may as well go all out (£10.96)!

 

I also used Top Cashback on my Cult Beauty orders which will give me back 52p when it clears as well as the £2.25 from the bank! My final total spend was £82.43 instead of £90.36! There are a few things on my shopping list at the minute but they are mostly repurchases so I will try to make more of a concerted effort over the next few months with my spending! Hopefully my next beauty spend report will be an amalgamation of a couple of months! If you want to see Janaury’s Beauty Spend Report click here!

  4. I nearly bought that set, but decided against it in the end. I'm really hoping that Cult Beauty continue to do this style of set though as like you say it's so similar to the Sephora ones xx
