Sunday Haul...
As I had to go food shopping this morning, I decided to pop into Boots beforehand.
I got Lola by Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum Spray in Pochette set, which looks gorgeous...
It's a new, limited edition version of LOLA and it comes with 2x 20ml vials. You simply push one into the case and pop it in your bag. Perfect for top-ups on the go!
I plan on keeping the perfume in this case when I'm out & about so that it doesn't get scratched. The case is equal parts cute & tacky and I love it : )
The one on the right was inside the metal case and the one on the left was wrapped in tissue paper. As soon as I took the cellophane off, I could smell the perfume immediately. I am both disappointed and annoyed at this - not just because the set costs £42!! I have sent an email to Coty, as I don't hold out much hope of Boots being able to help. I hope it can be sorted out soon, as I only have one vial and they don't sell spares as an extra. Not only that, but it doesn't even spray!
I plumped for these goodies...

As well as the metal case and perfume vials, it also comes with a pochette (posh word for case!)...

Sadly, one of the vials leaked...

On a happier note, I also got 2 Barry M nail polishes...
279 Bright Pink & 305 Pink Flamingo
I already have one each of these, but as they were 2 for £5, I decided to buy spares in time for Summer!
Aside from this little haul, I also got my much-coveted Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Starter Kit yesterday : ) I have wanted to try this for ages, so I am really excited to finally be using it. I have used it twice so far (last night and this morning) and I'm looking forward to seeing if it removes all of my makeup. Compared to Clinique (where I needed 1 product for removing eye makeup, 1 product for removing facial makeup & then a separate cleanser) Cleanse & Polish claims to remove it all. This will save me both time and money, so I can't wait to see how it copes with removing foundation, powder, blusher, concealer, gel eyeliner & mascara! I am planning on a review post when I've been using it for a couple of weeks. So far, I love it, so watch this space!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend x
love the little Lola pouch, so pretty x
ReplyDeleteI'd have taken that back to Boots asap, they would have changed it no bother.. xx
ReplyDeleteNice! :) Lola smells wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBoth these Barry M's are favourites of mine! Hope you manage to get the perfume sorted, it's so disappointing when things like that happen. x
ReplyDelete@Gem... it's so cute, I love it! :) x
ReplyDelete@Nude Obsession... I would have done, but it's a 24 mile round trip! I think I will call them tomorrow and see what they have to say (although I can't get there in the week as my job is 45 miles in the other direction!) I hope they can :) x
@Rainy Days and Lattes... It's one of my favourite Marc Jacobs scents :) x
@missy_ellie_uk... they're great aren't they? such great colours! thank you - I hope so too! :) x
Both nail polishes look gorgeous! I love Barry M x
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely contact Boots! I think you'll have better luck
ReplyDelete@GABY... me too! they do some amazing shades & the quality is great for the price :) x
ReplyDelete@SweetLikeJelly... I will today - I hope they'll change it otherwise I'm stuck with a 20ml vial I can't use! thanks for following :) x
