Zoella Beauty Haul + Review

There are two things that equal a dangerous situation for my bank account: my debit card and Internet. 
The other week while on a particularly boring bus journey to school, my friend was telling me all about her Zoella Beauty products that had recently arrived for her birthday. She was super excited about the fact that it all smelt amazing and that the beauty bag/pencil case was a really decent size. Since Zoe launched Zoella Beauty I have been desperate to buy some of the products, but living all the way down in little ol' NZ, I didn't have the luxury of going to a store and being able to see the products in person which unnerved me a lot. 

So, with my friends recommendation and encouragement, our bus ride turned into an impromptu online shopping experience. 

I used www.feelunique.com and wow was it a breeze purchasing from this website. It was quick and easy to use, and my order arrived 6 days after I placed my order. This was probably the most amazing thing about my experience, simply because anything that has to ship to NZ takes an age to arrive because we are so far away from anywhere, so I was fully expecting to wait at least a week and a half, so I was pleasantly surprised at how quick my order arrived. So, 10/10 for Feel Unique. Also, for orders over £10.00, it's free shipping so bonus! 





Also, I was pleased to see that steps were taken to ensure that my purchase arrived in good condition. 

ZOELLA BEAUTY MAKEUP BAG/PENCIL CASE 


I picked this one mainly because I liked the gold spots, and despite my aversions to pink, I actually don't mind this colour and the gold and pink is a combination that looks quite pretty. I do know the background story behind the 'just say...yes' and I think it's a great message, but it is one I personally struggle with, however, this one was my favourite due to the colours. 

I have chosen to use it as a makeup bag, and it is fantastic. It is such a great size, I can fit all of my everyday make up and it takes up only a quarter of the space. (My everyday make up collection consists of a powder, 2 mascaras, 2 eyeliner pencils, 2 eyeshadow brushes, 1 stippling brush, 1 powder brush, 1 concealer brush, 1 concealer, 1 BB Cream and 3 various lip products.) I also really like the shape of the bag, I feel like it would fit quite nicely into a suitcase or backpack and not take up too much room. The material of the bag is sturdy and I think it would clean quite well if makeup was spilt on it. 

It retails for £8.00 (GBP) 


ZOELLA BEAUTY CREAMY MADLY DREAMY BODY LOTION


I absolutely LOVE this body lotion. First of all, I love how pretty the packaging design is, I like how it's fairly simple and isn't overwhelming to look at. Second, it smells so lovely and not at all overpowering. It has enough scent so that you can sort of smell it on you, but not so much that you are conscious of it. It's a fresh scent with a slight floral tone to it and overall smells so, so good and the texture of the lotion is smooth and silky and my skin feels softer already after only a few uses. 

The lotion contains Aloe and Shea butter and vitamin E, it does contain parabens, but as I'm not using it on my face, I'm not worried about that. 

I will definitely purchase this again, I have fallen completely in love with it. 

It retails for £5.00 (GBP) 



Overall, I would definitely recommend both Zoella Beauty and Feel Unique. 



Thank you so much for reading, I hope you are having a good start to your week!
