Quick Look at My Cherry Culture Haul - In-Depth Review to Come!

Hey guys! I'm in the middle of uni exams now (literally have one tomorrow), so I can't do a big long blog post as much as I'd like to, but I didn't want to leave you with nothing to read so I thought I'd quickly do a little post whilst on my study break.

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should - @jemsbeautyau), you'd know I just got my haul from Cherry Culture. It only took six days to get here! (Including a public holiday!) Super impressed.

Here's what I got:

A bunch of NYX lip products at obscenely cheap US prices, a NYX blush, a couple of Jordana pieces and an amazing Milani Baked Blush.

Here's everything laid out:
- Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last Eyeshadow Stick in Almond
- NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in San Paulo, Cannes, Zurich, Transylvania, Morocco (I REALLY wanted Prague and Copenhagen but they didn't have them)
- NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Nude Peach Fuzz
- NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu
- NYX Butter Lipstick in Pops
- NYX Blush in Taupe
- Jordana Blush in Rich Sorbet
- Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso

I'm so excited! Heaps of these (especially the Matte Lip Creams) have been on my wishlist for about six months now, and I finally had enough things I wanted to justify the shipping cost.

I'm really glad I finally got to try some things not available in Australia, since most of my beauty research takes place on /r/MakeupAddiction where many of the posters are American. So I've been reading about these products and brands for months and finally they are in my possession! Feels quite surreal to tell you the truth. I can't imagine the day where these American brands (I know NYX is available in Australia but the selection is SO limited and we are about 6 months behind on releases) are readily available in Target or Priceline or Myer. Seems unlikely but we'll see! Especially with the opening of Sephora (hopefully) this year in Sydney, maybe this is a huge turning point for the Australian cosmetic industry.

I digress. (I can't help but typing away and going off on a random tangent). It's not often I can do a big haul like this since its such a large chunk of money at once, even though per unit its way cheaper, so I was super super excited!

Again, I'll do a big review once my exams are over. Here are some swatches of all the lip products though!

Hope this piques your interest for a further blog post, it'll be up within the next week I promise! Sorry for being so MIA, again once I get a decent camera and maybe a bigger income (once I'm on holidays and can earn some money), I'll be posting more frequently.

Until then, I'm always posting random things on Instagram and babbling away even more, so if you are interested in seeing more of my go follow me there!

Thanks for reading!
