Alice's Room Makeover 2: Bedroom Home Haul

Hi all! As promised, another blog post in my "Room Makeover" series - click HERE to see the other post where I share my bedroom inspiration.
I've have picked up a few bits here and there, so I decided to share with you what I have purchased for my room! It's all starting to come together now, especially the color scheme (which is blue, white, and orange if you hadn't guessed).  |
| I picked up this cheeky sausage dog cushion from Freedom Furniture. I'm using this cushion as my "color inspiration" - white, blue, and orange. I liked how it was clean and crisp; no fluffy tassels or texture to it, which is a nice balance to the other cushions on my bed, and the textured throw. Next, I found this beautiful dark blue throw which went perfectly with the cushion and the "beachy", not too feminine theme. |
 |
| I found these 2 cushions lying about in my house - a cream cushion with white detailing, and a woven blue cushion. The three together look amazing. |
 |
| I also changed my colorful duvet cover to a simple, textured white one (which we already had). |
 |
| This is honestly everything I could want in a frame - rustic, beachy... just perfect. I love the wooden, over sized frame, and I think that the brown wooden areas against the white wood makes it look really unique and aged (... in a good way). As you can see everything is slowly, but surely coming together and the colors are all looking cohesive, but not too matchy. I've took my desk out of my room as it unnecessarily took up so much room. Make sure to follow me on Bloglovin to stay updated on new blog posts, however, if you do not have a Bloglovin account you can follow my Instagram (which I created a week ago!) and I will update you on there. Love you all!

The first product I got was the Sleek Blush By 3 palette in lace. This has a beautiful orange peachy shade, a shimmery coral/rose gold shade, and a bright pinky coral shade. All three colors are absolutely beautiful, and the pigmentation is amazing.
|
 |
Another thing I love about this makeup brand is its simplistic packaging. Both palettes were very thin yet sturdy, and had a matte black look with shiny black lettering.
|
 |
Next, I got the Sleek i-Divine eye shadow palette in au natural. This palette is beautiful - it contains every nude shadow you could need. The palette has everything from a matte white, matte black, shimmery browns and taupe's, and other matte transition colors. The texture is smooth and the shadows are pigmented. I love this eye shadow palette more than my urban decay naked palette, simply because the color and finish selection is better and more diverse, and there is absolutely no fall out.
|
 |
If you are a beginner to makeup, the back of the product contains suggestions on creating your eye shadow look.
|
 |
Beautiful right! Some of my favorite shades are cappuccino, conker, moss, and regal.
|
 |
Top row (left to right): nougat, Nubuck, cappuccino, honeycomb, toast, taupe.
Bottom row (left to right): conker, moss, bark, mineral earth, regal, noir.
|
 |
Nougat, nubuck, cappuccino, honeycomb.
|
 |
Toast, taupe, conker.
|
 |
Moss, bark, mineral earth.
|
 |
Regal, noir.
|
 |
Overall, these products definitely lived up to my expectations and are worth the hype. I will do some future makeup looks featuring these palettes, and hopefully in the future I will get some more. Love you all!

From asos I purchased the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder. I was so exited to buy this, as I have struggled to find a non orange bronzing powder for a very long time. The packaging is like a cardboard book, and inside the product is shaped like 4 squares of chocolate. The consistency is very smooth and the product is reasonably matte.
|
  |
From Beauty Joint, I purchased 3 of the NYX butter glosses, as I heard they were creamy, pigmented and non sticky. I was intrigued to see if it would live up to my expectation, and I can now say that they are one of my favorite lip gloss formulas I've ever tried.
The colors are absolutely beautiful, and the texture is extremely creamy and smooth. The color pay off is fantastic as well, and they are easy to layer or sheer out.
|
 |
Eclair (a beautiful pastel pink, with purple undertones), tiramisu (a beige nude - my favorite color out of the three), peaches and cream (a bright, coral pink color).
|
 |
Swatches left to right: eclair, tiramisu, peaches and cream
|
 |
I also bought 2 Wetnwild lip sticks, mainly because they were extremely affordable and there where some dupes to some mac lipsticks. Unfortunately I was not as impressed with these as I was with the butter glosses, mainly because the packaging was very cheap and the lipstick could break in half. In saying that however, the product is quite matte, and the opacity is fantastic although they are slightly drying.
|
 |
Pinkerbell, 24 carrot gold (a dupe for Macs morange)
|
 |
I love wearing pinkerbell under the NYX peaches and cream gloss, and the 24 carrot gold is really beautiful when you blend it out with an orange balm (I used Clinique chubby stick in oversized orange).
|
 |
The last thing I bought was the elf Eyebrow Kit in medium. I had heard many positive things about this product, and I absolutely love it. One side is a darker, brown gel, the other more of a lighter beige brown powder.
There you go! I hope you enjoyed this blog post, If you want to see more hauls let me know. Make sure to comment down below what you think I should try out next, and leave any blog post requests down below. Also if you have a blog of your own, let me know and I will check you out! Love you all!
