Cult Beauty Haul & First Impressions

A few weeks ago I was reading A Girl And A Beauty Blog, and when I saw Siobhan mentioning Alpha-H Liquid Gold I instantly felt the urge to finally take the plunge and order it. I very rarely order things online but since I had a couple of other things in my mind I headed straight to Cult Beauty to make my first order.

Here’s what I got!

Alpha-H Discovery Collection (here)

This Cult Beauty exclusive set contains the Balancing Cleanser (30 ml), Liquid Gold (50 ml), Daily Essential Moisturizer SPF 50+ (30 ml) and Absolute Eye Complex (7.5 ml).

I find the size of the products perfect as you get to really use the product for a long time without investing in the full size, and let me tell you, this products are all worth doing so!

The Balancing Cleanser has an amazing texture and is really gentle on the skin: I’ve been using it in the morning and I’ve been loving it!

The Liquid Gold is even better than I expected it to be: having tried a couple of Glycolic Acid products I though I was going to know how this was going to perform, but I was wrong. It doesn’t tingle at all on my skin, and the morning after the skin is… Perfect. I have no other word to describe it, it’s almost like an application on the Glamglow Supermud Mask every other night! I’ve been following it with a sample of the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, and they’ve been a power couple (I need the full size of the Kiehl’s!).

The Daily Essential Moisturizer SPF 50+ might actually be my favourite product of the set. It’s a really high SPF… That dries mat, without having a runny consistency (like the Benefit one I reviewed here). I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by it that I think I’ve found my new daily moisturizer with SPF, it’s just so good!

The Absolute Eye Complex is a runny transparent serum, that’s quite hydrating and sits well under makeup. It’s so hard to say if an eye cream works in just a few days or even weeks, but this has been fine and I’m happily using it in the morning, keeping my Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment (I talked about it in my last monthly favourites!) for the night time for now.

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel (here)

I’ve been wanting this cleanser for ages, and I’m so glad I finally got it! It comes out like a pink/orange thick gel that goes on the skin like a balm and emulsifies with water. It’s amazing! Leaves the skin super soft and clean and it even works well with the Clarisonic. It has got the most gorgeous smell (I’d say it’s the geraniol and citronellol in the formula) and I really look forward to my evening cleanse since I added this to my routine. I really can see why it’s so well loved!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown (here)

I’ve never liked a single eyebrow pencil before this one. I’m being honest here, and again, I see the hype yet another time. I have quite full brows that only need to be evened out and I need to fill a gap in my left one without emphasizing it, and this product is perfect. The shade is spot on, and I’m so pleasantly surprised by this product that I still can’t believe it. I actually do my brows right after my foundation, concealer and powder as I really look forward to using this in the morning!

Dr. Bronner Castile Almond Liquid Soap (here)

Well, the only thing I can tell you about this product is that it smells amazing. I am a big lover of almond scented things and this one has the most gorgeous smell. I haven’t used it yet, so I can’t really say more, but I’ve read good things about it and I hope I’m going to love it too!

Tell me, do you love ordering things online? What have you ordered recently, from Cult Beauty or from another website? I look forward to your recommendations!
