HAUL | iHERB

YES! My package finally arrived, and I'm finally able to write about this!

iHerb Haul

Look at all these goodies I got. I haven't tried any of them yet due to my extremely tight schedule I had. But I just have to showoff to everyone what I got. 

First, I got a toothpaste.

EarthPaste in Cinnamon

Dragged this into my shopping cart under the influence of Caitie and Brianna. Those two girls...I don't know how they do it, but they always tempts me in buying things I absolutely don't need! I wasn't in a rush to get a toothpaste as I'm still using my tooth powder. I wonder if this will make my teeth a bit whiter.

Rosewater & Glycerin

I hesitated to buy this one. I was torn between the George Aloe Water recommended by Brianna, and this one. But then, I obviously ended up getting this one instead. Heard so many good reviews about rosewater. Wanted to give it a try. My face has been really dry for as long as I can remember, and really need some moisture to moisture it up. I also heard somewhere that I can spray this as a room spray? And then I can also spray it on my hair? Not sure. Will have to check up on that. Also, on a side note, will be getting the Aloe Vera one on my next purchase! (yes...got tempted again). 

J.R. Liggett's Coconut & Argan Oil Shampoo Bar

Yes! A shampoo bar! Had to get rid of my Head & Shoulder ASAP! Did not try it yet as I wasn't sure how to use it. But I can't wait to start using it. Found this brand through Britanie when she was sharing her No-Poo method. Did you see those pictures of her amazingly wavy, shiny, smooth hair? Wow...

The one thing I was quite disappointed about this product is that IT'S SO SMALL! Well it's not that of a big deal, but it was smaller than expected.

Size of Shampoo Bar

Size of Shampoo compared to my hand

It's tiny tiny. But smells actually good! Was absolutely not expecting that from bar shampoos. The ingredients are also wonderful!

Badger Company Hair Oil

And then got this to give my hair a little mask every week. Heard wonderful reviews from Nicole as well as Britanie. It also smells wonderful! Will be reviewing when I get to try it!

Badger Company Face Oil

Got this for my dry figure. My dryness is hindering my foundation routine! Still haven't opened this yet! But can't wait to try it tonight before I go to sleep. And yes, as you can kind of see, I'm currently having a slight little addiction to Badger Company's item.

Almond Oil

Why did I even get this...I forgot. I included this in my shopping cart a month ago, and I can't really remember what I wanted to do with it. But I think removing my makeup with it, and giving myself some facial oil massage would be a great idea! 

Sorry for this short post, but I haven't tried any of them yet. Not even opened them! Just took the time to take some pictures, and that's it.

Will have more intensive reviews when I actually give them a try.

HAUL | All Natural Face

Halou  Sweeties and Pumpkins! Kiwee Blog Day today! How was your weekend? ;)

My first haul post! 

I've actually purchased from ANF (All Natural Face) before, but I never really thought about doing a haul post. Tell me if you guys would like to read more haul post! ^.^

For those that are not quite sure what ANF is, ANF is a, as you might have guessed, an all natural beauty indie store. I've first heard about this store through iluvjesse444, but let's skip all this blabla and get to the haul!

ANF HAUL

TADA! Look at all these goodies that I got. 

• 4 eye shadows
• 2 lip products
• 1 eye diva stick
• 1 creme foundation 
• 1 creme blush
• 2 Food cleanser!
• 1 free sample 

Eye Shadows

I got the colors in Midnight Black, Fawn, Creme Brulee, and Pink Ice Storm. Two of the colors are shimmers, and two are matte.

First on picture is the Pink Ice Storm, which seems to look whiteish. I took the picture in daylight with no flash, and I guess that "white" is the shimmering part of the shadow. But this is a very light pinkish eye shadow. It is a very shimmery and I absolutely love the color. (Bare with me...this is my first time doing swatches like this...so if you have any suggestions, please tell me! ^.^)

The Creme Brulee is a very light brown. It is also a shimmery. Perfect for neutral looks.

The third one is Fawn and it's a matte eye shadow. I guess the color is so similar to the color of my hand that it is not quite showing. Perfect for neutral matte looks. 

The last one is Midnight Black is also a matte eye shadow. It's super super black. 

I got both the Creme Brulee & Pink Ice Storm after seeing them being used in a couple of Brianna's (iluvjesse444) videos, and I absolutely love them. However, I was scared I would look kind of weird with shimmering eye shadow so I got the Fawn shade. I've tried them all and I'm pretty impressed with them. These eye shadows are extremely pigmented. Sadly, they don't last long. I have oily eye lids, and no primer...So these eye shadows were gone in about...2 hours I think. Up to now, my favorite are the Creme Brulee , Pink Ice Storm, and the Midnight Black which I use as an "eye liner". The Fawn doesn't show much on my eyelids....so can't really say if I like it or not. Overall, I'm very pleased with this. Definitely have to use them over primers though.

Lip Products

These are the two lip products I got. One is a lip gloss (in Glazed Strawberries), and the other one is a Diva Stix (in Red Clay). 

I'm not a lip gloss person, but I fell in love right away with this Glazed Strawberries. It got such a nice red, pink, coral color. It's not oily when applied on the lips and moisturizes at the same time! However, the product would dry out on the lips (without drying the lips), which gives it more of a lipstick look. AND I LOVE IT! 

Sadly, I'm a little disappointed with the red clay. Have not tried it yet, but the color is...meh...Not sure if it's going to look fine on me. Will update. 

Eye Diva Stix

The next product I got is the Eye Diva Stix in Milk, which is simply white. Haven't really used it yet, but the texture looks very creamy. Heard a lot of great reviews about this one. I also heard it was kind of like a dupe for the NYX jumbo pencils. Will be back with a review ;). Now, I just gotta find a sharpener to sharpen it! =(

Creme Foundation

This goodie came with the white sponge. I added that little scoop to show that I'm using that to scoop up this foundation. I don't really like sticking my fingers into the products, so I guess using this scoop is kind of helpful. Haven't used it a lot of times. But up to now, I'm pretty satisfied with it. I had a major difficulty finding my shade...and I'm still not 100% if this is my shade or not...haha. Never tried any creme foundations before so can't really compare to other creme foundations. But it's really creamy. 

I got it in the shade True Beige, and it's apparently a NC 25/30 (for MAC color comparison). Not sure if you can see it well on my hand....guess it is my shade after all...maybe O.o I'll tell you why I had so much difficulty when I'll review this. xD

Creme Blush

Brianna really sold this product to me (haha). After seeing all those videos on how amazing the ANF creme blush were, I just had to get at least one to try. Let me tell you, I absolutely love this. I'm definitely planning on getting more creme blushes from them!

This is the color in Everyday Is A Goodday. And really, this is great for everyday wear. It gives just that slight slight hint of redness in your face that gives you a very natural look. 

Food Cleanser

For those that read my review on these face food cleansers, you guys know how much I love this. So I purchased two more! And I'm planning to order more of these and probably even try more flavors! Love love these, and definitely recommending this! Can't stress out how much I'm in love with this. 

Free Sample

Every time you make an order at ANF, they would always include a little surprise in there. The first time I got an eye shadow in blue. The second time I got a brush. And this time I got this cute little lip gloss. It got a gorgeous pinky pink color. I haven't tried it yet.

This is the swatch. But here's something I don't really understand. Can you guys guess what's the name of this lip gloss? It's the Glazed Strawberries that I mentioned previously. The color came out very different than the one from the full size. Which is kind of bizarre... I'm also wondering why they included a sample size of an item I'm already purchasing in the full size? xD Well, I don't really mind as I'm getting more products of something I'm currently really enjoying. However, the difference in color was a little bit weird. Will have to look up into that. 

That's it for my ANF haul! Up to now, I'm really really impressed and satisfied with these products! And I'm definitely planning on purchasing more from them! Especially with the price of the products as well as the shipping fee....ah~ simply amazing. 

One downside though is that they seem to never reply to their emails....I'm not sure if I'm sending my mails to the wrong email address or not... It would definitely be more enjoyable if they had a better customer service I guess. But then again, I can totally understand how busy Crystal is...so I'm not sure if I should be complaining here.

Also, some of the products spilled out a little. But this is a really minimal problem. 

Ok ok, done for today! That's it! Hope you guys enjoyed it, and have a nice week!

Have you guys tried ANF before? Will you be trying? Any favorite products? Wishlist? xD
