Dainty Doll via FD

Now I have never used either Fragrance Direct as a shop or Dainty Doll as a product till this week, but thanks to fellow blogger Fee I decided I needed to try both in my life. I was shocked when I saw how cheap the products are on Fragrancedirect.com but if you have never been there before it is worth a look. If nothing else delivery is only £2.99 1st class and £1.99 2nd class.

Needless to say with the low delivery charges and cheap prices I bought more than I intended and still had change from £25 purchases were 5 Dainty Doll products, 3 Essie nail polishes, 2 nail files, A macadamia leave in conditioner, a boujois eye shadow and a NYC lip stain. You don't need a math degree to work out even with first class postage that's on average £2 per product. Definitely cheaper than anywhere else. That said you won't necessarily find this seasons range on there but for classics and favourites you may well find a bargain, some of the essie nail colours were last years stock but defiantly go into this years trends.

However today I will focus on the Dainty Doll purchases. I have yet to try the eye primer but the other four are as below

I choose a lipstick in 008 shade, it is a nude but not as pale as my other one. In fact it is near a possible to my own shade of lips. There is a little of the gritty feel and by the scent of it, I expect to have to use it with in the year then ditch. That said for £1.99 I won't have lost out. I love the solid metal casing as well it will mean I won't break it as I usually do.

I bought one powder blush for £2.99 in shade 004 which as come up a bit dark to look up but on skin it soon blends in naturally so I am very happy. Love the mirror in the compact, but I will have to invest in a nice brush as nothing comes with it.

The other purchases were two cream blushes in shade 001 and 002.  They both blend in nicely with my skin especially if they are blended together and then I have finally found a way to wear blush with out those lines of the 80s.

The problem I have is a very mixed colour complexion with a very pale base colour and then high pigmentation on the cheeks. So I found these products worked incredibly well with my complexion. I had heard of the brand before but never dared to try them, as I was weary of the hype as it was the label of one of the members of Girls Aloud. That said I an see me adding to my collection of these and probably via Fragrance Direct as they are hard to beat on prices
