I recently returned from a soul-renewing two-week sejour to Europe. There, I was privileged enough to stay in two cities very near and dear to my heart:

The gorgeous old-world heart of England, fair (and so often fair-weathered) London…

… and Paris, the city of love and light where I once lived as an undergraduate exchange student and still hopelessly pine for to this day.

While I was over there, I went slightly out of control (although to this day, dom insists I should have hauled harder) and bought a rather random gallimaufry (this is my new favourite word!) of different items spanning the realms of skin care, makeup and body care.
Here is a closer look at the contents of my haul. Just right-click on each individual photograph and select “open in new tab/window” for high-resolution viewing. Warning, photo-heavy post after the jump!

What would you like me to review first?






I love John Freida’s hair product! Their shampoo and other stuff smell amazing!!!
Hi Charlotte!
Yeah, Freida’s products are great. These products I got were only GBP 10 for three! Hur hur.
Ooh Envy, I love those two cities too. Wish I’d had a chance to live in Paris ah well… =)
Hey Kahani! You’re still young, many years ahead of you – Paris will be there and waiting
What a lovely holiday! I see you discovered Sleek!
Hi Jamilla!
Did indeed, and what a lovely discovery. So affordable, and their shadows (save for the matte ones) are so pigmented.
Awesome goodies, but I’m with Dom: you should have gone harder!
Aw Olgie! I’ll haul harder the next time I go
