Boozy Shop Products!

I came across this really cool website that carries some brands that I'm really a big fan of! yyaaayy!
Boozyshop, is a Dutch based web shop that offers a variety of products (brands) that are hard to find, or are not even available in the Netherlands. Brands, such as Lip Smacker, NYX, Sigma and Sugarpill! The prices are relatively affordable and the delivery time is usually 2-3 workdays! Which is awesome!

I ordered a couple of things that I wanted for some time now, but I just couldn't find a store that sold them here. So, I made an order just to see if what is promoted on their website is really true. (delivery time, costs etc.)
I must say that I am a satisfied customer and I most likely will purchase some other products that I really want. Especially NYX products since they are not sold anywhere here as far as I know.

Okay, enough rambling. Here are some of the things that I got! Yayyy! (I like to say "yaay" a lot, sorry about that!) :-)


I FINALLY got the amazing "BRUSH GUARD"! I heard, read, seen so many great reviews on this product I had to get it. I got 2 sets; as you can see on the pictures above. One Variety Pack and one Shadow/Liner Pack. Both include 5 pieces (each) and the variety pack as it states comes in a variety of sizes, from shadow to kabuki sizes. After thoroughly washing and cleaning my brushes, I normally would let them air dry and the bristles would dry all over the place like a person having a bad hair day. But now, with "The Brush Guard", I can simply slip them on to the brushes and put them up side down in a cup or something, and when dry, they remain their original shape. And I really like that!

NYX Jumbo Pencils in: Rust, Black Bean & Milk

 These little puppies are awesome, I normally use a MAC paintpots for my eyeshadow base, but since these are (A LOT) cheaper and honestly easy to use, I decided to get a few... Rust (nr. 619) is like a coppery, rusty color, like the the name of the pencil DUH! And it's absolutely gorgeous, I might just wear it as an eyeshadow color... Just because I can.. haha!
Here's a swatch of the colors.
Please don't mind my pale (hairy) hand :-)
Milk
Black Bean
I also got Black Bean (nr. 601) and Milk (nr. 604). Which are simply just matte black and white. I must say they glide on smoothly and they are highly pigmented.

Rust

What I also got from Boozyshop is the NYX Glitter Gel for Face, Body & Hair in the color Goldie. I'm not really sure why I got this, I just thought the bottle was super cute, and I may perhaps want to put glitter in my hair?? LOL :-)  I may use this though. Queens day is coming up here in The Netherlands, and that is by far my favorite Dutch Holiday EVER! So, I just might go crazy on the glitter just for the Queen's birthday! yayy!!
A weird swatch there :-)

The smell of this Gel is kind of weird. It has a weird paint-ish smell to it which I really don't like. And when blending out the glitters they spread out together, leaving some "open spots" on your skin... yeah, totally weird. 
 The last thing I got off the website was a Lip Smacker lip balm. I used to be addicted to these, but for some reason they don't sell them here. Anyway, doesn't matter because now I know where to get them! I got the Coca-Cola flavored one, because I am addicted to Coca-Cola. (well not anymore, I've cut back a lot! It's not healthy..*sad face*) So, instead of drinking the stuff, I'm just going to use the lip balm instead to ease my craving! I'm a recovering Coca-Cola addict!




OMG! How cute is that? And it tastes soooo good! The consistency is pretty good too, its not too thick and not too thin, if that makes any sense? It's not sticky. The taste is not too overwhelming either, and even though, the balm is a "poopy brown" color, (sorry about that, but that is just how it is!) it applies clear.
I'm in love! :-)

So, over all I'm pretty satisfied with this web shop, and if any of you are interested in some of these products don't forget to take a look on their website. All the prices are in Euro's and they make use of TNT Post delivery. Payments are done via iDeal so you know it's safe!

I will be making more purchases via this website, because I think it's awesome! hahaha!
Stay tuned for a MEGA Haul I'm going to do on some other recently purchased products!
Also, I'm currently reading WWGD?: What Would Google Do? by Jeff Jarvis so stay tuned for a review on the book too!

Until then!
