BlueScandal.com Haul + Service Review | kikikaylzz | beautybykaylag

I've recently placed two orders with BlueScandal.com for Cosmetics.
I have ordered off their eBay store before, so I knew roughly how long it would take for my packages to arrive.
My first order was placed on the 20th & arrived in Australia 6 days after I placed it, it was put through our sorting facility on the 26th, and I received it on the 28th.

I placed my second order on the 22nd, it took a little longer. By the 27th, it was only just labeled as 'in transition to destination' it arrived on the 29th, but due to the weekend, I didn't receive it until the 2nd of June.
All the shipping from the site is weight based, like most sites that are kind enough to ship to Australia.
I paid the cheapest shipping options for both my orders & they both came with tracking numbers.

I paid just over $120 USD for this order inc shipping costs.
When it was converted to AUD, it was about $130 all up.
_________________________________________________________________________________The tracking hasn't actually updated to say that I've received my package yet.
It took 8 days all up to get from the US to Australia to MY DOOR!
So I call bullshit on how long it takes other packages to get here!

 Box

I was surprised at the packaging. Palettes weren't bubble wrapped.
Just a few foam bits chucked in to protect everything.
But nothing arrived broken.

Errythaaaang!

As you can see, I mostly got NYX products because it's American pricing & you seriously can't pass that up compared to our prices here in Australia.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Guess I better do NYX first to get it out of the way :P
_________________________________________________________________________________

The first thing I got was a set of Mega Shine Lipglosses.
I already own 5 of these & I absolutely adore them!

 In Box

Out of Box

I paid $14 for this set. I think that's pretty good.
They're $12.95 each singly in Australia.

I haven't seen these shades before so I'm excited to try these out.
________________________________________________________________________________

I got a set of 3 Lip Liners & 3 Eye Liners for $3.99

As you can see, the LL are the top 3 (black, light brown, dark brown)
and of course the EL are the bottom 3 (silver, light brown & white)

 Set

Closeup of the Colours

I bought this set for the Eye Liners, it was cheap & singly they are $3.50. So it was definitely a good deal to get this set.
I was specifically excited because I wanted a white eye liner & got a bonus silver one while I was at it. 
I don't use Lip Liners, ever.. so I'm not sure what I'll be doing with these. I might put them into my giveaway or maybe even decide to use them?
_________________________________________________________________________________

I bought 2 Butter Glosses, because well, who doesn't love Butter Glosses?
They're PERF!

Colours/Names

I got Raspberry Tart because you can't get it in Australia & I'm getting into purples more and more now, I don't hate it as much against my skin tone anymore. 
I bought Cherry Pie because I don't own a red gloss, I really only own pink glosses. I'd seen swatches online and that convinced me to get this one.

These were $5 each VERSES $9.95 here in Aussieland #oioioi
_________________________________________________________________________________

I bought the Winter In Moscow Palette
Paid $9.99 which is decent because most places I've seen this palette are asking atleast $19.95

 I honestly strongly dislike this cover. I just think it looks terrible.

 It's a tiny palette. Smaller than the size of my hand & I have tiny hands.

Applicators

I was actually shocked when I opened the box and saw just how small this is. I was annoyed. I didn't expect it to be that small. I've wanted this for a while now because I love blacks, silvers & greys as eyeshadows. They look stunning with any outfit!

I've just checked and the website does infact state the size of this palette, I just never noticed when I placed my order. These dimensions are direct from the website.

Dimensions 
Compact: 3.31"W x 5.13"H x 0.81"D 
Extended: 5.125"W x 7.43"H x 0.42"D 

Although I'm not happy with how small it is because I was dumb enough to not check (good one Kayla!) It's growing on me. I adore the colours and everything and I'm beginning to think it's a good thing that it's smaller because it'll become a go-to palette for me & it's small so I can carry it around with me for touch ups.
_________________________________________________________________________________

I got a Stay Matte But Not Flat liquid foundation, because I don't own any liquid foundations.

 Front

Back

I'm pale as, so of course Ivory was the only choice!
I do hope it's not too dark as I'm 1. Not sure if we have this in Australia and 2. If we do I've never seen it therefore never swatched it against my skin tone.

I'll have a review on this up eventually when I get around to using it.

It's another of the products that I thought would be bigger than it is. 
It's only 35ml. I paid $7.50
_________________________________________________________________________________

I got 2 more Jumbo Eye Pencils
These cost me $4.50 each.

Closeup

I bought Rust & French Fries.
Unbeknownst to myself, I actually bought Rust in my Cherry Culture Order... so now I have two. I might add the other one to my Giveaway. 
I actually have a masssiveee amount of these so I'll be putting a post up about all my different colours soon.
_________________________________________________________________________________

The last NYX item I got was the:

 Front of Box

 Back of Box

 Complete Inside

 Eyeshadow Closeup

Blush/Bronzer/Highlighter Closeup

OKAY! So I have actually wanted this for the absolute LONGEST TIME! But I kept putting it off, it's pricey, not overly pricey but that's 1 weeks pay for me... thanks work! -.- anyhow, I don't regret getting this palette one bit. It is absolutely gorgeous! I've looked at the ones in stores and hadn't even noticed that the back black shade is glittery. If I had seen that, I probably would have bought it,

I paid $25 for this palette!
_________________________________________________________________________________

I got this gorgeous palette that I've been lusting over for a while.
It's the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Palette

 Front

Back

I love the colours in this palette. I don't know if I'd use them all together, but it's worth a try.
This beauty set me back only $4.69
_________________________________________________________________________________

When I saw Rimmel on the list of brands they sell, I immediately clicked on it. Rimmel is one of my favourite brands ever!

I was pretty happy when I saw these babies in stock. I love love love the Moisture Renew lipsticks. I previously owned 7 before I got these two. 
We can get Back to Fuchsia here in Australia, but you can't get Coral Spark.
I actually oredered Coral Shimmer, but was sent this instead.


 Coral Spark

Back to Fuchsia

I'm loving the Fuchsia colour, it's just stunning! I love it with my skin tone as well.
Coral Spark is another story. I don't mind it, but I find it doesn't come up alot and it's VERY sparkly. Which normally wouldn't be a problem for me, as I love sparkly makeup, but this is SPARKLY! It looks like I've just poured gold glitter to my lips. I'd probably use it for a makeup look, I don't think I'd wear it out as much though.

I paid $5.99 each for these lipsticks.
I'm LOVING that price because they're $13.95 in Australia.
_________________________________________________________________________________

I picked up the Stay Matte liquid foundation because I already own the BB cream & the powder, so I thought I may as well finish the set.
My thoughts on the powder will be up soon!


I'm yet to use this, but I'm happy because I thought I ordered the Ivory shade, which could work for my skin tone providing I don't use alot, otherwise I'll be like oompa loompa... and I'll pass on that! haha. I tried this one out at Chemist Warehouse when I was last there and it suits my skin tone so much better!

This was $5.25
_________________________________________________________________________________

The last thing I picked up from my First order was an ELF product.
I bought it because Shaaanxo raves about it! Literally the only reason.
I haven't been able to find it in my local Kmart stores at all! 

Can you guess what it is???


I've wanted to try this since I first saw it in one of Shannons video's.
I'm super glad I could find it!

 It comes in your classic ELF packaging. Shitty cardboard package.

 I like how they have supplied a brush, I haven't seen anyone use it, so I didn't even know it came with a brush honestly.

 I'm liking the sifter, because then I won't waste as much product in one go!

I was surprised when I saw this though, I did think there would be more product in it than there is. I've been told a little goes a long way though, so I think this will be a good product!

This was ONLY $5.25
I know it's only $8 in Kmart and I would have bought it from Kmart previously had I been able to find it!
_________________________________________________________________________________

Well, that's it for my FIRST order.
Lets move onto the SECOND!
_________________________________________________________________________________

All I got was NYX products in this one.
There's 6 in total.
I own Antwerp & Istanbul already, so I thought I'd pick up some others.
I was stoked that they had the New colours that are only available in the US!

I got NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

Front On

Names

I love these things. They're so silky and smooth despite being Matte.
I like how their Matte but not drying & uncomfortable to have on your lips.

I'll start with the ones we can get here in Australia.

Tokyo
I love this, a light bright pink.
I think it would be the perfect compliment to a smokey eye.


Addis Ababa
MMMM okay, how could you even walk past and NOT get this? It's FAB!
Bright hot pink!
I nearly bought this in the Target sale, but got a Butter Gloss instead.


Monte Carlo
I wasn't sure if I really liked this colour, but it ended up growing on me while I kept looking at it.
It seems like a deep red with blue undertone by the colour shown on the website.


The ones we can't get here in Australia are:

Prague
I love this! It's pink with a purple undertone.
Such a gorgeous colour!

Transylvania
This isn't the most wearable colour, but i think it would be great for makeup looks, I'll probably wear it out anyway hehe. 
In the colour shown on the website it appears almost black, but just lighter than black.


Copenhagen
a darker red-purple, this is my favourite out of the 6.
I'm really happy I picked this one up. It was last to be put in my cart.

________________________________________________________________________________

I paid $6 each for these SMLC's, so $36, but BlueScandal has 25% off right now, so it came down to $27. + $12.75 for shipping brings it up to $39.75

If bought in Australia it would have been $77.70
So I saved myself $37.95
_________________________________________________________________________________

With every purchase over $10 you get a free NYX Lip Liner in Sweet Bean.
I received two, maybe because I had a big order? I don't know, but I'm thankful.

And  I received a third one, so obviously there's excess stock.

________________________________________________________________________________

Well, that's everything I got from BlueScandal.com

Go check them out & place an order!

If you would like to see SWATCHES of anything I've bought, let me know! :)
