iHerb Beauty Haul!

Hi! How are you guys doing today? I hope you are well :)

I decided to make a purchase off iHerb last week because I received a voucher to use and I thought why not take advantage of it since I wanted a few items already. 

I have purchased from them in the past, although it was over a year ago. I have had no issues with iHerb whatsoever. They are a fantastic company! With great prices which are fairly reasonable considering I live in Australia and everything is so expensive. 

Recently they started showing products in AU pricing. Which is great! Also the shipping is really affordable. It's only around $4 for standard international shipping and $8 for express. 

You can purchase make-up, brushes, skincare, hair care, vitamins etc. They sell a variety of products, for a good price. 

Now onto the haul! I purchased quite a few brushes since they retail for over double the amount here in Australia.
























1. Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, Sam's Picks Exclusive Brush Set - AU $32.14

This contains 6 brushes. (In order from the picture above) The Multi-Task Brush, Setting Brush, Buffing Brush, Pointed Foundation Brush, Essential Crease Brush (Set Exclusive), and Fine Liner Brush. 

2. Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, Your Base/Flawless, Expert Face Brush - AU $9.70
This is used for applying and blending in cream or liquid foundation. It's a soft dense brush which is raved about a lot.

3. Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, Your Base/Flawless, Powder Brush - AU $10.77
This brush is used for applying your powder evenly and for that natural finish. It's so soft! I can't wait to use it.

4. Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman, Your Finish/Perfected, Blush Brush - AU $9.70
This brush is used for contouring and applying blush on your cheeks and blending it out. It's a fairly large brush for the face.




5. E.L.F. Cosmetics, Mineral Eye Shadow Primer, Sheer 4.5 g - AU $3.23
I just put this on my eyelids and it goes on so easily! I absolutely love it. I think I found my holy grail eye shadow primer. It's so affordable too! You can also find this at Kmart I believe. Although it's more expensive.

6. Hurraw! Balm, Night Treatment Balm, Blue Chamomile Vanilla 4.3 g - AU $4.12
7. Hurraw! Balm, Lip Balm, Grapefruit 4.3 g - AU $3.63
Both of these lip balms are an organic and made from raw ingredients. It's also vegan! It applies on great and feels moisturising. Plus they smell nice and the packaging is cute as!




8. Queen Helene, The Original Mint Julep Masque 226.8 g - AU $4.14
I forgot to take a photo of this! Sorry for the web picture. But this is one of their best sellers. The reviews of this face mask are all great! I just tested this and my face feels amazing! It hardened almost instantly and turned into a clay like substance. It didn't feel uncomfortable at all which is fantastic. I have sensitive skin and this mask didn't irritate my face.



iHerb also included a pen in my order as you can see above. It's pretty cute to keep in your bag. 

Overall I think iHerb is a great company with good quality products. The shipping is phenomenal, I placed my order Friday night and received it on Monday afternoon. Although I paid for express because it included insurance and a tracking number.

    1. They are a little pricey. But the quality is worth it! I can't justify spending money on MAC brushes or Sigma brushes yet lol. xx
