I recently stumbled across the Cult Beauty website during a moment of weakness and an urge for new additions to my makeup collection. Whilst I promised myself a one purchase maximum followed by a quick beeline to the checkout, those sneaky sidebars caught my attention one too many times. My intention to buy one desperately required eyebrow pencil turned into a mini shopping spree and I am excited to share my impulse buys with you all. You can also hear about the guilty purchases I made on the high street in my recent Drugstore Haul.
This Cult Beauty shopping splurge featured two particular brands; the stunning Stila Cosmetics and the queen of all things brows, Anastasia Beverly Hills.
My initial reason for souring the Cult Beauty site was to source out the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. Since a pair of a good brows is increasingly becoming THE most important makeup ritual for any beauty addict in 2015; I felt obliged to finally purchase the product that has every beauty blogger recreating the coveted power brows of Cara Delevingne for themselves.
I hope that I am not alone in my love hate relationship and never ending battle to perfect my eyebrows. Although the situation has definitely improved since I decided to invest in monthly HD sessions, when left to my own devices things quickly go downhill.
This double ended gadget has a spooly on one end for perfectly brushing out those unruly hairs and a retractable pencil on the other. I have the shade dark brown which matches my natural hair colour perfectly and the pencil itself is impeccably thin allowing for you to easily recreate the appearance of fine hairs.
After adding the Brow Wiz to my basket, I couldn’t resist clicking on the equally infamous DipBrow Pomade that was calling out to me in the sidebar.
I also picked this up in the shade dark brown and this gel-like product works amazingly well with an angled brush to create waterproof, long-lasting and natural looking brows. I am confident that this dynamic duo will help my eyebrow nightmares become a thing of the past.

On a recent attempt to recreate a feline flick, I sadly discovered that all of my liquid liners had dried up. Is it just me, or does anyone else find themselves questioning whether their makeup conspires against them to all run out at the same time?
I decided that whilst online to add the Stila Waterproof Liquid Liner in the shade 'intense black' to my basket. I had been desperately waiting to purchase this for a while as liner displaces so easily on my small, oily eyelids and I am eager to see whether this lives up to its ‘stay all day’ claim.
Before I could proceed to the checkout, the side bar caught my attention one last time and, as a self-confessed eyeshadow addict, I was powerless to resist clicking on the mini Stila In The Light icon. It took embarrassingly little convincing on my part to add this palette of ten dreamy nude shades to my basket.
This gorgeous rose gold palette is filled with a selection of six shimmer and four nude shades as well as a handy smudge proof eyeliner in the shade 'chocolate'. The palette also has a large mirror inside and an inspirational quote that will put a smile on your face whilst you deliberate which stunning shades to adorn your eyes with that day.
From an initial swatch of the shadows they look creamy, highly pigmented and my imagination is already running wild with the array of looks I can create. It looks like the perfect palette to transition you from day to night with light, warm-toned nudes as well as a couple darker cooler shades for a more dramatic finish.
After this final addition, I made a swift exit to the checkout before any other gorgeous products could test my limited restraint and deplete my entire bank account. Although, I loved my first experience shopping on Cult Beauty and I will definitely be heading back there soon!
I hope you all enjoyed this mini high-end haul and I would love to hear what you think in the comments below or you can get in touch on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I read and appreciate all of your messages!
