Who doesn't love a good free gift with purchase?! This month Harvey Nichols have created a limited edition beauty gift with purchase when you spend £110 on products from Fragrance, Skincare, Beauty & Cosmetics range! Containing 13 luxury sample sizes from some of the best beauty brands that include Lancome, Eve Lom, Shu Uemura, Trish McEvoy, Clarins, YSL, Elemis & more. The products are housed in a fun designed bag by artist Will Broome. I used this beauty gift as an excuse to stock up on some of my favourite products, Giorgio Armani Foundation (read my post here!), Mascara, Mac Painterly Paint Pot (read here) & a few new goodies from REN & Chantecaille so stay tuned for posts!
The Beauty Bag includes:
Laura Mercier Radiance Foundation Primer - the oil free Laura Mercier primer is one I posted about here, as a real favourite of mine for moisturising while priming so I look forward to using the radiance foundation primer & have high hopes!
bareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lipgloss - a very pigmented and slightly glossy mix of a lip stick & gloss. Swatched on my lips below!
Trish McEvoy Eye Base in Bare - oh how I love this product! Great to use alone for evening out eye lid discolouration, such as veins, or as an eyeshadow primer at allows eyeshadow something to adhere to making it last longer.
Butter London Nail Colour in Blagger - I didn't see myself wearing blue nail polish until a Dior event recently where Liz Hambleton, the beauty director of Grazia, told me she thought blue nails would look amazing on my colouring paired with a tan and a smokey eye. I'm excited about this now!
YSL Shocking Mascara - Tried once and WOW! On first application my lashes were very impressively lengthened with a lot of added volume but lets see how this mascara continues...
Bliss Orange & Black Pepper Body Butter - Recently finished a full size of this & am very grateful to have it back in my life as it is super hydrating, smells amazing (but very strong) and is very thick! mmmm
Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil - Not new to me as I have been repurchasing this for the past year and a half! Absolutely love the way it melts off my makeup with such ease! Andddd now I have a travel size :) Oh and it smells heavenly!
Elemis Pro-Radiance Hand and Nail Cream - Love a good floral scented hand cream that fits perfectly in any handbag. The texture disappears easily in the skin without leaving a residue and leaves a sort of matt finish.
Eve Lom Cleanser & Muslin Cloth - Having not been let down by an Eve Lom product before (my Recovery Mask included - read my post here) I had high expectations for it and let's just say I was very sad to finish the sample packet!
Coty Eau De Chloe
The other products (that I won't be using because of my skin type etc)
Clarins Hydra Quench Serum
Lancome Visionnaire Serum - Aware this has won many beauty awards but not at the age where its appropriate for me to use it I will be giving this to my mum as she uses the full size & loves it!
ESPA 24-hr Replenishing Moisturiser
Overall a fantastic gift with purchase that includes real luxury brands & products so if you're in need of picking up a few products make sure you do at Harvey Nichols soon because these bags are while stocks last!
A couple of things I feel were a bit of a let down... there were no full size products! Last HN bag included a full size Percy & Reed Dry Conditioner which I loved and adored (posted here) even though this bag included more higher end brands it would've been a bit more appealing to have at least one full size product in there.

Secondly, (and this is just me being picky) the past two HN bags were such great quality that I use them on a daily basis or for travelling but the quality of the current is much worse, so much so that I don't feel I would use it again, even though the design was the best of them all! Apart from those couple of things I would definitely suggest popping down to Harvey Nichols (also available online) if its that time to stock up on products!
