New in and only cost £20 aka Beauty Mart Haul

 A bit indecisive over what to call this as buying three products doesn't seem worthy of being called a 'haul'. 

I just wanted to quickly show you what I picked up last week when I visited the Beauty Mart store in Harvey Nichols last week. I did want to add this to a huge Aug/September Haul video I was planning to do but in true procrastinating form, I haven't got round to doing it yet.

I picked up a Revitalising eye strip mask from DHC; a Korean brand, which looked so interesting and  cute, that even if I have no clue what it actually does and if it might cause me eyes to puff up, I HAD to try it out. The miniature B0ioderma Crealin H20 Micelle Solution seems to be a blogger favourite and I know that there is a lot of hype surrounding it but I wasn't sure if it actually worked very well as I have read a few negative reviews but I'm nosey and like to try things out for myself so I grabbed the tiniest amount they had.

I already mentioned last Friday that I got the Revlon Kissable balm Stain in 040 (the orange one) and I was very happy that it was £2 cheaper at the Beauty Mart than at Superdrug, and so far I really love how convenient this is. . . .Don't love the peppermint smell/flavour but I'm not all that fussed

I would love to note down EXACTLY how much everything cost me but the Sales Assistants at the Beauty Mart for some strange reason took off all the price tags on the products and I can't find my receipt but everything cost £20.45 (according to my bank balance) so I'm not really fussed

Beauty Mart - Great Concept . . . I think

I really can't understand why some brands or companies would insist on inviting bloggers to an event just to ignore them completely when they get there! Really?! I know there is probably a blogger quota to be filled and I should be 'grateful' that I even got invited to come down to the newly launched Beauty Mart at Harvey Nichols. However honestly when I make an hour and a half journey in 25 degrees heat, just to walk around a concession, not having a clue about its concept and not get talked to by anyone except a sales assistant who I had to go up to as I wanted to purchase something I found.

So while I would love to tell you a lot of things behind the Beauty Mart Concept and why it is such a great idea and maybe even what inspired the new concession. . . I can't  . . . so you might want to look to google because I can't write about something I know nothing about, only what I saw.

 Situated on the third floor of Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge  (bust a quick left at the escalators). The Beauty Mart is a lot like your standard beauty counter except it mixes and arranges different brands together in terms of use, so blushes are together, skincare, eyelashes etc etc etc.

Brands of different ethnicities (Korean, French, Australian) can all be found at the Beauty Mart as it stocks a lot of products that aren't available in the Uk (so all you Bioderma lovers, get down to Harvey Nichols).

What I did love about the Beauty Mart is how customers are encouraged to try and play with the different products so it's a lot more comfortable and inviting that going swatch heavy at your local drugstore or counter, plus I really do think that you can get products cheaper there than on the high street as I picked up the Revlon chubby pencil for £6 and Superdrug are selling the same pencil for £7.99 so yaaaaay.

They do still have a few chinks to work out with their till system so if you go down you might have to wait a little longer to pay than normal but I do think that it is really worth checking out, if only for a sneaky discount.
