As you might now, the 25th of November was black Friday. Usually the Netherlands doesn’t really do anything with it since it’s not a Dutch ‘thing’, but this year most Dutch stores decided to join the craze too. Because of that, and because I just felt like shopping, I ended up buying a few things. Usually I’d wait until everything arrives and than make a haul, but this time I thought it’d be fun if I did a ‘what’s on my way’. So, if you’re curious to find out what I ordered/bought, make sure you continue reading!
First of all I went a little crazy on the Nars department. I don’t have any Nars product so when I saw there was a 20 (or 25%) off 0f Nars I went a little crazy. I bought a total of 5 things but one isn’t really considered a product.
The first Nars product I got is the famous Nars Sheer Glow foundation in the shade Siberia (since I’m pale as a snowflake). Because I do like using a pump when it comes to foundation I also decided to buy the pump that goes with it. It’s actually pretty strange that you have to buy a pump separately, but luckily it wasn’t very expensive.
Another Nars product I bought is the popular Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade Chantilly. I just thought that if I decide to buy some popular Nars products, I had to do it right. So this product really couldn’t miss.
Aside from the skin products I bought two more Nars items. The first one might seem a bit boring, but for me it’s actually pretty exciting. It’s the Nars Eyelash Curler. Until now I’ve always used reasonably affordable eyelash curlers, my current one is by TBS and the ones before that were from Forever21 and the drugstore, so I felt like it was about time to step up my game and go for something more exciting.
The last Nars item I got is this gorgeous Nars blush in the shade Isadora. At some point during the shopping spree I decided I really wanted a Nars blush, but then I couldn’t decide which one to get. After looking up a million swatches and reviews I finally ended up getting the blush in the shade Isadora. I can’t wait to give it a try!
Aside from Nars products I did also shop some more. The Nars products (and a few gifts for friends and family) were the only things that were on sale for black Friday, so what’s next I bought on different days or just weren’t on sale.
So, let’s start of with the things I got at TK Maxx last Tuesday. My friend and I were in the city and we had some time to kill so we decided to go to TK Maxx. Normally we don’t find too exciting things, but this time I felt like there were too many exciting things. So, what I ended up getting is this little gift set by Philosophy with a shower gel and a lipgloss in the Peppermint Stick scent.
I also got a Body Sorbet by TBS in the Mango scent. I’ve been wanting to buy one of their Body Sorbet’s for so long that when I finally found it in stores, I couldn’t resist not buying it. It’s absolutely gorgeous and it smells amazing and I love it!
I also got a really cute owl mug that looks absolutely adorable. I love that one too!
The last three things I bought are a boucle coat, a product from the MAC Mariah Carey collection and a gorgeous Tarte blush set that I’ve been wanting for months now! Let’s start with the coat. Last year I bought a gorgeous handmade coat from Zara. I absolutely loved it (and still do) and I wore it all the time. Sadly it just wasn’t warm enough for the winter. The Netherlands can get quite cold so it just wasn’t enough so I was on the hunt for something new. When I saw this gorgeous boucle coat on the H&M app I was sure I had to buy it and so I did.
Another thing I just really wanted and was on the hunt for was an eyeshadow quad from the MAC Mariah Carey collection. I fell in love with this collection the second I saw it and I knew I had to buy it. I thought it only launched the 17th, but to my surprise it was already on for sale on their site so I ended up buying it right away.
The last item might be the most exciting thing, mainly because I’ve been debating whether or not I should get it for like weeks. I don’t know why I didn’t just get it right away but now I finally made the decision and bought it, and I’m so, so, so excited for it to arrive!
And that concludes this ‘what’s on my way’ post. I hope you liked reading it and be sure to let me know what’s on your way!
XOXO, Nicole.
