Update on H&M Beauty Haul

Great news for my Canadian buddies, H&M online store is launching in Canada soon! That means you can shop their beauty section too!!

In February I blogged about my huge H&M Beauty Haul that I purchased all online.

Now, I’m here to report back and show you what’s worth the money, what’s not, and how a lot of the makeup applies (with a video at the end!). Whewf, mouthful.

HM-Beauty-hand-creamH&M Conscious hand creams: white tea and peppermint, and sweet lemon. Verdict: It’s worth the money, if you like the scents you’re getting. It’s a non-greasy formula of handcream. It sinks into the skin quickly because it’s so lightweight.  The white tea & peppermint smells a lot like Christmas to me, and is difficult to get through.

HM-goodiesH&M way to glow bronzing powder (limited edition, no longer online), eye makeup remover pads, brush cleanser spray and detangling comb. Verdict: I bought the detangling comb as a gift for my friend, so I can’t say for sure how that works. The bronzing powder is AMAZING and is a staple in my everyday makeup bag. The eyemake up remover pads are terrible and I already threw them in the garbage. The brush cleanser spray is only “ok”, wouldn’t re-buy.

HM-MascaraH&M high and mighty mascara (limited edition, buy it now if you want it!) Verdit: Haven’t opened it yet (I bought a few H&M mascaras).

Micellar water: LOVE this. A must buy! I bought two more as a backup. Already half way through the first bottle.

Pure definition mascara: Really loving this mascara, the wand is a bit flimsy and weird, but it creates a nice lengthened look to the lashes.

Best curlfriend mascara: Nothing really to write home about. It’s okay, won’t repurchase. Kind of reminds me a lot of the Joe Fresh curling mascara (orange tube).

Nail colour remover pads: A little pricey, but still works. I’ll stick to my Daiso remover pads.

Cream blush: It’s really pigmented, dries from a cream to powder finish. I use it sparingly, but it’s also been in my daily makeup bag ever since — guess it’s a win?

Revelation body lotion: I think I’m all about the packaging on this. It’s gorgeous, it’s unisex and smells amazing. Plus, it looks cool.

Intuition shower cream: As I stated in my haul about this, my neighbour back home wanted this so I gave it to him. I re-bought because it’s SO NICE. YOU MUST BUY. THAT IS ALL.

HM-BB-creamH&M BB cream beauty balm. Verdict: It’s great for only a couple of hours, provides a dewy-like finish to the skin (see it in action in the video below).

HM-Body-scrub-and-creamH&M intuition body scrub and intuition body cream. Verdict: I’ve been using the scrub a lot lately. It’s decent, I’d totally rebuy. However the body cream you have to be careful as to when you apply it, especially if you’re a fan of self-tanner like I am. Do not apply when you have the tanner on, I felt it wiped it all off for some reason! So strange. I love the consistency of it, and wish I could apply it every day, but I can’t! haha.

Any of the items I picked up interest you? Have you tried anything by H&M beauty?

H&M Beauty Haul

HM-Beauty-HaulGuys. I’m a huge sucker for packaging. I placed two sets of H&M Beauty orders since I’ve been back in California. Can’t stop!

I’m going to have to try everything out this week, and see how I like it, and if I recommend it or not. I’m excited to try out all the goodies. While my neighbour from Canada (Zach) was here, I put some of the new H&M body items in his bathroom to try out. He liked it so much, I told him to take it back to Newfoundland with him. He was happy enough with it!

There was only one minor issue with my orders, one cream blush I ordered came sealed in a box, and said it was the colour I ordered. But when I opened it, it ended up being a different colour. Rather than exchange and send back the product and have it be costly to mail back, I kept it.

Onto the haul!HM-Beauty-hand-creamH&M Conscious hand creams: white tea and peppermint, and sweet lemon.

HM-HandwashLast bits from H&M: White tea and peppermint hand wash x2, Intuition shower cream, revelation body lotion, intuition body lotion.

Any of the items I picked up interest you? The only things I’ve tried this weekend was the shower creams so far. They smell amazing, and unisex too, given the fact my male friend liked it too.

By the way, unfortunately these items aren’t available to my Canadian pals, since you can’t shop at all on the H&M Canada website which defeats the entire purpose of having an online ‘store’. Though the first time I heard of H&M beauty launched, was back in Canada. So I know they are in certain H&M stores across Canada, good luck!
