I spent £219 on a mystery makeup box and bagged a haul worth £1,000 – including a cult £80 exfoliator
A BEAUTY influencer shared her mystery makeup haul with her followers.
She unboxed the dozens of high-end products she nabbed for just £219.
In her viral video, YouTuber Rosie Tilley (@RosieTilley) showed off each of her beauty buys, which she said amounted to just under £1,000 altogether.
“I had no idea of all the stuff I was actually going to get,” she told her subscribers.
Her haul featured a wide variety of items, including some with high-end price tags.
Rosie showed her audience the Advanced Snail Mucin 92 All-in-one Cream, which normally retails for £27.
“This is a really good brand so I’m excited to try this,” she told her viewers.
She also picked up the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, which is currently available for £30.80 from Sephora.
Rosie explained that she was pleasantly surprised to find the powder in her haul, revealing that it is one of her daily go-to products.
She also unboxed The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, which retails for £25.10.
Rosie discovered a 200 millilitre bottle of Alpha H’s Liquid Rose Gold-Infused Exfoliant, which she said usually costs around £80.
Victoria Beckham’s Longwear Crease Eyeshadow Stick, £32, was also featured in the haul.
“This was another product I was very happy to find because Victoria Beckham products are so expensive but honestly everything I have bought from them has been really nice,” she explained.
Next, Rosie unboxed a bundle of hair growth oils and serums, which she said she was excited to try out.
The haul also included essential oils, sunglasses, makeup bags, and false eyelashes.
She also discovered some unexpected items including a men’s razor from the Harry’s brand.
Rosie revealed that she would be selling any unwanted items on her Vinted account.
How To Save Money On Beauty Buys
IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?
Here’s five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.
FACE BASE: If you can’t afford Charlotte Tilbury‘s £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?
TONE IT UP: If Drunk Elephant’s £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you’ll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.
TINTING IT: With Fenty’s ‘game-changer’ skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket’s affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.
GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.
SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi’s new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
Rosie’s subscribers shared their thoughts on the items in the comments section.
“Woohoo love the auction site videos, very addictive and pricey but such an epic mystery haul,” wrote one viewer.
“You got a lot of great things there and some weird things too that made me laugh,” said another person.
“Good box of goodies, enjoyed seeing what’s inside,” commented a third YouTube user.
“I’ve ordered home items off John Pye and you really have to be prepared to not get entirely what you want,” wrote another subscriber.
