Yes it has to be said that I went a bit nuts while I was away. It took 4 suitcases to lug all this stuff home as the weight had to be evened out otherwise it would have been far too heavy. It was difficult to get a photo of everything so I’ve done three separate ones -
This is my make-up and skincare bits from Ulta, Sephora and Bath and Body Works. I also got a lovely beauty package filled with goodies from my Canadian Beauty Blogging buddy Cinnamon Kitten. I can’t wait to try the Lise Watier and Annabella cosmetics.
Yes most of this is from Bath & Body Works but I also got some Tree Hut and Haus of Gloi body scrubs along with a slew of nail polishes and lotions from Aruba.
Of course I had to get more shower gels, anti-bacs and these wonderful candles that turn any fusty house into a cosy home. Now I’d like to state that I have bought some things for gifts too. It’s going to take me awhile to review all this stuff so it will be spread out over the next few weeks.
And here I am with the fabulous Momma Skin Scrubs who helped me pack it all – she rocks!
So ladies what do think?

Oh my, send some my way
This is seriously awesome! Can’t wait for those reviews. You’ve got a serious haul there, and I can imagine how fun it’s going to be to crack open those new bottles.
Thanks Taylor I have to find a place to put it all first – oh darn! xoxo
I spy the Mint Julep Masque! You will love the CRAP out of that, I swear!
Well I bought it because of you so you better be right Miss Hog! xoxo
oh my god!!! am drooling!!! and jealous
. such an amazing haul and hey ur mom looks so gorgeous!
Aww thanks hun – my mum is a superstar!
WOW!! That is a haul and a half! It looks like you’re setting up shop. I can’t wait for the reviews. I think you’re going to enjoy the Lise Watier and Annabella goodies too, I’ve really enjoyed all of the things I’ve tried so far.
I love that picture of you and you Mum xx
Thank you Jane – My dad did ask if I was going to sell it and I just chuckled! xoxo
I think if were to head to the states i’d end up with twice as much as this and spend hardly any time away from the shops. That or i’d be over whelmed and only end up buying OPI.
Well every time I go in B&BW for the first time I have to walk around and assess the situation and then walk out for a breather. It’s easy for your brain to shut off from all the pleasure!
Hi, Congratulations on your weddings
Glad you are back safe
I must say I am so jealous! Those pictures are my idea of ultimate Heaven!
x
Thanks Sam – it is good to be back home after doing 6 flights. Now I can enjoy time with my new hubby and look for space for all this stuff! xoxo
That is a very impressive haul! Welcome back! x
Thank you hunny bun! xoxo
OMG this is insane!
I take that as a compliment my dear! ;D
Holy crapola!!! That’s amazing…I am totally gobsmaked at the sheer awesomeness of that mega haul, especially what ever it is that is in that pump bottle with the pumpkin head on it!
Bath and Body Works is probably the number one store I would love to see in the UK! xxx
They were foolish to leave – I think now that they have more of a blog following in the US others are able to see what they have. Fingers crossed they will make there way over at some point. xoxo
Holy moly!!! That’s a LOT!
Enjoy! (I know you will!)
Well a few things are there because of you so it’s your fault really! he he
OMG OMG OMG what a haul. Wow! My jaw hit the floor seeing all that, how lovely and how much fun are you going to have using them all up
James jaw hit the floor too when were packing it all up. It’s still all over the house I can’t contain it! xoxo
Wow, a girl who REALLY knows how to shop, fantastic
Jude xx @jadlgw

Oh & welcome back newly wed
Love Aysh xoxo
He he thank you gorgeous – I’m married with lots of stuff what a great thing to be!
I honestly thought these were photographs of stock on the shelves until I looked closer. I LOVE this haul. You are my hero! If you need anybody to come and stay and help you use them up, I’m willing! What a lovely picture of you and momma skin scrubs too xx
I’m happy to be your hero – that’s a big compliment. If I do get stuck I’ll let you know. I’m sure I’ll be finding stuff for weeks on end. I still have to put it all away and photograph it.
OMG! I’m hoping my haul from the US is as wonderful as this! Looking forward to the reviews though so I can have a guess at what I should be buying. The pumpkin handwash pump in the first picture is so cute. Hope you had a really fantastic time and enjoyed every moment! x
Oh I did darling – it was great seeing everyone and going shopping of course. If there any questions you have just email me! xoxo
OMG !!! This is serious shopping !!!!! I hope you will have enough space in your flat
Have you received my parcel ?
You look beautiful on the pic with your mum
Well if I don’t find more space James will have to move out. He’s already warned me that my Paris shopping trip better not be as epic as this one. xoxo
OMG, how brave you are to have made such a great shopping!!!! Do you need some more?

Oh em ghee! Now THIS is a haul post! I’m totally impressed by this, as in, having to pick my jaw off the floor! I have never seen your picture before, and I have to say that you are SO pretty! Which I already knew of course, but still
Well it was a big decision to put my picture up but it’s a lovely pic of my mum and me I couldn’t resist. Thanks for the compliment my dear!
that’s a lot of stuff! Being a beauty junkie myself, I have to say I’m really jealous!
Anyway congrats to you and your husband. I have to say you and your mum look beautiful.
Thank you Hani I really appreciate your congrats and compliments. Beauty junkie moi? he he
Heaven. US Style.
Yes yes it is! Glad you were following me a Twitter good to find your blog! xoxo
Wowzers how amazing. I love a lot of the stuff that we can’t get here so I don’t blame you at all xx
Well you know it would have been rude not to use my 20% off voucher that I had for B&BW and it keeps the economy going too! xoxo
Congrats on getting married
How did you manage to bring so much back with you?
How do you find space to store it ?
x
Thank you dear, my mom always helps me pack my suitcase and my dad weighs everything for me. They are awesome. As for finding space to store it all that is still a work in progress!
Wow!!!! Congratulations for that big effort! I love your pictures!
Thanks – I bet you can get hauls like this all the time now I’m so jealous!!!!
Wowza! That’s a massive haul….you know how to shop!
Congrats again on getting married! Both you and your Mum look gorgeous! Lovely smiles xx
Thanks Sarah – My mum is lovely and I miss her already! xoxo
Congratulations on your recent wedding, and WOW that is some haul! Looking forward to reading your reviews x
OMG – Amazing haul! I also thought it was a shop display until I read your post! I’d be tempted to hide it randomly all over the place so you were always finding things and thinking “hmm I’d forgotten about that”. Or, I’d invest in some new super-storage solutions!
Nice to see you and your Mum making an appearance on your blog as well!
xx
