Had a pretty hectic weekend and have been dying to get this little Sunday afternoon haul posted but just havent had the time, untl now! I would like to apologise for the shocking quality of this photo (you just can't get the bloggers these days!) I did it on my phone and as you can see, my phone is RUBBISH!
All the products I bought were either from Superdrug, Boots or Boyes :)
First the eyeliner (top left). This is the one of the only things I went out with the intention of buying. It's the L'Oreal Super Liner Luminizer for Hazel eyes and cost £6.49. Its a little bit more than the usual £5 limit I set myself but I had read about it in a magazine at work and it sounded amazing! It's a black eyeliner with a hint of ameythst which is supposed to compliment hazel eyes (they do a one for blue eyes and a one for green eyes too). I have tried a bit on and obviously it isnt as dark as a pure black eyeliner, will have to experiment with what shadows/mascaras look best with it and update you!
Next thing I got was the Good Things face mask. Heard nothing but praise for this brand so wanted to try something and needed a new face mask so I figured I would try this. It was only £3.98, which is good seeing as you get a lot less mess and waste from a tube than a sachet. Not tried this yet but it smells absolutley DIVINE! Can't wait!
Also picked up Superdrug's Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. Heard a lot of people raving about this and so decided to gove it a go seeing as it was on a special half price offer for £2.99 :) gotta love a good haf price bargain especially when it smells nice and is meant to make you look beautiful!
No7 Soft and Soothed Cleanser - had a voucher and needed a new one, bit boring really.
Batiste XXL Volume (another Superdrug half price bargain at £1.95) - this is something I have wanted to try for a while. I live off dry shampoo (I work 10 hour shifts so I never feel like washing my hair when I get home and then I always sleep in past my alarm and have a mad panic to get ready). I usually use batiste blush and although it gets rid of grease my hair never feels as full bodied as after a blow dry. I have tried this on Monday morning and I must say my first impressions are mixed. Hallelujah it does give my hair volume! BUT at the price of having sticky, sort of matted feeling in my roots. I cant describe it but it felt wierd and I was really concious of it. It was also a lot harder to work into my hair than other dry shampoos I have tried. Will try it again and see if I can rub it in better or something and do a seperate review.
Maybelline Watershine Gloss - £1.99 Boyes baragin!! I do love a good root around the make up section in Boyes, they do some really nice branded make up at affordable prices. Mind you they also sell some complete rubbish which I would never buy or wear. I was also tempted to buy a w7 concealer pallete (thing they called it a camoflage kit) but I have way too many concealers so not even the £1.99 price tag could persuade me. Back to the gloss! The shade is 640 Natural Sunset and is the perfect nude gloss on my lips. Iam in love.
I also picked up 2 nail art pens in dark blue and intense pink. These were 99peach. I love doing nails so these were a baragin. I wanted the sparkly black one they had too but the brush on that looked like it wasnt attached properly. Boyes you have failed me :( Looking forward to using my blue and pink all the same.
I got some nail varnish in Superdrug too. I have been drooling over the gorgeous sort of coffee/brown shades that seem to be in fashion so I picked up this NYC polish in shade 246 Park Ave. I loved the colour. I havent tried NYC polishes (or make up)before so I hope its not too runny or too gloopy or I will be disappointed.
FINALLY - MUA matt black shadow which is shade 20 and MUA lipstick shade 11. I needed a matt black shadow as I ruined my last one by putting eyedrops in it to make it eyeliner (works great by the way) so I just needed one I could actually use as a shadow! I picked up the lipstick as I want a nude everyday lipstick. This is the perfect shade for me as I have quite dark lips so going for the whole concealer lips thing doesnt look good on me at all. I have been wearing the lipstick and I think it is amazing for £1. Most MUA things are £1 which is what i like to hear!!
Hope you have enjoyed reading this even though it was ridiculously long AGAIN!!
