Mini Beauty Haul - Superdrug and TK Maxx (with video and pictures)

This is my second haul in as many weeks - naughty!

If you're anything like me though you can't resist a bargain and thats exactly what all these things were !

If you want to sit back and relax with a cuppa, then play the video above, or if you're the more scrolly type, then scroll away - or if you're feeling really kind, you'll do both!

Ive never tried any Sally Hansen nail polishes before and when i saw these i just loved the colours - although i assumed they would be last seasons because why else would they be so cheap?! WRONG you can actually still get them for £6.99 each in Boots - although i payed £7.99 for all 4 so who won there? ;)

NYX Nude On Nude Palette

I  couldn't contain my excitement when i found this in TK Maxx for £12.99. I love me a neutral palette, and the fact this came with lip colours was simple a bonus. I find some of the colours to be similar to the Urban Decay Naked Palette, and the MUA Undressed Palette, so i knew i had to get it!  

As you can see some of the colours I've already used ( i couldn't wait to try it before i photographed it for you!

I personally have rarely used lip colours in a palette, because i can't use that same colour to touch up during the day, but i think i may give this a go - i don't like waste!

My first impressions of this palette is that the pigmentation is very good, and although I've only used a couple of colours i am seriously impressed. I can see this becoming a staple product !

You can find this palette here

I must say im impressed with myself this year, as ive really managed to concise my hand luggage, by basically only taking things i will need. Ive decided to use the bag ill be using on holiday, as it means im not packaging another bag in my suitcase. 

If you need a little help with what to pack, or youre nosey like me, i hope you find this useful

Haul - Pixi and 17

This is just a teeny haul, but its special because its my first ever Pixi haul!

Ive been curious about this brand for a long time, but its not sold anywhere near me, and I'm a try before you buy kinda gal, despite how tempting online shopping can be!

The 2 lip products i picked up at TK Maxx for £3.99 for them both  - bargain!

Having seen how much they actually are, i can't believe my luck!

Lip Blush in Youth £12.50 - here

Vitamin Lip Silk in Hero £10 - here

17 are currently holding an offer where if you spend £6, you receive this free gift, which was basically just an excuse for me to spend money!

17 Perfect Definition Eye Liner in Onyx - here

Theres nothing like a little summer shop to get you in the mood for the months to come, and i can't wait to try and review all these for you. The only problem is, as i look out my window, i wouldn't really say it was summer here...
