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? ;)

NOTD - Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

This is a tribute to the (hopefully) warmer weather we will be experiencing soon. Im sure like me many of you have begun to swap the darker winter colours for lighter shades in the hope to hurry up spring!

I got this as a set of four from TK Maxx (you can see my Youtube haul here) and couldn't wait to try this out as it reminded me of a mermaids scales, its got that iridescent sheen to it.

This lasted 4 days before it chipped - however the chippage was small and because this is a really sheer colour you couldn't actually tell - perfect for someone who doesn't have time to be constantly touching up their nails!

My only gripe with this is sometimes these pearly iridescent shades can look a bit 'grannyish' however i think thats completely down to personal preference - i mean Barry M have just launched an entire range of this type of finish (the silk range) so maybe this is a trend to come?

August Favourites

Seen as my last months favourites were late, this seems to have come around so quick! A lot of these favourites were things i took on holiday and loved, so without further ado...

Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation

I got this from Poundland believe it or not! After a week abroad my skin is definitely a few shades darker, but i didn't want to spend much money on a foundation ill only be using for the next couple of months. This is really smooth, and although its dark, its not too dark and like it says on the bottle, it really does blend into your skin colour.

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious (3.99) Boots - here

This was the only blusher i took on holiday so i used this everyday. Its SO pigmented and it will last me ages as you only need the tiniest amount on your brush. I haven't really used the bottom right shade, but i love all the others - i generally use a little of each on my cheeks everyday for a summery look

No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara in Black (12.50) Boots - here

I took 2 mascaras on holiday, and didn't even use the other one because this is so amazing. It makes my lashes really long and full, its easy to take off, and the brush feels like i gets right in-between each lash.

MAC Plusglass in Ample Pink (17) - here

Ive been wearing this during the day this month, as it seems to just go perfectly with whatever makeup i am wearing, not to mention it smells absolutely gorgeous. Its a subtle nude with a tiny hint of pink, and i always get compliments on this!

17 Ultimate Volume Lipgloss in Butterfly Cake (3.99) Boots - here

I wore this most evenings on holiday, and found its really stunning when the light catches it. Its a pretty pink with a subtle gold shimmer which is what makes it catch the light. It lasted even after a meal, and its in no way sticky - intact it was so smooth i couldn't stop rubbing my lips together!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain (5.99) Boots - here

I LOVE everything about this, the minty smell, the way it feels on my lips, and of course the colour. Its the perfect summer colour, but i will still be using this throughout the autumn as its just too good not to!

Bourjois 1 Second Gel Nail Polish Shade 14 - £5.99

(The false nails are Kiss)

I definitely saved the best til last! It was my birthday on the 1st September, and i luckily found this just in time - this is most definitely my favourite nail polish EVER. I felt like a true disney princess when i put this on

NOTD - Avon Sequinned Turquoise

Avon Nailwear Pro

Sequinned Turquoise

I have had this polish about a year, but its never really stood out to me enough to actually wear it. After applying it - i really don't know why!

I tried to capture just how striking the colour us, and although its a little more greeny blue in real life, i managed to capture the glitter and shimmer of this product.

This lasted around 4 days before chipping (and thats with no top coat), which is pretty good going in my eyes!

I am going on holiday later this year, and ill probably be taking this with me, as it really is stunning when it catches the light - perfect for holding my pina colada by the pool!

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!

Instant Glow Body Bronzer - here

Lasting Fix Nail Polish in Tropical Island - here

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...

NOTD: no7 Totally Teal

I got this a few weeks ago with my Boots £5 no7 voucher, and if I'm honest i didn't get it because i loved the colour, i simply picked it because i don't really have a colour like it.

Honestly, i like the idea of treating myself to a polish which is usually £7, and theres no denying they look pretty on my dresser!

This photo was taken the day after i painted my nails, and as you can see they are very slightly chipped on the edge, but I'm sure they'd last a little longer with a top coat!

Overall, i like this polish, but its not really a versatile colour which goes with anything. Nonetheless, i will still use this again, probably during autumn months!
