Boots and Superdrug spring Haul

I caved in ! I had points and vouchers and i just couldn't help myself ! :( Please don't make me feel bad, we all have little slips when we are supposed to be saving don't we?
Anyway, here's what i got..

 Fearne Cotton's makeup range is STILL 75% off in Boots, although admittedly there isn't much left! The palette which was supposed to be £12 cost me £3, and the nail polish was £1.37, rather than £5.50. I already have another of these polishes and they are GREAT!

 These are currently 2 for £3 in Superdrug, and although i pretty much have every shade of nail varnish possible, i couldn't resist. These are perfect travel size, and for touching up on the go, not to mention how kind they are to your purse !

 I LOVE these. I already have Cotton Candy 1, and i just had to have these. At £2.99 each they're lovely and cheap, and this finish they give is gorgeous. I love these so much I'm going to do a full review, so watch out for that!

 What would a trip to Superdrug be without picking up a few MUA essentials? I love their black liquid eyeliner, so i picked up the dark brown one (shade 6), and whilst at the stand realised i don't have a clear lipgloss, causing shade 1 to fall into my basket, oops!

  These are the best lipgloss colours ever, however they're quite sheer when applied, but for a £1 each i am more than happy. The only bug bare about these is the smell. Everyone else will love them, but they remind me of an air freshener my mum used to use when we used to go away EVERY weekend in the caravan, despite the fact i just wanted to go the cinema or shopping with my friends like every other 13 year old. Anyway back to the topic at hand.. the shades i got are Shade 1, Shade 4 and Shade 5

 Ive never tried Posie Tint by Benefit, but I've heard this being compared to it. My skin has been a little dry these winter months, so i figured this could be better for my skin than a powdered blusher, only thing is, I'm not quite sure how to use it...

This is all Laura Jayn's fault. She recently did a post about nude lipsticks (here) and 17 are currently 3 for 2 in Boots, so i couldn't resist. Beehive cost £4.59, and Dreamy cost £4.29, which isn't too bad as lipsticks last forever don't they! I am in love with both these colours, and although they look pretty much the same in the photo, they aren't (expect a review and swatches soon). Infact these are going straight in my handbag for the rest of spring!

 With the 3 for 2 offer, this blush was actually free, but it usually costs £3.49, very purse friendly! I couldn't really capture the brightness of this blush, its a really shocking coral colour, so this might be a bit of disaster for me at first (i must think about building up small layers!) Its also perfect travel size, and the packaging feels really expensive!

Surprise surprise i had yet another no7 voucher from spending all this money, so i thought id just bite the bullet and spend it right away! I have too many red polishes as it is, but i quite like the fact my no7 nail polish collection is slowly growing thanks to all these vouchers, so i couldn't resist! This is usually £7, but with my voucher it cost £2 (you all know the score)




So that was my little spring haul, which will probably be my last for a few weeks (hopefully)! Expect reviews, and swatches of all these products, as i can't wait to test them out.

super natural FOTD

I didn't actually have anything to do today, as I'm off uni with a terrible cold, but if felt so poorly for a few days i wanted a little pick me up, and so decided to put a bit of makeup on, however its really natural as there was no point in doing a great deal as i only needed to pop to the shop. But enough of that.
Here's what i used:

(L-R)Superdrug essentials face cream, MUA primer, Garnier BB cream in light, 17 Hide & Chic in light rose, natural collection loose powder in neutral translucent, and MAC MSF in refined

(L-R) MUA mascara in shade 1 ( i use this to set my eyebrows, it was actually clear when i first purchased this how gross!), Elf eyebrow kit in dark, Sally Hansen lip conditioner and plumper (i use this everyday before applying any makeup as it really softens my lips)

(L-R) miners fleuro gloss in amplified, 2true concealer shade 2, MUA mosaic blush in english rose (my go to product EVERYDAY) and Loreal volume million lashes for blue eyes


And this is the result :

So that was my face today, i agree i don't look my best, but i am ill ! :(
Have you used any of these products?

superdrug haul

I admit i made a spend! I'm not consciously trying to save money, but I'm also trying to spend a little less. But when i saw these offers, i just couldn't resist! All of these products are products i have wanted to try, as so many bloggers and you tubers have recommended them, i couldn't wait any longer, and i figured wages are supposed to be spent aren't they?

My first ever 2true products, i can't believe I've gone this long without trying this brand. The products are £1.99 each or 3 for £4.99, and thanks to MissBudgetBeauty recommending these products time and time again i figured i had little to lose if i didn't like them. The product on the left is a brown mascara, in shade 2. I tend to wear brown mascara during the day, for a more natural and understated look, and i am shocked at the quality of this product, as it made my lashes long and full of volume, for just £1.99! (this is almost certainly to be repurchased). The liquid liner is in black, because as you know i love my liquid liner, and am intact rarely seen without, so fingers crossed this is a good one! The concealer is in shade 2, and did provide good coverage, however you have to blend it in straight away otherwise it will sit on your skin. (I'm going to do a whole separate review on this product as  i have only used it once). 

The nose strips were again recommended, and i can't wait to try these as I've heard they are so good. There was an offer, which was 2 products for £3.99 (i think) so i couldn't resist getting something else, and i thought a moisturiser is probably going to be most useful to me during the winter. Having thought more about this though i am tempted to purchase the cleanser, toner and face wash, so that i can have a complete tea tree routine, surely it'll then be easier to see the benefits? 

I think I've saved the best til last - this was my most exciting buy of the day! Yet again this is all down to MissBudgetBeauty, as hearing her rave that many times about this product its been on my wish list for quite some time. The only thing that was putting me off was the price - £9.99 is a lot to spend on something i might not like isn't it ? The straw that broke the donkeys back was hearing MissBudgetBeauty say in a blog interview this would be the product she would have if she could only have one - how can i ignore that?? 
So here it is, expect a full review soon!




Have you tried any of these products? If so please tell me what you thought of them !
