So I've done a little bit (!) of shopping today and I thought I'd share with you what I got.
First I went to TK Maxx where I picked up one of the Stila goodie bags that they put together. I paid £7.99 for my bag which contained three items...
Multi-Effect Mascara in black
There isn't any information on the box or on the tube as to what these 'Multi-Effects' are so I had a little look online and apparently it volumises and lengthens so we shall see..!
Lip Polish in Twinkle
This I love. It's such a wearable colour, I can see myself dabbing a bit on for the office or slapping it on for a night out. Can't wait to use this!
Lip Shine in Orchid Shine
I took a chance on this as you can't see the colour from the outside of the packaging so I held my breath before I opened it (as I have had some corkers from Stila colourwise in the past!!) and it's a beautiful dusky/rose pink lip gloss. Really really pretty. I've dabbed this on the back of my hand and it's got a gorgeous shine to it and it's a lovely colour - excited!!!
So on to my next TK Maxx bargain...
Ok, so I am quite a big fan of Ingrid on Youtube (aka Miss Glamorazzi) and she's started doing what she calls GIY (Glam it Yourself) videos. She's done one on how to make a make-up brush holder - here's the link to the video if you want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRPvlXJbzGI&list=UU5zSySQab9SA6Wz569WDgqw&index=1&feature=plcp
So when I came across this clear acrylic holder thing for £1.00 in the clearance sale in TK Maxx, I snapped it up! I've order my Mod Podge and my glitter and I can't wait to get started. If all goes well, I'll post some pictures of the finished article (fingers crossed!).
Next I headed into Superdrug and, as I love the Vitamin E Night Cream, I picked up the Day version...
It has the same cocoa-butter smell as the night cream does and if it's half as amazing as the night cream, I know I'm going to love it.
Superdrug had a Buy 2 for £3.99 offer on the Vitamin E range so I also got this SPF cream. I thought I could use it under my foundation over the summer months as it has an SPF of 15 and will just give my face a bit of protection if this glorious weather continues. If you decide to try this cream, just bear in mind that the SPF will have light reflecting particles in it, so if you're going to be photographed I would avoid unless you want to look like a ghost!
MUA Waterproof Mascara in black
I love the MUA brand. I just think the quality and range of products is amazing for such a budget brand and I have a lot of their pallets and eye shadows as they're just fab. I also have the BB cream which is one of the best I have come across. Anyway, I had heard such good things about this mascara so thought I'd pick it up and give it a go. I have quite a pile of mascaras to review at the moment, but I will get them all done eventually and this will be one of them!!
NYC Natural Matte Foundation in ivory
I'll be honest, I only picked this up because it was on offer at £1.99 and I thought "why not?". I have been looking for a matte foundation so I'll give this one a go and see what it's like - review on it's way!
My first impression (on the back of my hand) is that it goes on well but it has a rather bizarre smell, I can't even describe it but I think it's supposed to smell 'spa-producty' if that makes sense!
So off I trotted to Boots next and this is what I picked up...
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation in ivory
I absolutely love the Lasting Perfection concealer so I've been meaning to try this foundation so when I saw it was on offer, reduced to £3.99, I grabbed it immediately. I'm going to trial this alongside the concealer to see how they work together and see what I think. I have high hopes for this, please don't let me down!!!
Collection 2000 Metallic Cream Eyeshadow in Rock n Rose
I have one of these eyeshadows in Gold Rush and I love it. They go on easily and they do not budge even after hours and hours of wear (and without a primer!!). Collection 2000 has really gone up in my estimations over the last few months and they really seem to be holding their own in the drugstore market - good on them!! This was £2.99 and is a lovely metallic pink.
Poundland next and straight to their make-up section!!
Collection 2000 Skyscraper Length & Definition Mascara
You may recall that I bought the waterproof version of this mascara last time I was in Poundland and I am currently trialling it. I got this as I would like to compare them and see what (if any) the difference is. I'm planning on doing a complete review once I've properly tested them both out.
Collection 2000 Dazzle Me Pigments
I thought I'd add to my collection so I picked up Enchanted (a lovely sparkly brown, Fairy Dust (sparkly purple) and Magical (shimmery white with gold undertones). You all know I love these and I pick them up whenever I spot onces that I haven't already got!
Rimmel Duo Eyeshadow
The green shadow in this duo originally caught my eye. It's shimmery and it's got a bluish undertone to it which gives it almost a two-tone quality. It's really pretty. The other shadow is a champagne colour, always good for highlighting the brow bone or for the inner corner of the eye.
Revlon Perle Eyeshadow in Sparkling Gold
The name says it all, this is a true sparkly gold. It's got quite large chunks of glitter in it so would be fab for adding a bit of glam for a night out. Quite crumbly though so will probably use a primer with this eyeshadow.
Olay Ultra Moisture In-Shower Body Lotion
This intrigued me when I saw it as I've never come across an in-shower body lotion before. Basically, you wash as normal and then apply the lotion as you usually would but you rinse it off while in the shower! I'm not sure what I'm expecting from this but I'm looking forward to testing it out! It contains Shea Butter so should be very moisturising.
Ok, so the last item on my list I got from Ebay. It was delivered this morning and I am so so happy with it. It's a satchel with the face of a fox on it and it is super cute. It actually fits more in it than I thought and can easily get my phone, keys, purse and sunglasses in along with my lip balm etc. It can be worn either as a shoulder bag or as a messenger bag and it has little ears!!! I love love love!!!
Hope you enjoyed my haul post. I'm going to play with all my new products!
Lotsa love
