Sisters are bad Influences

S.O... as I mentioned before in my last post my sister came home last week and of course we had to have the obligatory shopping trip before the cinema trip!!

And of course because I have an obsession with make up Superdrug happened to be on that trip.

Item 1


For the past few weeks I have been looking to work on my eyebrows and on this shopping expedition I came across the Make up Academy Pro-Brow ultimate eyebrow kit (Fair). The Kit has 3 shades of powder and a highlighter to apply under the brow to give a finished look. Along with a mini tweezers and a double ended brush to help you perfect your brow. I found this product easy to use and as a relevant new comer to filling in my eyebrows I love that could jump straight into perfecting my eyebrows.

Price £3.50

Item 2

Now I have grown to love the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Collection and after experimenting with the Blake I went and got the Eva Pure Red. Now this one is a more orange in colouring in comparison to the Blake. Like my other matt red from this collection it have a great staying power and I highly recommend these to anyone and everyone!!!

Price £6.99


 Item 3

Not sure why but I just I can't get enough of red lips atm (might be my obsession with Taylor Swift) and so I have a wonderful deep red for you all. A well know favourite amongst many is the Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Wine 107. A perfect matt lipstick with an intense velvet colour which was wonderful/spooky for Halloween But also an autumn/winter essential look. but surprisingly it smells sooo good! (not what you look for in a lipsick). 


Price £5.49




Item 4

 Now everyone needs a good natural eye shadow palette and mine has been recently been running out so I thought I would try a new a different one for a change. Beauty UK  is a brand I have never tried before an the Posh Palette Masquerade No.2 looked look full of great colours.

Price £5.99


Item 5

My last item in the haul is the Real techniques Nic's Picks collection. This group of 5 brushes comes in limited edition silver colour and is part of the Superdrug Christmas range.

Firstly The duo-fibre Face Brush. Perfect for application of face powder if you need a nice light weight coverage (not a powder face) and also works well for blending blusher and bronzer. The duo-fibre gives a lovely soft touch.










Secondly the Exclusive Cheek Brush. This brush if great for applying make up across the cheekbone helping to highlight and shape key features.

Next the Exclusive Angled Shadow Brush. For a while I have needed a brush to help me with my use of eye shadow and this is a great addition to the collection as it is perfectly cut to create layering in the crease off the eye lid simple.

Thirdly The Base Shadow Brush allows you to apply a base of eye shadow flawlessly but also great for blending and I think its a great addition to anyone's make up bag.







Lastly the Exclusive Eye liner Brush this makes the application on a gel liner easy and can also be used to apply eye shadow on the lower lash line to finish of a look.

Online Superdrug Haul

As I can't seem to stop myself buying make-up as soon as I get paid I have another wonderful haul for you!

S.O..... here we go!

I went online and spent quite a while contemplating what I wanted to buy to add to my collection, I hope you enjoy!

Item 1

For a while I have needed a new blusher brush as my old one started to lose its colour when I cleaned it (it was a cheap one). I have absolutely love Real Techniques and naturally I went for their Blush Brush. I have been using this brush for a while now and I love it! This brush creates a really natural, blended finish, which is down to the ultra-plush bristles that all the real technique brushes have.I would highly recommend!

Price £9.99

Item 2

Caring on the brush theme of this haul I also splurged on the Real Technique Core Collection. This set contains four brushes and a really handy travel case/stand.




First, the smallest brush of the set. The Detailer Brush, this brush can be used to conceal problem areas like spots 
(which we all have to deal with annoyingly!) or as I like to use it, for the application of lipstick to get a great shape and smooth, even finish.






The next smallest brush is the Pointed Foundation Brush. The description for this said use for liquid foundation but I personally found it too small for foundation application and have found it is much better suited for blending concealer (for under the eyes and other problem areas).





Thirdly, the Contour Brush is a nice small and great for contouring. Although I do not do much contouring in my daily routine, I do use a highlighter and this brush is the right size and shape for easy application.



Finally, the last part of the core collection is the Buffing Brush. This is perfect for the application of mineral powder foundation or finishing powder. The overall effect is a good even coverage, I love this brush as it does not over powder your face. 




Price £20.99

Item 3

The third item from the online haul is the Rimmel London Brow This Way. Now I don't normally do a lot to my eyebrows as I prefer a more natural look, but recently I have been using eyebrow pencils to create a more even and sculpted brow.  I needed something to help keep them in place and I think this translucent gel is great at keeping my brows how I want them. 

Price £3.99

Item 4

My growing love of eye shadows means I need a way to keep it on for longer, without clumping in the crease of the eye. So I went on a hunt for an inexpensive eye primer and came across the Revolution Focus & Fix Eye Primer. There were three choices of primer; matt (which I chose), bright and original. This eye primer is great value and does the job, keeping my eye shadow in place longer than without.

Price £2.50

I hope you all like make-up hauls because this is definitely not going to be my last! If you would like me to recommend to you some make-up or you have any recommendation for me, please feel free to leave a comment :)
