Random Collection Haul

S.O... I have been shopping now and again but not bought enough to do single hauls on each shop so here is a mixture of MAC, Boots And Superdrug trips I have made! hope you enjoy <3

Item 1

firstly my mac purchases...
I love matt lipsticks and so it was only right while in bath I went to jollys and purchased a MAC lipstick.

I chose It in the colour Please Me.  This is a lovely pink colour that's' long lasting and I just can't get enough of it! perfect for everyday life and special occasions.

Price £15.50 

Item 2
     
Also from MAC this blusher is just FAB! normally I just use drug store products as well.. they are easy to access but every now and again i love a little splurge and buy high end products.


I got the Heirloom mix Mineralize blusher in Modest Blush. This is a sweet natural looking blusher is perfect ascent to use on an everyday basis if you are not keen on over doing the blusher as it builds up nicely on your cheeks. Its Part of a special collection so it has the cutest sparkly packaging! (more of a reason to buy!) 

Price £23.00

Item 3

On a trip to Superdrug in my lunch time for some conceler i discvered my store had finally stocked Zoella Products! od of course overly excited my bought the body fragrance Blissful Missful and the bath soak soap opera, Both with the adorable packaging! they share a delightful sent. Thought the body mist does not smell for that long (like most body mists) its still a great purchase.

Price £8.00 (body spray)
Price £5.00 (bath Soap)



Item 4


When I was having a look around boots I saw a Christmas offer on L'Oreal Paris Make up when you spend £14.00 or more you get the Couture Gift set. And so I ended upbuying the L'oreal Paris Studio Secrets smoothing resurfacing primer so far I have loved this primer as its great for covering up spots, pores and uneven parts of my face (which I love). The product has a very creamy texture and I thought it was a silly small pot for a primer BUT a little goes a long way with this primer!

Price £14.29

Item 5

The final Item I Bought on this Haul is the L'oreal Paris La Palette Nude in  01 Rose. This is just a wonderful pallet filled with 10 beautiful colours for a nude look. Since buying this i have used it EVERY DAY as there are so many combination's that could be done and a with a nude eye you can never go wrong.

Price £14.99


Item 6



Because I spent so much on L'oriel products I got the Couture Gift set which was just jam packed of wonderful products. It came with the Volume million Lashes mascara, Colour Riche 461 Lipstick, Colour Riche Le Khol white eyeliner pencil and a Red Nail Polish ! These are all good products but out of all of them I would buy the Volume Million Lashes mascara again, in fact it might just replace my old favourite.  




So there we have it a my VERY late random haul of all things i have accumilated during the month of november... sorry its so late!

The Struggle of Pale Skin

S.O..... One problem I have always had is getting a foundation to match my skin colour! And because I am so pale, if I get the wrong shade I look like an oompa loompa (which is not a good look) and to top it off I have a more yellow toned skin meaning its even harder to find foundation to match my skin, as the majority of pale foundations are pink based.

On one of my fantastic trips to MAC, I asked for their expertise on what foundation I should use, where I found that I had the choice of two..... the lightest two they had! Although they were perfect shade wise, I just don't think I could justify spending £21.50 on Studio Fix Fluid Foundation every time !

So I went on a hunt in Superdrug and came across these three products which I think give me the perfect (pale) skin look! 

Item 1


The Collection Lasting Perfection Liquid Concealer in 1-Fair. I had heard great things about this concealer and when I saw that it came in fair I just had to give it a go! It has a nice creamy texture and gives amazing coverage under the eyes and on blemishes. The colour is nice and light which helps to brighten up dark circles under the eyes. Overall I love this product as it is not got a red under tone meaning it doesn't produce an odd colouring !

Price £4.19

Item 2



Item number 2 in the Haul in the L'OrĂ©al Infallible Foundation Porcelain 15. I had been eyeing this foundation up for a while in my many trips to Superdrug and as I was searching for a new foundation how could I not buy it?!? When I was trying the different shades, I had a great conversation with one of the staff about my skin and after testing them out Porcelain seemed to be the one for me. Overall I am loving this foundation especially because of the coverage and creamy texture when you apply it to the skin (its a perfect budget alternative to the MAC foundation).

Price £9.99

Item 3

I love applying a powder over the top of my foundation to set it in place and because I have very oily skin I need something to counteract this. I have sampled a few powders but usually stick with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. However, for a change I thought I would try the Maybelline Matte Maker in Classic Ivory. This has a nice soft texture and leaves the skin lovely and matt, just what I wanted! Also the Maybelline is a fairer colour compared to the Rimmel so I will be sticking with this one for a while.

Price £3.99


These three items have been my staples for the last few weeks and I have found they created an even skin tone whilst matching the rest of me too (no more orange face wahoo!)


S.O love xoxo
