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 :)
S.O love xoxo
S.O.... this is what happens when I go to Superdrug on a lunch break!
It all started when I realised it was payday! This lead to me venturing out in my 45min lunch break to buy even more make up (which I definitely did not need...)!
Item 1
(well Item 1,2+3)
Firstly I bought three of the exclusive collection by L'Oreal Paris called Colour Riche Lip. I had been eyeing these up for a while and they were on three for two, so I simply coulf not resist. I chose two nude lips and one red as nudes are more practical!!
Price:£6.99
This is my favourite of the two nude purchases it is called Eva Longoria Barley Golden. It's a nice, natural, peachy colour, which could be worn everyday as it will only enhance any make up look. It lasts a very long time and has a lovely creamy texture.
The second nude from the collection was the Doutzen Kroes Barley Pink. Although I was really looking forward to using this one, I found that because naturally I have quite dark lips, it did not have the desired effect. I would however, still rate this highly but would caution you before buying it as it is a very light lipstick! Again it has a nice, creamy feel to it and a good luster.
Out of the three Blake's Pure Red is the one that I am most impressed with! I was expecting a really bright red that I would have to keep re-applying in order to keep the colour perfect, but when I wore it on a night out, I only had to touch it up two times and even then it was just me being overly cautious. This is a great matt pinky red lipstick, that I would highly recommend!
Another aspect of these lipsticks which I really love is the packaging. The nude colours have a smooth black case with gold detailing and the packaging of the reds are matt black with an almost leopard print look to them.
Item 2
Next due to my ever growing obsession with blushers and bronzers I impulse bought the MUA undress your skin shimmer highlighter. This is a great purchase; it has a georgous effect when used on your cheekbones, creating a healthy, dewy glow and it was a complete bargain!
Price: £3.00
Item 3
Now this is an essential of mine. Ever since I began using makeup this has been my favourite mascara (after I got past the bad mascaras from teen magazines)!!
The Rimmel London Scandaleyes mascara. This product gives you long, dark and thick lashes, absolutely everything you want from a mascara and so has been in my makeup bag for years and most likely will be there in years to come too.
Price:£6.99
And there you have it, my lunch time haul. I hope you liked my reviews, comment below with any recommendations of your own, as I will no doubt be sneaking off to buy more makeup soon :)
S.O love xox
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.
