Boots Haul

I popped into boots this morning to get some eye make up remover and came out with this lot!
I’ve been having real problems with my eye lids getting really sore and puffy lately. I think it might be the liquid eyeliner I am currently using, so that’s going in the bin! My make up remover has started stinging my eyes aswell so I bought something more gentle. I got nivea ‘extra gentle eye make-up remover’ and simple ‘kind to eyes’ eye make up remover pads. I haven’t had chance to use them yet but hopefully they will more gentle on my eyes.




Barry M nail paints were on offer so I got Raspberry 273 (right) and grey 293 (left). Raspberry is the most gorgeous rich, deep berry red colour and will be perfect for autumn/winter.

I’ve heard so much about the new barry M glosses so thought I would try them out for myself. I got number 4, baby pink and number 2, toffee. I’ve heard some good and some bad things about these but I have to say I love them! the baby pink is much more pigmented than toffee, which can be scary but applied in the right way creates the most gorgeous baby pink lip. Less is definitely more with these!

Baby Pink

Toffee

I picked up Revlon matte lipstick in pink pout. Its a gorgeous mid tone pink that I think is really wearable because it’s not too bright.
Finally, I got Maybelline khol express in black, which is a lovely creamy eye pencil. I got the barry m kohl pencil in white, number 30 and the shimmering eye and lip crayon in gold. It’s a really pretty light gold colour, perfect for highlighting.

Swatchy Goodness!!

Accessorize Haul

So i couldn't resist having a sneaky look in accessorize as i was walking past today! And this is what i picked up...

I've been eyeing this bracelet up for ages and i've seen it on people's blogs and you tube video's, so today i just kinda thought sod it!! And i love it!

When i went to pay, the sales assistant asked me if i had seen the matching necklace and she showed it to me, and being as weak as i am i bought that aswell!

And finally i bought this cute little bag charm.

Of course i couldn't go home without having a sneaky little look in boots! I didn't pick up much, just a few things...

I got revlon matte lipstick is nude attitude. Natural collection mositure shine lipstick in apple blossom. Maybelline mineral blusher in topaz rose and nivea tinted moisturiser.

On the left is the collection 2000 lipstick. I'm soo impressed with this... it only cost £1.95. The consistency is much better than i expected, its really quite creamy and the colour is a lovely pinky nude.

On the right is revlon nude attitude. I'd say it was a pretty peachy kind of nude. It's completely different to the like's of gosh - darling. I've swatched them next to each other below so you can tell the difference. I like it... but i think i'll be reaching for my gosh before i reach for this.

At the bottom is the maybelline blusher. It's such a gorgeous pink colour. I already have the moonlight mauve one and i'm really impressed with these blushes. They go on smoothly, they are really pigmented and a little goes a long way. The little pots are gonna last me ages.

And finally, the nivea tinted moisturiser. I have just applied it on my face and i'm really impressed. i didn't expect the coverage to be that great being a tinted moisturiser but i was pleasntly surprised. I got the 'natural' shade, i don't know if there are other options but that was the only one on the shelf. Even though the colour choice is limited it still suited my skin really well.

The picture doesn't show the coloures that well... but on the left is revlon - nude attitude and on the left is gosh darling!
