Makeup haul!

Last week I went on a little shopping spree with my friend Emma. After having a really busy week in college for mock week I really needed to de-stress and makeup shopping is definitely one way to do so!
Poundshop

The first place we went to was the poundshop in search of any bargains we could find and we did drop lucky. I managed to pick up two of the Rimmel Glameyes Single Eyeshadows to go along with the 4 I had previously. The shades I picked up were Azure 330 which is a really pretty baby blue and Night Jewel 300 which is a dark grey and I'll definitely be putting together a Beauty Bargains post on these soon. I also found a Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss in Non Stop Glamour 120, which is a lovely sparkly nude shade which will be perfect for an everyday, fresh faced look or on top of other lipsticks for a more put together look. I also managed to pick up a white Calvin Klein Creme Eyeshadow in bare silk, I bought one in a brown shade a few months ago and have loved using it as a base for my eyeshadows especially with a darker eye makeup looks so I thought this shade would be a great base for a lighter eye makeup look.

 Boots

Next we stopped off in Boots and I picked up a few things that I have been after for quite a few months now but had never got round to buying. I picked up two of the Baby Lips Dr Rescue in Too Cool and Pink Me Up as they were on buy one get one half price. I've already given these a little try and they are so much more hydrating compared to the original range. I also picked up two of the Natural Collection Lipsticks in Raspberry and Pink Mallow as I know these are the two shades that everyone talks about so I wanted to give them a go myself especially because they are only £1.99. When you bought 2 things from natural collection you got a free Natural Collection Tinted Lip Balm so i got the shade Caribbean Crush which is something that I probably wouldn't have bought on my own but I am slightly obsessed with lip balms so I'm excited to give this a go. I've seen so many people rave about the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob 063 and I've really gotten into wearing lip liners lately so I felt like this was a must to try out. The Last thing I got was the L'Oreal True Match Foundation (which I forgot to picture because I started using it and then it ended up in my everyday makeup draw instead of my blogging draw, oops) I just couldn't resist trying this out and so far I have been absolutely loving it. I usually find it really hard to find a foundation that truley matches my natural skin colour because I'm so pale but this one is definitely the closest I've got. I also had a few pounds of this as I had a voucher so it was around £8 instead of £10 which makes it even better.

  Primark
While in Primark I gave the P.S I love.. makeup range a quick look over to see if there were any other products that I wanted to try out. I've previously tried out some of the range but thought their products were really hit and miss but when I spotted this lipliner for £1 I had to give it a go as it's one of the only things I haven't tried out yet so I'm hoping this is a hidden gem in the mix. I got a browny nude shade in 01 and it feels surprisingly really creamy so I'm excited to try this out.

MAC
I couldn't go out on a shopping spree and come home without another MAC lipstick so after swatching a few shades in the shop my friend Emma helped me pick out the shade Speedial. I really wanted to get a natural everyday lip shade and this is a cremesheen so it'll be really glossy and perfect for that natural look.

Boots Pre-Christmas Haul

Over the past few weeks I've been nipping into Boots quite a lot especially with all the special offers and gift sets on offer at this time of the year.
Bourjois
The first thing that I picked up was the Rouge Edition Velvet in Nude-ist 07(£8.99) as this had been on my Nude Lipstick Wishlist, which you can read here, so I couldn't resist. I also picked up the Volume 1 second Mascara in Black (£9.99) because it's been so talked about recently so I really wanted to give it a go. I'd also came to the end of my Maybelline Falsies mascara and really wanted to try something new. 
As I spent £15 and over I got the Bourjois free gift set which included:


Max Factor
Another place that had the box deal was Max Factor so I picked up a few things to make up the £15.
The Excess Shimmer shadow in Copper 20(£7.99) was something that I had been looking at since they were released so I picked up a shade that would be perfect for the Christmas time. To go along with the eyeshadow I picked out the Lipgloss in Luxurious Berry 45(£7.99) as I already had one in a red shade and really liked it so I decided on a more purply shade for the winter months.
The Max Factor free gift set included:


L'oreal
There were two lipsticks from L'Oreal that were also on my nude lipstick wishlist so I decided to pick those up to get the L'oreal Box offer with it. The Julianne Nude Lipstick(£6.99) was something that I had been after since November so I really wanted to pick that up and the Liquid Lipstick in Nude Ballet 601(£8.99) was another one that I had been eyeing up.
The L'Oreal Free gift set included:
Color Riche Le Khol Eyeliner in Immaculate Snow 120



Extra Bits
Some other bits that I had picked up along the way were the Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in As You Want Victoria(£6.49) and as soon as I saw my name in the title I just couldn't resist buying it! I also picked up Bourjois Rose exclusif Lipgloss(£7.69) as it was little different to anything else that I had in my collection as it changes to your own person colour so I really wanted to try it out. I picked up the L'Oreal Julianne Red Lipstick(£6.99) to go along with the nude one as I loved the Blake red so much that I wanted to try out a different shade. Finally I got the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in Rose Tweed 04(£7.99) as it was something else that had been at the top of my wishlist.

Boots Haul!

Do you know when you plan to go to your local shop and just pick up the essential bits of makeup that you need and then end up leaving the shop with a bag full of make up bits? Yep well I totally managed to do so, which means that here is a little unplanned haul:



 Collection
Okay so I can totally justify this purchase as this was one of the products I actually went in to buy. So as you know from my September favoutites I have been absolutely loving this concealer and I was coming to the end of my current tube so I went to get another and I got this in the shade fair 1.

Price: £4.19






Rimmel
Rimmel was the next stand I came to and the first product I picked up was the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder which was actually something else that I needed as I was starting to hit pan on my current one so I decided to stock up. Rimmel had the offer of spend £10 and get the 'Lash Accelerastor Endless' Mascara free. So of course I went for it as I just cant resist free gifts! So I was instantly drawn to the lip products to get up to £10 and I picked up the matte apocalips in the shade 'Meteoric' and the new provocalips product in the shade 'Dare to Pink' and I couldn't decide between the two, so I just got both. I thought the matte purple shade would be a perfect shade for the upcoming Autumn months and you just cant go wrong with a pretty pink shade for everyday use. Then when I thought I was finally done the stay blushed liquid tints caught my eye and one just happened to end up in my basket, i'd seen a lot of people talk about these and really wanted to try it out for myself.

Prices:
Apocalips: £6.49
Stay Blushed: £4.49
Provocalips: £6.99
Stay Matte Powder: £3.99
Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara usually: £7.99

Maybelline
Maybelline was my next stop and another product that id seen so much talk about was the baby skin instant pore eraser primer. so I picked this up as I'm coming to the end of the primer that I'm currently using and I felt like a change. I really hope this lives up to the hype. As maybelline products were on 3 for 2 I decided to pick up a couple baby lips. I got the shades 'strike a rose' and 'pink punch' and because I haven't heard a bad word about these I can see this ending in me buying the whole collection.




Prices:
Baby Skin Primer: £ 7.99
Baby Lips: £2,99

Barry M
I initially stopped by the Barry M stand to pick up a couple of nail varnish's for the autumn months, which I did but I also managed to pick up the limited edition shadow and blush palette as well. The two nail varnishes I picked up were:
Crush-the matte shade in deep red
Watermelon- Gelly shade in dark green
I was drawn towards the Starry eyed palette because of the shades, I don't have a palette similar to it in my current collection and it was limited edition so I just had to get it to try. With all these purchases I also got the mascara 'Showgirl' for free.



Prices:
Nail Varnish: £3.99
Starry Eyed Palette: £6.49
Showgirl Mascara is usually: £4.99

Revlon
The last stand I visited was Revlon and when they have the 3 for 2 offer on I am honestly so tempted. This time I just couldn't resist so I ended up picking up two matte balms and a lip butter.
Matte shades:
210, unapologetic which is a pretty reddy,coral shade
205, elusive which is a raspberry shade.
The Lip butter shade i picked up was 075, lollipop. I already have 3 other shades of these and I'm constantly using them so I'm sure ill love this shade too.


Prices:
Matte Balm: £7.99
Lip Butter: £7.99

I can't wait to try out all these products and i'll let you know how what I think in upcoming weeks.
