Massive Beauty Haul

I have probably done a little bit too much shopping lately but I needed these items.....Who am I kidding?  I just wanted them! I read alot of blogs and often make decisions to try new products purely based on other peoples reviews about them.


These items have been purchased over the last month or so and so far I have been happy with all of them, but I will do individual reviews on these products over the next few weeks when I've given them a proper trial.

Liz Earle Daily Eye Repair - This states that it visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead. It contains light reflecting particles to conceal and brighten dark under eye shadows. 

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask - Containing Plant Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid and Apricot Kernel Oil this is an amazing treatment that leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soft.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - this soothes skin irritations and helps with chapping, peeling and flaking through burns, sunburns, scrapes, abrasions and cracked lips.

L'Oreal 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution - This dissolves make up, unclogs pores and removes any impurities and tones the skin.

Origins Intensive Moisture Treatment for Scalp and Hair - This strengthens and conditions the hair as well as soothing any scalp irritation.

Lush Mint Julips - A mint chocolate lip scrub, that buffs away any dead skin, leaving lips feeling soft.

Cosmopolitan Tweezers Set - Containing a flat, pointed and angled tip tweezers.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and Stippling Brush - Uses include applying foundation, powder, bronzer and blusher.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir - This applies essential oils to the skin which refreshes and brightens.

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - I reviewed this recently here









MAC Cremesheen in shade Lavender Whip - A beautiful colour and a formulation that leaves the lips feeling hydrated.

MAC Eye Shadow in Satin Taupe - A lovely bronze/brown colour, has fast become my favourite eye shadow due to the pigmentation and lasting effects.

Bourjois Bronzing Powder - This looks and smells like a bar of chocolate, it is my first ever bronzer so I'm still experimenting with it at the moment.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light - I reviewed this recently here

Collection Lasting Perfection in the shade 2 Light - Conceals flaws and blemishes for up to 16 hours.

Rimmel Clear Complexion Clarifying Powder in Transparent - Controls shine and mattifies skin.

Dainty Doll Blusher in shade 001 - A beautiful pale pink colour.

Nars Blusher in Deep Throat - A gorgeous coral colour with finely milled gold particles.

Nars Eye Shadow in Himalayas - When you look at the colour it looks like an off pearly white, but a swatch of it reveals a beautiful pinky lilac shimmer. I fell in love with this instantly but no matter how I try I cannot pick the colour up on photographs!








Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Lychee, Greenberry and Papaya - Lovely spring/ summer shades and a lovely formula leaves the nails with a glossy finish.

Essie Nail Lacquer in  Cascade Cool and Bikini So Teeny - These colours are so summery, I can't wait to try them!


So that ends my rather large haul, I think I better rein myself in now and stop with the lusting......until next time!!

Have you tried any of these products? What beauty products have you been trying lately?

Mini Superdrug Haul





My goodies!



I treated myself to a few items from Superdrug recently and after hearing so many good reviews on MUA (Make Up Academy)  I decided to try out their Pro Pallette Undressed and a Lipstick in the shade 15 Juicy.

Make Up Academy is known for its affordable and high quality products. Having browsed through the website, I was amazed at the amount of products they currently sell and the range of colours they stock. This brand, until very recently was completely unknown to me but after trialing these two products, I am very impressed.

The Undressed Pallette contains 12 eye shadows in natural colours of nude, taupe, bronze and grey. Two are matt colours whilst the others have a little shimmer in, these will be perfect for creating the smoky eye look.

 .

The Lipstick is a coral colour which initially I felt may be too bright for me (I usually stick to nude colours) but after trying it on I was suprised that it actually suited me. It has a nice creamy consistency that glided on well

I also decided to try the Barry M Nail Paint in the shades Ruby Glitter and 291 Cobalt Blue. With an offer of two nail varnishes for £5.00, it was too good to refuse.

 

The colours are both gorgeous, I particulary love the Ruby Glitter which is a clear varnish with speckles of red and black glitter. One coat gives a subtle effect but by building it up or using on top of another colour, it would create various pretty looks.

I can't believe it has taken me all this time to discover MUA and Barry M but I will certainly be purchasing from them again shortly. Not only do they provide excellent value for money but the quality of the goods could rival some from the higher end lines.

You can find these products and many more here www.superdrug.com

See you soon xx
