SuperDrug Haul

Yes, I've been shopping a fair bit lately. I thought I'd treat myself, and why not. We all need a treat now and again, don't we.

Superdrugs a shop i don't that often go into, mainly because i work for Boots, so just tend to buy things i need while I'm at work, or with my Staff Discount. But i have noticed, Superdrug does have some better offers than boots, and they also carry a different range of make up brands, One of them being Sleek, my favourite highstreet brand. So on the occasion i pop in, i do usually end up buying something.

This time though, so many things caught my eye!

My first purchase, and main reason for heading to Superdrug was to pick up the new MUA, Undress Your Skin Highlighter. One of my local Superdrugs was completely sold out! Its been muchly raved about across the Blogsphere, as its apparently pretty good dupe for the much loved MAC Mineralize Skin Finish, I'm unsure of a particular shade having not tried them before.
I always have a look at the Sleek stand if I'm in Superdrug, as i said previously they are my favourite high street make up brand, I particularly LOVE their i-Divine Palettes, they are incredibly pigmented and have the most stunning colours in. I've not seen this palette before, so I'm not sure if its new, but picked up the SnapShots Palette, so many bright colours! its going to be perfect for summer.
And my last purchase was very much on impulse, and its from a new brand called B. i was really intrigued, and they were running a free gift offer if you spent £10, so i thought that'd be the perfect way to try out a range of products from the brand, as they aren't just MakeUp but skincare as well. To spend £10 i chose two lipsticks, i was there for ages deciding what products and shades to buy, there is so much choice! The other great thing about B. is that they are suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, and all the products carry the jumping bunny logo, meaning they are certified by Cruelty Free International. 

This is just a quick post, to show you what goodies i picked up, and i plan to do a full post on each purchase.
Have you treated yourself to anything lately?

Elf Haul

So Last week Or over the weekend, i cant remember (the sun has melted my brain) ELF (eyeslipsface.co.uk) had a great offer on, well 2 great offers. You could either choose, Free delivery AND a lip gloss or a free, 6-in-1 beauty palette thingy. I already had a list as long as my arm of stuff i wanted to get, and over on Beauty Box Swaps, we've been organising our latest surprise swaps (Jubilee Swap) So, i took advantage of the offer, and got myself some bits, and a couple of things for my secret swap. So I'll show you what goodies i got for myself, i have to keep the other stuff secret! 

(I imagine my pictures are horribly glarey, i took them outside, and i cant see them properly, Its SO bright)

ELF brushes have such a good rep! I think their probably the best value brushes around, as they are pretty good quality. The regular ELF range cost £1.50 and the studio range generally cost £3.50 with a few brushes costing slightly more.

This time, i chose the Studio Powder brush, its SO soft and has a flat top so i thought it'd be good for buffing in products. The second brush i got, isn't really a brush at all, its a glitter eyeshadow applicator. It has like a heart shaped silicone top to it, which is meant to pick up the glitter and place it on your eye without to much fall out. I don't really wear much glitter eyeshadow, but i was to intrigued to leave it behind, and if it really works it'll be handy to have in my kit bag. Very interested to see how that goes.

Next up is an Mascara Primer

This claims to Lengthen & Volumise and also Revitalise lashes, it contains Pro-Vitamin B5, Hydrolyzed Wheat and Soy Protein, to help nourish lashes. I'm going to a quiz night this evening, so i might give it a little test. My lashes are already quite long so we will see how long it makes them, I never really think about eyelashes, like having to nourish them like you do your skin and hair, but i guess its just the same. So perhaps they'll be glad of some nourishment, especially in this amazing weather.

This cost me £3.50

The other thing i bought for myself is Mineral Moisturising Lip Tint with SPF 8 In Guava .

You may have noticed from my last couple of posts, I'm really into this colour at the moment, It's a really summery colour. This product has really good colour pay off, and like it says is really moisturising, the SPF in it is really handy aswell! saves having to use 2 different lip products, though the SPF is quite low.

So that's my little Elf haul.

If you haven't already looked, I'd definitely recommend checking out their website. The products are reasonably priced, they've recently updated with some new products. I've got my eye on the mineral face cleanser, looks like it could be a dupe for Dermalogica Microfoliant! They usually have some good offer on aswell.

Did you take advantage of this offer?

Lots of Love
