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?

She Said Beauty; September

I'm slowly catching up on my missed posts, i have quite a back log of them.

But today, She Said Beauty.

The September box;

PopChips; These are essentially crisps, though they aren't fried or baked. They're popped. They contain less fat and calories than regular fried crisps. They tasted really good, the only downside in the pack you only got literally 5/6 crisps. I think in an actual packet you get a lot more. But for the size of the bag i was expecting at least a couple more. But they were lovely. They also come in Original and Barbecue flavour. I'd really like to try some other flavours.

Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel; This is a very gentle exfoliator, it works by dissolving the dry skin rather than sloughing it away with rough particles. This gel literally melts you dead skin away, its a little bit disgusting, but amazing. You apply it to a dry face, and massage it in. As you massage you can actually see your dead/dry skin peeling away. I'm not to keen on the smell, but it leaves my skin feeling so incredibly soft.

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil; This cleanser comes from Japan, It thoroughly dissolved dirt, oil and cosmetics. Oily cleansers are especially good on waterproof mascara. The other great thing about this cleanser is that it completely rinses away with water. I've not used this cleanser yet, but from what I've read I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Amie Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask; Is a refreshing deep cleansing mask, that draws out dirt and impurities. It also helps soak up excess oil and prevents blemishes. The mask contains refreshing lime and peppermint,as well as french white clay and natural anti-bacterial Zinc Oxide which helps reduce and clear spots.

You all know i love my face masks, and although this isn't particularly suited to my skin, I'm definitely going to try it out, as i think the lime and peppermint sound amazing.

Collection Primed & Ready Smoothing Makeup Primer; This is a silky smooth make up primer. It helps smooth the appearance of open pores and also any fine lines.The tube is teeny tiny 18ml, if you're just starting out with primers or even make up, it would probably be a good starting product. Collection products are usually reasonably priced and the tube is small enough to not have to commit to much but big enough to have a good  ol' test of the product.

Collection Fix Me Up Make Up Fixer; I would compare this to MAC fix +, but i won't. Though the concepts are the same, its a spray to fix your make up, the collection spray smells horrible. MAC fix+ is a delight to use, Collection Fix Me Up. No thanks. Yucky. If you want to try it out, its a small enough bottle, and i suppose it does its job of keeping your make up intact. But its whether or not you can deal with the funny smell?

September She Said Beauty, some nice 'different' products. I liked the appearance of some crisps, nice little change.

What did you think of this months box?
