Boots Haul!


I recently visited Boots and since it was triple points i decided to stock up on a few things that i needed.

First i picked up one of the Bold Metal Collections brushes from Real Techniques. These brushes are amazing and the packaging look is so luxurious. They look like high end brushes but are readily available in many drugstores and they definitely do not break the bank at £22.00! This is the 301 Contour Brush. With the dense head brush it gives an amazing shadow to the side of your face without making it look like you have a dirty mark on your face, which is have found from a lot of other brushes I've used to contour in the past. Defo a fan of this!



Next I picked up a new hair brush. Since I've been using the GHD Air Hairdryer i find it is a lot hotter than my old one so I melted all the bristles of my Tangle Teaser. This is just Boots own make hair brush which will hopefully last me longer than my other one :/.



I've been using the Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer for years and really love it, however i was browsing the L'Oreal counter and came across the Infallible Mattifying Primer. Since i have oily parts on my face I love products that say 'Mattify' and will try most of them to see if they work well. So i will be doing a separate blog post to say how it compares to my beloved Smashbox Primer.





I have gone through at least 7 eyelash curlers in the past year alone. For some reason after a month or two of using them the don't do anything to my lashes and i need to invest on a new pair. I usually return to the FCUK ones that do work but wear out quick. So I have bought the No7 ones to see if they will last me any longer. I've heard the Shu Uemura Eyelash curlers are supposed to be the best, however they are rather pricey at £20 for them. However if the No7 ones don't last then i will be investing in them!



I bought two under eye concealers. The first one is the L'Oreal Lumi Magique concealer. The packaging is almost identical to the YSL Touche Eclat (but I've never purchased it so i cannot comment on the formula) and Secondly the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I love both these products for brightening under your eyes and making them look a little less tired when you do not get enough sleep. The Rimmel wake me up product has tiny bits of glitter running through it which helps add some brightness under your eyes.




And lastly a very boring product but one i go through a lot of. Listerine Mouthwash. I love this and it is by far my favorite of all I've tried. This green one is the spearmint flavor, however this product does nip my gums if it's in for too long which is annoying.



Hope that wasn't too long!

Lip Blams

For a couple of years now I've been suffering with the worst case of dry/cracked lip imaginable. All day I am constantly applying lip balm as my lips without anything covering them is agony. They constantly crack and then bleed, they flake off and to be completely honest it isn't exactly very nice to be talking to someone and feel as though they are just staring at your flakey lips. So since I feel like I am an expert in the field of lip balm as I own and have tried what feel like hundreds over the past two years that I would give you my personal opinion on a few Lip Balm I have tried out recently and wether they were work the money, and if they have done anything to help my lips. 1. La Roche-Posay - Barrier Repairing Balm I initially bought this as I had heard Estee Lalonde rave about how good it was for helping her lips from being so cracked and sore so thought it would help me. I use this every night and lather it on my lips and yes I do think it helps...

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...
