Hello everyone!
The other day, me and my boyfriend hopped on a train and decided to take a trip to Lincoln, that being one of the closest cities to where I live, out here in the sticks! I decided to treat myself to a few beauty bits as I haven't in a very long time and I thought, I can't buy make-up and not write about it! So, here I am with a short post today, a mini make-up haul. I bought all of these bits from Boots, and got sucked into the 3 for 2 offer that they have on at the minute. I initially wanted just a couple of things but ended coming out with a few more and a very impatient and bored boyfriend.
I love nude coloured nails for this time of year and my favourite nude polish, Street Beige from Avon, has almost run out so I had to pick up another nude but decided to look for an alternative to the Avon one. Barry M is always a winner for me when it comes to their nail polishes, especially their Gelly Hi-Shine formulas, so I knew exactly where to look. The shade that I bought, Lychee, is just the perfect simple nude, and being in their Hi-Shine formula, they tend to last a long time and give a lovely shiny finish. So, I am very excited to test that out. Another purchase on the nail polish front, was the Rimmel Salon Pro Kate nail polish in the shade Saturn. As soon as I saw this on the shelf I just had to have it. It is one of the most gorgeous shade I've ever laid my eyes on, it's difficult to explain and I'm sure that my explanation won't do it justice. It is a deep green, gold, orange shimmery polish. (That's the best explanation you're going to get). It is just gorgeous, I have another polish from Rimmel in this formula which I love so I would recommend that you all check it out and I am definitely going to pick up the other colour similar to this, which I think was called Mercury. Next I purchased the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kajal in the shade Nude. I have been looking for a nude eye pencil for a while, to use on my waterline to brighten up my eyes and make them appear bigger and have heard so many good things about these particular eye pencils from Rimmel so decided to give it a go.
Next, I got three lip products. I love lip products, whether it be a lipstick, a lip gloss or a lip pencil, I just love them and my collection of lip products seems to be growing a bit too quickly than my make-up storage can handle. As soon as the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lip creams came out, I wanted to try them but have only just got round to getting them, I have no idea why. I got the shades Grand Cru and Nude-ist. I tried Nude-ist out as soon as I got home and these seem really easy to apply with the little doe foot applicator and one layer of the lacquer on your lips is good enough. They do have a matte finish so are a bit drying on your lips. I am super excited to try the deep red colour out too, because that's my favourite shade for autumn and winter. Finally, I got the Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil in the shade Red Essential. I love lipsticks in crayon form because of their easiness to apply, just like colouring in! I got a nice vibrant red shade because, again, I just love reds!
Have you picked anything up recently?
