I honestly only went into Superdrug for a new Maybelline Brow Satin which is my old faithful when it comes to filling in my eyebrows, but... you know what it's like, you go in and try to make a beeline for the stand that you know you need but something inevitably catches your eye and once you've been drawn in there is truly no escape. Needless to say I NEVER only come back with the thing I went for. In my defence it's 3 for the price of 2 across all cosmetics in Superdrug at the mo (normally the offers are brand specific) so you can mix and match your fave brands plus as an added bonus you get a free makeup bag :), see it's totally not my fault (at least thats what I'm telling myself).
1. Loreal Infallible 24h-Matte foundation (shade Natural Rose) 2. Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer (shade 101 Celestial no.1 in pic 2) 3. Loreal Collection Exclusive by Julianne (shade Julianne's nude no.2 in pic 2) 4. Barry M Gelly high shine nail paint (shade 434 Blueberry) 5. Co-Lab Extreme Volume Dry shampoo (London) 6. Maybelline Brow satin (shade Dark Blonde no.4 in pic 2) 7. Gosh Long lasting brow pen (shade 002 Venetian brown no.3 in pic 2)
Okay so in my defence when I saw the 3 for 2 offer I figured that I may as well pick up my fave foundation at the mo as I'm running dangerously low and then of course I 'needed' to get one more item to make up my 3 products.
As soon as I saw the Loreal Collection exclusive lipsticks I knew I had to have at least one in my ever growing lipstick stash, and being that I am drawn to more nude shades lately I had to pick this one. Now, don't get me wrong they are all beautiful nude shades but the 2 that I loved the most were the Julianne and the Jennifer ones but as they were all out of Jennifer my decision was made for me, although, that does mean I'm going to have to go shopping again to pick up another one (such a shame lol).
I know that technically speaking I had my 3 items and should have left it at that but I just couldn't help myself when the beautiful shade of blue from the Barry M stall caught my eye, I mean just look at it, I think I know what colour my nails are going to be for the next month lol, and then of course I had to make it 3 again, only logical right? so I picked up the Gosh brow pen, not because I intend on replacing my Brow satin but, the one thing I find lacking in the Brow satin is the definition and so I'm hoping that with the pen I will be able to draw on some individual hairs and further define the shape (fingers crossed).
Next up I chose the Avocalips simply because I have tried various different lip lacquers and after trying and loving the Rimmel Provocalips long lasting lip lacquers I knew I had to give this one a try. I am absolutely in love with the packaging and don't get me started on the shade I chose a fairly neutral every day shade but who knows if I really like it I may have to go back and buy them all lol. As an added bonus in Superdrug at the moment not only do they have 3 for 2 across all cosmetics but you get a nifty little Makeup bag when you buy 3 cosmetics, as I bough 6 products they actually let me have 2 meaning my mini makeup addict also known as Isabella (my daughter) got one too making me once again the "Best mummy EVER" lol.
Last but not least I picked up some dry shampoo, I love using dry shampoo for adding texture and volume to my hair and of course for those days when I've not washed my hair (I like to go about 3 days between washes in order to keep my hair healthy) and out of all the ones I've tried this is the one I keep going back to. It's lovely and light weight and doesn't leave the white powder residue that some dry shampoos do, the only down side is that it is a little more pricey than a lot of other brands (including batiste which works great too) so I only really buy it when it's on offer and lucky for me it was today :) . Anyway I hope you enjoy my mini makeup haul I know I'm going to enjoy playing with my new makeup lol, I have also just received my Lorac Pro 1 palette so I will be posting a review and swatches on that soon so come back soon
