Superdrug Haul #1

I went to Superdrug a couple of hours ago and bought a couple of things, hardly worth hauling I know, but I’ve just started blogging and it’s something to blog about.

I originally went to Superdrug to buy two nail polishes by NYC because there was an offer on for 3 for 2 on that brand. Plus Barry M (I collect their nail paints) didn’t have two shades similar to the ones I was going to purchase. I was going to get NYC’s Quick Dry Polish in Lincoln Square Lavender and Long Wearing Polish in Starry Silver Glitter. And I also went to get a headband because I have an interview tomorrow and I want to do something different with my hair rather than leaving it just down, because it is thick and doesn’t stay straight and in place that long, so a headband would give it some depth and break it up a bit on my head, plus it makes me look even more mature.

So back to what I actually bought from Superdrug, all of three items. I couldn’t find the two NYC polishes I was after, as they were sold out so I picked up Superdrug’s Wide Alice Headband for £2.59, Maybelline’s Volum’ Express the Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara in Glam Black for £5.99 (was £7.99) and lastly Carmex’s Moisturising Lip Balm in Cherry for £2.54. So overall I spent £11.12 and received 11 BeautyCard points, which I think is wrong seeing as though on their website the mascara is worth 25 points, the lip balm is worth 10 points and the headband is worth 10 points!!!! So I don’t know how they work it out if you buy all three together.

I haven't tried any of the products out yet, but I will be hopefully wearing the headband tomorrow, if I remember to put it on. I'm not really looking forward to the interview as it is about an hour and ten minutes drive from where I live, so I'll be very nervous and probably feeling crappy because of the boring car journey, but hay ho it should all be worth it in the end. On another note the lip balm smells ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I love the cherry scent so much. I was going to get the original one but when I saw the cherry one I thought I may as well buy it because it will have a scent and it's the exact same price as the original, so in my mind I was getting something kind of 'extra' for the same amount of money.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat
