Saturday Shopping Spree

I obviously went out shopping again today. I wanted to buy a few items anyway, such as, a face primer, concealer, eyeliner and the Barry M Nail Paint I have been obsessing about for weeks.

From Superdrug I bought the Rimmel Fix & Perfect PRO Primer in 002, which is a white cream but there is no actual colour when on the skin. I had seen a video that recommended this primer so I had to go and check it out. It was a bit pricy for what it is, but I suppose it’s cheaper than most and is probably worth the money in the end. It was £6.99. I also picked up a Rimmel Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer in 010 Ivory for £5.99. I also saw this in a video, so I’m hoping it lives up to expectations. I also wanted to get another Rimmel Special Eyes Precision Eyeliner Pencil in 161 Black Magic, as I love my brown one and I always meant to buy the black one. I got this eyeliner for FREE because there was a 3 for 2 offer which meant I paid for the primer and concealer and got the cheaper item for FREE, otherwise the eyeliner costs £2.99. The last item I bought from Superdrug was a Barry M Nail Paint in 302 Fuchsia, after weeks of wanting it, so finally I have it! I received 115 Superdrug Beautycard Points for the items I bought.

I always have a look in Boots if I go past so I looked at the Christmas gift sets and came across some new stocked Soap & Glory products, I never noticed that they sold this item before so I tested it and liked and purchased it. It was the Soap & Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray in 100ml for £3.11. There was a bigger size too that came in a box packaging for £6. something, but I wanted the smaller bottle just in case I bore of the scent. I earned 12 Boots Advantage Card Points for my purchase.

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
