Superdrug-ish Haul

I have a haul for you today and it is slightly hair and eye themed.

I first went to Superdrug because I wanted some hair colour remover and light brown dye and I had heard of the 3 for 2 offer on make-up. I got two boxes of the ColourB4 Regular Hair Colour Remover and it is not cheap at £9.99 a box! They had a 2 for £6 offer on their own branded hair dyes, so I got two boxes of the Superdrug Colour Performance Permanent Crème Colour in 7.0 Natural Lightest Brown. It was also the only one I saw that was closest to the colour I wanted. I also took advantage of the 3 for 2 offer and got the Maybelline the COLOSSAL GO EXTREME! Volum’ Express Mascara in Very Black, Bourjois Color Edition 24H Cream Eyeshadow in 03 Pétale de glace and a Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent (free item) for my Sister.

After Superdrug I went to Argos to collect a reservation I made earlier in the day. I have always wanted a hair curling wand, but one without a clamp and something that would be easier to use. I originally decided on getting the Nicky Clarke Calabash Hair Wand, but I was too late in deciding on it and now Argos no longer stock it! The next best one I found online was the Lee Stafford WaVe and NourisH Wand, which has an argan oil infused barrel. The wand looks quite strange and funky, but I tested it out when I got home and the curls looked cute and felt quite durable, even without hair spray!

Lastly, my online order from FeelUnique.com arrived and I got theBalm Nude ‘tude Palette. I had wanted this palette for a long time, but decided against getting it because I already have all three UD Naked Palettes. All theBalm products were on a 20% off offer, so I just couldn’t resist!

What naughty purchases have you made lately?

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
