Superdrug.com Haul #1

I made an order on Superdrug.com last week because I was after a few items that are sold in Superdrug, but just not in my local store. PLUS it is FREE standard delivery from the website until the 24 th December at 12am! I bought four items in total and I also received a FREE Dare/Health magazine inside the box. I bought three Barry M Nail Paints in 284 Emerald Green, 295 Turquoise and 134 Yellow. These were £2.99 each as always. The Emerald Green is just a metallic glittery dark/emerald green. The Turquoise just looks like a sky blue, but my sister has this colour and it is a very pretty bright turquoise colour on the nails, and the Yellow is exactly like it’s name. Lastly I have been waiting for this item to come into stock on the website for ages and as it is FREE shipping I had to buy it straight away and it is the MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette in Heaven and Earth. It cost me £4 and the colours look beautiful, I have not yet swatched the colours, but I will do s...

EOTD #3 - Working Girl

Because I am now working I don’t have time to put too much make-up on in the morning, plus it can look unprofessional, seeing as though I work at a dental surgery! So I have opted for a simpler eye look lately, especially during the week whilst I am working. On my eyelids I am wearing MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque and then on my lower lashline I have used e.l.f Eyelid Primer and then Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked and for mascara I have used Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion in Black. On my brows I used my usual Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 002 Hazel and then 2true Instant Colour Mascara in 1 Clear as my brow gel. For my face I used Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation in 004 Light Porcelain all over my face and e.l.f Tone Correcting Concealers in Rosy Beige and Ivory under my eyes and on any redness or blemishes. Today I decided to put some Benefit High Beam on my cheekbones and use my new Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent all over my fac...

Boots & Superdrug Haul

I went to Boots and Superdrug today to pick up a few beauty related items. I did not get everything I intended to buy as they were not in stock. I went back to Superdrug to get the NYC Lincoln Square Lavender, but it was still not in stock, by the look of it Superdrug haven’t re-stocked for weeks, grrrrr. I also went to find the new Barry M Nail Effects Crackle in Purple Rain but my Boots haven’t stocked it yet and my Superdrug was completely sold out!!!! So I was not very happy! But I still purchased some items, especially the powder I was after. From Boots I bought the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 001 Transparent for £3.99 and I received 12 Boot’s Advantage Card points. And from Superdrug I bought the Barry M Nail Paint in 301 Block Orange, which I a really bright orange colour. I had I list of colours I wanted, but this was the only one Superdrug has stocked! The nail paint was £2.99. I also heard that the Carmex lip balms were half price, so I purchased two Moi...

Graze - Box #3

I decided to order another food box from Graze, which I got for free, seeing as though you get your first box free, you pay for your second box and then the third is free. Here is what I received this time, in my third box...... Use this code for a FREE box:   3L3RDY3   (you must not already be a member to use this code) And a closer look at all four.... Cracked Black Pepper Cashews “Cashews roasted with cracked black pepper & sea salt” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1008/nuts They smell like salt and pepper (lol). And they taste like salt and pepper peanuts and they are quite nice. Contains: Cashew nuts, Salt, Maltodextrin, Wheat flour, Sugar, Spices, Yeast extract, Lemon powder, Black pepper, Sunflower oil Korean Chilli Rice Crackers “Crunchy rice crackers with spicy chilli” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers They smell and taste like oriental spicy crisps. You get the kick of the chilli right at the end, w...

MAC Haul #1

I have always looked at MAC products but I never thought I would buy any seeing as though they are way over priced and there are better products in drug stores, but I relented on this occasion because of two factors. One I really wanted Rubenesque Paint Pot and Two the delivery charge was FREE for a short period of time, so I decided what the hell and took advantage of the offer! As you have probably already guessed I bought a Paint Pot in Rubenesque which was £13.50. Rubenesque is one of the most loved paint pots and it is a shiny peachy colour, my swatch picture really does not do it justice. I also bought a Tinted Lipglass in a Limited Edition colour called Good Times, which was £12.50. I was kind of suckered into buying this because I saw a swatch of it in one of Temptalia’s videos and I thought I just had to buy it, so I did. Good Times is a pale mauve pink colour and looks really light and milky, it is very pretty but not wearable on it’s own for me as it looks whit...

Graze - Box #2

I decided to order another food box from Graze, which I bought with my own money (£3.49). I also get my third box FREE so I may be sending off for that one soon. In the meantime, here’s what I received this time, in my second box......  Use this code for a FREE box: 3L3RDY3 (you must not already be a member to use this code) A closer look at all four food items.... The Fire Cracker “Chilli rice crackers, spicy peanuts & salsa corn sticks” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers The packet as a whole smells quite spicy and savoury. The chilli rice crackers smell quite spicy and you can only smell hints of chilli, which are not strong at all. They are also very spicy on your tongue but taste great, so I suggest maybe having a glass of water with you when you eat these. The spicy peanuts smell like the chilli rice crackers, apart from you get a slight nutty under scent. They taste a bit weird and powdery, the taste is not s...

EOTD #1

I thought I would post an Eye of the Day (EOTD) shot, the picture is not brilliant, but you kind of get the gist. As an eye primer/base I used Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin. In the inner corners of my eyes I am wearing a bit of Urban Decay Eyeshadow in URB and Too Faced Eyeshadow in Honeypot. On my eyelid I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked. And in the crease I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Smog and for the outer corners of my eyes I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. For the top lash line I just have a bit of Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. And for the lower lash line I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked next to my inner corner colour and then in the middle I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Smog and then on my outer lower lash line I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. I also used two coats of Maybelline’s One by One Mascara in Black on my top and lower lashes. The Urban Decay Eyeshadow’s I used were from the Vegan Palette a...

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 s...
