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 Moisturising Lip Balms in Cherry for £1.27 each, which is two lip balms for the price one usually costs, so a great deal and I ABSOLUTELY love the cherry scent. I earned 5 Superdrug Beauty Card points from my three items.

I also went to Home Bargains and bought another bottle of my shampoo, Schwarzkopf Supersoft Yoghurt & Red Berries Smoothie Shampoo for coloured hair for £1.00.

I also intend on going back to Superdrug on Thursday after work to see if they have re-stocked the Purple Rain and Lincoln Square Lavender nail polishes.

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...
