It's been ages since I lost my mind in Boots and left with half the shop but that's exactly what happened last week!
After watching a couple of YouTube Beauty Bloggers I had quite a few products in the back of my mind that I wanted to try and then there was lots of deals on.....excuses, excuses!
Anyway, here are all the sordid details!
The first deal that grabbed me was the Maybelline 3-for-2.
I bought the Fit Me Concealer in Fair (£5.99) and the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser (£7.99) which I've heard is an excellent dupe for the Benefit Porefection one. I got the Brow Drama in Blonde free (normally £4.99). This is also a dupe of the Benefit Speedbrow. It basically has a slight tint to it but it's main function is keeping those unruly brows in place, which it does exceptionally well. I'm a convert!
The Concealer is ok, but not as good as some other drugstore options and I've yet to give the Primer a good test.
Next up was a 3-for-2 on Soap & Glory Products.
I'm already in love with the Thick & Fast Mascara (£10) so picked up another one of those and then there was a couple of lip products I wanted to try.
I bought a lipstick for the first-time after hearing it was a perfect dupe for the MAC Lipstick in the shade Fanfare. This Soap & Glory one is called The Missing Pink (£9). So far, I really like it. It's hydrating and a really good colour - a sort of "your-lips-but-better" pink. I layer it with a slick of neutral lipgloss and it's really pretty.
Last but not least, the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Bashful (I got it free but it's usually £8) is amazing! It's super-hydrating and easy to apply. And Bashful adds the perfect hint of pink to your lips. Great for every-day use.
The last make-up product I wanted to try was this Max Factor Cream Blush (£6.99) in the shade Soft Pink.
The real reason I bought it is kind of embarrassing.....
We've just had brand new CREAM carpets fitted at the house and I'm scared of ruining them with my make-up so I thought I would try a cream blush.....it's that or I just do what most girls do and apply my make-up in the bathroom!
I've tried it a couple of times and so far I'm a little bit under-whelmed. It's really handy for blush touch-ups on the go though so I'll keep using it for now.
After all that Make-Up my attention shifted to the Haircare aisle.
These Charles Worthington Salon at Home Volume and Bounce Texturising Spray's were two for £8 (normally £6.99 each). They're supposed to be a great dupe for the heartbreakingly expensive Oribe Texturising Spray.
It's so good! Not only does it volumize, it also has amazing hold. It will be absolutely perfect for creating beachy, undone waves in the Spring. But for now I'm loving it for some serious root lift - no more flat hair for this girl! #bighairdon'tcare
Finally, I picked up the L'Oreal EverPure Colour Care & Volume, Shampoo & Conditioner (2 for £9 but usually £6.20 each). I've used these before and really liked them. They're free of sulphates and leave your hair feeling really clean and fresh, as well as keeping your colour bright. I have highlighted hair and often find that some shampoo and conditioners can make my colour look really flat and yellowy. Not these ones, so whenever they're on offer I usually pick up a couple.
Do you guys ever go crazy in Boots/Superdrug? There's just too many tempting products for me.....! x
