Drugstore Haul! Time to hide the debit card..


It's that time where I spend too much money but get pretty things in exchange! Yay! But someone pass me a bucket of water cause I need to stick my debit card in ice..

Let's start with lip products:
Revlon Colorburst Matte and Lacquer Balms
£7.99, currently exclusive to Boots, 3 for 2 available at time of writing.

I currently own a balm stain from Revlon in the shade honey, which is beautiful. Although I'm in a panick at the moment as I can't find it. But these seem just as nice, I brought the matte balm in 205 Elusive and the lacquer in 105 Demure. Even though I went to a fairly large store, there were only 4 of each type available, (there are 10 shades in each balm) and I'm not a huge fan of bright reds or oranges. I'm tempted to order more online. The colour payoff is nice, however its not very forgiving of my dry flaky lips. I need to wear these a few more times before judging I think.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer
£6.49 Boots

These have been around for quite sometime now, and a few more colours have been introduced since the launch. I've swatched these many times and been put off for some reason, but I took the plunge and went for number 101 Celestial. Its a your lips but better type shade, with a gloss like finish. I've heard they do dry and the finish changes, but I haven't fully tested it. I'd like to try a few more shades as these have been raved about by so many bloggers, I really don't want to miss the party (even if I have arrived fasionably late!). 

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter
£7.99 Boots

These are fabulous, and I think most people know it! Raved about so much across the blogosphere, these are a creamy light balm, with a slight glossy look. I already have two, but these were on offer at £5 each at Superdrug so I had to pick up a few more, these are 080 Strawberry Shortcake and 025 Peach Parfait. I will do a full review soon, as they becoming a bit of a staple! 

Sleek True Colour Lipstick
£4.99 Superdrug

I own one sleek lipstick in the colour Liquer, and I adore it! So naturally I became curious about other shades. Sleek is a great brand, really affordable and well known to bloggers because of their range of eyeshadow palettes. I've picked up two shades with a sheen finish in Barely There and Babydoll. I already regret buying Babydoll. It's so light that it makes me look strangely tanned (I am the girl who will pick up the lightest foundation shade without testing' as I have no need to) which was horrible. It reminded me of 'those girls' from school with a horrible orange tan and light lips. I'm going to have to wear this over something or mixed if I'm going to get any use from it. Barely there is good though, another your lips but better shade, with a slight orange tone. I plan on doing a post about Sleek soon with some product reviews.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Khol Kajal eyeliner.
£3.99 Boots

Brought on reccomendation as I realised I was missing a decent pencil eyeliner. I picked up 001 Black and 005 Nude. I got nude purely to use in the waterline to make the appearance of bigger eyes. Looking forward to testing these, but from swatching them they are really soft and creamy, so excited about these!


L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara
£5.99 introductory offer, usually £8.99, Superdrug

I've already written a full review on this, so I want say too much, apart from the fact I feel a little disappointed. I brought this in black, also comes in turquoise and violet.

Revlon Lash Potion Mascara
£9.99 Superdrug

I love this mascara, I already own it in Blackened Brown, as I stupidly picked up the wrong colour so as this was on special at £5 at super drug I thought it a good opportunity to pick up blackest black.

Max Factor Face Infinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation.
£11.99 Boots

Seeming that Cover Girls Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation is such a big deal right now, I thought it nessicary to try out the Max Factor counterpart. Seeming that they are sister companies, both owned by Proctor and Gamble, I can only assume that the formulations are the same. It claims to be a primer, concealer and foundation in one, so I recon it's going to be quite a heavy coverage, but I'm excited to try this.


Revlon Highlighting Palette
£8.99 Boots

This looks so gorgeous! A shimmer brick with rose gold and pink tones to highlight the face. Dead excited to use this, I've picked up the newest shade 020 Rose Glow. I've been tempted by many of these type products recently and as it was on 3 for 2, it was the perfect chance. I'll write again once I've had a good play!

I did buy some falsies as you can see in the top photo, they were reduced to £1.50 thanks to damaged packaging (score!) they are Eylure evening wear lashes in 120. 

Well done if you've read this far! Such a long post, sorry about that! If you've tried any if these products let me know what you think :)
