I've been purchasing the odd bit here and there recently and it wasn't until I put it all together that I realised I'd bought quite a bit! (isn't that always the way!) Just going to put it out there and blame most of this on my friend, Jess (she has a youtube, click here to check it out!), she keeps telling me I need things in my life and then I buy them. So I thought I'd share my most recent purchases with you all...
Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation in 100 Ivory £5.99
I bought this simply because I'd heard so many good things about this and am currently looking my perfect matte foundation. I currently have tried this yet but when I do a review will be up on my blog!
Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Concealer in 02 Light £5.99
This was a recommendation from my friend Jess again! I really like this concealer but the only problem is that it is too dark for my skin tone and I picked up the lightest in the shade range! It's still usable but only when I blend it really well!
Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer £5.99
I have oily skin so struggle with certain primers and when I saw this it quickly made its way into my basket! I haven't heard much about this specific primer so was intrigued. I have used this recently and can say I really like it, its doesn't have a silicone feel to it which I really like and makes my skin feel so soft too. Most importantly though I find it does prolong the wear of my make up throughout the day!
Tanya Burr's Lip Gloss in Chic £6.99
I had to pick something up from Tanya Burr's new launch and I chose this lip gloss in Chic, I really like how it is quite a muted nude shade and goes perfectly with my skin tone! It smells and tastes amazing! I'm really pleased I brought this and will definitely be picking some more up, my eye is currently on Aurora!
No.7 Beautifully Matte Foundation in Calico £13.50
Like I've said I've been on the hunt for my perfect matte foundation. I've been colour matched to the shade Calico and it is my perfect shade! The foundation is really good but can be drying on any dry patches so I use another foundation around dry areas!
Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm £34.00
I have been tempted to buy for this ages but again Jess pushed me to buy (she's such a bad influence!) and I haven't regretted it since! This is so good! My skin felt amazing since first using it, I can't believe I was questioning whether or not to buy it! If you were like me I'd 100% recommend you to take the plunge, you won't regret it!
Tanya Burr's Nail Polish in Little Duck £5.99
I had to buy a nail polish to go along with the lip gloss, it would've been rude not to! I picked Little Duck and it is such a nice colour! I painted my nails with this, with no base or top coat and it lasted for ages without a chip, even when I was at work (which normally breaks my nails or chips my polish!). So impressed! Really want to try more!
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water £4.99
I picked this up after being recommended it (again from Jess!) I really didn't like the L'Oreal micellar water so was sceptical to try this. I was really surprised, didn't leave a residue on my skin or leave my skin tight like the L'Oreal one had! It even removes waterproof make up! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Balm Balm Tea Tree Oil £5.75
I bought this after watching Fleur's video as a natural spot remedy. I'm not blown away but it does work, especially in drying out spots. Would reach for my Origins Super Spot Remover over this though!
Boots Botanics All Bright Cleansing Toner £3.99
I love my Liz Earle Skin Tonic but wanted to try something a bit more brightening for the morning. I'm really enjoying this, my skin looks more radiant which I really like! It's apparently a dupe for the Pixi Glow Tonic but with this I doubt I'll be needing to try that anytime soon!
Well I brought more than I thought I had! I've been on a bit of a spending splurge recently so there will probably be another haul not long from now so keep your eyes peeled! Also as I have mentioned her enough times in this post make sure you go and subscribe to Jess' Youtube channel, follow her on twitter and make sure to check out her haul video too!
Until next time...
