very mini Superdrug Haul and mini review

Hi Guys!

Just wanted to share with you my mini haul from superdrug, and when I say mini I mean two items.. :D

Firstly I purchased this foundation it is Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation

It usually retails at £5.99 but I got it for £3.99 on the introductory offer.

 

I got this foundation due to a couple reviews I have read about it claiming it to be excellent. 

I am a nightmare when it comes to foundation and can neer find the right one, for years I have never stuck with the same one. The one I have been using is Maxfactors Smooth Effect but I felt this looked too orangey on my quite pale skin. Anyway so I swatched in the shop and chose the lightest, number 01 Ivory.

Here is a couple swatches for you to have a gander at. 

I have not tried it on my face yet due to already having a full face of make up but this is it on my hand.

Small amount of foundation, the foundation is not thick but it is not watery either, it is quite easy to rub on but I feel for someone who wants heavy coverage this is not the foundation for you. Having said that however this is my opinion just from a hand swatch! 

Ok and this is it rubbed in. It has gone into the lines on my hand (liney hands at 23! eeek!) 

and in real life it looks very orangey, considering it is supposed to be an ivory colour. 

I am quite skeptical that it actually has "matched my skin colour" but like I say this is only from a hand swatch, once I use it on my face I will do a proper face review.

So there you have my first buy. 

Second buy was this beauty!

Ahhhh! who doesn't love Batiste??? 

This is the 200ml bad boy and it is the XXL Volume one.

Again I haven't tried this but bear with me and I will do a full review of this product too if you would like.

This is on offer at the moment in Superdrug at half price at £1.99 or £1.95 but whose gunna complain over a few pennies if I got it wrong?? 

Anyway I shall love you and leave you with this little lot.

Have any of you tried these products?

Mini Beauty Haul

I have been away for a week, in a little place called Pangbourne, near Reading. While there I picked up a few bits and pieces...

I was looking around for a magazine to keep me occupied on the train journey, and stumbled across the newest edition of Marie Clare, never a fan of Marie Clare really but when I saw the fantastic Ciate offer they had, just couldn't resist! 

I bought the mag with the polish in shade "my fair lady" because I think I will get more wear out of this colour.

I have been having my eye on these Ciate polishes for quite a while and I am so pleased I finally have one in my paws!!

The kind Marie Clare people also threw in this Dove hair therapy conditioner too! So who I am to complain!?

Next to be on my List was some foundation, so off I popped to Superdrug in Reading, and low and behold what do they stock!!? Sleek Make up! Well I just about fell over with excitement!! I have been wanting to try to Sleek Pout Polishes ever since seeing them on Pretty in the Desert's blog! 

My local superdrug in my little North Yorkshire town doesn't stock this brand so you can imagine how excited I was when the Pout Polishes were on a 3 for 2 offer aswell!! 

I decided to go for Pin Up, Mauve Over, and Cloud 9  (which is a mixer shade)

I tested Pin Up on the back of my hand, but misjudged how much or should I say little you actually need... cue my hands and my jumper being a red mess after trying to rub it off!! It passed the stubborness test!!

Anyway I purchased those along with some concealer and foundation from the brand.. 

I have some swatches from the Pout Polishes here for you guys...

This amount is all you need!! Maybe even less when you actually put it on your lips (another blog post for that soon!)

Top to Bottom - Cloud 9, Pin Up, Mauve Over

As you can see, very pigmented shades and a little really does go a long way. It has quite a thick consistency, and I would advise using a lip brush to apply these onto your lips, it is also a bugger to get off!! Kiss proof is what we will call it! This image is without flash, I decided to take one with the flash, (but Cloud 9 doesn't show) as the shades are a little brighter in real life and the flash image captures it a tad better!

I really want the Peachy Keen colour next! and I will defo be re purchasing these!

Thanks for reading such a long post!

Ta Ta for now!
