Superdrug Shopping!

Hi everyone!

I just thought I'd show you all my very little 'haul' from Superdrug this week! I only wanted a red lipliner but of course, you never come away with just one thing do you!


The lipliner is Rimmel's Lasting Finish liner in 021 Red Dynamite. I've wanted a red liner for ages as I always feel my red lipstick straying over onto my skin and I have to constantly touch it up, so this is perfect for lining and filling in my lips so lipstick has something to cling to!

 I also picked up a Bourjois Effet 3D Gloss in 06 Rouge Democratic. Bourjois glosses are my favourite! This is a gorgeous, shimmery cherry red and looks perfect just on its own.

GOSH Nail Lacquers are my favourite also so when I spotted these two I had to have them! They are such good dupes of MAC's Mischievious Mint and Ice Cream Cake! I love the formulation and application of GOSH lacquers and these shades are perfect for summer!

Hope you've picked up some nice things lately!

Summer Lips: Lipstick Recommendations

Hi everyone!

With summer fast approaching, it's time to break out the bright colours! I thought I'd do a post showing you all the lipsticks I'll be wearing in summer, they're all really affordable (except one which is MAC...) and gorgeous colours for the summer.

I took these in my wardrobe as it's so sunny outside that my dressing table was a terrible shooting spot!

Without flash:


Left to right:

Rimmel Moisture Renew 620 Coral Queen, MAC Lustering, MUA Shade 6, Maybelline Colour Sensational 148 Summer Pink


With Flash:


Same order as above.

Flash just shows the true colours a little better for you!

These are all gorgeous pinks except the Rimmel Coral Queen lipstick, which is a really punchy coral. I was wary of it at first but I've actually had loads of compliments about it when I've worn it so I urge you, if you're used to your baby and neutral pinks, be brave this summer!

Lustering is well used, as you can see! It's a gorgeous, stand out pink that I love to wear on a night out. It's a lustre finish and it looks glossy on the lips.

MUA Shade 6 was only a pound! Bargain! It's so pigmented and glides on so smoothly, it's the best lipstick formula I've tried, and for a quid it's amazing!

Maybelline Summer Pink is a lovely hot pink with slight shimmer. It's a great colour, it just doesn't apply that well. Maybe I got a dud because my other Maybelline lipsticks apply fine. It's still a beautiful colour!

Swatches, which don't showthe true colours and do the lipsticks justice, but I threw it in anyway!


So there's my Summer Lipstick Recommendations!

What will you be wearing on your lips this summer?

Superdrug Haul

Hello there!

Along with popping into River Island, I paid Superdrug a visit too as I was in need of a new kohl eyeliner.
Here's what I got:



Rimmel had a 3 for 2 offer on so I picked up their kohl eyeliner. I also got a Lasting Finish nail polish in 030 Double Decker Red. I love red nails and this looked like a lovely shade to try out. I'm a big fan of Rimmel nail polishes.
I also got a Moisture Renew lipstick in the shade 260 Amethyst Shimmer which I plan to do a review on soon so watch out for that!

I'm always on the hunt for a Holy Grail foundation. I've been using and loving Max Factor's Xperience foundation but it just isn't quite perfect. My friend recommended Bourjois' Healthy Mix foundation so I got it in the shade 51 which was the palest shade. Again I'll review this :)

I was drawn to the Gosh nail lacquers because I picked up a gorgeous orange one last time I was in Superdrug. I wasn't disappointed and found the stunning sparkly lacquer in 562 Magic Star. I think it will look great layered over other polishes.

I'm going on a night out tomorrow night in celebration of my 19th birthday so in order to look extra glam I got some Ardell falshes lashes in 101 Demi. They look thick and full but not over the top.

Last but not least I got a bottle of Garnier's new 7 Day Intensive moisturiser. I got the one with shea butter for very dry skin as that is definately my skin type, and I got a free sample of it in Cosmopolitan and loved the scent. I'll be trying this out every day so I'll update you on how it goes.

And that's it! Hope you enjoyed reading.
