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!

Haul: Superdrug - Maybelline & MUA

Hi everyone!

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! I popped to the shops after work with my friend today and couldn't resist a browse in Superdrug. Well, there were offers on almost every brand and I was sorely tempted but ended up sticking to Maybelline as I needed a new mascara and everything was 3 for 2. I also got two things from MUA.

So here's the haul!





This is the Maybelline Eyestudio Duo in '170 Taupe Opal'. The photo doesn't do it justice as the plastic covering kept reflecting the light, but this really jumped out at me because the silver triangle is so bright and shimmery! It's a gorgeous duo and I can't wait to use it.

Individually this is £6.99.



I really wanted another Maybelline lipstick because I have two from the Pearl range and I love the colours and formulation, so I picked up a Colour Sensational Lipstick in '148 Summer Pink.' It's much brighter and pinker in real life but it's really wearable. I love it!

Individually this is £7.19.


 I picked up a Colossal Volum Express Mascara as it's my HG and I needed a new one. I got the 100% black one just to try something a bit different!

Individually this is £7.19.

So with the 3 for 2 I got the Eyestudio Duo free which was great!

I also picked up two lip products from MUA, which is a range that is all priced at a measly £1! You can pick up some great stuff and I got these products because I haven't tried any of their lipsticks or glosses yet and for a pound you can't go wrong!


I got a lipgloss in Shade 1. In real life it's pinker and has really noticeable shimmer but that doesn't transfer onto the lips, it just makes them look full and shiny. This smells great and lasts ages! I will definitely be picking up more of these!


I got a lipstick in Shade 6, it's another nice pink colour that actually isn't much different to the Maybelline one! It's smooth to apply and also lasts ages, I really recommend MUA to anyone!

Blurry swatches (my hand kept shaking!)


So there's my little weekend haul!

Hope you enjoyed!

Garnier 7 Day Intensive Moisturiser: Review

Hello everyone!

If you read my Superdrug haul post you'll have seen that I succumbed to the new moisturiser on offer from Garnier. After getting a sample of the shea butter formula in Cosmopolitan magazine, I was hooked and had to buy a bottle to try out.

Here's the bottle, although you've probably seen it already:


Now I know what you're probably thinking: it hasn't even been 7 days yet so why is she doing a review?
Well, although I can't say it's Holy Grail, I already LOVE this product!

I got the one with nourishing shea butter intended for dry to extra-dry skin which I suffer from. I am used to a moisturiser soaking into my skin then disappearing and not keeping me hydrated, but this moisturiser makes my skin feel soft and supple all day - not to mention it smells gorgeous!

The only downside for me is that the formula is quite runny where I expected it to be thick, but it actually works well and a little goes a long way!

I bought it for £2.99 but you can get a bigger bottle for £4.99.

If any of you have tried Garnier 7 Day Intensive or any of their other products I'd love to hear about it!

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.
