I Went To Superdrug...

Hi girls!

As you can tell by the title, I took a little visit to Superdrug, which was supposed to be for just essentials, which I did get, but also got distracted by that naughty 3 for 2 on all make up sign too! Doh!! So my essentials were deodorant, toothbrushes, dry shampoo and a lip balm. The last two of which are in this haul! The other two just seemed a bit more boring!! Hehe

So I always use Batiste dry shampoo, because it works well in my hair and I love the smell of the tropical version! It was £4.99 for the huge can, and recently this size has been lasting me months and months, so its a good buy for me!

Next up I bought a new lip balm as I really feel my lips need this as the weather gets really cold and horrid. I find that the Blistex lip balms are really good, but I wanted one that would give my lips a bit of colour when I used it. So I opted for the Vaseline Rosy Lips, which gives a pretty pink glow on my lips! I got it for £2.05. 

I really cannot wait to go to America in February and get my hands on some of those Maybelline Baby Lips!! I have read and heard so much about them and sadly they do not sell them in the UK!! I cannot wait to buy some of those colours!!

Then I had to buy another Garnier Tinted Eye Roll-on, as my last one ran out! I think these are fab and a great way to conceal your under eyes as well as getting some goodness into that area too, which tries to clear up your dark circles. I do think that it does help eliminate them, but of course not completely! At the moment in Superdrug, this is only £5.09!

Next up is this super pretty blusher from Gosh! I have been looking for a "darker" blush for a while now and no one seems to do them! It comes out as a really pretty dark pink/plum, with a light pinky peach sheen, which is really lovely on the skin and perfect for the winter months! You could also pick out certain colours, rather then blending them altogether and create a different blush each time! It cost £7.99, which I wa shappy to pay for as I have had Gosh blushers before and they were fab!!

Swatch of all the colours swirled together.

I also picked up this cute little lip gloss from Sleek. I picked up the colour Whisper and its a really pretty baby pink, with no shimmer. Great for a lighter lip during the day and I got this for free too! It would have been £3.99.

Then at last I picked up a Sleek eye shadow palette!! I have been wanting one for months and months and I am so pleased I picked it up! I bought the Storm palette, which has a good array of colours. It was £7.99 and for 12 great eye shadows I think it is a bargain! I will be doing a post with swatches of the colours you get and also will create a look from the palette too!!

Have you been into Superdrug recently? I need to stay away from the shops!! Sorry Spending ban!! Hehe!

Superdrug Beauty Haul!

Hey girlies! So another beauty haul for you! I sho in Superdrug when I need all the essentials and as I have a Superdrug Beauty card it means I can collect points and get money off! I also got another 3 for 2 deal on make up items!


So I bought quite a few things, as you can see!

This was the first thing I picked up, surprise, surprise a Revlon Lip Butter!! This one is called Peach Parfait and I love it, and it was £7.99! I love how they feel on the lips and not drying at all! Below is the swatch and as you can see Peach Parfait is a peachy, coral with a hint of pink and also a hint of gold shimmer through it as well.

Then I picked up this Gosh bronzer, which I think they say is actually a blusher, but no way would I use it as a blush! It is a really good bronzer colour though, as can be seen on the swatch below and was £8.19. I had a Gosh blusher before and I loved it, so as I needed a bronzer i thought I would pick this up!  

I wanted to get a treatment for my nails, as I have had gel nails on my nails for a while now and I wanted to get my nails stronger. So I bought this and this was my free item in the 3 for 2 deal!

I then went ahead and bought Bio Oil, as it may help my skin. I did a patch area on my arm and I never got any reaction from it so thats good. Also it left my arm feeling really soft and well hydrated. I shall maybe try using it on my chest and neck to see if it will help there. It was £8.99 for the 60ml bottle and it comes out in little droplets. I think a little of this goes a long way too!

Then I bought the Garnier BB cream in the light version, which was £7.49. So I will try it out and see what its like for my skin, I do prefer using creams rather than a powder for my face, as a powder dries it out more! I also use the Garnier under eye concealer, which I think is great, so hopefully this is too!

The last two items I bought was a powder blusher/bronzer brush for £5.49 and an eyelash curler for £3.99. The brand for both of these is QVS, which I had never heard of before. I don't know how good the brush will be, but it has soft bristles. I really needed an eyelash curler, as I haven't actually got one of these before. Not sure how well this one will work, I shall let you guys know!


Have you tried any of these products?
