Small Boots Haul

First I want to apologise for by lack of blog post last week, I had no inspiration to write but I'm back with as the title suggests a boots haul. I picked but one thing that was an essential and the rest were thing i just like the look of 

Skin clear one touch spot stick:

Now this was the essential produce I have over the last week have been neglecting my skin care routine and now I am paying for it will some spots that are sore. So I thought I would give this a try and with it only being £1.49 it was reduced from £2.99 it made sense to try it and a friend recommend that I give it ago.

Maybelline color tattoo in Pink Gold: 

This colour is not something I would normally go for but I have been trying to wear things that are out of my comfort zone and it is a really pretty colour so I thing I will get some use out of it. I might use it as a base when I and using some of my brown shades but I'm not sure get will have fun with it though. 

Maybelline color tattoo in Permanent Taupe: 

Now this is a colour that I have been after for a while as it is a matte and something that I could put on which means that I don't have to worry about it being to shimmery. 

Maybelline Brow Drama in Dark Brown:

This is something that I hadn't really though about buying and the wand itself looks very strange but I am looking forward to seeing if it works. I am the first to admit that I don't really do much with my brows I will just leave them grow how they want. So I am hoping that it will work as I need to quick and easy brow product. 

Gosh Growth Mascara Review

If you read my last blog post you would no that I keep this mascara in my makeup for the days that I forget to put some on and you will also no that I am not a huge fan of this mascara. 

I do like the packaging of this mascara the black tube is nice and sleek, I also like that it clicks when it closes so that you know that it is properly closed. I also like the wand on this mascara and the brush is rubber which I like.

I got this mascara in a glossy box and I was excited to try it out as I have really short eye lashes, and it is branded as a growth mascara. Now I should mention that I didn't believe that this would make my eyelashes grow but I hoped it would give them length and volume. Now I should say that it did make my lashes appear long and as I side note I did wear it for 2 weeks and didn't see a difference in the length of my lashes. 

At first I liked this mascara it is a very black which made my lashes stand out and as I said they looked longer, however I did notice that if I wore this mascara that I would have black flakes under my eyes and on my cheeks which was disappointing as I had high hopes of this mascara. It says that it contains SymPeptide® XLash and lengthen and thickens lashes the reason that it lengthens and thickens lashes is because it has fibres in the formulae which is fine but that could also be the reason that it flakes. This is £8.49 at Superdrug and reading the reviews written about it I can say that they are mixed, some people can see results and others can't as with any makeup product it will react differently with different people but I would not buy the mascara and it flakes on me.

What's in My Make up Bag

 

In my make-up bag I should just refer to it as my lipstick bag and yes I have a huge obsession with lipstick it is my favourite make-up product and I have way more than I should. I also have a huge love for drug store make-up and I am the type of person that doesn't spend money unless she has too or when I really really need something. 

I have two high-end lipsticks and they are both from M.A.C both of which I got for Christmas this year and one for my birthday, my first M.A.C lipstick is a deep red-purple shade Rebel which I am in love with, it is by far one of my favour lipsticks that I own. My second M.A.C lipstick is in the colour Lady Danger which is a matte red with an orange undertone, which is a really summery colour but I am love where this as it give a amazing pop of colour.

Another lipstick I have is Rimmel Matte Kate lipstick in 107 which I my favourite deep matte red shade which I love to wear if I have a neutral eye and am looking to brighten my makeup but with a colour that will last awhile. Another Rimmel lipstick I have is in the shade Asia which was one of the first lipstick I bought and is one of my favourites and it has been my earlier morning lipstick for the past few weeks especially as I have my dyed my hair a red-purple colour so I really need a neutral lip and it isn't to much work to keep up during the day.

My next lipstick is my Revlon lipstick in the colour Black Cherry and if you haven't already guessed I love dark lip colour purely because I feel really confident when I wear them but I have the deep burgundy red colour of this lipstick and I love that you can deepen the colour depending on how many layers you put on which pleases me greatly as I really love purple lip colours.


Revlon Black Cherry


I also have two of the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains in the colour Romantic and Crush as they are great for a wash of colour that is easy to apply. These are really good for days where I don't want to wear a neutral lip but can't be bothered to wear a full on red or purple lip, so these are great and don't need to be topped up as regularly as a full on lip which is great of early starts and long Uni days.

The last really deep colour I have is from TopShop and it is there lipstick in Beguiled and this is a lipstick that I wanted since 2012 but only got around to buying in January and although I haven't worn this as much as I would like and love the colour and it is just a bit more red than Revlon Black Cherry 

 

TopShop Beguiled

The last lips colour in my makeup bag is an Avon lipstick in the colour Smitten Red and I love the finish to this lipstick as it has a slight shine but not enough to be over the top and makes the lips look amazing I also have to wear this more as I have to say I wear bright red more in Spring, Summer and Autumn however I do love this lipstick a lot and hope to wear a lot more in the hopefully warmer months.

I also have two lip balms which are a coca cola lip smacker in the flavour Strawberry and a Burt's Bees lip balm in Pomegranate and both of these are moisturising which surprised me with the lip smacker as I though it might be a bit of gimmick, but it is really nice. 

I also have a mascara from Gosh which is their Growth Mascara and to be honest I'm not a huge fan I got this in a Glossy Box and I only use it if I have forgot to put mascara on which can happen at 6am as I am still asleep doing my makeup.

The last thing I have in my makeup bag is Seventeen heavy duty under eye concealer in the shade fair now I am going to start out by saying that I don't use this as an under eye concealer as it far to thick for me but this is great for covering blemishes that my foundation doesn't cover as I have a cold it means that I need to reapply it round my nose a lot a the moment but also I find that being is Uni for 9am on a Monday means that I sometimes to reapply concealer or blend foundation in again with my fingers as it has normally rubbed off half way through my day which of course sucks but there isn't really much I can do about that is is also great to cover where my glasses have been sitting as they remove my makeup from the area of my face, which is annoying. That is all that a keep in my makeup bag so I hope you enjoyed reading this.
