Mini beauty haul





 
 
 
Hello everyone!

Today I was in town for the first time in quite a while and needed to pick up a few things. Superdrug had a few offers on and like most people I find it nearly impossible to just ignore them and ended up purchasing a few extra things too. Naughty!

Firstly I was heading over to the Maybelline counter to pick up my usual “the falsies” mascara when a sales assistant came over to me. I would just like to point out that I don’t think this has ever happened to me in Superdrug. It caught me off guard a bit and possibly lead to me buying what I did. She told me about the new Rimmel scandal eyes rockin’ curves mascara. I hadn’t heard anything about this mascara before but the wand intrigued me. Rimmel had a 3 for 2 offer on which was just too tempting so I thought I’d pick it up and give it a try. I’ll let you know how I get on with it.

 
While I was at Rimmel, I also picked up the soft colour blush in Pink Rose. My relationship with blush has faltered a little bit lately but this one looked subtle enough to just give you a natural flush without looking too much. I think it’s going to be a nice way to re-kindle my love with blush.

The last thing I got from Rimmel was the lasting finish Kate moss lipstick in 01. My friend has the matte version of this lipstick and it always looks gorgeous but I felt that I would prefer this version, as it looks a little less daunting. It is a very vampy, berry colour that I think it will be great for the last little slice of winter. (may be slightly optimistic)

I then had a little wonder round the skin care aisle and spotted a coupe of items that I really wanted to try. The first one was the Garnier micellar cleansing water. The first thing that caught my eye was the sheer size of the bottle. It was 400ml for £4.99, which I thought, was a total bargain. I’ve never actually tried Bioderma but this looks like the same type of product and I've heard nothing but good things about that. While I’m happy with my current cleanser I thought this would be nice to use to take of my makeup before cleansing. I’ve also been finding my skin quite sensitive lately and this is hypoallergenic so I’m very excited to try it.

 
The last think I purchased was pretty much the only item I went into Superdrug for in the first place. This is the Nivea Q10 anti-wrinkle night cream. I’ve been neglecting my night cream lately and have been increasingly paranoid about signs of ageing. I’m hoping that this will stop me from turning into a wrinkly prune. I’ve used night creams from Nivea before and always really enjoyed using them. I’m looking forward to using this tonight.

So that’s everything I got today. Don’t think there was any serious damage but I’m very pleased with what I got. I’ll keep you posted on how I get on with them once I’ve tried them out a little bit.
