So here I am with a drugstore (or highstreet, whatever you like to call it) makeup haul. I have decided I really need to stop buying makeup for a while after this shopping trip happened! Oooo and by the way I can get lazy with blog photos so I am trying to be better, hope these are okay! When I have more time (weekends/holidays) I might edit the photos just to make it clearer what Im talking about! For now this will do because I really wanted to upload it but with just going back to school I am very busy with GCSE stuff - and this is only the start!
Anyway beginning with the haul...
Above is everything I purchased, this was mostly one trip but a few odd things weren't.
So here we have cheek/face powders.
On the left there is the beautyuk baked blush in Shade 3-HALO , it isn't that pigmented but it gives a nice glow to my cheeks, nothing too striking!
At the top is the MUA Shimmer Kisses Bronzer, its not to pigmented, it smells of play-doh though! It only gives a subtle glow and I stick to keeping it on the cheeks.
To the right is the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer (has some fancy name but I can't remember it off the top of my head) in 51, boy am I impressed...this is rare for a bronzer but people think its a real tan! its far from orange and is said to have golden flecks in but its pretty much matte. Im more of a blusher kinda gal but I adore this baby! IN LOVE
Finally the Natural Collection blusher in Peach Melba, everybody loves this stuff...just a lovely cheap pigmented peachy natural blusher! how fab?!?
Eyes!! So in love with everything here especially the SEVENTEEN doll'd up mascara because it was fairly cheap yet its fabulous, would compare it to the Max Factor Clump Defy Mascara. It has a plastic curved wand which Im fine about but I know not everyone would be!
To the left is the Revlon Colour-Stay Quad in Addictive, I was originally looking for a different quad but I couldn't find it so I just went for this, I like it because its very much everyday, I love it for school and its very pigmented. With my MUA eyelid primer it lasts basically forever.
Then finally on the right is the Revlon Colour-Stay Smokey Shadow Stick, I remember when these came out and I was younger I really wanted one but because I was only young I probably would of gone for an awful shade and I wouldn't know how to use it! Also it would be all my pocket money so im glad I waited! Anyway I love both shades in this and it looks like you have spent ages on your eyes with this but really its great for a rush! My shade is Torch.
Bits and bobs... how pro of me with that huge finger print in the middle of the strawberry lip balm. I got that from marks and spencers because I was just trying to get rid of change (It feels so good when you have spent like all your 20ps and 10ps!) I can't find it on the internet but I think it was £2 or maybe £2.50...I don't find it that moisturising but it smells nice!!
Onto things that smell nice...The Body Shop White Musk Libertine perfume, I don't quite understand why but it has Leona Lewis's signature on it...maybe she designed the packaging or something (that was made up) but this isn't the best smelling perfume ever but I like it because its not normally the kind of smell I would go for...I am a fan or sweet/fruity/fresh smells but this is quite heavy! I only got the 30ml and I'm glad because I like to try lots of scents. Also it was £5.50 in the sale when I got it!!

Face stuff... I will explain the eyeshadow! Basically it looks a lot darker in this picture but I got it for my eyebrows but its too dark even though my eyebrows are pretty dark for blonde hair! One day I will find the perfect shade! It is MUA shade 19.It was £1

Next is the MUA powder, I know I have better ones (RIMMEL STAY MATTE - OF COURSE) but I wanted one with a click on lid, and dirt cheap because I know it will get wrecked for school. This does the job and takes the shine off my face in the middle of the day! It was a bargain at £1 and I got shade 2 because I thought shade 1 looked to light (shocked face, never happened before) It does give slightly powdery finish but I get so shiny you cant tell & its school so I look a mess anyway!

And finally the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in 100 Ivory, I have wanted this purely because everyone has it but I don't love it... but that's for my skin. I can understand why people love it so much! Firstly its too dark and I'm pretty sure 100 is the lightest shade (well it was that I could see) and I have oily skin so they possible wasn't the best choice but I always go for ones for dry/normal skin because people rave about them...anyway what I am trying to say is I knew it wouldn't really suit my skin type but I bought it because I can't control myself. Also I don't think it has enough coverage for my highly spotty face. It was £8.99 from Boots.

Last but defo not least... LIPS! I adore lips products, so I shall go from left to right with these babies (just realised that goes well with the fact three are baby lips) Anyway Left is Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Crème 415 Pink in the Afternoon. WOW is all I can say, this is so creamy yet so pigmented and its the perfect nude for me, the photo isn't really doing it justice but I can't wear super nude, nudes but this is slightly pinky so me likey. The packaging makes me feel classy and I like it for school/everyday wear. It was £7.49 from Boots.
BABY LIPS... basically I love these. End of. I have Peach Kiss and Cherry Me from the original line and can I just stop to say how amazing these smell, Cherry Me is a very sheer red colour that is nice for school as something a bit different (smells like Cherry Ice-Breakers Sours and they remind me of holiday so that's nice) and Peach Kiss is a shimmery sheer nude colour, it basically just adds a bit of shimmer to your lips (It smells like sweets and holidays and all things nice) I got those in America although you can buy them in England now!

Then from the Electric Line thannng.. I have Pink Shock which I ADORE, these cant be bought in the UK but they better be asap because I find them more moisturising and more pigmented and I love the colour so much, I was originally hoping to get Strike a Rose but that was nowhere to be seen in Walmart! I also picked one up for Amy because we need all these things!
That was all I bought, I hope that wasn't too long to read because it seems to take forever to put together. I like reading about that kind of thing though, so I hope you enjoy and thank you if you made it to this bit!
