Small haul from Boots!

This week I've been staying at my boyfriend's house and he had to get some holiday stuff so we got to go to boots!




There's a few things I knew I wanted to pick up before going:

- Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in Ivory. 


I'm currently using MAC's studio fix fluid in NC15 but I thought I'd pick up something not as heavy. Although it is a great foundation I think I'll use it for a night out rather than everyday to give my skin a break. I've noticed from using it everyday my skin has broken out a bit. However, saying that it does give good coverage from using just a pump and a half for the whole face. 

A reason why I love the 'Wake Me Up Foundation' is because it also gives great coverage and lasts quite a long time when set with powder. I really like the packaging, being in a glass bottle I think makes it look more expensive. When applied it gives a bit of a shimmer, giving you a radiant glow. I also like that it has SPF 15 in it, especially with the weather we're having at the minute! Buying it from boots was £8.99 which I think was definitely worth it as it lasts for quite a long time. 





- Collection Lasting Perfection - Ultimate Wear Concealer in Light.

I'd ran out of concealer and had purchased this concealer before, I had got into it after watching Zoella's videos where she raved about it. Check out her videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 The concealer does the job and is priced at: £4.19 in Boots. It covers up any imperfections and gives a great coverage. 




- Maybelline's Colour 24hr Tattoos- Gel/Cream Eyeshadow.

 Recently I've heard a lot about Maybelline's Colour 24hr tattoos so wanted to try them out! For the days I don't have much time to get ready these seem perfect just to quickly apply to give a pop of colour. When I went into boots I only picked up Pink Gold, however when we went to a different drug store shop later in the day I also ended up picking up Permanent Taupe. I haven't decided yet whether I'd use Permanent Taupe on a day to day basis or whether I'd use it for a night out. Both colours I think are really pretty so I'm looking forwards to using them a lot more! I have already tried out Pink Gold and liked how it easy it was to apply and how creamy it was. 

Price - £4.99.

Pink Gold.

I've been buying quite a few lipsticks over the last few months, but when buying them they've usually been for a day to day look. However I wanted to get a red which I could wear in the day as well as at night time. I ended up picking up a lipstick from the Maybelline stand in Neon Red - 916. I love the shade and have found when applied it has a slight tint of orange. I'm looking forward to wearing this shade for the days when I want to be a bit more daring! 


Price: £7.19.


I've always heard good things about No7 mascaras so I thought I'd try one out. The one I picked up is called 'Extravagant Volume' I got it in black and its the waterproof version. It wasn't intentional to get the waterproof version, it happened it was the only one left. I've used it a few times already and found its easy to apply to the lashes and it coats every lash from root to tip. I've found it also gives the lashes a good amount of volume. I'm still undecided whether I'd repurchase it as it's quite expensive and there are other good mascaras for a cheaper price. 



Price: £12.00.
