Boots Mini Haul | Beauty

Hello everyone!

The other day on a mini shopping trip I stumbled into Boots and found myself picking up a few makeup products. I'm a huge lover of the Collection 2000 brand, so that was my first port of call, and then I had a quick look at the Natural Collection brand and these are the three things I purchased.

Collection 2000, Volumising Mascara - Extra Volume, Waterproof £3.99
Natural Collection, Lash Lengthening Mascara Black, Waterproof £1.99
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfect Concealer, 2 Cool Medium £3.99
 I'm always on the hunt for a good mascara, and these two have so far proved to be good! I only buy waterproof mascaras, as I find that they last a lot longer than regular ones. The Collection 2000 one is pretty good for fuller lashes and though I already have pretty dense eyelashes, this made it look even better! The Natural Collection one made them a little longer, but not too noticeable, but for £1.99 I can't complain! Lastly I picked up the concealer from Collection 2000 and was pretty confused for a few minutes! They seem to have renamed all the shades for their foundations, powders and concealers. Thankfully, they numbers and tones are still the same! I used to have #2 Light, now it has become #2 Cool Medium. Exactly the same as my last one just a new name! This is the best concealer on the market in my opinion, and a lot of other beauty bloggers have said the same.

Hope you enjoyed my little haul from Boots and have a great day and keep safe :)

My First Lush Haul! | Beauty

Hello everyone!

I've not gone into a Lush store for well over 9-10 years now, and the one in my town is the size of my bedroom, so I don't really go near it! However, after seeing so many good reviews and products on the blogs over the last few months, I just had to go in. As the store is quite small, you can find things pretty quickly. I decided on a couple of bath ballistics, but will be going back again to get some bubble bars and other things! Since this is my first little lush haul, I thought I would share my two items with you!




I'm so happy with them both! I've yet to use either one, but I'm planning on using the Big Blue one sometime this week. I'm so bad with describing scents, so sorry in advance! The Big Blue smells sugary and like refreshers sweets all at once. It's not an overpowering smell, but I hope it will be nice to relax in! I found it very crumbly when I took the pictures, so a lot of it is on my bedroom floor! The Avobath ballistic is my favourite. It smells like love heart sweets, which I adore! I'm going to save this one for a long bath day just so I can relax in it for a long time.

I'll take some instagram pictures of them when I use them! Are there any Lush goodies you think I should give a try? Hope you're having a great day and keep safe :)

MUA Blusher Review | Beauty

Hello everyone!

If you remember back to January when I done my first box swap with my blogger friend Abbie, in this post, then you might remember that she sent me a MUA blusher. I finally got round to using it the other week and now can review it! Until Christmas I hadn't even heard of the MUA brand, but I love their eye shadows now after my friend Lauren bought me some.

This blusher is such a nice colour! It is the shade Bubble Gum. It is a rosy pink shade and when I tried it, I did find that you had to work a lot one before it showed up well. However, as I don't like my blushers to be too strong, a few swipes of this on my cheeks was just perfect!



The packaging is a simple flip lid, and the letters MUA are engraved into the blusher. Sorry the swatch isn't very clear, my camera wouldn't pick it up properly! I really like this and it isn't something I'd have picked out myself, so I'm glad Abbie included it into the box swap.

Hope you're having a great day, and keep safe :)

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush | Beauty

Hello everyone!

Yesterday on my little solo shopping trip, I stumbled (aka walked straight over to) the beauty section in Asda Living, and found a few of the Real Techniques brushes. As much as I wanted all five they had on offer, I decided on just the Expert Face brush for me to use with my liquid foundation. It was only £8.98, which I thought was pretty good considering I've seen it for £12 in other stores.




It's perfect for my foundation, so I'm really happy with this little purchase. The brush is so soft and really works the product onto you without trying to hard! I'd previously been using the Real Techniques Essential Foundation brush, but I wanted to try a different one! How many of the Real Technique brushes do you own, and any recommendations of their brushes would be appreciated! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
