Mini Boots Haul!

Eco-tools Buffing Brush £9.99
Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation £3.99
VO5 Give Me Texture Instant Oomph Powder
 and Tousled Style Spray 2 for £5

I didn't have too much money to spend, but I managed to get a few of the items from my shopping list post. I absolutely fell in love with this Collection 2000 foundation, I can't believe it's on offer for only £3.99!

I've decided that when my MaxFactor runs out I'm moving onto Bourjois Healthy Mix for my heavier coverage foundation. The texture is just so gorgeous and it blended so nicely when I swatched it on my wrist. I also tried the Revlon Colorstay foundation but for £12.49 I don't know if it's worth it, and I don't know if I exactly match either the 2nd or 3rd shade. I'd rather invest in MAC Face and Body that I can get matched to my skin tone and that will last a lot longer, but that won't be for awhile anyway.

I'm excited to have a buffing brush to add to my collection, hopefully it will give more even coverage than just a standard foundation brush, and Eco-Tools are pretty good quality for the price.


Boots had an offer on 2 V05 styling products for £5, so I decided on the Instant Oomph Powder and Tousled Style Spray to work with my naturally wavy hair. I also thought these products would be fun to try out with my new Remington Pearl Pro Styler - a little bit of an impulse buy from an old Fleur DeForce video but as it's half price on Amazon, how could I resist?

I hope you enjoyed my little haul, as always if you have any comments or questions you can leave them below, or chat to me on twitter!

Beauty Shopping List!

I'm going on a mini shopping spree with my Mum on Saturday, yes this is a huge deal because she hates shopping centres with a passion so getting her to come with me is a rare event - I'm bribing her with Nando's!

I'll be calling into Boots and Superdrug to look at some things, so I thought I'd make a list here of all the stuff I want to get but don't want to risk ordering them online.

1. New Foundation

Don't worry, I'm still sticking with my old faithful MaxFactor, but I want to test out a few more and see if they could be possible alternatives when I don't fancy a full matte face. The choices I'm looking at are Maybelline Superstay 24 hour, Bourjois Healthy Mix, Rimmel Wake Me Up and Revlon ColorStay.




2. VO5 Hair Products

I borrowed my lovely best friend Lindsay's VO5 Instant Oomph Powder when my hair just wouldn't behave the other week, and it really worked so I'm going to stock up on some of their products that been raved about, like the Hot Oil Shower treatment or the Tousled Style spray.



3. Collection 2000 treats

I'm in love with my Collection 2000 lipsticks so I'm going to see if there's any other colours I fancy, and my Mum needs a new kohl eyeliner.



4. A Fake Orgasm?!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist! I've heard that Sleek blush in Rose Gold is a pretty good dupe for Nars Orgasm, and seeing as that is so far out of my price range right now, I thought I'd give the cheaper alternative a try!


If I ended up buying anything that's good I'll obviously talk about it on here.
If you've tried any of these products and want to give me your opinion that would be awesome, you can leave a comment below or chat to me on twitter!
