Spring is here!
So, apologies in advance for the quality of the pictures used in today's post.. Apparently losing your camera charger is just as annoying as losing your actual camera (but a bit less expensive of course.)
And, with my stubbornness making it impossible for me to go out and buy a new one as I know I have it somewhere.. All my of today's pictures are taken using my IPhone 5s.
Recently, I've found myself running out of the basics so not too long ago I had a bit of a mini Superdrug cosmetics haul so I thought I'd show you my findings!
LIPSTICK:
This lipstick. Wow. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a good matte lipstick is all a girl needs in life! I am literally always on the hunt for more and more matte and when I first saw this collection come out, I was instantly drawn to it because of the pigmentation of it and, well, Eva Longoria on the adverts.
It applies super easily and is extremely moisturising which is always a godsend for fellow matte lipstick wearers.
LIP BALM:
Although this technically from Superdrug.. Following on nicely from my last item, lipbalm is something that has become increasingly necessary in my life after alllll the matte lipstick I wear sucks up all of the hydration in my poor lips! My mum actually brought this little lovely back from her trip to LA as a gift from my lovely brother (thanks Adam!) This actually came in a pack of 3 which I've linked the nearest I could find.
I absolutely love this EOS lipbalm saw they smell, literally incredible, look awesome and do the job nicely! Bit of an all rounder really!
CONCEALER:
So I will admit, I'm a bit of a concealer virgin.. I don't usually use it but you, will, NOT believe how long it took me to find a concealer that was my skin tone. I was honestly in Superdrug for about half an hour looking for something - I even had the also tanned lady behind the till helping me search up and down. I don't know if this was just because it was a small branch but surely it can't be that much of a task?! Either way, I eventually had to settle with.. Yep. Miss Sporty!
I haven't used this brand since I first started wearing make up I don't think but, fair play to them! They had a good little concealer in a colour other than ivory with some damn good coverage! I bloody applaud you guys, thank you! Does any other tanned beauties have this issue? Or is it just my poor location? Do let me know!
NAILS:
This is a pretty simple one really, I needed me some white nails so my go to nail varnish is always
Barry M. I know you see all of these bloggers with their collections of about a million Barry M's but they're just so damn cheap and amazing quality. I tend to stick with the Gelly Nail Paint as I find it's durability and finish is one of the best! (Please note: I can't paint nails for S%!t, sorry!)
SKIN:
Lastly, it's my Simple cleansing water. This caught my eye as it was on offer for £1.99 so I thought I'd try it out. I remember using their make up wipes a couple of years ago and loving them, but I'm not the greatest fan of wipes now so thought I'd give this a go and wasn't disappointed. It's odd because I feel make up removers/ clensears are really hard to get right but this seems like a very ordinary and affordable purchase. It removed all my make up, making my skin feel clean.. But it's nothing I'd rave about. It's just a nice little cheap cleanser.. "Simple" does what it says on the tin. I liked it, but it's nothing I'd swap my Estée Lauder remover for!
So that's pretty much it on my mini Superdrug haul.. I have been extremely naughy recently clothes wise.. So keep your eyes peeled for a Primark haul soon!
