Drugstore Haul

Hello beautiful people;

"White female, addicted to retail"

GAHH. I really need to be stopped!! I do too many of these, agreed? Yeah please let me know in the comments if you enjoy seeing all these drugstore hauls :)

Finally I've been able to get my hands on some things from the new MUA sister brand Makeup Revolution London. Now, like MUA it is sold in just Superdrug stores and online BUT it's quite difficult to get hold of as of yet.

If you want to see if there's a stand near you then you can do so here 

All together I spent £13.99 which for what I got is an amazing price, below is a list of what I got and how much each item cost.

MUA Nail Varnish in Leapfrog - £1

MR Redemption Palette Iconic 3 - £4 

MR Lipstick in The One - £1

MR Matt Lipstick in Dare - £1

MR The Matte Effect Foundation in Natural - £2

MR The Matte Effect Foundation in Cocoa - £2

MR Blush in Now! - £1

HAUL TIME !!

Hello beautiful people;

It's official, I cannot stop buying things!! But now I seem to be saying "Francesca you need things to blog about now, so this is completely acceptable", I am right in thinking that aren't I?

YouTube is my biggest downfall, I see someone use something and I just HAVE to own it. Plus my staff discount makes things so much easier to justify!

Lets get onto the haul then!

I took a little trip to Birmingham & as expected I found myself in Debenhams trying to spend my money, I had a browse around Chanel, YSL and Benefit but nothing caught my eye so I practically sprinted to Urban Decay. On the front counter I saw some beautiful red labels with the word SALE on them. Well didn't my little heart go mad!

I ended up just coming away with one item as I already own most of what is in the sale and that is one of the 24/7 eye shadow pencil's in Clash, a beautiful vibrant sky blue shade. These eye shadow pencils are in the process of being discontinued so they're only £9.80 at the moment! I love them because they're basically a chubby 24/7 liner!!

I also re-purchased a handbag sized All Nighter setting spray which is by far the best setting spray I've ever used, the full size is £20 and the handbag size is a mere £9!! It's worth trying out for just £9! Whilst stood at the till I spotted a handbag sized b6 complexion spray. In a nutshell it reduces redness and pore size, plus helps to absorb oil. I will be doing a full review soon!

The next day I had a little stroll into the town where I live in look for some new skincare, I kind of had in mind what I wanted so I took myself to lush! I wasn't a huge fan of Lush but my lord these two products have converted me! I pick up the Oatifix face mask to hydrate my skin and the Angels on Bare Skin cleanser/exfoliant. They both smell divine, Oatifix smells like flapjack!! 

Must haves for dry skin sufferers! 

Again, I couldn't help myself but to have a browse in Debs and strangely I found myself at the Lancome counter. I ended up purchasing another sale item which is the Flash Bronzer, it's a gradual tanning gel for your face! I'm yet to try this so keep your eyes peeled for a review coming soon!

On the way home I "accidentally" passed Space NK and naturally I couldn't resist a peek at the Nars counter, and yes I went home with one of their Radiant Creamy Concealers in Custard (god I love that name!!).

Have you tried any of these products before?

Thank you for reading!

MAC Haul

Hello beautiful people;

Today I was a bit naughty and I treated myself to 4 MAC items when visiting Merry Hill.

2 of the items were on my weekly wishlist, 1 is something I ALWAYS buy and the last was something that I'd tried and tested and needed to own !!

Disclaimer.

Fortunately, I do work for Debenhams so I am lucky enough to get 20% off MAC and I purchased everything with my own money. Make Up is my passion and I work hard for what I own. The prices below are before any discount is applied.

The items I purchased are (left to right, top to bottom):

MAC face and body foundation in N2 £21.50

MAC lipglass in Myth £14

MAC travel size fix+ £8

MAC amplified lipstick in Morange £15

For me this is a very small haul and half of the items I did actually need. The lip products are two things I've wanted to add to my collection for a long time.

The items I have purchased are definitely going to be some of my most used products this summer, the colours are perfect and the face & body foundation is the right consistency for summer.

I am so surprised at how little I purchased as I have a list of MAC items to buy the length of my arm!

Have you tried any of these products?

Or do you have any Summer products you think I should try?

Thank you for reading !!
