Superdrug Haul

Hi guys! Another haul post because my spending has been out of control! I really need to reign in my spending and I'm hoping to start up my SAVE don't SPEND series in October and regularly keep a spending diary. But until then, on with the show!

As you can see this was a bit of a random splurge! A couple of things that I actually 'needed' and then some extra indulgences.. as per usual.

I plan on dedicating a whole post to this, but to cut a long story short I have some marks on my face that I want rid of and I picked up this B. Even Skintone Corrector in the hopes that it would do just that! This was £9.99 HERE.

Since moving in with my boyfriend I haven't really spent very much time pampering and relaxing - I made a decision to change this and invested in some face masks to start me off! I really like Superdrug's face mask range as they are all cruelty free, very reasonably priced and I often get two uses out of one sachet. These were 99p each HERE.

Since I went blonde (full post on this coming soon I promise!) I have been using silver toning shampoo regularly to keep the brassiness out of my hair. It's quite bad for my hair and tends to make it dry so I popped some VO5 hot oil treatments into my basket to use after I've washed the silver shampoo out. I've been doing this for a few weeks and it's already making the world of difference. These were two for £7 but are usually £4.29 for four HERE.

And of course no Superdrug or Boots haul would be complete without me adding some new nail polishes to my collection! I have been hankering after Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Lychee for months so it's no surprise I now own it! I have also wanted to try the red Gelly Hi Shine and since these were on offer (although I can't remember what offer) I persuaded myself to buy them. These aren't online but are available in your local Boots or Superdrug.

Do you always end up with more than you'd gone in for at Superdrug? Let me know what you've been buying in the Comments.

Impromptu Superdrug Haul - feat Sleek,and Revlon

Hi guys! Today's post is about a few products I picked up on an impromptu trip to Superdrug a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't having the best day and I needed a lunchtime pick-me-up so I headed straight for the make up aisle...

I had my eye on the Sleek Face Form palette for a month or so before I caved and bought it - it's one of those beautiful products that looks amazing on blogs and even better in real life! I also picked up one of the new Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede lipsticks, and a Super Lustrous Liptick too (hooray for 3 for the price of 2 offers!)

The colours I picked up from Revlon were Designer and Lovers Coral. I had my eye on Designer from the first time I saw the new Colorstay Ultimate Suede collection, it's a pretty coral/red shade that just stands out from the rest. Lover's Coral is a subtle pink that looks amazing swatched so I'm excited to try it on the lips!

This is the Sleek palette - untouched and absolutely stunning. You get a bronzer (probably too dark for me), a highlighter (which looks amazing) and the best part - the beautiful rose gold shimmer blush. It's apparently a dupe for Nars Orgasm and I love it! So excited to try this.

What do you think of my buys? Have you made any pick me up purchases recently?

Superdrug Spring Haul - feat. Palmer's, Barry M & more!

Before I started on my May spending ban, I popped into Superdrug and ended up picking out quite a few products! I managed to justify this to myself as almost everything I bought was on offer, and some of the items are already staples in my daily routine. After popping in to pick up the Palmer's Moisturising Body Oil I left with a much lighter purse, oops!

I am a massive fan of the Palmer's Cocoa Butter and have been using it religiously for years. When I was perusing the Superdrug website and spotted a body oil by Palmer's, I knew I had to have it! As Palmer's products were on offer at the time (3 for the price of 2) I bought two oils and one gradual tanner, as recommended by a number of beauty bloggers! The oil is £5.09 from Superdrug HERE, and the gradual tanner is £5.35 HERE.

I haven't tried anything by NYC before but when I saw these Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms I just couldn't resist popping them in my basket, especially as they were on two for £3 at the time! They retail for £2.49 each and you can get them from Superdrug HERE and HERE.

The new Barry M Nail Art Pens were going to wind up in my collection at some point, so I bought them sooner rather than later and they were 3 for the price of 2! They're £4.99 each and as you can see, I bought every colour except pink! HERE

Finally I picked up the Collection Cream Puff lip cream in shade Fairy Cake. I had been trying to track down this product for weeks when I spotted it in the Superdrug close to where my Mum lives, so I snapped it up! I'm excited to try this hyped up lip cream, which retails for £2.99. You can buy it in store at Superdrug or online from Boots HERE.

Have you bought any beauty bits recently? Which is your favourite of my purchases?

Accidental Superdrug Haul - feat Rimmel & MUA

Wow, another haul post, how original. What can I say, I've been haulin' a lot lately! When I was back home for a week of R&R with my family I ended up spending money quite thoughtlessly, justifying it each time by telling myself "this is my holiday this year, it's cheaper than going abroad". I'm not so sure about that now I've surveyed the damage to my credit card, but still. Here's a small haul that resulted from a random stop at Superdrug..

I picked up two MUA items, despite vowing never to give them my money again. I would say that I'm weak-willed, but I'm not (being vegan requires a strong will!) I'm just a sucker for a promotional offer! The MUA Undress Me Too eyeshadow palette was on offer for £3, and the MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation was on offer for £3 (HERE). Stay tuned for reviews. You can buy these products online via MUA (HERE and HERE) or instore at Superdrug.

I also picked up these three Rimmel nail varnishes - now, I know what you're thinking: more nail varnish?! I really do not need any more polishes to add to my collection, but I really wanted to get the Blue Eyed Girl polish after spying it on someone's nails, and I love the Precious Stones I got for my birthday (Diamond Dust - post HERE) and wanted to try the red one too!

These are the shades I picked up - the Cocktail Colour polish in Hawaiian Punch was a total random impulse buy, as they were on 3 for the price of 2 I had to get another item to get the offer.  The Cocktail Colour is available for £3.99 (HERE), the Precious Stones is £3.99 (HERE) and the 60 seconds is £3.69 (HERE).

Collective Beauty Haul - TK Maxx & Superdrug

Well I'm going to have to say it. I am officially off my spending ban. Not in a 'yay I managed not to spend anything for 100 days!' way, but in a 'I am a total failure and couldn't do it' way. Woe is me. I have been spending little bits here and there for a few weeks now and have decided I have to stop kidding myself I'm still on my spending ban. Instead I'm hoping to do a month's spending ban in April.. we'll see how that goes. Anyway, a week or so ago I popped into TK Maxx and Superdrug   & picked up some bargain beauty buys...

First up, Superdrug. As a huge Barry M fan I had been itching to try out the new textured nail polishes since they first made an appearance on the blogosphere a couple of weeks ago. I picked up Atlantic Road.

I also picked up the Gelly Hi Shine polish from Barry M in shade Green Berry, which looks perfect for Spring!

And my final purchase was a GOSH lipstick in shade Exotic. I have never tried anything from GOSH before and this was a total impulse purchase, made primarily because they had £2 off these lipsticks in Superdrug!

The Barry M polishes are two for £6 (Gelly HERE and textured HERE) and the GOSH lipstick is £4.49 down from £6.49 HERE.

Next - TK Maxx. I don't have much luck when I usually call into my local TK Maxx, so when I was in Putney a couple of weeks ago I headed into their branch to see if I could find any beauty bargains. The first thing that caught my eye was this Andrea Fullerton glitter nail set.

At only £3.99 and with such gorgeous colours I thought it was worth picking up to try. I think these glitters will look beautiful as an accent nail look.

I then spotted this pack of 3 items from the Dainty Doll range for a ridiculous £4.99! I have always wanted to try this range as I have very pale skin and find it intriguing that another fair skinned girlie (Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud fame) decided to make her own brand specifically to cater for people like me!

These items are usually quite expensive when sold at full RRP in places like Boots, so I was chuffed to bits to get an eyeshadow base, a blush and a lipstick for £4.99!

The packaging is beautiful and makes me really excited to try out the products themselves. I got a lipstick in shade 001 Couture, an eyeshadow base in Frankie's Girl and a blush in 003 Money Talks.

Stay tuned for full reviews of all products!
