Railway Station Nail Polish Haul

Hi everyone! Today's post is about a trip I made to Boots whilst waiting for my train to Leeds in King's Cross. I actually went to the St Pancras branch as it's much bigger with plenty of make up to choose from, and only 5 minutes' walk from King's Cross. I had some time to kill so sauntered on down to the make up aisle...

...and walked out with four new polishes to add to my collection! I started out at the Barry M stall and noticed the new confetti top coats were out and on offer as part of the wider make up buy one get one half price promotion.

It took me a long time to decide between the colours but eventually settled on Liquorice (black and white) and Bubblegum (blue and white). I think the black and white will be really easy to wear and could be layered over different colours to create a nice look. Bubblegum is definitely a summer top coat that I can't wait to wear (on weekends, I doubt work will approve!) 

Once I'd decided on the Liquorice top coat, I realised I didn't have a black polish with me and I really really wanted to try it out that weekend! So off I trotted to the Seventeen stand where I picked up a black polish and this pretty glitter/shimmer polish Navy Glint. I haven't tried polishes from Seventeen before so I'm intrigued to see what they'll be like!

You can get the Barry M Confetti top coats for £3.99, and the Seventeen Quicker Slicker Colours are £2.99 from Superdrug or Boots.

Lips and Nails - Boots haul

So I think we can all safely say that my May spending ban went a little bit down the pan... this is one of a couple of hauls I have coming up over the next few days to share my recent spends with you.

I popped down to Oxford Street one Friday after work to pick up some new Collection lipsticks after watching Emily's video (HERE) sharing her favourite lipsticks. Emily is a total style icon and beautiful gal - I've always wondered what lip products she uses because she never fails to look stunning, flawless and classic. So off I trotted with the intention of only picking up a couple of lipsticks...

Whilst in Boots I spotted the limited edition Maybelline Color Show top coats, which were on offer and buy one get one half price! Being the total nail obsessive I am, I couldn't resist popping three colours in my basket, plus an extra black and white as a gift for my secretary. Only £2.99 you can buy them in your local Boots store.

Here are the four Collection lipsticks I ended up purchasing, woops! Two were recommendations from Emily but the others were on off 2 for £5 and I couldn't resist!

I picked up two Volume Sensation formulas in Pretty Please & Cherry Pop, and two Lasting Colour formulas in Valentine & Mango Tango. I'm hoping to have some reviews up pretty soon, but if you can't wait that long then the Volume Sensation lipsticks are £2.99 each from Boots online HERE or in store, and the Lasting Colour lipsticks are £2.99 from Boots online HERE or in store.

Have you made any accidental drugstore purchases recently? What did you pick up?
