Recent Purchases #2

This month was supposed to be limited spending, however a trip to Superdrug and Boots soon changed this mindset (but all purchases were necessary... of course).

1 -  Revlon Photoready Foundation in 'Shell' - My MAC Studio Fix Fluid was running very low so I was desperate for a new foundation that was a little cheaper. I already had Revlon Photoready as my 'going out' foundation in a darker colour, however I wanted an everyday lighter one so I thought I would try this in this colour. I'm not overly keen on the colour.. it matches my skin tone but is a little too glowy and light! It is fab for photos though so I am going to mix it with a darker foundation which brings me on to my next purchase...

2 - Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 'Soft Beige' - I didn't try this foundation for ages, despite the hype, as for some reason I had the impression that it was for those with perfect skin who wanted a light coverage foundation with a glow. My impression was somehow very very wrong, as I noticed when I made my sister get it (whom has lovely skin) and hence tried it out. It's actually a medium/full coverage and has such a nice consistency. I love it!

3 - Tresemme Restructuring Deep Conditioning Treatment Masque -  Superdrug have amazing deals on hair products at the moment, hence this and the next purchase. It was down to £2.45 from £5 and has a whopping 200ml of product in it! I don't currently own a hair masque and this says its for hair breakage and split ends which sounds absolutely perfect for my hair type.

4 - L'Oreal Paris Thermo Curling Spray - This is a heat protectant for use when you are to blow dry or curl your hair. They do ones for straightening too but as my hair is so naturally straight, I never straighten it, so I thought it was better to get the curling one. I needed a new heat protectant as my Tresemme and Avon ones had run out and this was a bargain, again on a 'better than half price' deal!

5 - L'Oreal Paris Glamshine Stain Splash in 'Juliet' - I have being eager to try out one of these stains for a while, so I picked it up in this pink/reddish shade. It is such a good stain: it literally stays on all day and is even present when eating and drinking. I definitely recommend!

6 - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - a repurchase that I do not really need to elaborate on. I got it in 'Fair' instead of 'Light' this time though, as my skin is at it's palest due to the absolutely shocking weather. However best concealer in Boots/Superdrug/'drugstores' for sure.

7 - Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in 'Sable Brown' - I love Rimmel's eye liners and I want to start wearing a brown eyeliner during the daytime as I feel black can be a little harsh.

8 - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - I heard good things about this powder and my face is rather oily so I thought, why not?
