SUPERDRUG HAUL

Hey, so today I have for you another haul post! Like my other one, I won't review them all on here as I plan on reviewing them in the future so I have time to test them out properly and give a full review rather than just first impressions. Anyway, onto the things I bought!




Apologies for the similar and quite boring photos, I'm stilling getting used to photographing stuff - even though I've had Instagram for over a year(?!)

Bourjois Happy Light Primer in Matte - Link
I bought this primer after having a bit of trouble with the longevity of my Studio Fix Fluid. It was £10.99 so at first I was a bit weary about buying something that maybe a bit pointless but I'm so happy I did; I love it!

Bourgois Color Edition Eye Shadow in 05 Prune Nocturne - Link
Superdrug were having a buy one get one half price offer on so I also bought this. These remind me of the Maybelline Colour Tattoos and since they've received rave reviews I thought I would give this ago. I haven't tried it yet but I plan very soon. First impression: pretty colour but ridiculously hard to get open.

Rimmel Scandeleyes Thick and Thin Liner in Black - Link
I was beginning to get bored of my usual liquid liner so I thought that I maybe felt tip would be better for me. I have used this product once since buying it and so far, I'm not too pleased. When wearing it, I started crying and I expected some slight smudging but no, this was all gone, none of it was on my eyelid but instead was half way down my face, I wasn't even crying that long either! The pigmentation isn't too good either as you have to draw the basic line first then go over it again to get a true black. I like the idea of the nib (is that the right word?) being able to be both thick and thin so I will have to give this another try.

Barry M nail varnish in 292 Navy - Link
I think everyone and their dog own and Barry M nail varnish and I am no exception. After buying my cousin Gabbie Essie's nail varnish in Aruba Blue for christmas, I wanted a similar colour for myself. I didn't want to spend £7.99 considering I'm not a massive nail varnish person - I bite my nails meaning my nails are forever a mess - and this colour seemed pretty similar so I got this instead. I've already worn it and I really do love it however it is quite a bit darker than Aruba Blue so I may have to keep my eye out for a perfect dupe.

Maybelline Colour Tattoos in On and On Bronze and Immortal Charcoal - Link
After seeing so many of these on both blogs and instagram, whilst Maybelline were doing a buy one get one half price offer (I love them!) I hopped on the bandwagon. I chose On and on bronze and Immortal charcoal as I figured I would get the most use out of them. On and on bronze would be perfect for adding extra depth to a brown smokey eye and I figured immortal charcoal would be good on nights out paired with lots of black eye shadow, eyeliner, false lashes and a nude lip!

Maybelline eye studio lasting drama gel eyeliner in 01 Black -  Link
I got this (also on offer) after being slightly disappointed with my Rimmel felt tip liner. It comes in a little pot with a separate brush however I think I will either use my RT fine liner brush or accent brush - both from the starter eye kit. I'm hoping to fall in love with this as I really am getting sick of using the classic liquid liner. 

Maybelline the Rocket Volum' Express Mascara in Black - Link
After loosing my They're Real! mascara, I've been on the hunt for a new mascara as my Natural Collection one just isn't doing it for me. I've heard great things about this one on instagram (I say that a lot!) so hopeful it will become my new go-to mascara.

MUA eye shadow palette in Undressed - Link
I've been lusting after the original Naked palette but at £37.00 its waaaay out of my price range. I have the Undressed Too palette (a brilliant Naked 2 dupe) from MUA too which I love so I got this one as well. At only £4.00 and the perfect colour match for Urban Decay's classic, these are extremely popular meaning these are normally sold out, well not today! (well yesterday but shush!)

So, that is the end of my haul post. I hope you enjoyed it! I'm starting to get in the habit of blogging now hopefully you will be seeing me (well reading) every other day! :) 

Oh, on another note: turns out we never reached the end of Breaking Bad. The DVD set e have only went half way through the fifth series meaning we have 8 more episodes to watch. Hey, I love this show so I'm not complaining!
