So I've recently I have purchased a fair few products from Boots and Superdrug which either I have never tried before, have owned previously or just really wanted to try and therefore I thought I'd do a post on what I bought and what I think of them all so far!
So firstly I bought these Clearasil Pads which I've been using for years and absolutely love, you basically rub them all over your face and then they do great things to your skin, these ones are for spots, they prevent them or kill them if you have any and I absolutely love them!
I also started to wear fake nails again so I thought should get some nail remover because I hate it when you have glue stuck on them so I wanted something really good to take them off with and despite the fact that this is cheap it's really good. I got this from Superdrug and it's one of their own products, it smells horrible but the product is really good.
I also decided to try out one of the MUA lipsticks because they're only £1 and you really cant go wrong with something that's only £1! I got this in the colour 'Wild Berry' because I don't have any dark colours that suit me and this one was not only cheap but nice looking. I can't decide if I like this or not because I find it quite drying unless I use some kind of lip butter or balm...
I also bought this nail polish which is Maybelline nail polish in the shade 'In Your Flesh' which is one of their new nude polishes and it is possibly my new favourite from Maybelline because I can wear it for school and get away with it there and I love painting/having painted nails so this is great because it means I can paint my nails more often!
Boots were having a 3 for 2 hence why I took full advantage of it and bought 3 Maybelline nail polishes, I also got the luminous yellow type shade which is called 'Electric Yellow' and I've used it twice already and I love it, loads of people don't like yellow nail polish but I really like it because I like bright colours loads recently.
And finally I got a florescent orange shade called 'Wow Orange' and I love it so much because orange is my favourite colour and as I said, I've been really getting into bright colours recently so this is just perfect, I haven't actually used this yet as it's very similar in colour to Barry M's Gelly Satsuma nail polish, I bought it because I thought this Maybelline one looked like it was a brighter colour but they're very similar so although I will use this I do have another one that's basically the same...
I also bought three Sinful Nail Polishes because I really wanted to try them out and they are so amazingly priced at only £1.99 each! Also they were part of Boots' 3 for 2 deal so I bought 3 colours which I've tried out and they're all really good!
So the first colour I bought was in the shade 'You Just Wait' which is really pretty, it's a really pale pink with a metallic kind of shine, it's really sheer so if you want a really noticeable colour you have to layer it but it's really pretty and such a cute, girly colour!
I also got a nail polish in the shade 'Pistache' which is a really nice dark mint green colour and it's so nice, if you've ever used the Model's Own polish in the shade 'Apple Pie' you'll know that's a pale mint green shade, this is just like a darker version which I prefer because I don't like having pale nails nearly as much as having dark nails.
The last colour I got is in the shade 'Cinderella' which not only do I love the name of but the colour is really pretty, it is this lovely pale blue shade and is full of glitter which looks so nice when on, it is actually quite a lot like the colour of Cinderella's dress at the ball in the film, it's gorgeous!
I also bought this moisturiser from Neutrogena because my mum got me the Grapefruit facewash a month or two ago so I decided to get the moisturiser and I've been using it for nearly 3 weeks and it is so nice, it's really gentle on my skin, it's light and smells amazing!! The only thing is, I think I might be allergic to it because it makes my eyes hurt quite a lot and go all puffy, it makes me really tired for some reason as well so I use it before I go to bed because it makes me fall asleep really easily.
I also purchased the Origins spot remover because lots of people have said that this product is truly excellent and I haven't actually used it yet as I haven't had any spots, I don't like the smell much and some people say that this is too expensive for what it is considering it's £14 however when you use it you really don't need much at all so really it lasts ages!
I wanted a new foundation so I decided to purchase this Rimmel 25 hour Lasting Finish foundation because I've never had a Rimmel foundation before and I hadn't really heard any reviews about it and I wanted a medium coverage foundation which I have heard this is so I gave it a try and it's really nice on, it's not at all cakey and feels really nice on my skin however if I put too much on it can go a bit orange.
I decided to buy a couple of Revlon lip butters because I've never tried them but heard they're amazing so I bought two and the first one is in the shade 'Honey Douce' which I have taken to wearing everyday almost for school because it's a bit darker than a natural lip colour however it looks natural still and it's really pretty.
I also bought it in the shade 'Tease Seductrice' which is this really nice orange shade which I am more likely to wear during a holiday because I think it'll look better with a tan/darker skin tone because although it doesn't look bad on me and I could happily wear it any day but I just think it'll look better with darker skin.
I also bought a couple of bath bombs because I used up all of mine so I went to Lush and got these two because I've never used them before wanted to give them a try. I haven't used either of these yet and I may do a review once I have but the first one I bought was the 'Honey Bee' which smells like Honey (obviously) and a bit citrusy.
The other one I bought was the 'Dragon's Egg' bath bomb which smells reeeeeally nice, it's a bit like lemon sherbet and because I love citrus scents this is amazeballs and everything.
The last thing I bought is this Maybelline Eye Colour tattoo in the shade 'Pink Gold' which is a really pretty pale pink colour with a gold shimmer, I like to sometimes use this as a base or sometime, more often for school I'll just wear this on my eyes with eyeliner and mascara because it looks quite natural and really pretty!
Thank you all for reading, I'm planning a huge fashion haul as well as a few reviews in the near future and maybe a 'products I've used up' tag blog post. I have also decided to not post my monthly favourites every month, I'm more likely to do them if I feel like it, if I've used enough new products and I'll be posting them at least every two-three months!
