Boots Haul - April 2015

Apparently I was feeling rather spendy today.

I found myself at boots browsing the Benefit counter and decided to pick up the 'Rockateur' Blusher. I've had my eye on this blusher for a while now. I don't own anything like this. I don't love the packaging but the product inside is gorgeous. When you first open the packaging it's covered in pink holograhpic glitter. After one use this is gone and your left with a dusky rose blush with a hint of brown to it. It gives a natural colour to the face and I think it would suit a lot of different skin tones. It has a nice inner glow look to it too which I love with blushers.

As I'd already fulfilled part of my forever growing wish list I thought I may as well add some more, much lusted after products to my basket. In went Soap and Glory's 'Solar Powder' and 'DIY Brow Bar.'
The brow kit contains a brown and blonde powder, a wax and an under arch highlight. I haven't given this product a proper road test yet, so keep an eye out for a full review!
The 'solar powder' is a beautiful bronzer with two shades. With summer on it's way I wanted to brighten my look up and add a sun kissed glow to the skin. I'm yet to try this out yet either but I've heard great things from other blogs about it, so I'm excited to give this a try as it doesn't look too dark or too orange.

Barry M have got some gorgeous new shades in their 'speedy' range. I brought two shades on a previous jaunt in 'In a Heart Beat' a beautiful toned down neon pink, 'Road Rage' a dupe for Essie - Mint Candy Apple and 'Eat My Dust' a gorgeous pastel purple/blue. I didn't find they dry any quicker than their standard polishes...but the colours are gorgeous and ready for spring in a range of gorgeous pastels.

Lastly I brought the Garnier Micellar cleansing water. I've heard a few things about this and was running low on my normal cleanser. I'm excited to try this to use this as a first cleanse to get rid of my make up before doing a proper cleanse. I always find eye make up the worse to remove and this claims to remove really easily.

Have you brought anything recently from Boot's or the drugstore?
Any recommendations?



Blushers | Part 1

Cute polka dot packaging
In this mini series I want to write and review all of my blushers. I hands down LOVE blushers. I don't own anything overly high end because I think there are some great high street finds out there! However I'm always lusting over Benefit 'box o blushers', but can't bring myself round to paying £23 for a cardboard box? Anyway....

Today I'm going to be talking about the brand Topshop beauty.

I currently own two blushers from their collection and I have to say I'm more than impressed!

Firstly the packaging is cute and compact with white spots all over the top, and a nice rounded shape. As well as a small mirror on the inside and 4 grams worth of product.

Left - 'Dream Phone'
Right - 'Do It Again'
The first one is 'Do It Again' which is a shimmery peach colour, almost looks like a dupe for Benefits 'Coralista' it brings a beautiful natural glow to the skin without making you look like a tomato if you apply this too heavily!

The second one is 'Dream Phone' which is a beautiful plum shade. Again this has a small amount of shimmer and is incredibly high pigment, so only a light hand is needed here! The colour looks flattering and healthy and has pretty good staying power!

There are plenty more colours I want to add to my collection, and for £7 a pop I can't see why I can't have them all! I also want to add the 'glow' highlighter to my collection as well as a few Topshop lipsticks!


Have you ever tried anything from the Topshop beauty range?
