Mini Superdrug haul.

Today I popped into my local Superdrug in the hopes of finding the new MUA Blushes. Normally it takes a while for new products to hit our tiny town, it's a little behind the times to say the least! Nevertheless, they actually had them in stock, score!

Due to the fact the 3 for 2 deal is still on for all make-up, I decided to pick up the 3 blushes which will most suit my pale skin. I ended up getting Cupcake, Lolly and Candyfloss. Most of the blushes are matte, which is perfect as if I'm going for the shimmery look, I'd rather add it myself.

Cupcake is described as good for pale skin (ideal for me) and is a dusty muted natural pink.

Lolly is a light coral orange/peach colour and suits more sun kissed skin tones (lets hope the sun makes an appearance!)

Finally Candyfloss, this is the most vibrant one I bought, it's a light pink rose colour, has a very fine shimmer layer and is designed for pale/medium skin.

Now for the best part, the pictures!

 As I've yet to wear these, there's no point in fully reviewing them, but from having swatched them, I can already tell they're very soft and easy to blend, they feel nice, and the colour translates beautifully from palette to skin.

I also bought myself a new pair of eyelash curlers, I thought these ones from Revlon, albeit tacky, were also so cute (I love purple!).  As I already have a pair of Revlon lash curlers, I know these are trust worthy and work well from my lashes. I think I'm going to deep clean my other pair and put them in my professional kit!

Have a great weekend!

Topshop Sandstorm Eye Crayons

This will only be a quick post, because its 9.15pm and I will be off to bed in 45 mins!  Gotta love an early start right?!

So, Topshop launched their own makeup range last summer, and whilst I was very impressed with the items, I never found anything that I thought "Wow, I must have that!".  Until the other week!  I had spotted the crayons in the Sandstorm collection on the website, and when I went to check them out instore I was amazed at the quality of them.  There are 2 colours, Zephyr - a dark grey shimmer and Equinox - a light gold shimmer.  Both crayons retail at £8.50,  and I'm loving using them as bases for my eyeshadows. 

I still apply my primer underneath, and combined the staying power is amazing!  Working in a hot kitchen is a fairly good test for my makeup, but over the past week or two the fans have been broken, making it even hotter, and when I come home and my eye makeup is still intact, that's when I know I've found a winner!

If you haven't already get down to your nearest Topshop and check them out for yourselves!

Some new products I have tried...

Over the past few weeks I have bought some new cosmetic products, some I love, and some I hate. Rather than writing one MASSIVE long blog about all of the products I've broken them down into a few smaller blog reviews. Enjoy and let me know if you have tried any of the products!

5 Most wanted Lush products update!

In my last blog post I listed the 5 Lush products I most want to try, well already I'm needing to compile a new list!!! I visited a Lush store with my sister on Sunday, and I managed to pick up, either the product itself or a generous sample, as a result the R&B hair moisturiser is the only one i have yet to try!!!

As I have yet to use my Ceridwyn's Cauldron I can't really review that, I am however planning a rose inspired bath cocktail tonight, so i may update on that later tonight!!

The first item I was keen to try was the Grass Shower Gel - well well well, I just got back from my second trip to lush in as many days and I picked up another sample of this beaut! its AMAZING, it lathers great (using my loofah) and its the type of lather that sticks to your skin, it also smells amazing, it doesn't linger on your skin but its very refreshing in the morning. The sample I got I have used twice and I still have enough for one more shower out of it, so a little goes a long way, I have vowed to eventually buy a full size bottle!!!

Another item I was desperate to try was the Crème Anglaise moisturiser, this is Lush's most expensive single product, and as i stated in my previous post, one I'm unlikely to ever own a full sized tub of! The Sample is suiting me just fine though, again a little goes a long way, and it smells fantastic, its also a smell that lingers, so you can guarantee hours later you will still be able to smell it!!

Finally the last product I sampled was the American Cream conditioner, the smell isn't one of my favourite, however its by no means unpleasant, with the sample, it wasn't enough for me to get a real idea as to how this would work, so I may need to buy a small bottle in order to make my mind up on it!

As for my Ceridwyn's Cauldron expect an update very soon!!!!
