Look What Happens When I Go To The Dentist...

Yesterday, I had my usual six month check up at the dentist.

Having arrived half an hour before my appointment, I decided to check out what make-up products were on offer in my local Boots and Super Drug.

Here's what I bought:

First I went into SuperDrug where I picked up the famous Gosh "Darling" Lipstick.

♡ Gosh Velvet Touch Lipstick: Darling, #139

£6.49

It's such a bargain compared to MAC.

The texture of this lipstick is ideal, really nice and creamy in texture. Which is great as you don't have to apply so much Carmex beforehand.

I can't believe I haven't owned this before.

 Next I needed a new everyday concealer, I've recently been using Mac's Studio Fix Fluid Foundation and as much as I love it. I have noticed it has broken my skin out with a few spots.

♡ Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - Light, #2

£4.19

I needed a cheap foundation that I could use to wear as an everyday look to cover my blemishes,

I wore this out last night and it was amazing! 

I literally just put the product on my fingers and directly applied it wherever I felt needed more coverage and then blended it using my ring finger.

Voila!

I then moved on too Boots.

I've collected a few pounds worth of advantage card points over the years so I used this to pay for all my purchases.

I've seen a lot of good reviews on the Umberto Giannini "Backcomb In A Bottle" hair product.

♡ Umberto Giannini "Backcomb In A Bottle"

£5.61

It claims to give you instant volume without the need of backcombing the life out of your roots.

I really like the packaging of this product, and the two lids are really useful.

I then checked out the Barry M stand.

I've been wanting the Barry M 101 Lipstick for ages, but whenever I go into boots they're either all open or sold out.

Yesterday however, there was one in stock, still sealed. Yay!

♡ Barry M - Marshmallow, #101

£4.49

It's a really pretty shade and I can't wait to try it out.

Unfortunately my lipstick had a line down the front. Grr!

As you can see when compared to Gosh - Darling, it's slightly pinkier.

I also picked up some standard large sectioning clips to style my hair.

(as shown in my first picture) I think these were around £3.00

I hope everyone has a great weekend :)

3 for 2 in SuperDrug.

Generally speaking unless there is something really specific I need, I normally buy something from Boots compared to SuperDrug. 

However, I noticed when walking through my local town centre that SuperDrug had '3 for 2' offers on many of its brands. Not wanting to be rude and ignore the bright posters in the window I felt it necessary to see what they had to offer.

Being only a local town centre store, for the actual size of the shop, I was very impressed with the amount of brands and products available in the store itself.

Being a Student, I only wear my expensive make up like Clinique and MAC at night, weekends or on special occasions, so I'm always on the hunt for a purse friendly make up alternative to wear during college or work. 

With it only being a local shop and therefore not being very busy, I had the advantage of spending my time exploring each brand and picking out my products carefully, would I really wear it? Does it really suit me? Do I really need it?

After spending time on each of the brands I found myself attracted to the Max Factor stand. I've always adored their mascara, I swear by the Max Factor False Lash Mascara - i really haven't found a better alternative; high street or designer.  So I was interested to see if the foundations and other products were of the same quality as their mascaras. 
Here's what was bought..

♡ Max Factor  Pan Stick in 'Nouveoux Beige - 13' RRP 6.99

I was instantly attracted to the unique packaging of this product, it was so small and thin - ideal to carry around in your handbag. It also has a little twist mechanism, similar to that of a lipsticks.

♡ Max Factor Second Skin Foundation in - 'Natural - 070' RRP 12.99

I loved the consistency of this foundation and the colour matches my skin tone completely.

♡ Max Factor False Lash Mascara RRP 10.99

my favourite mascara

♡ I then made my way over to the false lashes section.
I instantly found myself looking at the Girls Aloud lashes.
Having all the five members eyelashes available in store, it was very tempting to just pick up Cheryl Cole's lashes and make my way to the checkouts before i got tempted by anything else, but after analysing the actual shape of the eyelashes themselves I personally thought that Kimberley's eyelashes looked more my style. 
I'll just have to wait till next time for Cheryl's..


Review will be soon
