It's been at least a couple of months since I purchased any lip products, and since I absolutely love the Revlon Balm Stain in 'Honey' I thought I'd try out some other shades from the range. In a post last week I mentioned I had a gap in my lipstick stash for a bright pink and an orange lip colour - so when I was in Boots I picked out 'Lovesick' and 'Rendezvous'. They both look gorgeous, so fingers crossed the wear time is just as good as 'Honey'! I also happened to wander past the Barry M stand, and I ended up grabbing a couple of their polishes - who can resist, right? 'Eat my dust' is a gorgeous pale, pastel blue that pulls a tiny bit lilac, and it's from their Speedy Quick Dry range which I was curious to try. 'Damson' is the most stunning bright blue shade, from the Gelly Hi-Shine range (which I've been super impressed with before). Plus, they were buy one get one half price, so it was a win-win situation!
In Superdrug, there's also a 3 for 2 on currently but across all brands. I'd heard a lot about the Max Factor Creme Puff blushes, and how they have a very similar glow-y effect to the Hourglass ones but at a fraction of the price. Since I love Rimmel 'Santa Rose' as it's the perfect natural blush for my skintone, I thought I'd give '10 Nude Mauve' a go - which is very similar but adds a little more dimension to the face as it's not totally matte (I've already tried this out aswell, and it's super soft with very little fallout so applies like a dream!) I also decided to try out Rimmel's (relatively new) foundation, which is the Nude version of their Lasting Finish formulation. As I have a tiny bit more colour in my skin post-holiday, I think '010 Light Porcelain' should be a pretty good shade match - thankyou drugstore brands for finally catering to us super pale people! Finally, I knew that my Benefit Roller Lash was on it's last legs so I was on the market for a new mascara. In the end, the lovely counter staff pointed out that Max Factor's False Lash Effect had several pounds off, making it cheaper than the other two products which meant I got it for free! I'd seen Suzie from Hello October talk about this, and since her lashes always look amazing I thought it was definitely worth a go. Plus, the packaging is super pretty (I think part of the profits go to the Marie Curie trust, which is awesome too).
And just as a little add on at the end, whilst I was in Wilko (getting ice cube trays if you must know!) I stopped off at the Essence stand and chose one of their Longlasting Lipsticks in the shade '01 Coral Calling' It's a lovely, bright peachy coral and was only a couple of pounds. It has a similar scent to their lipliners - slightly chemically woody cherry but isn't strong at all (or that offensive to be honest!)
