I took a little trip to my local boots a few weekends ago,& picked up a few of my beauty essentials, along with a few newbie’s Ihadn’t tried before. I absolutely love Boots, & could literally spend daysin there, if I was allowed ha-ha.
Revlon ColorBurst™ Lip Butter - £5.99 (on offer, usually£7.99)
Firstly I picked up one of the infamous Revlon Lip Butter’s,in Tutti Frutti. I really love the packaging & the colour is soooo yummy;love myself a bit of orange! Obviously, being a lip butter, the formula is verysheer, & quite glossy. It applies really well & you can build it up ifyou want a heavier finish. They’re also quite moisturizing, & not at alldrying on the lips. The only downfall for me is that they get used up soquickly, such a weak formula doesn’t stay around for too long; but you can’thave it all can you! I’ll definitely be repurchasing this one & a few morecolours too. It’s currently on offer at Boots, so get yourself down there &grab a few!
Collection 2000 Glam Crystals – £2.99
This liquid liner is something I’ve been purchasing since Iwas 17…over 6 years! (You do the math ;)). I just love it. I tend to use itall along the bottom eye, just below my lashes; & sometimes on the tips ofmy liquid eyeliner wings. It’s not an everyday product, just for when I’m goingout for dinner, drinks or something like that. It adds a lovely touch of sparkle & goes withalmost any look!
Optrex Eyedew Dazzling Eye Drops - 10ml - £4.15
Now, I’ve heard a LOT of good things about said eye drops.Can I just say, I am not impressed.
“OptrexEyedew Dazzling Eye Drops will give you super white dazzling eyes and aresuitable for all eye colours.”
I’m afraid; they just didn’t work for me at all. Firstly, myGOD did they sting my eyes. I’m not entirely sure why, as my eyes aren’tparticularly sensitive to drops usually, but literally, I couldn’t open my eyeswithout them really stinging. & secondly, needless to say, they did notmake my eyes whiter. They made them much redder. I did try using them on a fewmore occasions & the same thing happened each time. I was pretty bummed; Iwas looking forward to having dazzling eyes!! I know a few ladies who use themthat have blue eyes & they haven’t had a problem, but my greenies couldn't seem to take it...
No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour 220 Tangy - £7
So, after spending on those three products, I got given ano.7 £5 off voucher…I couldn’t wait, because I’m Megan, & I’m impatient, soI scuttled straight over to their counter to see what I could find. The nailvarnish immediately popped out at me! I think the colour is beautiful,(it’sorange, ;)). If you want to see the finish it gives, you can take a look at mypost
here, where I’m wearingit. It has a really thick consistency; you could probably get away with just 1coat, which is great value. It’s long lasting & the brush is quite long andspreads across the whole nail, both qualities that I love in nail varnishes. &seeing as I picked it up with my voucher, I only spent £2 on it, BARGAIN!
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19
Now, I'm sure you will have spotted this product around every ladies blog, but it is amazing. For such a low price you get a hell of a lot of coverage! It's quite light, but can be built up really easily. I suffer with awfully dark circles under my eyes & this has been an absolute god send - blows some of the high-end brands out of the water!
Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner - Black (I can't remember the exact price, but I think it's about £4.99)
I have been using this little bad boy for years now. It's probably not the best liquid eye-liner out there, but it works so well for me & for such a good price, I think I'll be sticking with it for a few more years to come! I think you may be able to spot a little Collection 2000 trend going on in my make-up bag? haha.
So, that's what I picked up on my little haul :) What do you think of the items I bought? Have you tried any of them before?
Also, I was thinking of doing a mixed haul on my YouTube channel, of a few more bits I picked up this weekend. Clothes, more beauty products etc. Let me know if it's something you'd like to see? :)
