boots haulin'

Friday, 2 November 2012


We all love a good bargain don't we? I decided to take up some of the offers that Boots had and stocked up on a few little bitties that I had my eye on.

  • Real Techniques Stippling Brush: when Boots had their 3 for 2 offer on, I knew that a Real Techniques brush would be making its way into my basket. I decided to go for the stippling brush as I felt I would get the most use out of this one. My gosh, it is amazing! I use it for blending in my foundation and it just creates a lovely flawless finish. Get it. Get it now.
  • Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation: I only own 1 other foundation so i thought it would be a good idea to branch out and try another. I went for the Match Perfection one and I await tentatively until I can use it as I'm always so rubbish at colour matching foundation. Holding my breath!
  • Barry M Red Glitter Nail Polish: I need Christmas in my life now. And you can never get bored of glittery nail polish. Especially of the red kind.
  • Nivea Lip Butter (Caramel Cream): I really don't need another lip butter or lip balm but my curiosity got the better of me. This smells so good! Better than the Creme Brulee Vaseline as this has a more rich smell. Mmmmm.
I justified all this by saying that I needed it all so I can blog about it. Yes. It works.

What have you been loving/buying recently?

  1. I really want to try the foundation as I've heard so much good stuff about it lately, but unfortunately I own way too many foundations to justify it :(. I LOVE the stippling brush, especially for creme blush! x

  2. I was terrible in the boots 3for2, I can't say no to a deal! I got so much stuff haha! I justify buying loads by saying, "I want it and there's no point waiting and getting it in instalments because it's on offer now and I'll get it all cheaper, so I'll be saving money in the longrun" hahaha!! And now superdrug has all their makeup on 3for2... oh dear...
