Beauty Haul

I was in desperate need of some new make up and I thought why not try some things out rather than sticking what I'm comfortable with. I went to Boots and also bought some things off fragrance direct, which is an amazing online beauty shop where you can get beauty products discounted - and there are some amazing bargains on there. 

Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express Mascara

I love this - it doesn't clump or crumble at all and it's really easy to build up for long and voluminous lashes. It also has a plastic wand which I love because they work the best for me.

Benefit's POREfessional Primer 

I got this nifty little travel sized bottle free with a magazine and so far I am loving it, I haven't used it that much since getting it but I could see a difference as soon as I put it on, my pores immediately vanished and my skin was so smooth. I would recommend this to anyone.  

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Everyone raves about Real Techniques so I finally gave in and decided to invest in one, and the one that took my eye was the expert face brush. I can see why this brush is well loved; it's very dense so its easy to buff it into the skin. I don't have to do much work with this as it does it all for me.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

This foundation is actually a little too dark for me; I knew I should've gotten the lighter shade, but either way this foundation works really well for me. I have stuck to the same foundation for well over a year now and that is Maybelline's Match Perfection Foundation. Even though I love how well it matches my skin and the coverage it gives me too, I thought it was time to choose something different. The coverage with this is very good but I feel like it leaves my skin very dewy and that's not something I normally like, but if you're a fan then this foundation is for you. It's a light formula but very buildable.  

Bourjois Une Skin Glow Foundation

This was just an impluse buy as it was cheap on fragrance direct but I am surprised how much I liked it. It is also too dark for me - only by one shade though so it's not that bad. I like the formula as it's not greasy and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. 

Bourjois Une Lip Toned Lipstick

This was another impulse buy and I have to say I love this so much - I suffer with dry lips all the time so most lipsticks just make my lips crack, but I don't like sheer formulas so you can see my dilemma. Normally I just steer clear of lipsticks but I am so glad I didn't pass this up. It doesn't dry my lips at all and in no way is it sheer. The colours are inspired by actual lip colours so they are mainly pink nudes. 

Bleach London Bruised Violent Non Permanent Hair Dye (full range here)

I really want to dye the ends of my hair purple (mainly because I am way to scared to dye my whole head purple) and I was looking for a non permanent one so it won't damage my hair too much, and one that would work on dark hair as I am not keen on the idea of bleaching my hair. I haven't done it yet but I was thinking about doing a post on it, so look out to see if it works!

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Conditioner

I bought this for when I dye the ends of my hair, I've used this conditioner before and it was a miracle worker on my hair so I'm just praying it will save me if anything goes wrong.

Those are just some beauty bits I've picked up this month, next month I will definitely be trying new things out as well!
