Drugstore Beauty Haul




Hi guys!
This week I'm coming at you with a little bit of a beauty haul...A little trip to Boots happened which resulted in me going a bit nuts in the beauty aisles meaning I bought waaaaay more then I meant to. Never mind. I'm really happy with everything I got though so I thought I'd show you!




(From the top, working round clockwise)

First up the Soap and Glory Clean on Me Shower Creamy Claryfying Shower Gel- I've used this before but not for a while so thought I'd grab it again whilst I was eyeing up the other S&G products.
Garnier Express 2in1 Eye Make Up Remover- This is a biphase solution, which I always find are the best eye make up removers. Never tried this one before but I don't have a bad word to say about Garnier products so I'm looking forward to trying this out.
LOreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation-This is brand new to the drugstore, but I've heard some great reviews so I snapped it up! I have the shade Vanilla.
Maybelline Forever Strong Professional Nail Varnish- I already have a few of these polishes. They have a fantastic shade range, a fab wide brush and last pretty well. The shade I picked up is Surreal.
Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner- Word on the street is this lip liner (in the shade East End Snob) is a great dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk. I've already used this a few times; it's perfectly creamy, lasts ages and works really well under most nude lipsticks.
Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Liner- I picked these up in black and nude. The nude one is great for the lash line, highlighting inner corners and brown bones. The black liner is so creamy and blendable, it's great as a standard eye liner but also meansyou can create a smoky eye in about 30 seconds!
Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick- I've been looking for the perfect matte nude/ pink lipstick for a while and I've finally found it in this Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade Don't Pink of It!It has a bit of a rosy hue to it, so not quite as pale as a traditional nude (which don't seem to suit me anyway!)
Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil- I have the shade Blonde-Shell. It's the perfect cool shade for blondes. No warm red tones which just look strange, but not too taupey. I love that it's a twist up pencil on one end and has a spoolie on the other end to comb the brows through.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying Mascara- Another new product to the drugstore. I was in need of a new mascara so decided on this new offering from Maybelline. I tried it for the first time today and must say I'm impressed. It has a plastic wand, with longer bristles on one side, perfect for top lashes, and shorter bristles on the other side which was great for bottom lashes. The formular was very light on the lashes and very black but actually stayed all day. I really like it already. 
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub- It smells of limes and yummy sweet things and polishes your body to within an inch of it's silky life. Again, this is another S&G product I've previously used and re-purchased because it's brill.
And finally, the most interesting purchase of all ( I jest...) cotton wool. Because y'know, a gal has to take off all that make up at the end of the day.


Below are all of the swatches of the products listed above....

L-R Brow Archery in Blonde-Shell, Rouge Edition Velvet in Don't Pink of It!, Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob, ScandalEyes liners in Black and Nude.
Hopefully you've enjoyed seeing what I've picked up recently. Let me know what new things you've been trying.
