HAUL - Boots (Buy 1 Get 2nd Half Price)
I love a good bargain - blog sales, Ebay, flash sales, end of season sale time - you name it, I'm there, credit card in hand. I think it is because I can kid myself that I'm not spending if I'm saving! Anyway, I popped into Boots to repurchase Effaclar Duo and took advantage of the 3 for 2 on skincare so I thought I would test out Effaclar K and their Micellar Water as my No. 7 eye make up remover is nearly gone (mini review - it works but is nothing exciting).
I was about to purchase some make up bits too when I noticed the shop assistants putting up the signs for the buy 1 get 1 half price offer that started the day after. So of course, I had to go back the next day to make the most of both deals!
This is what I purchased:
TOP TIP!
Boots' tills are great - if you put 2 similar priced items through next to each other, the deal comes straight off them, rather than off all the cheapest items - so I aimed to get each offer in similar-priced pairs.
Bourjois Bronzing Primer £9.99
I bought this because a lot of my foundations/tinted moisturisers are too pale for me now I have a bit of a (fake) tan. I mix in a little blob and it corrects the colour before application. It works well for this - demo coming soon!
L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara £10.99
I have kept this sealed until I need it so I will post a review another time. I have heard lots of good things about it though so I have high hopes. It was really hard to get a good pic of this because the wrapper kept reflecting the flash so I nabbed this one from the L'Oreal website.
Bourjois Cream Blush 2 £7.99
I am into orange/coral at the mo, having just bought a fab orange t-shirt from Zara and one from the Oasis sale. I WILL be summery even if the weather is trying to stop me!
Soap & Glory Cheekmate £8
This is a pinky red stain with a thick texture. It blends in nicely and lasts well on the skin. I have just heard there is a voucher for this in the Boots mag - free if you buy any other S&G product.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19
I'm sure I have nothing to add to this much raved about product. I bought this in Medium as Light 2 is great but too pale for me at the mo. The only thing I don't like about this is that the black writing on the packaging smears off onto my fingers. Ew.
Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover £4.99
One word. Genius.
I got:
2 copies of Elle
Rodial Fake Tan in Dark and Clear
I have a face and body set in Clear that I got from TKMaxx that I love - applies easily, natural colour and lasts better than any other fake tan I have ever used.
Company
a little stripy bag that I use to organise bits in my handbag - tooth flossers, hand gel, hair bobbles etc, that go all over the place otherwise.
Marie-Claire
a really cute Ciate manicure set with a gorgeous nude/beige polish and sparkly caviar.
Glamour
ModelCo nude lip liner - a gorgeous shade that gives a lovely even colour base.
