Superdrug Haul!

This is stuff that I've bought over two days, some on Thursday and Saturday. So here's what I got.

Glamour Magazine Freebie
So as most of you already know, but some may not. This month you get a free benefit sample when you purchase Glamour Magazine, there's 3 different samples to choose from. You can choose from:

• Bad Gal Mascara worth £10 
• That Gal (primer) worth £15
• The Porefessional worth £10

I choose the Porefessional after hearing amazing things about it, and being sucked in about the cute packaging. Words can't describe how amazing this primer actually is! I love the finish it leaves on the skin, it's like no product I've ever tried before.


Carmex Pot
If you read my review on the Carmex Strawberry Tube, you would know that I noticed the product run out very quickly. I still haven't ran out but thought it would be a good idea to have a back up just in case. I decided to try the pot type this time, I couldn't find the strawberry one so I just got the original. So far I'm not to keen on the smell, but I'm yet to try it out.

MUA Snow White Eyeliner and MUA Pro Face Primer
I thought I'd write about these to products together as they are both things I'm either running really low on, or have ran out. The eyeliner has become part of my daily makeup routine, due to the amazing pigmentation and staying power. As for the Face Primer I'm more then happy with and use it as my daily face primer under foundation, and recently ran out.

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover
Once again another product I've tried and tested, this is my 3rd bottle and this thing has never let me down yet! It removes the nail polish fast and easy. However more swipes are needed for glitter nail polish.

Fashionista Blush, Butterscotch
After hearing about Fashionista's new merged blush I was desperate to pick up the lightest shade. Sadly I couldn't find them in either of my 2 local Superdrugs so I thought I would try Butterscotch instead.

May 2012 Favourites!

Can't believe I'm actually posting my May favourites on time this month! So this is what I've been into this May.

This months favourites are:

• MUA Pro Palette, Heaven & Earth 
• MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 2
• NYC City Curls Curling Mascara, Black
• Clinique High Impact Mascara , Black
• Clinique High Lengths Mascara , Black
• Garnier BB Cream Sample, Light 
• Collection Lasting Perfection Powder, Light 
• MUA Love Heart Range Lip Balm, Great Lips
• Carmex Strawberry Tube 

 MUA Pro Palette, Heaven & Earth
My Favourite eyeshadow palette at the moment! This palette has the perfect selection of neutral eye shadows, from light, skin toned shades, to dark browns. The eye shadows have amazing pigmentation, and a amazing staying power! I can get about 9 hours out of these without of primer, which is fantastic for a palette that only coat £4.


MUA Single Eyeshadow Shade 2
I'm loving this shade at the moment! I needed a new highlighter as my previous one was in a palette and it was a pain pulling the whole palette out everyday just for one eyeshadow. I love this as a highlighter though! It has great staying power, likewise the other eye shadows in the MUA range, and amazing pigmentation. For the killer price of a £1, what more could you want?


Clinique High Impact & High Length Mascara's
I wanted to talk about these two together, as I only ever use them together. High Lengths is easily the best lengthening mascara I've ever used, and really gives your lashes maximum length! High Impact finishes the whole look off, it adds great volume. And basically does what it says on the tube.

NYC City Curls Curling Mascara
This mascara was in my April favourites, but I still haven't found a mascara that can top this! I just love the curl that this baby adds! I love how no matter how hard you try that it just does not clump, I wont reveal to much though as I plan on reviewing this soon.

 Garnier BB Cream Sample, Light
Finally, after two months of waiting my BB cream samples finally arrived! This is perfect for those hot few days we had last week. It moisturises really well and leaves a light-medium coverage. This is everything a good BB cream should be, my only problem being its slightly to orange for my skin even though its the lightest shade.

Collection Lasting Perfection Powder, Light
Favourite powder at the moment! It doesn't leave you powdery, and certainly isn't chalky. The packaging on this sort of reminds me of Rimmels Stay Matte, because of the clear plastic lid. The formula itself reminds me of the NYC Smooth Skin Pressed Powder, however this one has more of a yellow under tone.

MUA Love Heart Range Lip Balm, Great Lips
I haven't been into lipstick or lipgloss much because of the hot weather recently but I've been loving lip balm! Great Lips is sort of a peachy, nude colour and goes perfect with any makeup look, as well as looking natural. Its incredibly moisturising and has a lasting power of about 2-3 hours.

Carmex Strawberry Tube
I've been trying to include SPF products into my makeup routine lately, so Carmex has came in real useful with its SPF 15. Not only that but its incredibly moisturising and helps heal lips. Its a clear colour so you could wear this with anything.

Review: Carmex Strawberry Lip Balm Tube

If I could choose one thing out of my full lip collection, including lipstick, lipgloss, lip cream the full lot.
I would choose this!

I couldn't get the SPF15 bit in so here's another photo;)

There you go!

Taken from Boots website:

" Not only does this fruity balm heal dry, cracked lips, it also acts as a sunscreen with the added protection of SPF 15."

 

 Ingredients list

This lip balm has a rounded applicator , so its nice and easy to apply with no mess. It comes out in a sort of jelly form, but applies to your lips as more glossy, like a lipgloss. 

The lip balm definitely does what it promises! I found my lips much more moisturised after about just a week. Also I found they had less cracks, which has definitely made a difference in the application of lipstick and lipgloss. And as for the SPF 15 bit, well i haven't really had the chance to test that because well...

Come on dudes I live in England since when did we get the sun!;)

I usually apply this after I've been in the bath at night times, or sometimes when i moisturised my face in the mornings. Most of the time though I apply it before i go to bed. I've only got one con about this product though, and whether its normal or not for this particular product, I haven't experienced this in the past before with previous lip balms or lip gloss tubes I've tried. 

Basically, after about a week of using it I had already noticed a "dent" in the tube. Like this,

 

Either I've been applying to much when I first got this product, or its just how frequently I've been using it I don't know. Or maybe its just how this product works? 

Either way I would still recommend this product if you want a great lip balm that moisturises and contains SPF. I got this from Superdrug for little over £2, you can also get this item at Boots for roughly the same price.
