Superdrug Haul

I love Superdrug, it's probably my favourite drugstore ever, they always have amazing offers which I just have to get. I did pick up a few items the other week so I thought I'd show them to you guys :)

I purchased the eyeshadow stick, bronzer and lip butter from Collection all for £2.50! They were on sale, I almost died. The eyeshadow stick is lovely, you can see a swatch of it below, it's really iridescent and helps to illuminate my tearducts and brow bone. The bronzer is also gorgeous - it has a slight shimmer and as it's a mosaic, it helps to add extra dimension with the different shades. The lip butter crayon is a really lovely plum colour, its pigmentation is lovely and it lasts quite a good few hours - all are brilliant for the price! I also picked up the Little Mix love eyeshadow palette for £3.99 and it is so nice, the shades are lovely and really pigmented.


There are 5 shimmer shades and one matte



Shade 2 - Radiant


Vanilla Sky 1


4 Perfect Plum
I then purchased another Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain in 040 Shanghai Sizzle - it's a beautiful red shade, it's really glossy and moisturising on my lips, I love it. Plus it was on sale for £5.99! Bargain

First Impression - Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 08 Grand Cru




I bought this on Saturday, and I've literally worn it everyday since. It's absoloutely lovely. Its a new Rouge Edition line from Bourjois and it's called Velvet which is a liquid lipstick range. When I first swatched this shade, I wasn't 100% sure on it and I wasnt sure if that was because it was just a tester and maybe with everyone using it it had made it go all weird or what, but I decided to risk it anyway as I had £10 gathered up on my boots card as you do. 
But I really do love it, it's a really velvety consistency and it feels so soft when applied to my lips, all of the products in this range are a matte finish, and even with that it doesn't leave my lips feeling, or looking dry which is a huge bonus in my book. It does last a long time as well which is awesome. I also love the packaging, it's beautiful and simple and I also love the applicator as it is quite small so it means I don't have to waste time lining my lips or anything. 
Overall I really do love this and I intend to buy more from this range.

First Impression - Revlon Colourstay Moisture Stain in Parisian Passion 005

I'm very much into lip stains and when I Fleur de Force's review on how these and how much she liked them I knew I had to give them a try. I chose this colour because it looked like a lovely dark berry colour, and I'm sure yous are all aware that I love those kinds of shades for Autumn Winter. 
I do really like this product, it's really soft and moisturising on my lips, and as you can do with a lip stain product, you can build the layers and even after about three layers of this product, it didn't dry out my lips.
The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the shade, when I initially seen the product and packaging, it looked like a really dark berry shade, but when it's applied and even after three layers, it's more like a mix between a fuscia shade and a plum shade. But even at that, it's still a really nice product and I intend to wear this over the Autumn/Winter season.

First Impression - Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Really Red 006

This is the perfect, snow white shade, it's probably the most perfect red lipstick I own, it's absoloutely gorgeous, and it's matte which I also love, I actually don't own very many matte lipsticks but considering how beautiful this one is, I'm definately going to invest in more from this line. 
I love this lipstick, not only for the colour, but because of the fact that even though it's matte, it doesn't accentuate my dry lips, it doesnt make them look dry or make the dryness stand out and it doesn't make my lips feel dry and that's incredible. The lasting power is actually really good as well, at least a good few hours before I have to reapply and that's inbetween eating and drinking etc.
I also love the packaging, it's not very big so I can carry it around no bother, I also love the colour scheme, you can't go wrong with black and gold.
Overall, this is a holy grail product and I intend to purchase more of these :)

First Impression - Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Mulberry 788


For me, this is the perfect shade of a purple / black lipstick, which is an awesome colour for the autumn winter season. It is probably one of my favourite colours, along with red to wear for that time of year and is probably my statement lip shades. 
 It is a sheen lipstick so it is quite shiny on my lips, which distacts from any dry skin and it helps to make my lips feel moisturised.
It did last quite a few hours, but with wearing it while eating, drinking and kissing, well, it's bound to wear off but that doesn't really bother me, it only takes a few seconds to reapply so, it's all good.
I also love the packaging, it's really small and compact and it's also matte which I love
This lipstick will definately be my statement lip colour this Autumn/Winter. and for only £4.99, I'm definately going to invest in more shades, I love it!

Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll - On




I've been using this product for ages now, and I love it! As it's from Simple, my favourite skin care brand ever, it's perfect for sensitive skin which I have - and I haven't had any problems with it so far.
I use this product everyday in the mornings to help my tired eyes, as it is a gel formula it's really lightweight and feels really nice on the skin. It  also has a metal ball applicator - which helps to cool my eye area so if they're puffy, or just feeling really tired and yuck,  it will bring the puffyness down and help to really soothe and calm the area. 
I've also noticed it helps to reduce the look of fine lines and dark under eye circles if you use it continuously which is also a huge benefit and for only a few pound from any chemist or drugstore, I would definately recommend this :)
