Boots Buys

Do you know what I went in to Boots for? ONE BLUSHER!! How does this happen? There were a million things I hadn't seen ( and therefor needed) but here's what I decided to pick up 'for review purposes'..Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Nude Mauve Pink - £8.99What I actually went in for.. considerably smaller than I'd expected. It's a baked blush that I was hoping may rival my MAC mineralised powders.. so far I'm enjoying it but I think I need to pick up another before I can really compare. At £8.99 it's not super cheap but still a good £10 less than the MAC equivalentCollection Up To 7 Day Wear Nail Polish - £1.99AMAZING! I picked this one up on a whim having totally fallen in love with 'autumn neutrals' recently (a natural progression from the sheer nudes of summer) and it is such a gorgeous colour. A deeper, mauvey beige that really does last longer than your average polish.. and a very reasonable £1.99Bourjois Rouge Velvet Ole Caliente - £8.99This was a sure fire hit as I'm already a fan of the formula but I love this colour. A bright poppy red/pink that is perfect for the Autumn season. A deeper, more classic pink that I just love in a long lasting, comfortable matte liquid lip.Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme De Nude & Fantasy - £4.99Again a product I already own in multiple shades that I decided to pick up in extras.. I actually think I might have Creme De Nude already (that's bad, right?) but Fantasy is a new one, a cool shimmer bronze. They're some of the only cream shadows I really like, again long lasting, they don't crease and the colour selection is awesome!L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Fatale in Black - £9.99My favourite of the two mascara's I picked up (spoiler alert! - post to come) it was no surprise I loved this as I've enjoyed most previous versions of the Volume Million collection. It's adds volume quickly without being too clumpy and just WORKS for me.YSL Vinyl Gloss Liquid Lipstick in 409 Burgundy Vibes - £26.00Ahhh.. I was so excited to try this, I actually reviewed it a couple of days ago - here - but have since got my hands on a second so will be doing a follow up 'wear and compare' video to see how it holds up against the original as well as some lower cost alternatives. For now, I'm a fan of the new formula.L'Oreal Infallible Matte Max Lipstick in Oops I Pink It Again - £6.99This is a strange one.. I THINK I heard some negative reviews about this early on but decided I needed to try it for myself and I'm glad I did. It's a powder lip colour.. not sure how they can call it lipstick as it's nothing like a lipstick but it's a totally matte option for those looking for that. I have a feeling this will work best over a liner or satin lip colour.. will review soon.Bourjois Volume Reveal Mascara in Radiant Black - £9.99 (on offer at £6.99)This one I'm still working with. It's a much softer, more natural mascara compared to the L'Oreal which truth be told on me just doesn't really do much. I have to really layer it to get much volume so for me it's not really high impact enough but if you have naturall good lashes it might just give you the subtle oomph you want.L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper Medium Dark - £5.99I've been using this for about a week now and really like it but it's not what I expected. I thought it would be a dupe for Benefit Gimme Brow but it doesn't add anywhere near as much 'volume' or fibres to the brows. It's more like a tinted mascara, very firm hold so if you don't like the feeling of product in your brows this might not be for you.So that's my quick run down.. I will follow up with everything at some point whether it be in a video or a blog post but I thought I'd run through a little first impressions of everything for now in 'haul' form.. overall a pretty successful trip, I think.
