Today I have for you, a little haul of all the beauty bits and bobs I recently picked up...Real Techniques - Powder Brush
I bought this brush from Boots purely because it was the easiest place to purchase from at the time, however, I know that Superdrug are often cheaper. Buying from the Real Techniques website itself is probably your cheapest option though, as long as you're not in desperate need of the brush because I know, from experience they don't provide the fastest standard delivery.
MUA - Blusher in colour 'Bon Bon'
I actually brought this blusher a month or two ago, but it seemed appropriate to include it in this post. It is a really pigmented blush so when I initially swirled my brush into it, my cheeks were almost caked in pink powder - you definitely do not need much of this stuff.. overall I like it, notice the word 'like' not 'love' however...
Lush - Eau Roma Water
I bloomin' love this stuff! I have been using it for a few weeks now (again it is something I picked up a little while a go) and I just love it. It contains rose water and lavender which are both completely calming and gentle and ideal for sensitive skin. This product is just seriously refreshing and perfect for summer.
Rimmel - Stay Matte powder
I like this product as a simple day to day powder. I chose to buy the shade 01 translucent as I didn't want it to give me coverage but to just help with the shiney face look I get throughout the day.
Bourjois - Healthy Mix foundation
After trying the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, I was keen to try this Bourjois foundation too. Id heard a lot of people talking good things about both this Borjois foundation and the Rimmel one. Once I tried the Wake Me Up foundation, and found it to be good, I decided Bourjois was my next experiment. Ive only used it a few times so far, and the main things I have noticed are that:1. it isn't a dewy as the Rimmel Wake Me Up
2. the coverage is a lot better/higher
The Body Shop - Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream
I bought this in the shade 02. Their are only three shades, which at first I thought might limit my choices, however, for me the colour 02 is more or less perfect. This BB, like most, doesn't give much coverage, but for those better skin days or if you're not going out but want something on your skin, it is ideal. As it contains tea tree, it i naturally better for your skin compared to chemically manufactured products.
The Body Shop - Papaya Body Butter
Again from the body shop, this yummy smelling papaya body butter (smell-internet needs to be created) which I picked up for the amazing price of £5 down from something like £13?! Also, as far as I am aware, it is still in the sale:)
The Body Shop - All in one, InstaBlur, Universal
After using Benefits Porefessional for so so long and not being overly impressed with its ability to hold my make up throughout the day, I decided to follow the crowd and give this a go!
Clarins - Bronzing Duo in shade 'Light'
I recently finished my current bronzer by '17' which I have used for yonks! I was really tempted by the Hoola bronzer by Benefit, however this Clarins duo gave a really light, healthy glow and for my skin tone at the moment, it is fitting.
And that concludes this little beauty haul, I hope you enjoyed...
Let me know any products you think I might want to add to my ever growing beauty collection:)
