Boots, Superdrug and MAC Haul!





Guess what?! I went shopping. Oops...




So I firstly replaced my trusty go-to concealer, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I love this and you've probably heard me talk about it loads, but yes, this was the first thing I picked up from Boots.


I then picked up this mascara, Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama. I bought this because Tanya Burr (makeup artist and beauty blogger/YouTuber) uses this in a lot of videos and Zoella featured it in her America haul video so I thought I would give it a go seen as I needed a new mascara!


Then I finally picked up the Real Techniques Core Collection, which includes a buffing brush, contour brush, small detailer brush and pointed foundation brush. There are the brand of one half of Pixiwoo , pro makeup artist, blogger and YouTuber Sam Chapman. I already have the 'Expert Face Brush' and 'Powder Brush' from Real Techniques (I think I mentioned buying the Expert Face Brush in my last makeup haul post) and I love them so much, they are very high quality brushes which I would be more than willing to pay much more than their retail price for! I'm extremely excited about these as I've been wanting them for so long!




I then picked up a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous which is a gorgeous orange/coral colour. These are a great dupe for the Clinique Chubby Sticks for around £10 cheaper. They come in a ton of colours and I'm very excited to use it!




I know dry shampoo is a tad boring, but Batiste do dry shampoos with hints of colour in as well as the original. I use this one because I have very dark brown hair and if I use the original dry shampoo it can sometimes make my hair look grey and ashy. Also, these can be used to cover up your roots - my natural hair colour is a lot lighter than the colour that I dye it so when my roots start to show through they look very weird, and obviously because hair dyeing isn't too great for your hair, I don't really want to dye my hair as soon as I can see my natural colour coming through... What I'm trying to get at is you can use it to darken your roots as well as to refresh your hair -- this is also another repurchase of mine too!




I bought this Sleek Au Naturel Palette from Superdrug and this is something that I've been wanting for ages but never got round to buying it but it is a very nice palette and I'm extremely glad that I bought it! The shadows are very pigmented, which is amazing for £7.99 for £12 shadows! I'm very excited to use this!




Now I first saw the Make Up Academy Heaven and Earth Palette on Louise's (Sprinkle of Glitter) YouTube video when she'd been sent some things from MUA, and I thought, ooohh that looks nice! And especially for just £4! I'm excited to try this out too as well as the Sleek palette!




Then I went to MAC... I firstly picked up the Lady Danger lipstick. I wanted something a bit different and I also wanted an orange lipstick but I didn't want to go straight to a super bright orange like Morange, and Lady Danger is more of a reddy-orange, so I bought this one because it wasn't super bright and orange. So yes, I really love it so far. By the way, don't be deceived by the photo of it above, it looks pink because of rubbishy lighting, please forgive.




My final item, also from MAC is one of their Mineralize Skin Finishes -- they are powder highlighters, which could also be used as eyeshadows I suppose, and they are absolutely gorgeous! The shade I got is called Soft and Gentle, but I've found that they change the names of them all the time so if you are a reading this a few months after I've uploaded this then the chances are that they are still selling this but just under a different name!

So that's all the things that I bought yesterday! I hope you're having a wonderful day whatever you are doing!
Lots of love xx
