Recently Purchased #5

Over two shopping trips, I managed to pick this lot up... first one, I only went into Boots for one thing, ended up spending a tad more than I should have. Not too much thankfully haha. I only picked up a few things and wanted to share them with you because I really like them!



So the main reason I popped into Boots last weekend was to repurchase my Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel. I used my other one so much that I could no longer sharpen it, and I really wanted to get another one because I really liked it! Isn't too soft or too hard, but not too pigmented where it makes the brows look fake.



As there were signs saying "3 for 2 on all Rimmel" I just had to buy two more things from the brand... I next picked up a lipstick, it's the Moisture Renew Lipstick in In Love With Ginger - this is what seems to be a great dupe for MAC Morange, and as I'm coming to really like orange lipsticks, I think this is great. 


My third Rimmel item is another repurchase. I'm running out of my Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eyeliner and so before it runs out I wanted to get another one because I'm slightly dependant on this liner since I've had it!


Next thingggg. I've had my eye on the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge for quite a while now. As you know I've very much been a fan of Real Techniques for a while now, and so I've just wanted to try their sponge just out of curiosity really, because I've not used a sponge for foundation for so long (since I've had my Real Techniques brushes as a matter of fact).


Another MAC Lipstick dupe is the Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick in Bubblegum, which is a near exact dupe of MAC Saint Germain. I've wanted Saint Germain for ages but I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, so I thought I'd try this £3 version to see if I like it (and I really do).


And finally for the first trip, you know I do like me a good cream eyeshadow, I picked up the 17 Wild Metallic Eyes cream eyeshadow (I'm not sure of the colour). The first time I actually swatched this was for the above photo, and it has such a soft consistency which will mean this will (or should hopefully) blend like a dream. (Sorry I couldn't find a link for this! It's not on their website anymore but it's definitely still in stores, I only bought this less than a week ago!)



The first from the second trip, I picked up the Clinique Superprimer Face Primer in Universal. I used this yesterday and I love it!! I got the universal shade but you can get other shades for colour correction too.



And finally, the second thing I got on the second trip was this Clinique Chubby Stick for Eyes in Fuller Fudge. I really like the thought of an eyeshadow stick (I do own a couple already actually) because they're so easy to use, even more so than a cream shadow. I haven't used this yet but I love it already its lovely.
