Here are a few of MANY of my July/August purchases - ENJOY!
So from good old trusty MAC I purchased the ever-loved Face and Body Foundation (50ml version) in the shade C3.
This shade is a tad too dark for me, however you can really get away with this with face and body because it is so light. I quite like this foundation - it's great for days when my skin is feeling quite good and I have one or no blemishes.
Moving on, I went to Boots and bought two of the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers as there was a 2-for-£10 offer on Rimmel, and I got the shades 'Apocaliptic' (bright fuchsia pink) and 'Luna' (soft peach-pink).
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Apocaliptic, £5.99
I love how pigmented and long-lasting these are for the price - they retail for usually £5.99, but there's nearly always some sort of offer on at Boots or Superdrug where you can get them from.
Ordering online from Boots next I got quite a lot, but to stop this post taking you hours to read, I'm just going to mention a couple of the things I got.
Firstly is the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm...
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm, £21
Now I don't want to give too much away about this product as I do have a review of it coming up for you in the next two weeks, but it is used to take your makeup off and I really love it - that's all I'm saying!
I then purchased a 'cult' product that has only just come over here to the UK from the States, and is the Maybelline Baby Lips.
These are lip balms which does baffle me why everyone gets so excited about them, but I do have to admit they are VERY good. I'm not much of a lip balm person, but I definitely am for these! I got three in 'Hydrate', 'Cherry Me' and 'Pink Punch'.
A couple of items I then ordered from Superdrug were two Real Techniques brushes, which were the blush brush and the stippling brush.
I LOVE the Real Techniques brush line because they are super affordable but AMAZING quality. There was an offer online too a Superdrug which was buy one get one half price, which gave me that extra push to buy both!
My last two products are from the Topshop makeup range.
These are my first two products from the line - I don't know why I've never tried anything from there before as I love Topshop in terms of clothes and jewellery and things, but anyway... I bought a lipstick and a blusher.
The lipstick, firstly, is in the shade "Innocent".
I find it to be quite similar to MAC Creme Cup (which I nearly bought one the same say!), but I honestly think this feels a lot nicer than the MAC lipsticks! They describe it as a 'velvet finish' which feels so soft and nourishing and nice. I REALLY love his and will definitely be purchasing more Topshop lipsticks in the future!
The blusher I also got from Topshop is in the shade 'Head Over Heels', a soft pink-peachy-coral.
This is a cream blush, however when blended into the skin it sets to a powder but still looks glowy and healthy-looking. This is so nice, I really like it! I love their packaging too, it's very simple but looks great.
That is all I have for you today! I did buy a lot more but I have review and things coming up, and honestly there is just too much to squeeze into one post!
