Superdrug, Boots and John Lewis Haul

Hi lovelies :)

It's been a while since my last haul post, which seemed to be very popular, so I thought I would update you on my most recent purchases!

Is it me or do you seem to run out of your essentials at the same time?! This was definitely the case for me, so I will start with my staple high end purchases from John Lewis.

1. Benefit They're Real Mascara £19.50

I was extremely late on the band wagon with is product and, to be honest, when I purchased this for the first time I did not like it at all! I found the formulation too wet and when applied I found it gave my eyelashes a clumpy look. However, when the tube began to dry out I found it much easier to work with. With two careful coats on my lashes I love the finished look! My lashes are separated, lengthened and volumised! everything you need in a mascara and no matter how many mascara I try, I always end going back to this one!

2. Benefit Dallas Blusher - £23.50

I've never owned the full sized version if this product, but have used it many times when it has been part of various Benefit make up sets. It is a deep pinky bronze colour and I love the way this product makes my skin glow. I will definitely be making good use of this product over the upcoming summer months.


3. Nars Laguna Bronzer - £26.00

Another cult favourite amongst the beauty community and I certainly know why! This is the third time I have repurchased this product. It is not a matte bronzer, but neither it is overly shimmery. It has a subtle golden shimmer and is excellent for contouring! I love to use this product in the summer when I'm on holiday or when I get back to help enhance the tan on my face.


Now for the products I picked up in Superdrug.

1. Simple Cleansing Face Wipes - £2.99

As I have sensitive skin these are my favourite face wipes to use when I'm trying to get my makeup off and too lazy to go through my whole cleansing routine. They are 100% perfume & colour free and both cleanse and tone, leaving your skin feeling moisturiser. (Currently buy one get one free, grab them while you can!)


2. Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo (£3.50) & Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor (£3.50)

Over the last few months I've coloured my hair quite a lot and it has been exposed to the sun and chlorine on holiday, so I decided I needed to inject some moisture back into my hair. I love the Aussie range and have used it frequently over the past. Although its not a high end brand, I feel that it really works well on my hair and makes it feel good as new! (It's currently in a 2 for £6 offer which I couldn't pass up!)

3. L’Oreal Absolute Eye and Make-up Remover £4.99

This is my all time favourite eye makeup remover and I have been using it for we'll over 6 months now. It removes all of my eye makeup, including waterproof mascara with ease and without leaving a greasy residue on your eyes. To view a more in depth review of this product, click here.


4. Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara - £4.99 (usually £6.99)

I am a sucker for trying out new mascara's and when this mascara's bright green packaging caught my eye, I couldn't miss the opportunity to pick it up. I hate it when I apply numerous coats of mascara's to get my lashes to the desired look, and my lashes became stiff. Scandaleyes is formed with Lycra and promises volumised lashes that are soft and flexible. I'm yet to road test this, but if it does what it says on the tin, or should I say tube, then I think I'm going to love it!

Now for my final pieces I picked up in Boots.


1. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Brown - £3.99

I love Batiste dry shampoo as a whole, but when they bought out the 'hint of colour' range last year I've never swapped back and is now one of my hair styling staples. To read my review on this dry shampoo click here.

2. Umberto Giannini Frizzi Miracle Worker with Argan Oil - £6.99

With naturally thick, curly hair I'm forever on the look out to tame my inevitable frizz. Umberto Giannini recently released its 'Frizzi' range, so I decided to try out this oil. It claims to protect your hair whilst adding softness and shine. I can't wait to test this out as I've seen many good reviews online so far!

That's all for this haul post, phew! Had a buy of a spend up, but its full if necessities, so it's ok!
