Hey people, hope you have had a good weekend, mine has certainly been jam packed which i love!
Thought i would catch up and let you know what i recently purchased, well i say purchased ( i was sent vouchers and had amassed nearly £20 of points at Boots. Yesss!
So spent it on this lovely lot :)
What i got....
Soap & Glory....
- Sugar Crush Body Buttercream £10.50
- Sugar Crush Body Wash £6.50
- Hand Dream Super Intensive Hand Cream £7.00
L' Oreal...
- Lumi Magique Concealer in Light £8.49
- Infallible Matte Foundation in Vanilla £6.99
- Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion 842
Collection...
- Lock n Hold Lipgloss in Rock Steady £2.99
Batiste...
- Dry Shampoo Original in Clean & Classic £2.99
Clean & Clear...
- Advantage Spot Treatment Gel £4.59
And the immediately the first thing i will say about this is that this new foundation i purchased, is quite simply incredible. Unlike nothing i have ever used. I made a brief review on my Instagram about this and the concealer, but seriously wow. I have combination to oily skin, and have always used time and time again the Mac Pro Longwear Foundation, and even though i have always gone to it, and re purchased it time and time again, it never 'lasted' the 15 hours it claimed. Nothing against Mac, as its probably my skin, and yes i do powder. But anyway... This L' Oreal Infallible Matte is now thee best ever, and its so cheap!!
As this is more like a liquid to powder foundation, yes its in tube, but honestly it sets very quickly, it actually lasts all day, and that's a big deal. I am used to re applying makeup twice a day, especially if i am off to work in the evenings, and with this i do not need too. Fab. Its great coverage too, i would say medium to full coverage, and the colour shades are pretty decent too.
Also i have had time to use and mess about with the Lumi Concealer, but am not loving it. For starters i have an issue with price. It is expensive for a concealer, and i would rather pay for Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat £25.99 or Mac Select Cover Up £15.50 over this- i would even rather use the Boots own Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light £4.19 if it was about the price itself. It is fine for highlighting, and that's about it. Also you get very little product, which i do not think would last long at all. Looks like it can cut the mustard, but sadly for me no. Sorry L' Oreal...
Another happy purchase was the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Cream and Body Wash. The scent on these is gorgeous. Limey, sweet, and almost creamy. I already have the Scrub somewhere in my massive collection of smellies. What i rate highly on all their products, is that you get generous sized products, which lasts a long time, and i use mine at least daily!!
I chose their new hand cream too, not much to say, its a hand cream. But has the same Sugar Crush scent which is winner. One other thing i love always about Soap & Glory is just their packaging. Stands out, bold, pretty all at the same time. Well done.
These along with the make up always seem to be on a 3 for 2 promotion at Boots and at Boots.com, so i totally recommend you take up the opportunity to stock up or at least try and test out these for yourself.
Of the other items, i chose was the L' Oreal Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion, has to be along with Nails Inc glitters etc.. one of the best multi- colour glitters out there. Stunning. You could wear it purely on its own which would look nice, but i think it would be too much.... i tend to add as an accent on the pinky nail alone or over a neutral polish like my current favourite shade- Essie Ballet Slippers, and do not forget your top coat. Please check out Seche Vite, it will become your go to choice. I will leave a link below on all products mentioned.
Last but not lease of course, my recurrent buys, which i don't need to explain much about are the Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment and Batiste Dry Shampoo. Great products, do what they say, and are reasonably priced. Work every time too.
Have a good Sunday evening, ta x
