Drugstore Haul

On my days off recently I popped into town and had a wander around my local Boots and Superdrug shops. Whilst in Boots I discovered they had a sale on their Rimmel nail varnishes and I just couldn't resist. 

Left to right- sky high £2.19, tangy tangerine £1.99, marshmallow heaven £1.99

I firstly fell in love with marshmallow heaven just because of the name! How cute, and also as you know I cant resist a bit of purple, not that I need another one for the collection, oopsie. I then picked up Tangy tangerine because I don't own a lot of summery bright colours so I thought this pastel orange would be perfect to brighten up my nails. And finally I thought it was about time that I bought a light blue, I don't own many blues at all but the ones I do have are either dark, or metallic. And I just couldn't resist the bargain to be quite honest, I feel like if I don't take advantage of it I will kick myself later.
The formulas of these varnishes are brilliant, they only need around 2 coats and they have a nice opaque colour, they stay on your nails for a good amount of time before chipping; about 2 or 3 days. 

I also grabbed another Rimmel Match Perfcetion foundation because the one I bought before was a bit dark for my skin and as I haven't tanned as much as I hoped I just can't pull it off. The shade lighter is a great match for my skin and I really do love this foundation.

This was also on offer so I bagged this for £4.99 instead of £6.99, always good to save those pennies!

Next I popped into Superdrug, initially to grab some food but how could I resist the urge to check out the beauty isles?
I went to the skincare isle to see if they had any offers on and just to my luck I found something I had actually been needing! A new night cream, I feel like the one I have been using lately is to thick and oily, so that when I wake up I do not want to put makeup on it, as I feel like I'm just shovelling on another layer, not great. However a lovely pink label grabbed my attention and pointed out this beauty. 

Firstly I want you to appreciate the gorgeous packaging! For an own brand and such a cheap product it really is lovely and little things like that make me want to by a product so much more (materialistic I know). Anyway it claims to have Kiwi fruit and Mulberry extracts for brightening and renewing fruit acids, also it says that it 'awakens the skin's natural glow, nourishes and replenishes'. Infused with plant extracts, it all sounds very natural and fresh. After all that, I really do enjoy using this, as the final step before I go to bed it really does soothe my skin after a long day and makes it feel replenished. It has a very refreshing smell that doesn't linger when on your skin, it sinks it nicely and is very light. A very nice replacement from my old dud. This was only £2.99 in the end, a great bargain.

Whilst at the till ready to pay for this I spotted the Maybelline Baby Lips on a shelf next to me, on offer for 3 for 2! I immediately grabbed the two flavours(?) that were there and asked the lady at the till is it was ok to grab another from the actual stand with a larger range, she said that was fine but knowing my luck I couldn't find it! I was rushing and flustered because there was a queue behind me so I just went back defeated and paid for both without the 3rd for free :( I was so happy to have found them finally as my local drug stores seemed to be the last in the country (a bit of an exaggeration) to sell them, but it disappointed me that they were so damn hard to find, probably just me be being blind. 

I ended up getting Mint Fresh and Peach Kiss, I love the mint one as it's so fresh and is colourless, I keep this by my bed for before I go to sleep or when I wake up. Peach kiss gives a gorgeous shimmer to your lips as well as a slight pink tint and the smell is just amazing. I am so glad to have picked these up and will definitely be back for more! 

Sorry this has been such a wordy post, I didn't intend it to be, promise.
