No7 Haul- Including a Gift Box!

*Warning this is a bit of a long one!*

Top to Bottom- Iridescent Purple Duo lighter shade, darker shade, cool mink shadow stick

So I was in Boots the other day whilst searching for items to go in my mystery bundle...oooh mystery. Anyway, so I was browsing the No7 counter when I saw there was an offer on, where if you buy two No7 cosmetic products you get a free gift box worth £20!! I was sold, I mean immediately. 

So I straight away picked up the eyeshadow duo in Iridescent Purple, my much researched dupe for the discontinued Estee Lauder Raisins Duo *cries at the fact I never got to even try it* which I have been dying to buy for ages now. And then I spotted this shadow stick in Cool Mink, which may I say stay for a bloody long time! I only swatched it on my hand and it took a bit of scrubbing to get off, which I'm hoping means it is a stick version of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo's which stay alllll day, without fail! It is a lovely brown-y, taupe-y colour and I think will be one of those that you can just slap on when you're in a rush, to make it look like you've tried with your makeup, even if you don't have time. I will hopefully do a post on the eyeshadow duo soon as I am so excited to use it, I think it will be a FOTD as I don't think I'm good enough to do a tutorial yet. 

So with those two products I received a cute little box with four mini products in. I received:

•  a mini Skin Illuminator Radiance Boosting Beauty Fluid in Peach
• a mini High Shine Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink
• a single Stay Perfect Eye Shadow-the middle shade from the Cappuccino Trio 
• a mini Exceptional Definition Mascara in Black

I'm really happy about what I got in this little gift box, two of the things (mascara and lip crayon) I have really wanted to try for a while as i have heard a lot about No7 products but not really delved into the brand before. I think this type of promo is a really great way to try out a brand and see if you like their products and what the quality is like. 

So far I have tried the lip crayon and the eyeshadow and I really like both, the lip crayon has great pigmentation and staying power, yet feels light on the lips and the colour can be built up from sheer to quite bright. The shadow is quite a light colour therefore brilliant for all over the lid and has brilliant staying power even without primer, it doesn't crease and no fallout. I am yet to try the mascara but No7 is notorious for their reputation so am excited to give it a go and I've never used a skin illuminator before so that should be interesting.

I hope you liked seeing this and make sure you go out and pick up this offer before it runs out! I'll see you on Sunday and don't forget to enter my giveaway!
