Collective Beauty Haul

Hi everyone,

Recently I have been in the mood for shopping quite a lot and have picked up a few things that I thought I would share with you guys. Some of the things I bought online a couple of weeks ago and some I got last weekend in Liverpool. I’ll be testing them out over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled for a few reviews coming up :)

So here’s me going on about my skin again but Boots recently had a buy one get one free offer on their Tea Tree and Witch Hazel skincare range. I picked up the foaming face wash, back spray, exfoliator and pore strips to try out. I have never come across a back spray before and I don’t actually really get spots on my back but seeing as it was on offer and it’s something I haven’t used before, I thought I would give it a try. I also bought from Boots a new Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara (review here). This must be about my tenth tube of this so beware if you haven’t tried it before and want to give it a go, you will never be able to go back once you’ve started using it!

Not satisfied with the things I had bought from Boots, I then went on the place a Superdrug order. I wanted to stock up on my Sunkissed tan which I have been obsessed with recently (you can check out a review here if you want to know more) and also I needed a new mascara. I went for Maybelline The Falsies and as it was buy one get one half price also Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama which I haven’t tried before.

For the next part of my shopping escapades, last weekend my boyfriend organised a lovely day out including some shopping in Liverpool. Much to his annoyance, I spent quite a while in Boots where I finally got my hands on shade 1 of the Bourjois Radiance Reveal concealer. I found shade 2 a while ago but this lighter option has always been out of stock whenever I have been in Boots or Superdrug so I was so happy to finally track one down!

My eye was also drawn to BareMinerals which a brand I have been meaning to try for such a long time. However, as a loyal Double Wear customer, I have always been concerned that I just wouldn’t be happy with the level of coverage from a mineral foundation. The assistant at the counter sat me down and talked me through the products and I eventually found myself persuaded to folk out the £27 for the new BarePro foundation. I didn’t buy the brush that is meant to go with it as that would have been a further £24 and I couldn’t see that there wouldn’t be one in my collection already that would do the same job. I will let you guys know how I get on with it in a few weeks when I have had chance to test it out properly but I’m hoping I’m not going to be disappointed.

Finally the last couple of things I picked up were a replacement Rimmel Lasting Finish Powder and the new Dove Style and Care Spray. I actually don’t need a new heat protecting spray but was intrigued as to whether or not this one could match up to the Trevor Sorbie Straight, Protect and Shine Spray that I usually use and love.

Phew.. and that’s everything! I can’t wait to get started in trying out these products and have high hopes that they’ll all prove to be good buys. Have you guys done much shopping recently? What have you been buying?

Thanks for reading,
