It was my day off work from the busy Easter Weekend that we had at the Manor so I persuaded my Mum and my sister to go shopping. I did need to go to Boots to get a concealer as mine was running out, but I bought a little more than I needed because there was a 3 for 2 offer on all make up and beauty and I just couldn't resist?! It wasn't too bad because my Mum bought a mascara with the offer because I had to stop myself at one point, so I didn't buy too much, but I probably didn't need all of it, but hey-ho...That probably didn't make any sense, but on we go...
The first thing I bought was the Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter in the shade 'Sugar Frosting' number 005 and this is such a pretty, shimmery, natural colour and I love the name. It is a very pale, glittery pink colour and it is super cute. I have been wanting one of these for ages as I have heard so much about them and they look really cute. They are basically a buttery balm with a shiny colour pay off and are supposed to leave your lips hydrated. I am really excited to try this out and will write a review on it soon. These are £7.99 each which is a normal price for a drugstore lipstick.
The next thing I picked up was what I went in for which was a concealer and it was the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and I bought mine in the shade cool medium, in number 2 and this matches my skin tone the best. It claims to last 16 hours and this is a big claim, but it definitely hides any blemishes I have and lasts throughout the whole day. It is also great at hiding the dark circles under my eyes, so I would definitely recommend this. It is only £4.19 and this is such a great price for a drugstore concealer that actually works.
I then went over to the Bourjois section and managed to pick up the last Bronzing Powder in shade 51. I don't speak French, so I literally have no idea what any of the writing on this product means, but it looks like chocolate and so many people rave about it and I just wanted it, so I got it. It was only £6.99 and it looks more brown than the one I am currently using from Rimmel which has more of an orange undertone. It says that it will give an 'immediate boost to your complexion' and that your skin will 'look good enough to eat' and I don't know how I feel about that claim but we'll go with it. I am excited to use this as it should give my skin more colour than it currently does. Yay!
As I have only really just got into make up I never really knew that much about make up brushes and all that jazz, but as I have said in a previous blog post I bought my first sets from eBay, but I really wanted a professional brush, so I went over to where all the brushes were and saw the Real Techniques brushes. I picked up the 'Blush Brush' to use for contouring and I am really excited to use it. Real Techniques brushes are supposed to be amazing and they claim to give a 'high definition result' and as these brushes are a collection made by two YouTubers who are make up artists, they do all their tutorials using these brushes. It's pink and what girl doesn't love a bit of pink so that's snazzy and it was £9.99, but it was also on the 3 for 2 offer, so that was all okay!
I have needed a pencil sharpener for agesss because the one I got from Avon ages ago has broken. I was going to get a cheap one, but my Mum said that I might as well buy a good one, so it doesn't break so easily, so I picked up the No 7 one and this was £4.95, which is quite pricey for a sharpener, but it should last me a while.
We also went into House Of Fraser mainly to find my younger sister a prom dress, but she wasn't with us, so `I took a detour to the Make Up section and my sister spotted a poster about a beauty confidential event. It will be held on Thursday 1st May at 6pm and will last 2 hours, so I will have to go there straight after work. It was only £5.00 per ticket and my Mum, Zoe and I will be going. On the ticket it says that you will 'discover this season's key beauty trends'. which sounds super exciting and I am so happy that Zoe asked about it, because I'm a shy idiot. The woman at the Clarins counter was super lovely and I know that most people are kind of scared to go up to Beauty counters as they can seem intimidating, but the people are only there to help you, so don't be scared. My nearest House Of Fraser is on Aylesbury, so I am super excited to go to this event. We are able to get our make up, hair and nails done, but seeing as I bite my nails (eww, gross habit I know), that won't be very possible for me. I will definitely write a review on how the event goes and will take pictures, if possible.
We also got given free samples of a Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster and a Daily Energizer Cream, so they will be exciting to try out!
I have been useless blogging at the moment, but I am getting back on track and have more ideas to blog about, so keep your eyes peeled!! :)
