Haul

I went shopping recently and picked up something that i have seen alot of things about within beauty and somehthings that i just wanted to buy :)

I picked up two Barry M nail paints from Superdrug...

The first one that i picked up was number 322 which is one of the crackle effect nail polishs i never tried one of these types of nail polishes before so im interested to see how they work and how it looks i no that im late on the crackle efffects but that never bothers me. This is colour is a dark purple with i slight glitter in it. The second nail polish that i picked up from Barry M was number 308 and its called Berry I/C which i didnt quite understand what the I/C meant but i think it might be a shot way of writing ice cream, this colour is anouther purple but this one is a pastle purple and doesnt have any shimmer or glitter. Also from Superdrug i picked up a different foundation because i always like to change to see if i can find a better one the one i picked up is from Rimmel London and its the Stay Matte foundation i got mine in the colour 300 Natural Beige, ive used this foundation before but ages ago so i thought that i would give it anouther go.

From Boots i picked up some Aussie products as i have always heard good things about the company and i was looking for a new shampoo because once i finish a bottle i always like to change because with some i find that my hair just gets use to it, also Boots were having a 3 for £10 deal on Aussie products so i thought it would be a great chance to try some so i picked up the 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor, which is a deep condititoning treatment for dry and damage hair. Also i picked up two of the Aussome Volume 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner, i dont normally tend to go for 2 in 1's because i find they dont work as well but since i brought the deep conditioner i thought that it wouldnt matter so much and ive used this for a couple of times and i love the way it leaves my hair.

Thats everything i got i might do a review on the few things i did get after i have used them for a while.

2011 Favourite's

So 2011 has been long over and i decided to do a post on the products that i found myself always using throughout 2011 and re buying number of times.  I have chosen 8 different categories in each of these i have chosen two products that I've used throughout the year of 2011.

Concealer...
Miss Sporty So Clear Cover Stick
Ive been using this concealer for years and love it, i have mine in the colour 1 which is the lightest as i find that it works best for me, its a thick high coverage concealer which i like to use on anymore pigmented blemishes, i like the apply this before my foundation as i find for me it give the best finish, i also find that this product last for ages and for a great bonus this product only costs £1.99 so i find it such a bargain i buy mine from superdrug but when looking on their website their was no sign of this product.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
I love to use this concealer under my eyes when they are looking darker than normal, also because i apply this after my foundation i also like to add it to any blemishes that has not been covered from the foundation, this has a great consistency. i use my in medium as i find that it is the best match for me, this product costs £3.69 from boots which is a bargain for such a great product.




                    Foundation...

                Revlon Colourstay Foundation

I discovered this foundation in 2011 and i absolutely loved it every since the day i brought it, i use colour 200 and just find it suit my skin tone perfectly the foundation covers and last throughout my day. This foundation costs £12.49 and i buy mine from superdrug. I have a full review on this is you want to read more.

Max Factor Lasting Performance Foundation
I love using this foundation i have mine in the colour 109 which is natural bronzer this colour fits my skin well and has the slightest bit dark which works as i can also use it like a bronzer which i honestly don't tend to where but i find the colour gives the effect i am, i tend to where this foundation when i feel like i can get away with less coverage as i find that is coverage is great but not as high as i would like so i like to use it on the days where i feel like my skin will still look good, i find that it still covers any smaller blemishes that i have and last for a long time on my skin. I buy mine from superdrug and it cost £9.99 which i think is a great price.


                                              Powder...

                                            Rimmel Stay Mette

 I love love love this powder, i use mine in number 1 which is transparent as then i find that it cant add any of that cakey look because it doesn't add any colour to my skin. I love how it makes my foundation look as it gets rid of my shine and helps it last for longer. I buy mine from superdrug and it costs £3.99 which i think is an amazing price for such a great product.

Blusher...

NYC Colour Wheel 

I love using this product as a blusher as i find that it give the most natural glow which i can use for day to day, this product has also lasted me ages I've not yet finished the one that I'm using which I've had since before the start of 2011, I'm not sure on the colour of mine as the label has completely rubbed off but its the same colour as shown in the image. I no i brought mine from superdrug and it costs £3.99 which i think is a great price.

Mascara...

Max Factor False Lash

I have to say that this is properly my favourite mascara EVER which for me is something because i tend to layer my mascara as i love the big big eye lash look. This mascara makes my lashes so long and thick and if you add a few layers you do get that false lash look which i love doing, i buy mine from superdrug in the pink bottle because it just looks pretty haha and it costs £10.99.

Lips...                                

I Love Strawberry's and Milkshake                                   

I love using this product on the days that i don't want to apply any lipstick or lip gloss i just want something that will look nice and be soft and moisturising to my lips and this product does that for me. I love how it has the tiniest bit of colour to it and the smell is too die for. Another great thing about this product is it only cost 99p which is AMAZING, the only place I've ever seen the I Love products is superdrug in the shower section.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick                                                   

I don't tend to ever where lipstick but when i do it will be this colour which is A12 Sugar plum ice, this is such a moisturising lipstick which makes me love it and i love the colour as its a neutral colour but has a pinkie tint to it. I'm not sure where mine is from but looking on the superdrug website i couldn't find this line and the boots do sell it but not the colour so I'm not sure where you can get it but this line costs £5.19 from boots.

Hair...

Tresemme Salon Finish

I love using this hair spray as i find that it gives great hold to the hair when needed but can be brushed out so easily, i use this all the time even if I'm hair straight because i like to make sure it stays straight and it doesn't make my hair hard or stiff. I buy mine from boots and it costs £2.69.

Tresemme Heat Defence

This is the only heat defence that I've ever used i use this just before i dry my hair and anytime that I'm apply heat with either straightening or curling my hair. I love the smell that this has and it helps to protect my hair. I buy mine from boots and it costs £4.99.

Perfume...

Miss Dior Eau de Parfum 50ml

This has been one of my favourite perfumes for probably about 2 years and i just love the smell off it, i don't now how to describe perfume but on the Dior website it says that this perfume is the sharp charm of fresh, fruity, citrus patchouli into blossoming floral noted, then on to a noble elegance of patchouli, before finally concluding with a musk. To me that means nothing but if it does to some then that's what it smells of, I'm not sure where mines brought as my mum buys mine each of my birthdays but for the 50ml which i have it costs £60.50 from boots.

So they are my main favourites that I've used throughout 2011.
