Mini Drugstore Boodle

I was in town the other day and picked up a few things that caught my eye. It was weird cause there weren't many things that caught my attention that day. I'm starting to find that I prefer shopping online more than in store. Which is not good cause I like to see, feel and swatch products first but given where I live its a little hard to do that. That aside, I picked these little goodies up...

I walked into Primark. And only walked out with was this pretty clutch. I think it's been around for a while but somehow I had never really taken notice of it. It's nice and big. It's a sexy colour and it cost me £3.00. Nuff said!

Any one tried Myfacecosmetics yet? They are stocked in Boots. A new brand by Charlotte Tilbury. Not everything is brilliant but I do love their medium/dark blushes. I have one already called "Her name is Rio" and every single time I use that blush someone asks what I'm wearing. It is my go to blush. Might need to get my first back up now that I think about it! Anyway I bought "Night fever" which is this rich coral-ly/red colour. Seriously. It is divine. Gonna do a FOTD with it soon.

Boots recently reformulated its No17 eyeshadows. I have a few already and they work pretty well over a base. That blue colour you see there called "Regal" fueled it all. I swatched it in store and it was instant love. Bought the Silver glitter eyeshadow called "Night Sky" cause it was pretty and could work well when I do a Deep navy blue smokey eye. Tried a quick 2 min look and this is what it looks like on:-

*I got no foundation on. I quickly filled in my brows and slapped the colour on my lids over some UDPP*

Pictures are clickable if you dare....

Partially naturelle. Is there such a thing?!

The silver has a taupe-y shade to it. Nice and glittery and soft. Gotta watch the payoff. The blue eyeshadow on the other hand is physically hard man! It acts almost like an over baked eyeshadow. Took forever for me to get a decent amount brush. Then I had to pack it on to get the colour payoff I wanted. The colour was exactly how I imagined it. [after pack-age] It's absolutely beautiful!!!

BUT. It.creased.on.me.

Over UDPP.

What the ja-funk?!!?

I know it's past midnight but this is serious. Either is a pretty poo eyeshadow or my eyesight is getting bad.... I'm secretly gutted! It's such a pretty colour! Funny thing is hubby pointed out that I have a pretty similar colour in my Barry M collection. I think it's called Midnight. I'm going to have to pull it out and see how that works for me instead....

Must run. My bed is calling my name!!!!

Hi guys!!!

How y'all doing!?!? Well I is good! It's a pretty day today and I decided to get out bright and early and get myself into town for a little bit of retail therapy! It's a haul I didn't really plan for it was fun!

My local superdrug doesn't stock Sleek so a lovely friend of mine bought the new Safari palette for me and it arrived today in the mail! [Thanks Madu!]

For me it is very strange to buy brown goldeny lipsticks. But today these particular colours caught my eye. [Before you say it, I am not mellowing out!] A few swatches for you...

Bourjois Lipgloss, Rimmel creme eyeshadow, L'oreal Powder Creme blush

That first purple lipstick is like Amethyst from Sleek and I think thats a pretty close dupe for Violetta. Any one correct me if I'm wrong. The no 134 lipstick on the far end is the one i'm loving the most. It won't show on here but it is quite red and looks delicious. The other two are just as nice but hey you know my favorites.

The Bourjois lipgloss feels really nice and soft on the lips. I'm wearing it as I type and I think its gonna be a keeper. The Rimmel creme eyeshadow will work well as an all over colour or colour base. I'm disappointed that the L'oreal didn't show up on here. It is so so so pretty!!!! Hopefully they'll be a FOTD with it featuring sometime.

As for the Safari palette y'all know that I will do a full FOTD for ya!!!

Stay blessed lovelies!
