Make-up Haul

Hey Guys,

It's Daisy, a couple of weeks ago I went shopping; the main purpose of the shopping trip was to buy some rough tops and jeans for my geography trip but i've recently been thinking about how i'd like to get back into make-up. I thought i'd buy a little 'starter' kit and build my collection from there, here's what I bought from Boots and my mini reviews.

                            


 The only thing i've been impressed with is the Rimmel 'Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara'. I only bought this because the advert really impressed me, the Rimmel adverts are really annoying because they're constantly on before my favorite programs and Rimmel have 5 new products all out at the same time, anyway the narrator said that "you can layer it up and has no clumps", this is a lot like any other mascara but for some reason this really impressed me and although I haven't worn this very much I can't fault it at all.

The other products I bought were: Rimmel Match Perfection Powder which I bought in transparent (the lightest colour) because I love being so pale even though I have actually tanned, it took me at least an hour to realise how to open it and I haven't used it much but so far so good; Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer again I bough the lightest colour but that was mainly because I have really dark circles underneath my eyes so naturally I thought the lightest colour would cover them up better but unfortunately it didn't work, however if I bought the right colour for me I'm sure it would have worked fine as I've heard wonderful review about the Wake Me Up foundation. 

I next bought 2 Rimmel Soft Kajal eyeliners (in brown and black) for my waterline because i'm rubbish at applying it to my lids, but because I bought the soft ones and not the waterproof they won't take to my waterline and I'm struggling using them, next time I would consider buying the waterproof version; finally make-up wise I bought 2 Natural Collection lipsticks but unfortunately I can't find on the boots website, I would really like some coral lipsticks but I wasn't willing to pay £5.00 for a lipstick at Maybelline or Rimmel so I wondered on over to the Natural Collection stand to look at their cheap lipsticks, I found the closest coral colour I could find which was 'Sorbet' and a dark nude colour in 'Apple Blossom' for £1.99, I would not recommend these lipsticks because they don't apply creamy or smoothly onto the lip at all, you can see the lipstick marks across your lips and 

when you rubs your lips together you can feel horrible little bits in them which isn't a nice feeling. Next time I would definitely pay extra for a lipstick and I'm considering buying the Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Lipstick because the reviews give a brilliant impression, they're cheap (£2.99) and the packaging looks nice which is always important and soon the Maybelline Baby Lips will be in the UK which i'm looking forward to because they're perfect for school as they moisturise your lips as well as give a hint of colour and I've signed up for an email as soon as they're out. 

I have also bought a few clothes/accessories which I will post about very soon.

Love Holly and Daisy x
