Walking into Boots, knowing that i have double discount today (Im a boots employee!) Its extremely hard not to go crazy and buy the whole shop. However i kept my cool and tried to only buy a few essentials (makeup is essential right?)
Heres what i bought..
I also had money on my Boots Advantage Card so thought i'd spend those today since i was in a bigger Boots than the one i work in.
Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose
The new fragrance from Emporio Armani, a version of the original Diamonds but with a more floral scent. I feel it is a great summer fragrance and not too heavy. I got the 30ml bottle with my points which is great handbag size for women with a busy lifestyle.
According to the Boots website it has juicy tones of raspberry and blackcurrant, which gives it a sweet scent yet with Bulgarian rose and Lilly it has the floral notes.
Real Techniques Expert Face brush
I would highly recommend any brush from the Real Techniques collection! They are so soft on the skin and apply makeup to the skin perfectly, i would also say they are reasonably priced at around £9 a brush (this varies) as i would say they are just as good as the Sigma and Mac brushes.
I have heard great reviews on YouTube and other bloggers for the expert face brush, and since this was one of the only brushes i don't have from this range i thought id give it a go!
Rimmel London 60 seconds and Lasting Finish
Ive never owned any Rimmel nail varnishes before so lets hope they don't chip! picked up two colours as they were buy one get one half price.
Left Lasting Finish 200-Orange Your Life.
Great bright coral for summer!
Right 60 seconds 210- Ethereal.
Pearly pink natural colour.
Revlon Lip Butter 027 Juicy Papaya
Revlon lip butters are one of my favourite brands for lipsticks, they glide on so smoothly and keep your lips moisturised. I have extremely dry lips and find that lipstick colour clogs throughout the day which doesn't look very attractive! However i love how the lip butters stay fresh on my lips for hours.
I tend to buy bright colours so thought i would go for a more nude coral colour this time!
Maybelline The Eraser Eye- Perfect and Cover Concealer
Shade- Nude
This is a anti age product from Maybelline. Obviously being 21 i don't have any wrinkles round the eyes, but picked up this product as it claims to conceal dark circles.
Botanics Facial Brush
I have been so tempted to go out and buy this for a while, the bristles are soft and i have sensitive skin that breaks out with any harsh scrubbing. I would say this is a cheaper option for the clarisonic.
Botanics mattifying Gel Cream- Shine Away
I have Oily Skin, that breaks out so easily!! So i thought i would try a gel cream as usually normal creams make my face a shiny mess. The texture of this seems odd at first but soaks into the skin instantly. I usually swear by the Michael Todd range for skincare products as they cleared up my acne prone skin great! However i ran out of my moisturiser (Moisture Lite) so needed a quick fix till i can order more off the Michael Todd website.
AND FINALLY!!!
Nivea In- Shower Body Moisturiser
This is perfect for people like me who are slightly lazy at moisturising after a shower, leaves skin feeling soft and silky!
Hope you enjoyed my little Boots haul, Thanks for reading
