Drugstore Haul & Mini Review


Hi guys :)


This is stuff I bought while I was in England. I think nearly everything is from Superdrug but I don't have the receipts so I don't have the prices.. Sorry! I have used most of the products at least once so I'll write a mini review for each. Hope you enjoy :)


Sleek Blush (Flamingo) :

I love all of the sleek blushes. They have the most amazing pigmentation for the price! This is a beautiful raspberry colour that looks really good with a lot of lipsticks. This is my favourite colour from the ones I purchased!


Sleek Blush (Rose Gold) :

This is quite a good dupe for Nars 'orgasm' when it's on the skin. It is very shimmery and I prefer matte shades. I love this when it is applied with a light hand though.. It's beautiful! This blusher would look really good on tanned skin. Again, it's insanely pigmented and such good value!


Sleek Blush (Pixie Pink) :

I love this colour so much! It's very similar to MAC 'Dolly Mix' but it's a matte version which I love :) This looks great on all skintones. I will definitely be buying more Sleek blushes in the near future!


Maybelline Baby Lips (Cherry Me) :

I was so happy when I found out that we were FINALLY getting the baby lips products! I've literally been waiting for about two years to get my hands on these :) The formula is so moisturising and they all smell amazing! This one is my favourite scent and it gives a nice hint of colour!


Maybelline Baby Lips (Peach Kiss) :

I actually really love this colour as a lipstick. It's more pigmented than I thought and it's so creamy! I also bought the mint version but it has no colour so I didn't include pictures. I use the mint one everyday before I put my lipstick on and I find my lipstick goes on so much smoother and it even lasts a bit longer!


Maybelline Baby Lips (Pink Punch) :

I love the colour of this one. It is a lot more pigmented that I expected and the scent is lovely and fruity. It looks really good on the lips and it applies just like a lipstick. These are really good lip balms and I think they're priced fairly. They usually retail for about £3/€4 and I'm happy to pay this again and again! This is a really good product!


Collection Eyeshadow Pencil :

This product is absolutely amazing! I don't know what the colour is because it doesn't say it anywhere but I would describe it as a pencil version of MACs 'Vanilla' eyeshadow. It is 100% waterproof and a really good base. I'm definitely going to buy the rest of colours in the range.


Eylure False Lashes (145) :


Naturalites 145
I don't think I've ever tried this exact pair but Eylure is one of my favourite false eyelash brands. I thought I would try them out because you get an extra pair for the same price! They look very dramatic and I'm excited to use them :)


Accessorize Baked Bronzer Duo (Bondi) :


Left with flash...Right without flash
I bought this because it reminded me of a MAC Mineralize Skinfinsh. It has a lovely finish that's not too powdery. I would use this as an eyeshadow as well as a highlight. I think it would look lovely with blue eyes. The only thing I don't like about this product is the smell. It smells VERY chemical and almost like paint. It is a lovely colour though so I can get over the smell!



Thank you so much for reading :)

Love,
