Boots Haul, April 2013

Hi,

Today I have a boots haul, I went in specifically to try the Vichy DermaBlend foundation, which is a high coverage foundation, which is said to be good at covering up spots, so I'm hoping that it will work for me!

I got the lightest colour, which is 15 Opal, which upon first looks seams like an ok colour for me.

I was then looking at the skin care, and found the Anti-Blemish range from Sk:n, it's a brand I've heard about but never tried before, so I though I would give it a go considering that it is on offer at the moment. 

I picked up the Maintenance Serum, which you basically use in the morning on your blemish prone areas, to help to improve, or prevent  spots.  Finally I picked up the Nivea lip butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. 

I have already tried the lip butter, and it smells lovely!

So that's all I picked up in Boots today, but I could have easily spent a lot moor, if I hadn't been careful! 

What have you picked up recently, would you like me to review any of these products?

Review:NIVEA Express Hydration Primer

Hi,

Today I am going to be reviewing the Nivea Express Hydration Primer, which launched towards the end of 2012, and I picked it up around October time, and Love it and have used it everyday!

I really like the packaging which is a glass jar (not ideal for traveling), and doesn't have any SPF in which means it is good for photographs- however it is important to have SPF somewhere else in your routine!
As well this works well over moisturizer as some primers don't!

The consistency is similar to a lotion and adsorbs into the skin very quickly and I think that it really does help you make-up last longer and go on a lot easier!Also you need very little and I think that this jar will last me about 4 months in total.

This Primer is available from Boots, Superdrug and supermarkets and costs £4.99- which I think it is a bargain.

Have you tried this primer?

Maria's make-up remover series-6- Boots Simply Sensitive Face Wipes

Hi,

This is the next part of my make-up remover series, which I started last year.  Today I am going to be reviewing the Simply Sensitive Face Wipes which is a Boots Brand, and cost £2.79 but are currently half price at £1.39 which is what I paid for them.

I really like these wipes, as what the name suggest they are sensitive, and are great for taking make-up off the eye area, especially water-proof mascara, which I wear everyday and they leave your face feeling fresh and clean.

I also think that they are very similar the the Simple make-up wipes which are £3, so even when the Boots or Simple one's are not on offer they are still cheaper!  However I would say that they Simple wipes are a little thicker but I don't think that this makes a big difference!

Overall I highly recommend these wipes and will defiantly be picking up a few more packs while they are on offer!

What are your favourite make-up wipes? or do you just buy the ones that are on offer?

No7 Cream Blush-Blossoming Pink

Hi,

Today I am going to be reviewing the No7 Cream Blush in Blossoming pink, Which is part of the No7 spring collection.  I think that this blush which is more of a coral, adds a nice touch of colour to your cheeks and, works as a nice base under a powder blush!

I also really like the packaging, with the flowers, which is what the cardboard sleeve also looked like.
This product is available from Boots stores, and costs £10.

Review:Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer

Hi,
This is my review of the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer.  This concealer is available from Boots and Superdrug in the UK, and costs around about £4-£4.19.
I really love this concealer for three main reasons:
1)the price
For such a good product, the price is amazing.
2)the high quality
Does exactly what it says on the tube, covers spots and helps to even out skin tone- and dark circles!
3) easiness
Has a doe foot applicator meaning that you can apply on the go with out a brush!

Overall I would defiantly recommend this product, as it helps you to achieve flawless result- on a budget!

Review: Witch Face Primer

Hi
Today I am going to be reviewing the Witch anti-blemish Skin Clearing Primer.
This primer is available from Boots, Superdrug and supermarkets in the UK, which costs £6.99 for 30ml.
http://www.boots.com/en/Witch-Anti-Blemish-Skin-Clearing-Primer-With-Witch-Hazel-Extract-30ml_1160734/
I really like this primer, this is because the cream texture is not to thick, as does not take long to absorb, also I feel that it has started to clear up my spots since I have started using it.
Also I really like the pump packaging.
Overall I really like this primer so far, and feel it is one of the better primers I have used.

Review: ELF Primer

Hi
This is my review of the ELF Mineral infused face primer this product is available from www.eyeslipsface.co.uk and costs £6 and there is 14g's of product.
I like this product as it is not very thick and it dries in quickly, as it is a gel type formula as a posed to a cream.
The down side of this product is that it is a pump meaning that it does not allow you to get all of the product out, and you can only order it online.
Overall I would recommend this product as I do feel that it helps your make-up to stay on longer, but wish it had better packaging.

Review: Maybelline super stay 24h

Hi,
This is my review of the Maybelline super stay 24h.  This foundation is available from Boots and Superdrug and costs £9.19
http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Superstay-24hour-Foundation_1042352/

I really like this foundation, it is a medium to heavy coverage, it conceals smaller spots, but the coverage is not heavy enough to cover bigger spots therefore, you may also require concealer with this foundation.

Review: ELF professional total face brush

Hi this is my review of the ELF professional total face brush , which is available from http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/

I got mine in the mineral starter kit, but you can get it in the regular range for £1.50.

I think that is a good brush, for applying mineral foundation.
And it washes well but it can shred abit.
