It has been just over three months since I last featured any new products that I have purchased. Back then I think I alluded to the fact that I was trying to save a bit and not spend as freely as I had been doing and I have to say I think I’ve done pretty well. Of course, I had a birthday pop up in between that time period which made not buying any treats a lot easier.
There are a few items here that are necessary for my eyes whereby Batiste Dry Shampoo makes an appearance once again along with a repurchase of the Seventeen Stay Time Concealer. Speaking of Seventeen there was an offer running in Boots when I picked these up a few days ago so I also picked up the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint which I’d heard quite a lot about. Sadly I have tried this already and my first impression isn’t that great. I’ve tried it under my eyes to help combat those dark circles but I find it to be quite a dry formula which made it difficult to blend in such a fragile area. I will persevere with it and apply a more hydrating eye cream in that area to see if it helps somewhat but at the moment I’m not too impressed.
Along with products that are easily obtained in Boots I also on a whim picked up a lip liner from Rimmel. This wasn’t a planned purchase however seeing as I don’t own any lip liners and have been wearing lipstick more I decided it was time to invest in one. I say invest like it was a pricey purchase but this was super cheap and has turned out to be quite a nice liner too. The Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in the shade Eastend Snob was the shade that appealed to me most as it is a mauve pink nude which happens to be one of my favourite shades to wear so I knew it would suit a lot of my lipsticks that I own.
Onto more luxurious treats I had saved some of my birthday money to treat myself to something from Charlotte Tilbury. I decided on the blusher ‘Sex on Fire’ as the muted pink tones will complement my skin tone nicely and should work really well for the autumn time. The lipstick was a prize that I won from the beautiful Aimee a few weeks ago, she helped me pick out the shade ‘Bitch Perfect’ which as the name would suggest is pretty perfect. If you like your nude shades like me then this is definitely a shade that will appeal to you.
What have you treated yourself to recently?
