Makeup Haul and Review!

Helloooo my lovely readers, how is everyone's weekend going?
I would just like to say a HUGE thank you for helping me reach 2000 views! I love writing these blogs and knowing that people read and enjoy them helps me to make them better for you.
As you can tell from the title, I went shopping again which is going to be a theme for these two weeks which I hope you will enjoy. All of the stuff that I will be showing you is from Superdrug and Boots.
And before we start I just want to say i'm sorry that the pictures are a bit blurry the lighting wasn't very good and this is the best I could do. I hope you enjoy.

These are the items that I purchased. Starting from left to right:
-Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL volume.
-N07 soft and soothed Toner.
-Biore deep cleansing Pore strips.
-Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Lips in shade Sirius.
-MUA luxe Velvet lip lacquer in shade Funk.
-Boots own blending brush.
-MUA bronzed perfection.


The first product I will be reviewing is the Batiste Dry shampoo XXL volume. I ran out of dry shampoo so was just going to buy my normal one but when I saw this I wanted to give it a try. My hair can sometimes look very flat especially when its close to needing a wash. This dry shampoo refreshes the hair and gives it more life by adding a lot of volume to it. It works really well if you spray it onto your hair and brush it through with your fingers instead of a brush. It is a much thicker spray than the normal dry shampoo and does leave you hair with  a very dry feeling to it but it lasts for ages and keeps the volume in your hair. I purchased this product from Superdrug and it cost me £1.97.



Lately I have got into cleansers and toners. I have tried all sorts of brands and I find them very good for my face. I normally take my makeup off with a wipe and then use a cleanser and a toner and it takes off any makeup that gets deep into your pores and means you are cleaning your face completely. My mum was nice enough to give me a voucher for Boots which gave you £5 off any N07 skincare products so of course I had to go and take a look at what they had. I brought this toner because it says soft and soothes gentle toner which is great because i have very sensitive skin so products can't be too strong. This normal costs £8 but with my £5 voucher it only cost me £3.



I have been wanting to try these Barry M Gelly Lipsticks for a while because I have heard very good things about them. At the moment they have an offer in Superdrug for 3 for 2 on all makeup products so you can mix and match between all of the brands and that is what I did. This lipstick is in shade 4 Sirius. It is a lovely redish pink and would be a lovely color for the summer. It is a very creamy and soft formula and can be applied to the lips very easily. They have many different shades and they cost £4.99.


Again this was a product that I have been wanting to try for a while. My friend recommended it to me for a great affordable bronzer. It is a lovely golden brown color and works perfectly on my face to give it more defined features. It is the perfect shade for summer and I will be using it a lot. Again it was in the Supedrug 3 for 2 offer and it costs £3.  




This was the final product I purchased in the 3 for 2 offer. The MUA luxe velvet lip lacquer in shade Funk. It is a beautiful hot pink that is soooo pigmented its crazy. When I first tested this product I was so amazed at how pigmented it was for the price. After a few seconds they start to go matted and they stay on your lips for hour. They are very hard to take off but that is good because you know they will stay on for ages. They do many other shades and they cost £3.


Another product that I brought was the Biore Deep cleansing Pore strips. They are for your nose and they unclog any black heads that you have. You get 6 strips in the packet and they are very easy to use. You place then on your nose after you have washed your face and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then once you take it off most of your black heads with go with it. I find it very good especially when I have a lot of black heads because this product makes it very easy to get rid of them. I brought this from Boots and it normal costs £7.99 but they were on offer for £3.99. 



The final product that I brought was one of the Boots own brush and I purchased the blending brush. I wear eyeshadow a lot so I use a lot of brushes and my blending brush is becoming a bit old so I needed a new one. This costs £1.99 which is great because it is a lovely brush to use and blends the eyeshadow very easily. 

Thank you very much for reading, I hope you enjoyed this blog and it may have given you some ideas about some new products that you might want to try out.
Thank you again for the 2000 views, I appreciate it a lot and am very grateful.
Please keep reading and share my blog it would mean a lot.
Love you all <3 
Perfect and Sweet <3

  1. Do the Biore strips really work? I have such bad blackheads at the moment haha (slightly embarrassing) and I've been looking everywhere for something that will actually get rid of them and not just claim to. Would you recommend them? I love your blog :)
