So, after seeing everyone and their brother do 'Spring Makeup Hauls' I decided to take a trip to Boots and do my own little haul. I have been using the products for a good while now and so far, so good, Having said that, I thought it was time to review them all for you!
First up, after seeing these be all the rage last Spring/Summer I decided to purchase some for myself (a year later, oops). They are Revlon Lip Butters, a lighter alternative to a lipstick. I thought these were perfect for going on holiday or keeping in your bag as a little pick me up throughout the day!
Despite only being lip butters they still give a good, bold colour as well as being super moisturizing. I ended up going for two shades, 'Tutti Frutti' and 'Berry Smoothie'. As well as going for my typical, everyday pink, I also picked up the orange for when my skin picks up a bit of colour and to shake things up a bit.
The glossy balm effect doesn't last too long, which in a way is nice as it feels like it has properly absorbed and isn't just residing on the top of the lips. The colour however lasts a lot longer and has a really nice pigment to it! I will definitely be going back to pick up a few more colours!
I have been on a powder mission for what feels like FOREVER! Having heard SO many good things about this powder I decided to take the get one for myself and see if it was worth the hype. For starters, there is no denying that it smells uh-mazing but it also leaves a lovely matte finish without being cakey that seems to last nicely throughout the day!
I got mine in the shade Vanilla, which was the lightest shade available in that particular store and for a drugstore powder, it matches my skin tone really well. I'm not 100% sure if this is the powder I've been looking for but so far, so good.
Seeing as I was getting the powder, I decided to get the concealer along side it. I tried it on the back of my hand in the shop and was surprised at just how high coverage it was! Having just experienced Soap and Glory's horrific 'Trick and Treatment' I was dying to find something else! This is in the shade 'Light Radiance' and again, I am very happy with the colour match...I would definitely recommend this concealer to anyone who wants to achieve high coverage without feeling or looking like they have the whole tube plastered on their face!
As you can probably tell, I spent 3/4 of my trip at the Bourjois stand. A sister brand to Chanel, beautiful packaging and all the products promise a healthy long lasting glow....what more could you want?! I've tried what feels like 101 primers and still haven't found the one. However, this one caught my eye as it said it was a 'serum' primer, having only used silicone primers before and not being a fan, I decided to give it a go. It feels more like a moisturiser and goes on beautifully! It just gives a real healthy glow without being greasy or sticky!
I have seen this blush in just about every single Spring Haul I have watched so far so naturally, I had to buy my own! I got it in the shade 'Lovely Pink' and I'm in love. It's more of a highlight than a blush and gives a gorgeous glow with the slightest pinky tone.
Again, I went for the lightest shade available, as being quite pale I can't normally get away with too much blush so this was the perfect colour to suit my complexion! Any baked blush, in my opinion is a blush to invest in/buy straight away!
All of these products have quickly made themselves very comfortable in my everyday makeup!
