Superdrug Haul..

I went into Superdrug today and I picked up a few things!

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara: The Colossal Cat Eyes. £5.99
Superdrug were doing this on offer with £2 off the retail price so I thought that I would give it a go. I have almost run out of my Urban Decay Big Fatty Lash Mascara and I felt like I needed to go back to a high street brand just to compare them. I love the packaging of this one, although I have never tried a mascara with a curved brush so this was interesting. I tried it out and so far it looks pretty good, my lashes seem thickerand longer!

MUA Pearl Eyeshadow in Shade 12.  £1.00
I love the Make Up Academy range in Superdrug, everything is £1 and to be honest I was so surprised with the quality! This eyeshaodw looks really interesting in the pan and even more interesting when applied. Basically it is a dupe of MAC's Club but a cheaper version. I still cannot get over the fact that this is £1. Anyway this eyeshadow is brown red with a green/blue pearl sheen through it. It is a very interesting shade actually because it looks incredibly off with you first apply it but the light changes the colour throughout the day. This eyeshadow is so pigmented, I mean really for a quid its marvelous. I just had to give it a try!

MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Pencil in Turquoise. £1.00
Again I love the Make Up Academy products, I don't own a decent turquoise eyeliner and I thought to myself, why buy this one. It is very highly pigmented and I love how it has a sharper in the lid, very useful!

MUA Lipstick in Shade 11. £1.00
So as I picked up the eyeliner and the eyeshadow I needed something else...and this lipstick looked really good in the swatch. It is a nude gum pink colour and I was interested in the texture of this lipstick. I have seen many people on YouTube talk about these lipsticks so I wanted to test them out myself. This colour is perfect for daywear and it hydrated my lips very well. I love how there is a little surprise pot of lipgloss at the bottom...most brands don't have that (well the brands that I know anyway...) For some reason the pictures show  a more red pink but I assure you that this is more a pink/nude than a red colour!

The top colour is the mini gloss in the tube and the bottom colour is the lipstick itself. :)


Impulse Body Spray in Loving Words (£1.19) and Batiste Dry Shampoo in Boho (£1.45)
These were on offer and I was running out of them. The Loving Words body spray was new in Superdrug and it smells good. But I still think that the 'Tease' body spray is my favourite. I have never tried this variety of the dry shampoo and I prefer the smell of this one to the original. Although the Brit one smells exactly like the Chloé Eau de Parfum. (What a rip off!)

 

On another unrelated note, I also picked up a huge 21oz candle from TK Maxx. It's the For Every Body range in the Apple Pie scent and it was only £5.99. It is sooo lovely and makes my room smell like pie and winter!  I am really into candles at the moment, I will probably go for a huge Yankee Candle after this one is finished. I love TK Maxx they have the most awesome candles there and at awesome prices. I mean 21oz of CANDLE its such a huge jar that I had to go and put it in my car halfway through my shopping because it was so heavy.

I hope that you are all well. I am just enjoying some Supernatural Season 4 on DVD. God I love Castiel!
