Beauty Buys

Hi All,

Thought I'd show a few beauty purchases from this weekend. I apologise now for the pictures my camera isn't that good at the minute.

I made use of my £5 No7 voucher and picked up the Intense Volume Mascara which is usually £11.50. They also have a free eye palette offer with any mascara purchased so all in all a bargain at £5.50!

The mascara creates quite a natural look so I don't think it will be replacing my current favourite Rimmels Lash Accelerator Mascara which is amazing!



It doesn't clump or give you spider eyes so for the bargain price you can't complain :)

Here's the eye palette which has a nice style to it, unlike some freebies you can get. Its the smokey rose quad and the casing says "Beautiful, wearable smokey warm metallic tomes to take your look easily from day to night."




The colours look great but I'm not really impressed they don't show up well and they're all a bit too tame for me, I prefer strong eye looks.

Here are some swatches:


As you can see only the darker colour really stands out on my skin tone but I'm sure I'll get some use out of them.

I also picked up the Rimmel Kate lipstick in 08 a week or so ago. I absolutely love this the colour is perfect for me and it applys really smoothly and evenly. It has good staying power too, so this is definitely a winner in my book.




It's a nice pinky nude colour perfect for any occasion and I know I'll get plenty of use out of it.

Hope this post wasn't too bad, its my first attempt at a beauty post so fingers crossed I haven't rambled on to much or not enough :)
