Recent Beauty Buys

Hi,

I thought I'd show you all a few purchases I have made recently. I've been looking for a new foundation for a while but I really wanted to get my colour matched. I went to my local Boots and was recommended the Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation in New Ivory. I used this for the first time to day and so far so good. It was still in place after I finished work so I'm happy. It will be interesting to see how it lasts when the weather warms up though. Its got really good coverage (medium to full) but it does cling to dry patches. I didn't have time to apply my primer this morning so I'm hoping this will not normally be a problem.

Whilst in boots I also bought the No7 Quick Thinking make up remover wipes. Another product I have just tried today. I quite like them so far as they're quite large wipes it wakes it easier to remove a full face of make up. I didn't wear any mascara today though so that's when the big test will come. I have really sensitive skin so I'll know how good these wipes are in a few days.

I bought Radox Shower Smoothies in Island Indulgence which smells delicious but I didn't take a photo and I'm yet to use it. I picked up the Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara which was on offer for £5 at the time. Its not very impressive but I decide it would do as I just needed something to last me till payday. I think the faults with this mascara are that the formula is a little to wet and the brush is a little to large.

I hit the pound shops too as I love having a nosey at what make up they've got it. I usually get quite a few bargains there.

I got the Rimmel Blusher in Winter Glow (I think) there was also a summer version in some of the other shops but I'd already purchased this one.

NYC Chroma Glow which is a really nice highlight. Photo taking effort were very unsuccessful as you can tell.

Wet and Wild Beauty Benefits eyeshadow trio and loose powder set.

And finally a cutlery tray I bought for my desk to fit my make up in. I put it in the slide out tray where the keyboard is supposed to go. This contains my day to day beauty products.
