ON MY BEDSIDE PT. 2

Soap&Glory Heel Genius and Hand Dream, RE-GEN Cream, MAC Lipstick in 'HUE', The Body Shop Deep Sleep body/pillow mist, Make up Revolution Bulletproof Brow Palette in 'Fair to Medium', Maybelline lip liner in 'Sweet Pink'

I did this post a few months back and I have to say that I think it's probably one of my favourite posts to do as it's simple but super pretty. 

So, here are some items that have been kept on my bedside recently and I've found myself reaching for them quite a lot. I have unbelievably dry skin over the majority of my body besides my face and so I can't even have a cheat day and not moisturise after a bath or shower, everyday is a moisturising day for me :( but I've loved using the Soap & Glory Heel Genius and Hand Dream, both smell amazing and leave my feet and hands feeling super soft. Since finally clearing my acne a few months ago besides the few pimples here and there my next mission is to banish those horrible pimples/scars that have been left behind- I've been trying the RE-GEN cream for about a month now and I have to say it's a miracle product! My skin has never felt or looked better and it was only £3.99 from Home Bargains!! 

SUPERDRUG HAUL

It's that time again! The famous 3 for 2 offer on everything is at Superdrug and I just couldn't help myself. As you've probably noticed most of my drugstore hauls are from Superdrug and the reason for this is because I am able to use my NUS student card as opposed to Boots- although I must admit I am not a fan of the points system in Superdrug I do like saving a bit of money. Anyway, enough of me blabbering and on to the haul! 

MAYBELLINE COLOR DRAMA INTENSE VELVET LIP PENCILS £4.99 

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:410 FAB ORANGE/ 420 IN WITH CORAL/ 140 MINIMALIST 

I have had my eye on these gorgeous jumbo lip pencils for a while now and admittedly had already psyched out the colours I wanted to pick up before visiting Superdrug. I particularly love how these can be used to line the lips first and then you can go in and build up the colour- 2 in 1!

LOREAL PARIS INFALLIBLE 24H-MATTE FOUNDATIONS £7.99 EACH IN 10 PORCELAIN/ BOURJOIS VOLUME CLUBBING ULTRA BLACK MASCARA £7.99 

I actually picked up the Bourjois Volume Clubbing mascara after a friend recommended it to me,her lashes always look amazing and thick without ending up clumped together so I thought i'd give it a go.
I have seen so many first impression videos and blog posts about this Loreal Infallible 24H-Matte foundation and was in search for a new foundation as my usual MAC Studio Fix Fluid had seen better days, and sadly seen as I don't live near a MAC I thought I'd try dabbling in some drugstore foundation again.

GARNIER CLEANSING MICELLAR WATER 400ML WAS £4.99 NOW £3.32

I can remember using this as part of my evening skin care routine before using my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and from what I can remember that was the time when my skin was behaving itself more times than not, so I figured why not start using it again?

COLLECTION EYES UNCOVERED NUDE PALETTE £3.99/ COLLECTION CREAM PUFF LIP CREAM 5ML IN 'COTTON CANDY' £2.99/ COLLECTION LASH LENGTHENING MASCARA 8ML IN 'ULTRA BLACK' £2.99

And now the last part of my 3 for 2 and I just had to pick up one of the Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude palette when I saw them in my local Superdrug and for a bargain! £3.99!! The shade range of these palettes are to die for as well as the pigmentation, they remind me of the Naked Basics palette but for a fraction of the price. 

The last two items I picked up were one of the Creams in 'Cotton Candy'- complete nostalgia with this as I can remember going through tubes of it whilst being at school so I clearly loved it! 
And finally I picked up one of the Collection lengthening mascaras which contains little fibres in the formula to help lengthen the lashes, admittedly I've never used a fibre mascara so I'm not really sure what to expect but I'm sure it'll feature in a future post if I'm impressed. 

  

MY FIRST CHARLOTTE TILBURY LIPSTICK & LINER COMBO

I can assure you that my bank account certainly won't be happy about this but I finally splurged and purchased my first Charlotte Tilbury lipstick and lip liner combo. 

After spending ages at their Selfridges counter gazing at the amazing shade range I finally opted for one of the Matte Revolution lipsticks in the shade 'Amazing Grace' and one of the Lip Cheat lip liners in 'Pink Venus', thus creating the perfect combo. 

They're calling this formulation the matte lipstick of the future because it gives you a modern look without the drying formula and flatness that other matte lipsticks have. 

“Enriched with new-generation 3D glowing pigments for lips that look lit-from-within and an optical ‘matte-trick’ to create the appearance of wider, fuller lips.”-Charlotte Tilbury

I can't wait to wear both of these and certainly will be investing in some more combos once my bank balance recovers!
