Dear beauties,

I thought I'd post my first cheeky little haul today! It's only a little one, but I had a few spare moments the other day when I was wandering around town in between rehearsals and meetings, so I popped into Boots and ended up picking up a few bits and bobs! I will provide links to everything down at the bottom. (By the way, sorry for the stock photos, I'm at uni and accidently left my camera at home!)

First thing I got was 'Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Concentrated Cream' - basically a gorgeous little hand cream in a perfect handbag size.

I absolutely love this little hand cream, I've been getting some dry skin on the back of my hands recently with the weather and it soothes it beautiful. Also, it smells like CHOCOLATE, which is glorious. I haven't really been using it long enough to talk about long-term results but at the moment I think it's fabby.

Pros -

Lovely size

Soothing and moisturising

Choccie Woccie smell!

Cons-

None so far!

Next I got the 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation' - I got it in 'Soft Beige'. This was because I had just run out of my Estee Lauder one, the one I usually buy, and even though I'm very much a high-end foundation girl (Not because I'm a snob, because I find it so difficult to match my skintone myself!) I thought I would go for a cheeky high street buy.

I'm not a massive fan at the moment of this foundation to be honest. It's okay, and it will do for an emergency foundation, and it does last a long time, yet the colours are not a great range, I went for the second lightest as I do have fairly pale skin but I'm not porcelain, and it still looks a bit orange. It's also a little bit dry, so it's good if you want a really matte finish, but it does not lend itself to a glow.

Pros - 

Long-lasting

Matte finish

Cheap as chips

Cons -

Very small colour range - orange toned

A bit dry, very very matte.

Next I bought 'Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Eyeliner'

This eyeliner is really nice and cute. It goes on easy, and has a nice thickness of line. There's not too much you can say about it to be honest, it's a good buy, and is good value if you just want a standard liner with a standard thickness.

Pros-

Good colour

Cheap

Goes on easily

Stays all day and all night!

Easy to take off

Cons -

Not very thin so difficult for real precision lining, but for all other uses it is good.

Finally I a cheeky bit of hair dye! Not permament mind, only semi, because I'm a wimp! Nah, sometimes I think it's just nice to wash a little semi-permanent through my hair to give a fresh, new glow, and with hardly any damage at all.

The colour of this is gorgeous, and the shine is lovely! It's so easy and quick to do, with lovely results. My only qualm is that I think the colours are often a couple of shades darker than advertised, at least for the first two weeks or so, so maybe by a shade slightly lighter than the one you're going for if you're a bit scared of being too dark?

Pros -

Easy to apply

Strong, glossy colours

Pretty cheap

No unpleasant dye smell

Cons -

Shades are a bit darker than advertised

Stains EVERYTHING it touches!

And that's it! Just a little haul for now, but I may do a clothes one soon, exciting!

Lot's of love, and feel pretty always,

Abi x
