All ready for work.. FOTD

I've got a few minutes spare before I have to leave for work so I thought I would do a FOTD which is a first for me.

 Products used:

w7 Prime Magic Face Primer

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium 3

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation (I don't know what shade!)

Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade in 3 Just Peachy!

ELF Makeup Mist & Set  

This is pretty much becomming my every day look as I don't particularly like changing my style of makeup as I like sticking to what I like best which I'm sure is the same for most people. When it quits raining and gets sunnier and hot again, I'll start using less products.

MUA Haul with SIX Free Gifts!

So it's only been four days since I last blogged about what I purchased from MUA (Read about it here) and here I am again with another haul from them. I honestly think that I will go on a spending ban now until I leave for America which I think would be a good idea as I've recently bought far too much makeup.

Over the long Jubilee Weekend, MUA was offering free 5 Jubilee themed products (Worth £5) with orders over £15 and I thought that I would take advantage of it. Here's what I ordered

MUA Love Hearts Nail Varnish in U&I

MUA Love Hearts Nail Varnish in U ROK

MUA Love Hearts Nail Varnish in U R FAB

MUA Love Hearts Nail Varnish in I WANT U

MUA Love Hearts Nail Varnish in LOVE U 24/7 

I only ordered five out of their six Love Hearts nail varnishes because I had bought their sixth one when I was in Lincoln over my birthday (Read about the haul in my 18th Birthday Celebrations Part Two) 

 MUA Lip Boom in OK.COM

MUA Brush On Concealer Pen in Radiance

Apparently OK.COM is a really good nude lipstick, or so I've read and considering the fact that I love my nude lipsticks, I thought that I would give it a go. I honestly don't know why I purchased their concealer pen when I already have more than enough concealers.. Maybe it's because it's getting glowing reviews perhaps.

Now onto the SIX free gifts

MUA Glamour Days Eyeshadow Palette*

MUA Glitter Eyeliner in Shade 9*

MUA Eyeliner in Royal Blue*

MUA Nail Varnish in Shade 6*

MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 2 Pearl*

MUA Lipstick in Shade 12*

 

I don't know if MUA knew that their free Glamour Days eyeshadow palette with orders was still running but when I placed my order, I got both the free Jubilee themed items AND the eyeshadow palette which I thought was quite generous.

MUA are currently having an order on their Lip Booms - any 2 for £4 which is a bargain when considering that they're £3 each! And they have released their long awaited new eyeshadow palette in Undressed which has some amazing colours in it! You can purchase MUA from their online shop or from any Superdrug/Superdrug online

Mini ELF Haul #2

I said in my last ELF haul (Read here) that I would order more things from them when they got an item back in stock. Now, they do have that item back in stock but they didn't when I placed this order :(

I'm so happy that it has finally arrived - well, it did arrive on Saturday but everybody was asleep when the postman tried to deliver it along with another package so I had to pick it up on Wednesday.

Here's what I got:

A little more than my last order but definitely worth it!

From L-R

ELF High Definition Powder 

"The high definition loose powder creates a 'soft focus' effect to the skin. Masks fine lines and imperfections for a radiant complexion. The incredibly soft and invisible powder is great for on screen and everyday wear."

I honestly do not know why I ordered this. Maybe it's because it claims to mask fine lines and imperfections for a radiant complexion. Now, I don't have fine lines yet but I sure do have imperfections.

ELF Studio Cream Blush in Flirt

"Smooths on as a cream and finishes as a velvety soft powder for long-lasting rich colour that's never greasy. Easy to blend for layering and building colour for sculpting, highlighting and adding dimension. Lightweight and refreshing formula looks natural and radiates a beautiful glow for all skin types."

  I remember seeing a Youtuber talking about it, saying that it's a nice colour and that it feels like play-dough and I honestly fell in love with the colour not the texture - honest! I actually own a cream bronzer which I love to pieces so I'm hoping that I'm going to love this just as much.

ELF Studio Blush in Gotta Glow

 "The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layer for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtile healthy glow."

I'm actually going to use this as a highlighter instead of a blush as this shade is meant to be very good for highlighting which is just perfect for me as my current highlighter and me do not get along very well.

ELF All Over Color Stick in Spotlight

 "Naturally illuminates for a healthy glow. Instantly soothes & conditions skin. Multi-purpose formula."

This is a product that was an impulse buy - the product that I wanted was out of stock so I thought that this would be a suitable alternative until I got the other product hence why I bought it. I haven't actually tried out their colour sticks before, despite receiving one for my birthday so I'm not too sure on what to expect from this.

Have you tried any of these products?

 

Superdrug & Boots Haul

I came back from my long weekend away with Liam with money left over. And that means that I went a little over the top with my purchases - I generally bought only one thing that I needed.. Well, I could have waited to buy it but I wanted it for back up. Two if you count using up the £5 off No7 voucher but I didn't actually need it..

Let's start off with my purchases from Boots..

 From L-R, Top to bottom

17 Instant Glow Bronzing Rocks in Pink Bronze

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent

No7 Stay Perfect Nail Varnish in Tangy 220

17 Hide Away Concealer Cream in Medium

NC Lash Build Mascara in Black

NC Lash Length Mascara in Black

NC Lash Care Mascara in Clear

Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

17 Instant Glow Brush*

* Free with any 17 Instant Glow product  

The lady who served me did not tell me at all that I got a free brush and yet I was waiting for her to tell me. So after I had paid and had my receipt, I walked back over to the 17 concession stand, grabbed the brush and walked back over to her and said that I got a free brush with it. She looked at me and said "Yeah, okay, whatever" - Now that is bad customer service if you ask me!

It's no wonder I walked over to Superdrug and took advantage of their last day of 3 for 2 across all cosmetics.

  From L-R, Top to bottom

 Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Gentle Exfoliating Wash

Collection 2000 Skyscrapers Mascara in Ultra Black

You will definitely be expecting quite a few reviews soon considering the amount of things I bought yesterday.
