So, Boots had an offer whereby if you spent more than £10 on Rimmel cosmetics you bagged yourself a free Scandal Eyes mascara.
Not one to miss out on good deal I purchased 2 other items to get my freebie :)
I prefer nude or pinky tones and so decided on the Rimmel 'Vinyl Gloss' in the shade 'Snog'
It has a nice consistency to it and goes on really well by itself or over the top of a lipstick.
2) Rimmel BB Cream (Shade: Light)
I've heard so much hype over BB creams and have been stalling on trying one out...I just don't believe they do what they say they do!
The Rimmel one claims to be 9 products in 1....its pretty decent if you want light coverage but I found I had to touch it up throughout the day and by the end of a 12 hour shift I was pretty much makeup free :(
3) Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara in Black
Great mascara, no clumps as it says. Love the packaging.
The fact that I got it free makes it even better! Definitely recommend it and I regret not trying it out sooner!
I've bought so many bits online this month I've lost track and keep getting little packages every day...it's like Christmas every time I open one!
I've just picked out my favourite ones to tell you about...
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer
This product was discontinued a while ago...and it's getting harder and harder to get hold of it.
However, I've managed to find a couple of stockists on Ebay and luckily I can use a couple of shades so I'm not limited to which one I buy!
It's my all-time favourite concealer and I wouldn't be without it. It blends brilliantly on top or underneath foundation and hides any type of spot or blemish.
'Beauty Blender' spongeI've heard a lot about these and was dying to try one.
They're ideal for liquid foundation and are designed for different parts of your face. One end is wider for areas like your cheeks and the opposite end is more pointed for areas such as your nose and eye creases.
I find that wetting the sponge before you use it stops it from absorbing your foundation before you use it.
I still prefer brushes, but I vary these with the sponge now depending on the finish that I'm after.
I've also bought a couple of new brushes this month.
A stipple brush (which I use to blend my highlighting and contouring)
Kabuki powder brush
I hope you've enjoyed a little insight in to my spending this month...If you have any recommendations for me then please do contact me, I love trying out new products! :)
