Boots and The Body Shop Haul

The other day I went to my nearest shopping center with my friends (Brent Cross), and it wasn't really a proper shopping trip so I didn't actually look at clothes, but I did come back with some nice new makeup!

In boots I found this L'Oreal Super Liner which is great because its like a thin felt tip, so I can easily line my eyes and wing it out. I do already have a mac gel liner with a brush but I find it hard to wing out the line so this liner is absolutely perfect for me. I also got this bright red and very scary Rimmel London lipstick from the Kate Moss line, which I bought because I was bored of natural makeup and wanted to get something more bold. And it did pay off, as it looks better than I expected it to. The texture is quite dry though, so make sure if you do buy this that you moisturise with a lip balm first. And since it is such a bold colour, I just dab it on or use a brush instead of putting it straight on, otherwise it looks a bit clownish. But yeah if you're thinking of changing up your look but are too scared, do it!

And then I went to The Body Shop not in search of anything but only because my friend wanted to buy something for his mum, so these 3 eye shadows I got were an impulse buy. I'm sort of regretting buying the eye shadow on the right, as you can barely tell its on and I wanted a brighter matte white to highlight the inner corners of my eye and brow bone, but this colour isn't really suited for that. Instead I'm just going to use it as a base if I want to create a very natural smokey eye. But I really like the other two colours, which give a light wash of shimmer over your lids instead of being really overbearing like a lot of other dark shadows. While I was in The Body Shop I found a really nice fragrance called Japanese Cherry Blossom which I hadn't seen before, but unfortunately had run out of money by then so I couldn't get it, but it smells amazing so if you're looking for a new perfume I recommend that one.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed reading this and that it was helpful, I really recommend the products I got from boots and the two eye shadows, however with the lighter one only get it if you want a natural everyday look.
