Mini Haul: Maybelline, Sleek and Max Factor

I was feeling a bit sorry for myself a few weeks ago and my first thought in that situation is always to comfort buy a load of makeup (of course). The 3 for 2 was on at Superdrug and you know how much of a sucker I am for a good old 3 for 2. And then I really wanted to try one of the Sleek metallic lipsticks but they’d stopped doing them in Superdrug so I had to pop down to Boots and get one of those of course. I’m gonna be reviewing these products over the next couple weeks, so if you’re interested in seeing swatches etc then make sure you’re following! 

L’Oréal Rouge Gold Obsession Lipstick

I’d never really tried any of L’Oréal‘s lipsticks, as I tend to stick to their mascaras (like the Miss Baby Roll one which I reviewed here) as they’re my favourite brand for mascaras by far, but this lipstick just caught my eye. It was quite a weird purchase for me as I don’t really stray from my deep, dark matte reds, but when I saw the packaging it killed me a little ngl. The packaging looks really luxurious, but does the product match up? Keep reading to find out! 

Liebster Award – Take 2!

So this is just a little bonus post because (as you can probably see from the title) I’ve been nominated for the Liebster Award again! I was nominated by the fabulous warts&all ;I’m so shocked and hugely thankful as I’ve only had this blog for a year and a bit, so to get nominated at all (let alone twice) is hard to wrap my head around. I’m really excited for this opportunity to let you guys get to know me a bit better and also to help you find new and amazing blogs that you might not otherwise find. (You can check out my first Liebster Award post here).

Makeup Revolution Oil Control Setting Spray

Up until recently I’d been using setting sprays by the brand Essence (you can find my review of one of them here), but when I remembered that Makeup Revolution did setting sprays, I just had to give one a shot. The Pro Fix Oil Control Fixing Spray sounded perfect for taming my oily skin, but every time I went into Superdrug it was sold out, but I was finally able to get my hands on it; I’m really glad I did! 

July Glossybox + Spectrum Fan brush!?

So it seems that it’s officially summer as Glossybox comes at us this month with the “hello summer” box. It’s full of handy essentials for the hot days that are hopefully on the way, although British weather is full of surprises so we’ll have to see (lmao). I was also really excited about this box due to the promise of a Spectrum fan brush, as it would match my Spectrum set (which I reviewed here) perfectly. So anyway enough rambling…let’s get straight into the review!

Sleek Distorted Dreams Highlighting Palette

I was really on the fence about buying this for a while as I wasn’t sure about cream highlighters as a concept, as I know a lot of people don’t really enjoy using cream products. But I was having a really bad week a couple weeks ago and I decided why not since it was on 3 for 2 at Superdrug, and I have to admit, it’s also really pretty. I was really hoping it was gonna live up to the amazingness of the Solstice Highlighting palette, which was one of the first things I ever reviewed on my blog (you can find that here if you’re interested). 

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes – B. Brush Cleanser

I picked up this little brush cleanser in my little haul from a couple weeks ago (which you can find here) for like £3.59 in the Superdrug sale and I’ve gotta say I’m really glad I did! I used to use baby shampoo to clean my makeup brushes and that was okay, but I found it to be a bit time consuming and also they took ages to dry every time, so this was a welcome change. 

Spectrum Brushes – Are They Worth the Hype?

I’d been lusting after these beauties since I got into makeup and with my summer job I finally had enough to get my hands on this 10 piece Attention Seeker Set from Spectrum Brushes. But are they worth the hype? Keep reading to find out! 

June Glossybox + Bonus Items (We’re back!?)

So as you may have remembered from my December Glossybox post, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to continue with Glossybox bc I felt they were a bit inconsistent. However when I heard a rumour that they might be popping a cheeky Spectrum fan brush in the July one (thanks Hannah), I was sucked back into sending a present to myself every month with the offer of 50% off my first box and two bonus products. The theme of this box seems to be keeping your skin and hair looking natural and healthy, which is perfect for the transition into summer! 

L’Oréal Pure Clay Purity Mask

It’s the moment you’ve (maybe) all been waiting for…I’m finally doing a skincare post! I saw the L’Oréal Pure Clay Purity Mask on sale in Superdrug reduced to like £3.59, and I was like why not! I picked up this one because it’s supposed to mattify, and I have quite oily skin, so I thought I’d give it a go. Keep reading to see what it claims to do, and how it’s been working against the mortal enemy of oily and sensitive skin!
