Haul

Hello! Happy Easter!!

What better way to start off my blog but with a haul! On friday I went shopping and bought myself a few bits and pieces.

I started off in House of Fraser and purchased the Benefit High Beam highlighter becuase I've such great reviews about this product. I did infact go over to the MAC counter but surprisingly nothing took my fancy, I was after a fluidline but they didn't seem to have any! I also had a quick look at Bobbi Brown and very nearly got the new Shimmer Brick but I told myself to wait as Sleek do a very similar product! Plus I was more after a blusher rather than a shimmer that could only really be used as a highlighter, and seeing as I'd just got the Benefit one, I thought against the Bobbi Brown.

I went into Boots next and strangely enough got attracted to Benefit once again. I needed a new foundation, so I asked the woman on the counter and she sat me down for a "makeover" type thing. She put the "Hello Flawless" powder on me, which I do have to say looked really nice and natural but I'm a sucker for liquid and expressed I prefer more coverage and couldn't rely on just a powder, so she went and got the "Some Kind-A Gorgeous" cream foundation, which adapts to your skintone and I much prefered this and at just under £20 I thought why not?

I've only worn it a couple of times so it's too early to do a full blown review but I've had nothing to complain about so far.

I did need some new brushes, so I got the Benefit foundation brush and their angled brush. I love them both, the foundation brush doesn't make the foundation streak like cheap brushes do.
I did also have my eyebrows done when I was there as well haha!

Just to stay along the lines of make up, but I didn't get these other 2 products until the end of the day as I forgot about needing them, I picked up a No.7 blush in 15 Soft Apricot and the MaxFactor Glide 'N' Define liquid eyeliner in black (love this!). Here is a picture of my make up purchases...


Okay, so onto clothes. I only got 2 tops, I was really disappointed but there really wasn't anything that suited me. They were both from Dorothy Perkins and below is a picture of them.


I also got some amaaaazing shoes from DP's, they are peach and I love them. I wore them on a night out last night and they were really easy to walk in and comfy (but I don't know if they were comfy because of the Party Feet aid?) I think the platform on them makes them really easy to walk in.


Okayyy so that's my haul! I got 3 Easter eggs but I've eaten one already, oh dear! Yummy! Gym tomorrow though!
