Cherry Pie : Drugstore Haul

Drugstore Haul

Drugstore haul

So, this past weekend, like every other weekend, I decided to pop into Boots. There's one only about five minutes away and I usually have a quick peek in there on a Saturday or Sunday and pick up things that I definitely don't need and definitely can't afford!

Recently I've been scouring blogs and have kept a little list on my phone of products I've spotted and wanted to try out, so when I popped into Boots on the Saturday just gone I managed to tick a few off my list! I really wanted to get my hands on the Maybelline Big Eyes Palette in Luminous Brown and spotted the little beauties on the shelves recently. I picked up the shade Luminous Brown, which is pretty much my usual sort of brown/copper colours. The palettes have a light catching primer in them so I'm really interested to try these out.

I also really wanted to pick up the Seventeen Super Lash Mascara, which was on a special introductory offer for £4.99 with a free Super Lash Liner. Bargain, but unfortunately I made the rookie error of picking up a brown/black shade instead of pure black. SO ANNOYING!! I'm going to try it out anyway as I can't take it back now that the wrapping has been taken off. I'm such an idiot!! I guess I can always go over the lashes with a black if I really need to. Maybe the Seventeen Lash Lacquer will finally come in handy.

The nib of the Superlash Liner is really interesting. It's pretty much just a felt tip for your eyes, so I'm very interested to see what look I can get from this. I couldn't say no to a freebie so I'm definitely going to try it out and if I don't like it then I'm sure I can find a good home for it.

Last, but not least, I picked up the Seventeen Eye Eye Crayon in Platinum, which I almost forgot about until I checked my list on my phone in the middle of the store. I then saw it staring out at me. I love the white packaging of this pencil and the typography. Lovely! Can't wait to try it out.

What's in your shopping basket this week?

  6. I've never seen a Maybelline palette packaged like that! It looks so cool :)
    The mascara looks really nice (other than it being in the wrong shade!) I'd love to hear more about it!

  7. I've got the Seventeen mascara & liner last week too when I bought a few items that I treated myself too :) the mascara is really good for giving me length but it can be clumpy & have excess mascara on the brush :/ but I'll find a way to bypass it :) the liner looks so good doesn't it ? I like that it looks like a felt tip pen :) hopefully it'll be easier to apply too & i won't struggle to put liner on my eyes now haha :P

  9. Ooooh, please do a review on the eye crayon please! I'd love to see if it's an alternative to the Collection shadow sticks! But in other news the black/brown in the 17 mascaras almost looks grey on me? It might not be the same for you but I just thought I'd mention that!
