MAKE UP MONDAY: BEAUTY HAUL

Hey guys, i hope you all had a great weekend whatever you got up to. Yesterday my sister and i went out shopping to a place not too far from where i live called East Midlands Outlet which is basically a shopping complex full of lots of different shops but it's outside not in an enclosed "mall" type of place. So we discovered that they have a beauty outlet store there, which for any beauty addict is like being a kid in a sweet store. I noticed that they have a huge range of different products which i have never seen in UK drugstores so i assume a fair few of the brands/products are from the states (which naturally made me even more excited). If you want to find out what i bought then please keep reading...


When you first walk into the store you are naturally faced with a huge wall full of different nail polishes and i was particularly drawn to these Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro polishes as i have never seen this type of Rimmel polish before and also the shades are stunning, my sister and i got the exact same two shades.

Left: 240 English Rose
Right: 270 Steel Grey


My sister actually picked this Nail Art Pen by Sally Hanson before i did, so obviously i went back and picked one up also i went for this cool Neon Pink shade to try.


When i got to the lip products section i straight away drawn to the brand Manhattan, it's a brand i have never heard of before but when swatching some of their products i just had to get some of them in my life. I have researched a little bit about the brand and surprisingly it is a brand of cosmetics sold in all German speaking countries (i just assumed it was going to be American with it being called Manhattan haha).

Top - Bottom:
Tasty Lips in Hawaiian Blueberry
Tasty Lips in Mexican Mango
Soft Mat Lip Cream in 31S (this one didn't have a name just a number)
Colour Loop in Wildberry (how cool does this one look? reminds me of candy).


If you have been reading my posts for a while you will know that L'Oreal is one of my favourite drugstore brands so no haul would be the same without at least one item. I got the L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick in the shade 01 Fashionista Pink.


Whilst on the lipstick theme i also got this gorgeous coral/pink lipstick by Calvin Klein which is such a me colour. This lipstick is in the shade Ethereal and is from the Créme Lipstick range.


I am a huge fan of these Maybelline Silk Glam eyeshadow quads, a friend of mine bought me a few back from when she was on holiday in Florida. I have never actually seen one in a store before myself in the UK until yesterday but i have watched so many American YouTuber's using these quads. This particular quad is the one i have been wanting for so long which has made me super happy to finally get my hands on. 

Maybelline Silk Glam eyeshadow quad in the shade Coral Drama.


The next two items are not drugstore items but they are products i have been wanting to try out for a while now. Firstly the HD Brows bronzer in the shade Bronzer 2. Obviously HD Brows is most famous for their brow products but they also do other cosmetics which are such good quality and worth every penny.


The final product is from BECCA, which i have seen so many people talking about how good the brand is but i have been unsure on trying something from the range as it is pretty expensive compared to other brands. This is the Fine Pressed Powder and i am really excited to give this a try to see how it differs from my trusty Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. It also comes with a really cute little zip pouch bag.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing all the beauty items in my haul and i will be back with another blog post very soon...
