THINGS I'M LOVING FROM SUPERDRUG RIGHT NOW

Hello everyone! So i actually feel like it has been a hot minute since i last picked up any new makeup apart from the essentials, as i have been trying to cut back on the amount i buy because i literally have so much and it just starts to feel like a waste (if the me four years ago could hear me say this, she would probably laugh at this me). That being said i did recently pick up a couple of new makeup bits from Superdrug, as i was placing an order for some everyday essentials and i thought why not share the things i am loving from Superdrug right now...


So of course my intentions wasn't to buy any more highlighters because lets face it have so many already, that being said i simply couldn't not pick this one up after seeing it on Instagram. To say that this product is only £6 is insane, as it is extremely pigmented yet silky smooth and not at all powdery like some affordable highlighters can be. This highlighter comes as a duo with a pink-y highlight shade and then more of a light golden shade, which i have to say is my personal favourite from the palette. The packaging is also super cute, as it looks like a melting metallic chocolate bar.

If you read my recent july must-buys post then you will have already seen that i had actually ordered one of these new releases by L'Oréal in the shade Sweet Tooth. I have not fallen in love with a new liquid lipstick for so long now, but i am head over heels over this one and i just can't stop wearing it now. The shade Sweet Tooth is the most perfect light almost peach-y/beige nude colour, which is one of my favourites to wear. The formula of these liquid lipsticks are also super comfortable to wear, lightweight feeling and they also smell so dreamy just like warm chocolate smells.

I have actually mentioned this nail polish so many times in blog posts over the years, as it is a firm favourite of mine. That being said my current bottle had completely ran out and i was yet to pick another one up, so i had been reaching for other nail polishes...until my sister actually picked me one for as one of my many birthday presents and now i can't stop wearing it again and for me it is the perfect nude nail polish colour.

When it comes to brows for the past few months i have been using the revolution brow tint, which you paint on and leave for a couple of hours before peeling off leaving you with perfect filled in brows. That being said as it does fade after a few days, you do need to touch your brows up when filling them in and i had completely ran out of my beloved Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade. Seeing as i don't reach for it everyday now, i thought i would pick up a more affordable product which does the same job and this one is pretty much exactly the same (except for the price difference obviously).

Finally i have actually been reaching for this which i picked up whilst placing that Superdrug order, as i wan't something as a top up in-between tan product. If you watch Love Island, then you will see this range of products from Superdrug being shown a lot as they are the Sponsors again this year. I had also seen a few people saying how they couldn't believe how good this product was for the price, which i completely agree with. It doesn't have that horrible "biscuit-y" scent, it smells really nice and it is super moisturising.

NEW FAVOURITES FROM THE DRUGSTORE

Hello everyone! A few posts back as part of my july beauty favourites i mentioned that i had been trying out some newer products towards the end of the month, but i wanted to test them out more before talking about them. That being said out of those products i have some hits and misses, so for today's post i thought i would talk about the hits and they all happen to be from the drugstore, which is an added bonus.

I have actually featured this in my recent current everyday quick and easy makeup post and i mentioned how much i was loving this particular product, as i am all for the quick and easy spray primers and this has a bonus feature as it also sets your makeup in place as well. I love how quickly this sinks into the skin, as well as leaving your skin feeling super fresh and hydrated. Another product from the Rimmel #insta range i have already spoken about my love for, is the #insta fix & matte translucent powder as part of my all time favourite setting powders post. In-fact i have been really enjoying using a few new product releases from Rimmel, that being said if i am being completely honest i was not a fan of the new matte liquid lipsticks.

As i mentioned above how much i am loving the new releases from Rimmel, even more specifically the new #insta range and that includes the cream contour sticks. When i first saw these i thought how much they look like the KKW ones, as they are dual ended one side a contour shade and the other a highlight shade which has a slight shimmer to it rather than being matte - personally i love that! These contour sticks are super creamy yet easy to apply and blend out with either a brush or a damp beauty blender. In these sticks i have the shades light and then also medium, but i tend to reach for medium a lot more and i love how it isn't too cool toned or too warm toned, it is a perfect mix between the two which is rare to come by.


I have actually had a couple of shades from the Vivid Hot Lacquer range for a while now, but i was never able to get my hands on this particular shade called tease, as it was either always OFS in-store and online or the testers had been used/opened in-store. Finally i managed to get my hands on this shade and it was so worth the wait, as it is honestly the most beautiful pale nude gloss i have come across since i found my love for the bareMinerals far out nude gloss. As these are more of a pigmented gloss you can pair them simply with a nude lip liner or you could apply a tiny amount to the centre of the lips for a glossy effect, to a more matte lip colour.

l'oréal sublime bronze medium gradual self-tan
Over the years i have tried so many different tans and i always like to opt for a gradual self-tan, as it just works better for me and is more hydrating on my skin. It is quick to apply with a mitt just like you would normal tan and i leave it to develop over night. Two of my favourite tans have always been St. Moriz and then the one by Dove, but whilst in Boots i decided to give this one a try and i have become obsessed so much so it is my new favourite. I love the particular shade this tan goes on my skin as it is super golden looking, it also applies evenly leaving you streak-free and i find it lasts longer on the skin than others do.
