Spanish Haul Part 2!

Okay, so as I thought, I ended up making some bargain purchases on our second trip to the La Zenia Boulevard shopping mall, I got them all from one shop, and it was called Kiko. From the outside it looked like your average makeup store, but inside it was a beauty lovers heaven! 

As you walk in your handed a little basket which really makes you feel as if you can't leave empty handed! Their was a wall of eyeshadows, a wall of lipsticks, a wall off nail polishes, and then foundation etc. The walls were just covered in samples, as MAC do, and then behind that were stacked boxes of the makeup. 

I ended up purchasing 4 eyeshadows and a nail polish, I would have spent every last penny in their but was under a bit of pressure to hurry up from my parents! 

The first eyeshadow was a staple really, it's a matte brown, it looks like melted chocolate! It's a great colour, and I think it's going to look amazing in the crease! (SHADE 123)
The second colour I picked up was an olive green, which has a slight shimmer to it. I have a similar colour in the Sleek Originals palette, but it was so pretty I couldn't resist! (SHADE 104)
The third shade I picked up was a lilac toned silver colour, it's so pretty! I have nothing at all like it! (SHADE 154)
And the last eye shadow colour I got was the most beautiful Burgundy red colour, which is also shimmery. I'm totally in love with it!  (SHADE 136) 
Oh and I forgot to mention that they were just €1.90 each! 

The nail polishing got was a beautiful shimmery lilac colour, it's so g
Glittery and girly! It's just amazing! And at just €1.50 I couldn't pass! 


It was so amazing in their! They were really nice and friendly too! Everything is packaged nicely, and doesn't look cheap in the slightest! They box their products almost the same as MAC do too! 

I'm hoping ill be able to order from them online, as the products are so pigmented, and really are just as good as high end brands.

Beauty Bargain haul!

I've just got back from going shopping and as usual I dragged my mum round all of my favourite shops;  Boots, Superdug etc.

I didn't end up spending a fortune however I did get some pretty cool items at good prices!

From Superdrug I picked up 2 of the MUA Power Pout tint & balm in Justify which is a orangey toned colour and Broken Hearted which is a pretty berry red. They normally retail for £3 each, which is still very cheap, however they had a deal on all of the Lip Pro makeup, so it was two items for £4! So I saved £2! They are basically copy's of the Clinique Chubby Sticks, at a fraction of the price! I've just applied one, and they have a creamy texture to them which is nice! I think I'm going to like these alot!
Next I went to Wilkinson's where I headed straight to the makeup! In some Wilkinson's at the moment their are deals on selected Collection 2000 products being half price! I like collection 2000 I think they have some really good practical bits of makeup, especially for doing other people's makeup. I wanted a coloured mascara for a while now and they had the Extreme Coloured lengthening mascara in purple for just £1.47! You can't got wrong! They normally retail for £2.99 each so I was pleased to see that cheap! I haven't used it yet, and while I'm not expecting it to be amazing, hopefully it will add a splash of colour on to my lashes. The next thing I picked up was the Collection 2000 Metallic Cream eyeshadow. I got this in number 1- Gold Rush. I find it similar to the Maybelline Colour Tattoos in texture however it's applied with a doe foot applicator. I think this will be nice just to apply quickly instead of going all out with a smokey eye, or just as a base! And again at just £1.47 you can't go wrong!
Finally from Boots I found lots and lots of Barry M Dazzle Dusts in the Clarence! I love potted pigments so this excited me a lot! On the Barry M website these are being sold for £4.59 each, they also still stock the colours I got so their not end of line, and theirs nothing wrong with them either, so when they were reduced to just £1 each, YES £1! I was shocked! I only picked up 3, but I wish now I'd picked one of each colour up. The three colours I got are Petrol Black, Mushroom & Gold Iridescent (Which isn't gold at all so I'm slightly confused by that name


 I hope you enjoyed this little haul! It's surprising what little bargains you can find when you look around!

Rimmel London, Eye Glistener

Walking around Poundland I stumbled across this amazing little find...
Rimmel London Eyeful Eye Glistener -700 Flaunt

Wow! The pigmentation is great! 
It's a beautiful champagne colour, and looks great along the lash line with any natural base colour. This  product can also work all over the lid, however it gives a great splash of colour to a natural look.
For £1 you can't complain about the price!

One stroke swatches.

This product is a bargain. It was the only colour in the Poundland near me however I believe their may be others available.
