Here's a haul to say I'm sorry...

Howdy Beauts!

I never thought I'd be a lousy blogger apologising for my absence but I guess I am! Oopsy!

I blame my being poorly and my evil dentist for my lack of post-age and even though all I want to do is sleep right now I figured I should atleast post some pics that I've had lying around for a couple of weeks now. 

As with most of the country...I gave in to the Revlon lip butter hype....In a big way! (along with the L'oreal Caresse lipsticks too!) My excuse? It was my birthday on the 8th and I figured now was as good a time as any to splurge a little...



Now Boots are currently having a 3 for 2 offer so that is why I have 6 however I did actually pick up another 3 Lip butters the other day which I suppose I should post in another haul with a few of my birthday goodies from my friends.  I'm not really going to review these as I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about them but my thoughts in a nutshell? I'm very impressed, surprisingly long lasting colour, great colour range and basically...I LOVES THEM! :D


I also picked up the Maybelline Colour tattoo 24 hour cream shadows in 'on and on bronze', 'Permanent Taupe' and Eternal Gold'  These are very comparible to the Mac paintpots in consistency and application, they last a fair while but they do tend to crease by the end of the day.  These were 3 for 2 also and priced at £4.99 for one I think they're a bargain compared to Mac!

Way back when Boots were giving away their No 7 vouchers I picked up these purely because I didn't really need anymore face wipes and didn't want any more makeup...
My skin being very sensitive and very prone to burning in tepid sunshine I saw this Anti-Ageing ShimmeringLlip and Eye Screen in SPF 30 hidden in a corner and instantly became curious, I've been using this mainly around my eyes because I have a few lip balmy jobbies with Sun protection but nothing really for my eyes.  Now I can't comment on this properly because as soon as I got this...The sun went back into hiding but I shall review it further when I've put it through it's paces and with the £5 off it only cost around £2.  The nail polish in 'Beanie' was a pure spur of the moment thing as this was one of the few colours of which I didn't really have in my collection already

Now I know this post has been a bit rushed, and I promise my usual standard of post-aging shall resume very soon but I just can't seem to find the energy to do anything and I'm ALWAYS grumpy, If I lived with me I'd have smacked me a couple of times to date!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments and a big hello to all the new followers!  Congratulations again to Courtney who won my first ever giveaway and thank you for everybody who took part in it! I was well chuffed with your comments and questions.

Enough ramblings from me I think.

Ciao for now world!

  19. Wow you realy did have a bit of a splurge! I really want to try those L'Oreal lipsticks and one of those Colour Tattoo things. I had heard that they crease quite a lot though but if you say it's only a bit maybe I will give one a go :)
