3 Recent Beauty Buys

Today I just wanted to share a few of the latest beauty bits that I’ve picked up! I’ve kept it down to 3 for this post, so I can really talk about them. You’ll notice this is different to a ‘haul’ because I tend to have tried some of these bits already and gotten them started, so I can give a little bit of initial feedback on the product. Sometimes I just find a post like this is a good ‘one stop shop’ method, so it saves having a haul, try-on AND then a review. It’s just like an all-in-one post, enjoy these little Autumnal pick-me-ups!

Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish in ‘335 Gimme Some of That’, £2.99: I’ve been enjoying the Rimmel formula for a few months now and have been really enjoying it. I’ve found that sometimes the lasting power on it can be great, usually get about 5 days out of them at a time. This one, as you can see in the picture has gotten a few small chips within only 2 days though. The shade is really lovely though, its a deep sophisticated pink that almost looks red in some lights though. It’s a really good one for Autumn and I have a feeling I’ll be reaching for this one a lot!

Revolution Conceal and Define Supersize Concealer in ‘C2’, £7.00: I’ve been using my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer for months non-stop, so I felt like I wanted a change. I have tried this concealer before, but then never got round to re-purchasing it. Unfortunately, I had to settle for the supersize one… which is MASSIVE! I don’t know if they’re still doing the regular sized one, but this one is almost like a foundation stick. I found it harder to shade match me this time, there are literally so so many to choose from even in the pale section- which is a good thing really. I’m looking forward to having a bit of a change up and using this one again.

OGX Purifying and Charcoal Detox Shampoo, £6.99: OGX is a brand that I’ve very recently begun dabbling in and I’m really impressed so far. I like to alternate with my shampoos, so this one and the coconut curls one are the ones I’m currently using. The charcoal one is set to give your head a real deep clean out of any product build up and general dirt. I love a good deep cleaning shampoo, especially as I use serums, so there can often get a build up if not cleansed properly. Love the packaging of these and they’re so big, it will take me a while to finish them off- I usually try and find them on offer too when I can!

3 Recent Beauty Buys

Today I just wanted to share a few of the new beauty bits that I have bought as they are all completely new to my collection! For a while, I have just tended to re-purchase products that I already knew I loved and had used for many years. These are products though that I had been eyeing up for a while and I finally thought- JUST DO IT. This post is not sponsored by Nike. They aren’t enough to officially call this a ‘haul’, but these are a few new purchases that I wanted to share with you!

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in Light: I mentioned this recent purchase in my 3 Summer Beauty Must-Haves, but I did make it clear that I hadn’t really tried it… I was just using it as an example of a good bronzer which REALLY is a summer must-have. ANYWAY, this is from America and my sister kindly picked it up for me, as I have heard beauty YouTubers talk about this for YEARS. I was running out of places to look for bronzer in terms of the UK drugstores and didn’t really want to commit to highend prices. I’m hoping this is a great alternative though and I cannot wait to try it!

Benefit’s Cheekleader Pink Squad Palette, £26.00: This little beauty contains one of my MOST FAVOURITE beauty products- the Dandelion Blush! I talk about this product ALL THE TIME on here, especially around the warmer months, and I wear it all the time. So I’m really excited to have it in a little palette now, so that it is easier to take on the go and use with other products. This comes with Benefit’s ‘Galifornia’ and ‘Tickle’ which is an exclusive shade! They are all pink toned with varying degrees of shimmer and can be used as highlighters, brightening powder or just good old blush. Also they are each slightly bigger than the ‘mini’ sizes and is the same price than just ONE boxed powder- so this is a great way to try more products without spending more money!

BareMinerals BareSkin Perfecting Veil in Light to Medium, £23.00: I’ve been wanting to try this finishing powder for a while, as this is a brand that I really feel like fits the bill in terms of my skin type. This is the lightest shade they do, and despite the name, I feel like this does fit with very pale skin. This is a finishing powder that aims to combat excess oil and redness, so I hoping it will work well with my concealer to create a natural base that still gives me coverage!

I’m really looking forward to giving these all a try and I will be sure to update you either through individual reviews, summer beauty posts or monthly favourites- so make sure you’re following if you want to hear more about these after some proper testing!
