I live in a small city and, although shopping is fairly decent, our Boots and Superdrug stores are both small and limited. Recently I had a weekend in Glasgow with my boyfriend and took the opportunity to do a little shopping.
Superdrug
Superdrug have some brilliant brands but my local shop is tiny and has only a small selection of their brands. I have never tried anything from Look Beauty and so was keen to try them! I picked up this Matify Me Pressed Powder, £4 and thought it would be perfect to use with my new powder brush. I love this Mini Makeover Palette in Rock Chick, £4. It has 2 layers and contains eyeshadows, a blush and lip products, really handy for throwing in your bag.
A small range of MUA used to be available in my local store but has now been stopped. I bought one of these eyeshadow trios last time and have used it almost daily since so decided to get another. This time I chose Chocolate Box, £2.50. I have heard good things about the Undress Your Skin Highlighter and couldn't resist it at £3. Lastly I picked up a cream blush in the colour Marshmallow for £2. This will be great to try out with my new brush.
I got the Sleek contour kit for my birthday and love it and so decided to try another Sleek product. This blush in the shade Rose Gold, £4.49 is raved about by bloggers so I thought I would give it a go myself!
Over the next few weeks I will be using these products and reviewing some of them. If there is a particular review you would like to see, please comment below.

I definitely know the feeling of having nothing close to home! In Australia we only have Real Techniques of the brands mentioned but as a blogger I've heard of all of them anyway, haha. I'd love to know your thoughts on Sleek blushes in general. They look quite similar to Nars blushes and I'm wondering if they are dupes?
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely day :)

You should order your Real Techniqes brushes from Iherb - they are a heck of a lot cheaper than getting them in the UK :)
ReplyDeleteAw really, thanks for the tip x
DeleteI am trying to be open minded & look at a variety of different brush sets but the Real Techniques ones do seem to be the front runner by far for a lot of people. The MUA eye trio looks lovely too - might be just the thing I need to replace my Bourjois one which is on it's last legs.
