Boots Haul!

Hey all you dreamers! I hope everyone had a lovely week, and made the most of wearing all your high fashion outfits in commemoration of LONDON FASHION WEEK!!

I know a lot of you are big time fashion and beauty lovers like me. However, being a student, there is always the darn cost factor-as us economists like to describe it; a budget constraint, and boy does it stink! But do not fret yet chummy for I am here to try and save the day! We may not have Tanya Burr’s collection of high end make up, but we can most definitely substitute it with drug store treasures and look just as good! Well almost.

I then thought that the best haul to start off with would be a Boots haul, and man do I love a good Boots or Superdrug frenzy! I bought five items that I think could really help with this time of year, autumn; a time of long walks, cosy cardigans and back to university/school.

My first item is the ‘Sunkissed glimmer compact’ bronzer. I absolutely love this buy. It has an array of different shades of brown and bronze. This sits perfectly on my skin and I actually use it to contour, and the shimmer in bronzer just gives a natural glow and an effortless radiance. This is perfect to avoid looking pale and washed out in this coming weather. Besides, the best bit is that it is £2, you cannot go wrong with that!

My second item is something I was in desperate need of. My hair is in shades of ombre ending in a blondish brown, this has seriously dried out my hair and my constant blow drying, straightening and curling is definitely not helping out. Since I want to maintain my long hair, I am avoiding split ends at any cost so I don’t need a trim soon. The ‘TRESemme Keratin Smooth’ heat protection shine spray works wonders! My hair feels much healthier after just a couple of uses. My hair sits really well when I style it and best of all, since I have the problem of frizzy hair in this weather, this magical product actually keeps my hair tamed! I positively recommend this one, a steal at £5.50 for its values worth.

Next off, I purchased the ‘Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy’ gel facewash. I am very happy with this product because it is kind on my skin and does not leave my skin feeling dry and tacky after washing. That is a big issue I have with a lot of facewashes and this one came in and saved the day! This was on sale from £4.99 to £3.32 and who doesn’t love a sale?

The next product is one of my favourites! I have seen Tanya Burr brag about this and my sister uses this too, so I thought I would see what all the fuss was about…and I don’t know how I have lived all my makeup life without this product! The ‘Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off’ mascara in 001 black is probably the best mascara I have ever used! It just lengthens and dramatically darkens your lashes without clumping them. I know, hard to believe, but honestly try it for yourself, you will fall in love. This is perfect for a fresh faced autumn look; a naked face with this mascara and a bold lip. Perfect for fall! This is priced at £6.99.

My last product is a buy I am very happy with! Rimmel has really impressed me this time round. This is the ‘Rimmel  Lasting Finish Colour Rush’ Balm in 600 on fire. This is from the chubby stick/colour boost family however at half the price! I have heard Zoella and Tanya Burr talk about the Bourjois Colour boost Lip crayon and indeed it is brilliant, but this is just as good and literally half the price! This beautiful tangerine redish lippy is perfect for back to university everyday wear. It moisturises your lips in this dry weather and the colour lasts without giving you dreaded white lipstick line, and the colour is really fun and vibrant. The best bit about this is the price; believe it or not, this marvel is priced at £2.99!

I hope you found these helpful in any way and I am sorry about the poor quality pictures, I am getting my new camera soon, for now it’s resolving to the use of my trusty 3 year old digital Sony. I hope you all have a very beautiful weekend ahead and enjoy the lovely weather!

Till next time, lots of love J
