My new beauty buys | Haul | Topshop, Rimmel, Collection etc

Hello! So in the last couple of days I have bought a few little beauty bits (mainly makeup) that I would like to share with you.  I have a few lip products, a blush, a nail varnish, a concealer, an eyeliner and some makeup wipes.  If I have tried out the product I will let you know what I think, if I haven't yet then let me know if you would like a review in the future!

Hope you enjoy this!

1. Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss | Shade '107'

£5.49

I got this lipstick my local pharmacy and I had no idea they sold Rimmel in there so was quite happy when I saw a little Rimmel booth. 

 I have never tried a Kate Moss lipstick before so I decided to try this one. 

 I absolutely love the dark red color for Autumn and Winter as I don't think I am confident enough to wear a bright red.  

I haven't really worn this out yet but I have tried it and it comes out beautifully on the lips, very pigmented but easy to make a little subtler by dabbing it on with my finger.

Definitely worth a look in store if you are looking for a lip color for Autumn/Winter.

(It also smells like watermelon which is nice!)

2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer | Shade 'Fair 1'

£4.19

Bet you've all heard about this concealer... definitely very raved up in the beauty community.  Now I was with Sarah when I bought this and I knew it was one of her holy grail items so I decided to try it (even though I love my Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer).  There was a 3 for 2 deal in boots going on so I couldn't help but buy it...

I haven't used it properly yet as I am still finishing my current concealer, but from what I have tried out - it seems like it does a very good job at concealing!

Although the tube is quite small compared to other concealers out there.

3. Natural Collection 'Blushed Cheeks' Blusher | Shade 'Rosey Glow'

£1.99

As there was a 3 for 2 on in boots I decided to look at Natural collection as they are pretty cheap. 

 I had heard there blushes are surprisingly good and pigmented and when I swatched them I found it was true!

 I decided to pick this color because it's a dark pink and perfect for Autumn.  I don't really wear blush much so hopefully this will help me wear it a little more.

Beautiful color though, definitely recommend buying one of these!

4. Natural Collection 'Eye Lines' Eye Liner | Shade 'White'

£1.99

I mainly got this because I was looking for something else for my 3 for 2 deal however I do like to wear white eyeliner on my lower waterline so I thought I may as well pick it up.  

Also, as it is Natural Collection it doesn't effect my eyes (as they're quite sensitive and react to some eyeliners).  

The white comes out nicely on the waterline and definitely brightens my eyes however it doesn't seem to last that long so I have to top it up during the day.

5. Topshop Velvet Finish Lipstick | Shade 'Wicked'

£8.00

You may have seen this in my recent post 'My Beauty Wishlist' and now I can tick it off of my wishlist! To be honest it is fairly similar to the Kate Moss one, its just a more purpley color which I think I actually prefer with my skin tone.  

This is my first Topshop lipstick and I only got it today but I love it, it goes on to my lips (with a little bit of blending with my finger) perfectly and it looks very nice with my hair color (I think..).

It looks lovely for the Autumn and Winter so I am looking forward to wearing this a bit more!

6. Topshop 'Matte Nails' Nail Varnish | Shade 'Light Brizzle'

£6.00

I have always wanted to try a Matte nail varnish and I do not own a grey nail varnish at all, so I thought this one was perfect for meee. 

 And for the upcoming season I think this is a nice neutral color to wear.

  I haven't worn this yet as I only got it today but I may do a NOTD with this soon as I am hoping it will look nice.

7. Topshop 'Gloss' Lipgloss | Shade 'The thrill of the chase'

£4.00 (But I got it for free!)

At the moment in my local Topshop (Probably in others as well) you get a free lipgloss if you spend over £15 on makeup.. so I did!

 I got a bright pink because I know it doesn't actually come out this color but I just thought it looked really cool in the tube.  

I haven't really worn this yet.. I am just happy it was free haha, love a freebie!  It's not stick on my lips at all (so far) so I am guessing this will be a nice lip gloss to throw on over a pink lipgloss.

8. Topshop 3 in 1 Face Wipes

£2.00

I got these because I needed an extra £1 to get a free lipgloss haha, these were the cheapest thing there so I thought why not ay.  I haven't actually got any makeup wipes at the moment because I don't tend to use them (I mainly use Cleanser and toner).  However I will probably be lazy now and use them, I haven't tried them yet but I shall let you know how they are soon if you like!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it, sorry it was a pretty long post. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see a review of any of these items.  Hope you all have/had a good day.

Mini makeup haul | Sleek, Rimmel, Clarins etc

Hello! Today I popped out to return a bag and managed to also buy a few beauty bits whilst I was in town.. woops.  Anyway, I am very excited about trying out some of these new colors on my eyes for the Fall/Autumn.  Hope you enjoy!

Sleek 'Ultra Mattes V2 Darks' Palette

I picked this up from Superdrug for just £7.99.  I was looking for a new palette with lots of different dark colors that would be perfect for Autumn/Fall, and I think I've found it!  
You get 12 eyeshadows and that makes it less than £1 each which is great value for money!

I love sleek palettes because the eyeshadows have just the right amount of pigmentation in them to create a lovely eye look when combined with some more natural colors.

The colors in this palette are very pretty and I'm looking forward to experimenting with some colors I've never used before such as 'Maple' and 'Ink'. You can get yourself one here.

Let me know if you would like to see any eye looks using this palette, or a proper review on it!

Sorry a couple of the colors don't show too much, they definitely
look better on the actual eyelid!

 Rimmer Waterproof Eye Definer '261 noir'

Just my usual eye liner! I repurchased this for the 5th time - its half way between a pencil liner and a gel liner I would say.  Definitely recommend it, perfect for winging if you aren't too confident with a liquid liner. It only cost me £3.99 in Superdrug so it's not pricey at all and definitely worth buying!

Clarins 'Gloss Appeal' lipgloss | 05 Hibiscus

Found this in TK Maxx  Usually I don't really go in there, but today my Mum was looking around and I wandered over to the makeup section (which is only small but theres quite a lot in it).  A lot of the packaging on these products had been open but this one was still packaged so I thought I'd have a look.

I was quite surprised to see such a pretty color and as it was Clarins I was pretty sure it would be good.  I think the RRP was £22 but I got it for just £7.99 so I am very happy with this!

The color comes out very nicely and perfect to chuck on when you're in a rush.

MUA 'Intense Color Eyeliner Pencil' | Forest Green

I've never tried any MUA eyeliners before and I wanted a colored one to try out.  I found this for just £1! It comes out nice a pigmented and I am looking forward to wearing with with a more neutral eye to add a bit of color quickly.  I bought this in Superdrug too, collecting my points! You can get yourself one here.

Hope you enjoyed this mini haul!

 Let me know if you'd like any looks with any of these products, or further reviews.

Also let me know any other posts you'd like to see.
