Avon & Superdrug Haul

I am well aware that I've not posted at least once a week like I said I was going to however, since my last post I have actually moved house and everythings a bit everywhere at the minute with the majority of things still being in boxes. Plus we have only just got the internet as well.

Whilst I've not been posting I have been thinking of posts that I can do and I'm going to try and get them up as quickly as I can. I am also looking at getting a new camera as any pictures shown at the minute are actually taken on my phone.

Today I do actually have a bit of a haul that consists of Avon and Superdrug products.

This first Avon order I was going to post about straight after my last move but we then got caught up in the move and have received another order last week so thought I might as well give a run through of the products I purchased at the same time.



These items from left to right are Solutions Complete Balance Oil Free Mattifying Toner (£1.75), Avon bubble bath in Blackberries & Vanilla (£2.50), Solutions Ice Body Firming Treatment (£3.50) and ColorTrend Lip Stix in Gone Pink and Reddy to Go (£1.99 each).

I have been using Avon bubble baths for quite a while but usually have Strawbrry Sorbet but over Christmas I thought I'd give the Blackberries & Vanilla one a go and I absolutely love the smell of it so thought I'd get a big bottle of it while it was on offer. The other four products I have purchased I have never used before so thought why not? I have been using the Mattifying Toner ever since I got it and am quite liking it. I've also used the Lip Stix a couple of times and may pop a review up on these at a later date

My next Avon haul is all products that I've not used from Avon before but I think all but one of the products are new to the Avon range.


 These products are Liquid Freeze Quick Dry Nail Spray (£2.50), Ultra Colour Rich Matte Lipstick in Pink Cuddle and Matte Crimson (£4.00 each), ColorTrend Cheeky Powder Blush in Hot Pink (£2.00) and Always on Point Eyeliner in Black (£3.50).

I've wanted to try the Liquid Freeze Quick Dry Nail Spray for a while as I hate waiting for my nails to dry, I get so impatient. I have tried it and I'm not too sure what I think at the minute but I'll try it out a few more times and let you all know what I think. I really don't need any more lipsticks, I have more than enough but I can't stop buying them. I'm loving matte lipsticks at the minute and thought I'd give these a try out, they are normally £7 each and with them being on offer thought I'd try two so I can get a good impression of they are.

Below I have quite a few things from Superdrug and would just like to say I didn't buy these all at once, I did go in twice.

 
 
These products are Superdrug Dry Shampoo in Away with the Fairies and Chocolate Brownie (£2.99 each), Dove Deodrant in Pomegranate (£2.89) each, Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Big Bang, Apocaliptic, Stellar, Galaxy, Celestial, Nova and Nude Eclipse (£5.99 each) and Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in Soft Pink (101).
 
I have given the retail prices on these items however, I did get the dry Shampoo 2 for £2.49 i think it was, something like that anyway I just can't find the receipt at the minute, the deodrant was 2 for £3 and all the Rimmel products were on 3 for 2. About 6 weeks or so ago I saw Dollybowbows review on the Apocalips and automatically needed them, I resisted for a while and then when I saw they were on 3 for 2 I bought Big Bang, Apocaliptic and Stellar. I immediately fell in love with them and decided I needed to have them all and I'm currently testing them all out and will do a review on them.
 
I won't be doing a review on the deodrant as it's just deodrant but I can tell you that I do really like Dove deodrants and I love the smell of the Pomegranate one, it reminds me of summer. Normally I use Batiste dry shampoo but as the Superdrugs own dry shampoo was on offer I decided to give it a go and I'll pop a review up once I've gave both of them a go.
 
Sorry that the pictures aren't too great but at the minute I need a new camera so all pictures have been taken on my iphone.
 
Anyway thanks for reading and I will try and get more posts up from now on.

Hello

It's been a long time since I've even attempted to set my mind to writing. Although I've been meaning to get some posts up on this blog for a long time, motivation seemed to fail me and I never seemed to have the energy to do anything. I now feel in the right frame of mind to sort my life out which I've been meaning to do and make regular posts on here.

My posts will largley consist of makeup/beauty reviews and hauls but I will be throwing things in such as outfit of the days, outings to places and recipes. As I'm also trying to lose weight at the minute, I will be throwing in general updates regarding this and anything that I've found particularly helpful.

To start off with I'm going to try and get at least a post a week up until I get into the swing of things and then hopefully I'll be able to get a few a week up. If anyone has any particular requests they'd like to see or any advise/particular products you'd think I'd like or you'd like to see a review on then please let me know.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you all enjoy my blog.
