Beauty Haul: ASDA, Benefit, Boots & Topshop

Hey sweeties,
 
 
So today I've got a haul for you guys as I have recently been doing a lot of shopping and I thought I would share with you what I bought!
 
This haul will come in two parts; the first being a beauty haul and the second being a clothing haul (coming soon!)
 
So let's crack on and I hope you enjoy!!
 
The first place I went is to ASDA and I picked up the new Herbal Essences Bee Strong shampoo and conditioner as they were on offer for £1 a bottle. As you will all know if you have read my blog before, I usually use and love the raspberry shampoo and conditioner for split ends (review on my blog), however, I decided to have a change and try this one, which has Honey and Apricot extracts for damaged hair. According to Herbal Essences 'this formula works to help repair the protective layer of each strand of hair to leave it strong against combing damage'. So, I'm going to give this a go and see if I can be persuaded to use this more often instead of the raspberry one.

 
The next place I went to, was Benefit in Debenhams where I picked up the number one bestselling 'they're real' mascara! Now, if you know me personally, you will know that I would never ever leave the house without my trusty pair of false eyelashes. This is because for many years, I have absolutely hated my natural eyelashes as they are stumpy, short and well, pretty non existent! I originally picked one up for my mum as a Christmas present, because believe it or not, her eyelashes are actually shorter than mine and when I saw the result, I just had to go out and buy one for myself! And I can now proudly say that false eyelashes are a thing of the past! This product retails at £19.50

 
Next I went to Boots and I picked up four things. Firstly I bought the 'Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencil' in the colour 'Vintage Blush' from Collection. This product claims to be a 'velvety, soft blendable eyeshadow pencil which is waterproof and long lasting'. This colour is a really nice, shimmery pale pink colour which I think will look really nice as a brow highlighter or in the inner corner of the eye. This product retails at £3.19


Secondly, I picked a 'Lasting Finish' nail varnish in the colour 'Double Decker Red' from Rimmel London. This is such a beautiful bright red colour, exactly like a London double decker bus, and I thought it would be perfect for the Christmas and winter period, so I bought it! This product retails at £1.99.


Next, I picked up the 'Match Perfection Light Perfecting Radiance Foundation' in the colour '100 Ivory' from Rimmel London. I usually wear the 'Wake Me Up' foundation from Rimmel, but again I fancied a change and decided to give this a go. This retails at £6.99.


And finally, I picked up the 'Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder' in the colour '004 Sandstorm' also from Rimmel London. This is a staple in my daily makeup routine, so I picked this up simply because I had run out of my old one, and I love it so much! This product retails at £3.99.

 
The final place I went to was Topshop, where I picked up two things.
Firstly, I bought a new lipstick in the colour 'Pillow Talk'. This is a really beautiful pale, girly pink and I really love it. I think this will look great in the Spring and the Summer.


I also, picked up a nail varnish in the colour 'Bashful' which is a really nice powdery blue colour, which again I think will look great for the Spring and Summer months.


Topshop lipsticks cost £8 and their nail varnishes cost £5.
 
So, that's it from me, please let me know if you want a review of any of these products and I will be sure to do so!
My clothing haul will also be up soon!
 
So thankyou for reading everyone and I hope you are keeping well.
