June Splurge - London Part I

A birthday + more impulse shopping = broke shopaholic. As the haul was too big, it was too long so I split it into three parts: a London Haul (two parts) and a Korean Haul – this was the most convenient method.

Boots
The Soap and Glory aisle has been tempting me for such a long that I could no longer hold back and fell into the hole of ‘3 for 2 deals’.
I forgot to do swatches for these before using them but Peach Party is basically a goldy-pink sheen blush it is quite buildable. I picked it up because it was a colour that I’d use when I wanted to go for a cuter look alternatively this could also be used as a highlighter which is probably what I’ll use it for as I prefer more matte blushes (which are difficult to find).

Wonderbronze is obviously a bronzer, again it’s buildable – I bought it because I needed one more thing in the basket and so it went straight in. This ‘shimmer brick’ has more matte colour within the wheel - I feel like I’m going to combine those colours to set a contour and use the shimmery colour as a blush – don’t know how but I will.

I’ve already use the SUPERCAT liner…I really like the felt tip as it’s more convenient but the colour dries as a more grey-black as opposed to a bold black but further down this haul I have a solution – so keep reading.

Superdrug
I really like nail polish – I own one too many and the collection doesn’t stop growing. Earlier this year I bought the shade Divine Wine and was impressed by the colour pay off as well as how long the nail polish lasted – so I indulged myself with two more. Sun Kissed and Sea Sky – they’re both from the ‘Summer Bliss’ line. Sun Kissed is a pastel orange and Sea Sky is a pastel but vibrant Blue. If you do want your nail polish to last longer I find using the Sally Hansen top/base coat keep my nails from chipping for a relatively long time.

Maybelline’s Colordrama Lip pencils are my recent addiction – the two shades I got were 510 Red Essential and 310 Berry Much. I’ve been a bit obsessed with red for a while so I automatically pick up a red shade with whatever else I’m getting. Red Essential is a wearable day colour that’s perfect for summer, Berry Much is more of an autumn shade but who cares – rock whatever you want wear.

Revolutions Vivid Baked Highlighters give off such a nice toned sheen. The two shades are Golden Lights evidently a gold toned highlight, which looks really nice on medium-dark skin (more on the dark side). Peach Lights is as the name suggest a peachy-pinky toned highlight this looks nice on medium complexions. The reason I bought both was because my skin tone drastically changes depending on the season and this summer I seem to have outdone myself with a tan (I don’t know how we barely had any sun).

I will put up London Part II, next Friday so stay tuned.
