Hello you beauties!

I don’t know about you, but I love having a nosy at what other people buy on their shopping sprees. And so a couple of weeks ago, I treated myself to a little Superdrug haul. Why Superdrug, you may ask? Well, I love Superdrug. They stock all the brands that I love the most.

I had also just signed up to their Health & Beauty Card, and they were offering triple points AND free delivery. I had to take advantage of this, especially as I actually NEEDED a few makeup and skincare items.

I spent a good 4 hours trawling through their website, before deciding that if I added anymore to my basket, then my bank account would hate me. Altogether, I spent around £30ish, even though the actual total should’ve been around £40 (there was a 3 for 2 offer that I definitely took advantage of). So, here it all is.

There were 3 offers that I took advantage of: 3 for 2 on all cosmetics, nails and lashes, free makeup bag when you buy any 3 cosmetics and 3 for 2 on selected Zoella products.

Zoella Scrubbing Me Softly Body Scrub (280g for £7)

I know this scrub is probably higher in price than most decent scrubs out there (probably because of the celebrity label on this) but I treated myself to this once just to try it and I have been in love with it ever since. This is the third tub of this product I have owned now - I don’t use it everyday so this lasts months. I bought my first tub in September, which lasted me until December, when I received another tub of this for Christmas, which lasted until last week. I love the scent of this scrub - very strong scent of blueberry - and it is definitely not too harsh on my very delicate skin. I always have like extremely soft skin, which is the most important factor of body scrubs. I would definitely recommend this body scrub to you all.

Zoella Wonder Hand Moisturising Hand Cream (90ml for £5.50)

I know £5.50 seems like such a high price for such a small amount, but I would have to honestly have to say that this product is worth what you pay for it. I love hand creams as I get naturally dry skin on my hands, so I have been dying to buy and use this product for months. The cream is extremely moisturising which means you have to use only a tiny amount (otherwise your hands get sticky). I love the perfume scent that it has - it makes it a lot different to other hand creams I have used which have had fruity scents or been unscented. This product has worked wonders for my skin (as the name suggests that it would do) and I would definitely suggest that you go and buy this product for yourself.

Zoella Lace Collar Purse (£6)

Everyone who knows me knows that I have tons of makeup bags yet I only use one (also a Zoella one) and so they asked me ‘Why on earth are you buying another one?’. That is easy to answer. First, I wanted to take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer and because I have showers rather than baths (and already own more shower gels than I can count on one hand) then I was very limited to what else I could choose. So this brings me to my second reason - just look how cute it is! It’s also reasonably small, meaning it is the perfect size for me to fit in my handbag when I go out and want to take makeup with me. I just love this little purse/makeup bag and would highly recommend it to all of you.

GOSH Velvet Touch Lip Liner Angel Kiss (£4.99)

I’m not usually the sort of person that uses lip liners, but for some unknown reason I decided I wanted to try one out. This lip liner is a nude colour, hence why I bought it as I usually go for nude tones when it comes to my lipstick. I only applied a little as I wasn’t too sure if it would suit me at first, so I wanted to leave it looking subtle. It was effective and I will definitely be using this product again. And maybe I’ll even venture into buying different coloured ones in the future.

Rimmel London 60 Seconds Super Shine by Rita Ora (£2.99 each)

I bought the shades ‘Bestival Blue’ and ‘Rain Rain Go Away’ of this nail polish - the first being a lovely blue shade, and the latter being a nude shade. I haven’t actually tried these yet, but I bought a few of these for my friend for her birthday and she said they’re great. I love nail polishes A LOT (as you all know I own a lot of Essence nail polishes) and so I am really excited about trying these and creating different looks and matching them with various outfits.

Superdrug Bronzing Brush (£2.99)

Another brush to add to my collection. I don’t like paying loads for my brushes as I find that cheaper ones (especially ones from Wilko) are just as good quality. I knew that this brush would be good quality if it was created by Superdrug, and I was not wrong. It is a smaller brush than a lot of other bronzer brushes you can get, but I feel like it is the perfect size for more control over the bronzer. I used to use a powder brush for my bronzer before as I haven’t used powder until just recently, so it’s nice to use a brush with the product it was designed for.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Transparent (£3.99)

I have never really used powder before, but I saw so many people raving about it how using powder is so good, so I thought I would give it a try. I chose this one because, as I was ordering online, I didn’t know what shade I would need so I thought the transparent one would be safest. This is a brilliant powder. It is really easy to apply and, as the name suggests, it creates a matte look so it is great if you get a shiny face. I now use this product basically religiously everyday.

GOSH Roll On Eye Primer & Refresh (£7.99)

I have never used an eye primer before, but started to have problems with my eyeshadow not lasting as long as I wished it would, so I decided to buy this primer. I have heard good things about this brand, and so I thought this would be a brilliant product. And it really is a great product. It is lovely to apply, firming the eyelids and helping the eyeshadows to have a longer staying time.

I also received a free ‘#NoFilterNeeded’ make-up bag in pink (meaning I have both the pink and the blue now). I honestly do not know what I will use this for as I now have too many make-up bags and not enough make-up. Maybe another haul will sort out this problem out!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope to be bringing you another haul post soon!

Thank you!

Hello you beauties!

What are my monthly favourites for April, you may ask? Well, quite a lot of things, if I’m honest. It is going to be hard to limit this list, but I’ll make sure it’s not too long for you all.

1. 
   

   1. Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation

   I mentioned this in my post on Wednesday, with products I couldn't live without, but this product has definitely been one of my favourite products throughout April so I thought I’d mention it again. I love the light but accurate coverage this product offers, and the fact that it moisturises my skin and smells great.

   2. Rimmel London Super Curler Mascara

   I love any product that can help me to curl my lashes even more than they already are. Although I have had a few issues with this mascara clumping, I find overall that this is a very strong product and I don’t know what I would have done this past month if I didn't have this product.

5. 
   

   3. Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil

   As my friend pointed out, I just love my eyebrows, and filling them in has to be my favourite part of my makeup routine. I prefer pencils to powders as I feel I have more control over where the product is going, and this pencil is perfect. It’s a good price (£2.99) and the colour pigment is amazing. I have found myself using this loads throughout April.

6. 
   
7. 
   

   4. No.7 Moisture Drench Lipstick

   I have the shade ‘Shiny Conker’. I am actually in love with this brand. It’s in my favourites this month as it is extremely moisturising and the colour is very pigmented on my lips. I intend to buy another one of these lipsticks within the next month so I might include that in my May favourites.

8. 
   
9. 
   

   5. Rituals Miracle Scrub Hand Scrub

   I mentioned this in my first ‘Look Fantastic’ beauty box review as I received it in that box, and I have never found a skin product that I have loved more than this. It makes my skin extremely soft for the whole day, and I don’t even have to use loads of it so it lasts for quite a while. Hopefully I will be buying this product again in the future and that is why it is one of my favourites this month.

    6. Chupa Chups Strawberries and Cream Candle

    It is no lie that I am addicted to candles. So I was given this as a gift by my best friend back at Christmas, but I have wanted to save it for a special time. And now that spring is here, and I need an excuse to relax due to my exams approaching, I used this candle to relax. And it is amazing - it genuinely does help me to relax and it smells exactly like the lollipops that I was once (admitted I still am) addicted to. This is why it’s in my April favourites.

    7. Briogeo Don’t Despair! Repair Deep Conditioning Mask

    This product is one that was mentioned in a previous post, as I received my sample of this in the April Look Fantastic Beauty Box. I wasn’t too sure what I thought about this product at first, but I have now used this multiple times and I am starting to see amazing results already! My hair already feels 100x better and healthier, and my hair has never been so smooth. Despite this product costing £25 for the full size version, I would definitely buy this product again.

14. 
    
15. 
    

    8. Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt Texturizing Salt Spray

    I use this product a lot. My hair is not very exciting (apart from it being coloured) and kind of ‘limp’, so I use this product to add volume and texture. It works well, and is a very reasonable price - I bought two 200ml bottles from Tesco for £5 when I bought it. I will definitely continue to use this throughout the year.

Not many things, but this is everything I have been loving this month! I hope you all enjoyed reading this post, and make sure to send this to your friends. Stick around for some more posts every Wednesday and Saturday.

Thank you!!!
