Now I know what you're thinking - it's July now, but this is a June Haul!? I called it a June haul as this little shopping trip actually happened late June, so I thought it would be appropriate to remember that.
Now, let's see what I bought this time!
My first stop was John Lewis. Now, the John Lewis store in my home town of Nottingham was closed for I think it was 6 days because of the terrible flooding we had, but now it's reopened so I make sure to head straight in to look at their beauty and skincare items. I found myself wandering over towards the Liz Earle products, as this is a brand I have wanted to try for a very long time.
Along with the Neutrogena pink grapefruit facial wash that I have now bought, I can finally cross off another item from my Summer 2016 wishlist! I finally purchased the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (£15.50). It was quite a spontaneous buy, I wasn't really planning to come home with this today, but I'm so happy that I finally decided to purchase it. I will bring you a full review on my blog soon. I also received samples of their Superskin Eye Cream and their Superskin Face Serum
Next I went to Lush, and I can cross another thing off of my wishlist again! I finally bought one of their lip scrubs (£5.50), the 'Bubblegum' one. It smells amazing, feels great on the lips and tastes amazing too. I will let you know my opinion again once I've used it a bit more.
Finally, I went to Boots and had a massive spree in there. I think the amount I bought this day is the most I have ever bought in one go at any store. There were loads of offers on in store, so it was hard to control myself.
I searched around the store before raiding the Revlon products. I have been looking to try their new 'Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor' (£8.99) liquid lipsticks for quite a while but have been unsure about which colours would suit me. Also, I don't always get along with matte products, so I was worried about that too. But I finally decided to buy one. I got it in the shade 'Devotion' which is a very muted pink and suits me brilliantly. This isn't too drying and is easy to use - a lot better than the liquid lipstick I received in my Look Incredible beauty box in June. I am glad I bought it and I will definitely repurchase it again.
From Revlon, I also bought the 'Multi Care Base + Top Coat' (£6.49) nail polish because I've always been looking for a decent top coat to make my coloured nail polish last even longer. The bottles of nail polish from this brand are very decently sized and I can't wait to try this out.
Now, the offer for this brand was a free gift set if you spend over £14.99. So because I had spent £15.48, I made sure to pick up this gift as I'm not one to pass up free things. It was basically like a mini beauty box as you receive 4 full sized items, and they claim that this box is worth around £30 (which I can confirm). In the box, we receive a Revlon Colorstay Quad Eyeshadow Palette in the shade 'Addictive', which is a lovely neutral palette which I will probably end up using every day. It is extremely pigmented, easy to blend and such easy to wear colours.
The next item I pulled out of the little box was their nail enamel in the new shade 'Vivacious' which is a very bright pink. I don't usually like wearing pinks anymore as I wore them a lot when I was younger so I see pink as being a childish nail colour, but I will definitely try this out at some point.
Next is a product that unfortunately I do not see myself using much. It is the Colorstay eye liner in the shade 'Black'. I do not really use eye liners a lot anymore and I own tons of black eyeliners, so I might find this more useful if it was in a different shade but I suppose if I don't use this myself, I can pass it on to someone else.
Finally, the last in this little box is probably my favourite thing in the whole of this haul, and also the box. It is one of their Colorburst Balm Stains, in the shade 'Honey' which is a lovely nude pink. I already own one of their Colorburst Laquer Balms in the shade 'Demure' which I love, and this one impresses me just as much. And it smells like peppermint as well!!
Finally I headed to the Bourjois products. I have never owned a Bourjois product before so I was excited to try this brand out. This brand had two offers - all products were 3 for 2, but you also got a free pair of Bourjois sunglasses if you bought 3 products. So of course, I bought 3 products, and picked up my free sunglasses. I will insert a picture of these (which came in a blue case) as it's hard to describe but I'm not 100% sure if they suit me or not. Oh well, they were free.
The first item I picked up from this brand is their 'Khol and Contour' pencil eyeliner in the shade 'Gris Ingenieux' which as the name suggests is a grey. I know I mentioned earlier that I hardly ever wear eye liners, but I feel like I might get along easier with this because it's not as much of a dramatic colour as black can be, and can be something to play around with. I did try looking for a white eyeliner for my waterline, but literally no brand in Boots seemed to have one, so I will continue looking. For now, I am happy with this new eyeliner purchase.
The next product is yet another lip crayon type product. This is one of their Color Boost glossy finish lipsticks in the shade 'Orange Punch'. Yes, you've guessed it, it's an orange. I only usually use nudes and casual pinks, so I was a bit unsure after buying this colour if it'd be right or not. But it is summer now, and orange is a very summer-y colour. It's not an 'in your face' orange, it is great for everyday wear and I cannot wait to use it throughout the next few months.
The final product in this haul and also from Bourjois is something I have had my eye on for AGES. It is this bronzer... the one that smells and looks like chocolate! Now, anyone who knows me knows that I am trying to slowly cut chocolate out of my diet (health reasons) but it doesn't mean I don't love chocolate! This is everything you could want in a bronzer and I'm hoping that it now means that I will use bronzers a lot more over the summer.
I honestly did not realise how long this post would have been! I bought more than I realised. My bank account is not going to be happy with me. But it's not as though I do this a lot, so the odd shopping spree every now and again isn't going to hurt.
I hope you all enjoyed reading this post and I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!
