DRUGSTORE HAUL & SWATCHES



With NYX stands popping up all over UK (finally), I sought out the closest one to me and went on payday (bad idea?). I hear so many good things about NYX, my first purchase from them was a matte lip cream in Copenhagen, which I've yet to give another chance as the first time I used it, it was patchy and very easily smudged. But, I do love the colours and many people rate them so I wanted to pick another one up.

NYX PURCHASES



Before & After 
    

MAKEUP REVOLUTION PURCHASES




SLEEK PURCHASES

Sleek Matte Me in Velvet Slipper




Sleek Matte Me in Fandango Purple


RIMMEL PURCHASES

Rimmel London Volume Colourist Mascara



I do wish I could of got more NYX products, but as you can imagine, it was so busy and many products were out of stock. I didn't wish to fight anyone in the heat we've had recently. I was very happy to see the new (see Velvet Slipper) Sleek's Matte Me's have changed from the flat applicator wand, to a standard doe foot wand. I also included a picture of Rimmel Volume Colourist Mascaras wand, I was impressed to see how fluffy it made my lashes, so I'm happy I've finally found a wand that does this!

So what do you think? What did you buy in your last haul? Do you have any recommendations for me?

DEVIL & DOLL

Happy Halloween week! If you know me, you will know I have been very excited for Halloween this year. It is the first Halloween that I have had my blog, so I can share lots of weird and wonderful looks with you all! 7 Days of Halloween will include a blog post a day, from today until Halloween! I have, and will continue to, put a lot of effort into these looks and ideas.  I just want to give a quick shout out to all my amazing friends and family who have helped me with putting this together - whether it be letting me loose on your faces, helping me with ideas or simply reviewing my looks for me!  

Veet Sensitive Precision Beauty Styler

I finally managed to get my hands on the Veet Sensitive Precision Beauty Styler . I have always had my eyebrows threaded, except for the last time that my eyebrows were in dire need of attention, I decided to have a go at plucking them myself. I have plucked them before but not to fully shape. I did a pretty good job, to be fair and felt more at ease at touching my eyebrows myself instead of a professional. And I actually did prefer the way I done them, because I was being cautious, I didn't take too much off and realised just how thin my salon was threading them. So, when I saw the Veet Beauty Styler advertised, I knew I needed to give it a go.

FREEDOM EYEBROW POMADE REVIEW WITH TUTORIAL

I have always been quite simple with my brows and used a pencil and/or an eyebrow powder. My eyebrows looked good and didn't take much effort. I've never gone for another product as I thought it would be more time consuming. Noticing my local Superdrugs now has a Freedom stand, on a whim I picked up Freedom Pro Brow Pomade  after hearing such good reviews on it. I hear it's a great dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade , plus it's 1/3 of the price!
