Collective Beauty Haul

Hi Ladies. 

In the last few weeks I've managed to pick up a few beauty products and I just thought I'd tell you what I'd got and where from :-) 

 - Hair Products - 

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream

I bought this in the Superdrug Clearance for £1.99, It smells really good and I really like it so far. I'll be reviewing it for you soon! 

Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo

This is a re-purchase for me, I love Batiste Dry Shampoo. My roots get oily very quickly and this bad boy allows me some extra time so that I'm not washing my hair every day. I picked this 200ml bottle up in ASDA for £2 

- Skincare - 

St.Ives Dry and Sensitive Skin Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes

I found these on offer in Superdrug and I really like them, I usually just use baby wipes to take off my makeup but I'm having trouble with my skin being dry this Winter, so I thought I'd gives these a try. 

St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub (Blemish Fighting)

This is a another re-purchase for me! I love everything about this scrub, it's great for taking off making and doesn't dry out my skin. I also think it does help to prevent blackheads and blemishes. Not completely but it helps, which for the price is great! Again I bought this is Superdrug on offer for £1.99.

 - Makeup - 

GOSH X-Ceptional Wear Foundation in 12 Natural 

This is my third tube of this foundation, I love the matte finish, the coverage and the shades you can get. They do one of the best Porcelain shades for drugstore in my opinion. I picked up Natural this time though for the up coming months. I bought this in Superdrug for £7.99

Natural Collection Pressed Powder in Warm 

I decied last week that I needed a new pressed powder after I used up all my Laura Geller Balance and Brighten. I'd heard some good things about the Natural Collection range from Boot's at at £1.99 I decided to give them a try. I really like it so far and will be reviewing soon :-) 

MUA Extreme Curl Mascara 

I needed a new mascara and wanted to try out some of the MUA ones, I have to say I'm not very impressed so far. I'll be talking about it more in another post. I picked this up in Superdrug for £2

MUA Lip Boom in It's A Situation. 

I've been loving the 'vampy' look these last few weeks but I don't have any dark lip colours that I really love, then I remember that I had seen a post on this particular colour months back and really liked the look of it. I'm very impressed, I love it! I picked this up in Superdrug for £3. 

So that's everything I've bought over the last few weeks, I have some lovely new things to review :-)

June Favourites :-)

Hullo Ladies!

It's finally July! June seemed so long to me....really slow :-( 

Probably the awful weather we've been having here in Wales, here's hoping July will have a bit more sun :-)

Here are some of the products I have been loving lately! 

Makeup

• Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette
• Bourjois Round Eyeshadow Pot's in Argent, Blanc Diaphane and Gris Delicat
• GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick in Darling
• Bourjois Lip Gloss in Rose Lyric - Review -  Here
• GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Green Boost

I seem to forget about the 15th Anniversary Palette because I always go for the Naked Palette but lately I have decided to use it more so the last few weeks I've made sure to use at least one shadow from it everyday. I'm loving Tainted and Omen :-) 

Fragrance

The Body Shop's Satsuma Body Mist

Nails

REVIEW - Batiste - Dry Shampoo

Hullo beautiful people!

I refrained from buying this for the longest time because as a woman with a sensitive scalp I was worried that I would have some sort of reaction either a heck load of dandruff or a itchy scalp...maybe even the possible horror of both!

Sadly I'm also a woman with naturally greasy hair so about six months ago when I was fed up with having to wash my hair everyday, I caved. 

To me this is a holy grail product! 

It's a god send because now I'm not worried about stepping out of the house in between wash days. I also do not suffer from any reaction, although I make sure I wash my hair the same night I use the product, I wouldn't want to leave it for any longer. 

I buy the Tropical scented one as it smells amazing and I like the thought of my hair smelling like Coconut!

Apparently you can also use this product to gain volume, by lifting sections of your hair and spraying this underneath. I haven't tried this because I already have quite thick wavy hair. 

When I use it I don't do anything fancy, just spray on my roots, making sure the bottle is 30cm away from my head like the bottle instructs you :-) 

Your hair then turns a powdery white colour which goes when you brush your hair. 

They have lots of different versions and scents so there's plenty of choice if you don't fancy the tropical one so don't worry!  They even have some now with gold shimmer added to it, lovely for summer nights out :-) 

I picked up this 200ml today because I ran out on the weekend and I was happy to find that Superdrug have a sale on them right now, I only payed £1.45 for this bottle which is usually priced at £2.99.

 I'm hopefully going back tomorrow to get a few more, maybe try a new scent! 

Have you tired this product? Love or Hate? 

Thanks, Linzi xxx
