So I went into Boots a few days ago with the mindset of repurchasing my daily facial wash, yeah well lets just say that mindset went down the drain, why am I not surprised. So anyway from purchasing these products I thought I'd use it to my advantage and do a couple first impressions, enjoy the read X
I'd heard a couple of people talk about these blushes in the beauty industry so I thought hey they're only £1.99 each I may as well try a few. First off they have reasonable pigmentation but for the price you cant complain, although they are quite buttery so I was quite impressed in that sense! Applied to the cheeks they can be quite hard to blend, but as long as you apply a little at a time they actually do look quite pretty and for the price I wouldn't mind repurchasing!

I was on the borderline of buying this as I'd heard mixed reviews prior, but I went with it anyway because I'm always on the lookout for a cheaper alternative to the ABH Brow Wiz which is £15.50. I'm iffy about this, I'm not keen on the shape of the pencil, I cant get a precise outline for my eyebrows with it, but it is creamy and is good for creating fake 'hairlike' strokes. The sponge tip on the other hand is just rubbish in all honesty, it rubs off within around 2 hours and I'd rather just use the pencil side to fill my eyebrows in. For the price it will be good for a quick day when you want something simple but definitely not for a night out or those sharp brows haha!

I've tried this product in the past but it has been so long since I've used it I forgot what it was like and it seems to always be on offer in Boots so I was like why not its £3.49, although it was on offer. So on first impressions I... LOVE it!! It takes my eye makeup off with just a couple swipes and no tugs or pulls, no more painful eyes after using wipes yay :). I also use this just before my Ponds cleanser all over my face to make sure I wipe away the excess dirt that gets all clogged up in my pores, gross right? All in all it has not made me breakout which is a bonus & its cheap!
4: Collection Sheer Loose Powder (£2.99)
I bought this on the whim whilst I was repurchasing my oldie but goodie Collection Concealer, it caught the corner of my eye so I just popped it straight in my basket. In all honesty I'm quite glad I did because I do quite like this product, I bought it especially for the 'baking' technique to set my under eyes and below my contour. Its not finely milled like the Laura Mercier setting powder but for £2.99 you cant expect it to be perfect, however it does sit on the skin well bar the messiness of the packaging. Its got a nice yellow undertone too it which brightens the under eye too a certain extent and on a natural make-up day I would definitely pick it out to use.
5: Loreal Brow Artist Plumper
I bought this because of Emily Canham's repetitive use of it on her recent Beauty Videos on You-tube, also did not miss her pretty face on the Max Factor stand besides Loreal ;). I will say I prefer this so much too the Maybelline Brow Drama, the fact it has hair like fibres in the bristles of the brush, it creates a beautiful effect on my non-existent eyebrows! It keeps my brows in place for the most part of the day, and the fact it comes in a few shades is also great, would highly recommend to you brow fanatics like me.
