Oops I did it again…I sometimes think I should have called this blog
Danielle’s Beauty Hauls because of the amount I buy but anyhoo here’s what I
picked up last week when Boots had their infamous 3 for 2 on Maybelline, 2 for
£10 on Revlon and spend £15 on Bourjois and get a free gift!
Maybelline The Nudes palette
I swatched this in store and thought the pigmentation was amazing for a
highstreet palette. While I still think the pigmentation is brilliant the
lasting power of these shadows is not there for me! I always use either Too
Faced Shadow Insurance or Benefit Stay don’t Stray as a primer and compared to
the lasting power of something like Urban Decay eye shadows these don’t last a
full day! Great if you are starting out with eye shadows though!
Maybelline Master Sculpt in 02 Medium/Dark
I jumped on board the bandwagon with this one, I had seen it all over
blogs and wanted some of the action for myself! I originally ordered the
Light/Medium shade then swatched instore before picking up my delivery and
exchanged for the darker one. The light is a little more warm toned and orange
in colour than I first though while the Medium/Dark is more cool toned and
brown! I didn’t get on with this the first few times I tried it, I thought it wasn’t
picking up enough colour so I changed brushes and its working a lot better for
me now! To be honest I never really highlight my face so I haven’t used the
highlighter section of this yet but I like the contour now!
Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 Hour Leather
Effect in Creamy Beige
I thought this would be a great base for eye shadows and that it would
be lighter in colour than it is. I’ve only used it once and used it on its own but
found it to be very warm toned with a red/orange undertone which I didn’t like!
If you have a better way of using this please let me know!
Bourjois 12 hour Aqua Blush in 01
Inge-nude
I loved the concept and texture of these however it does not show up on
my face! Like at all, and believe me I have tried, it also smells of yoghurt! I've
been using it with a Real Techniques stippling brush so I might try again with
my fingers to see if than makes a difference! Maybe it’s the shade I have!
Bourjois Brow Beauty Touch Eye
Illuminating Pencil
I thought this would be great for quickly highlighting under the brow
bone but the pencil is so hard I can get hardly any payoff! Really disappointed
with this!
Bourjois Free Gift including a Kabuki
brush, Colourboost lip crayon in Peach on the Beach and Maxi Delight bronzer
This is a really great free gift, everything is full size, Peach in the
beach is lovely and bright and perfect for Summer and while I haven’t tried the
bronzer on my face yet it will look lovely with a tan because of the golden
shimmer in it!
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Rose
I've been meaning to pick up one of these for ages and finally settled
on the colour Rose which is a lovely moisturising pink colour that’s not too in
your face! All the reviews I read said the packaging of these was awful and so
easy to ruin the lipstick when putting the cap back on and I have to agree, I
took a chunk out of it the other day but otherwise it’s a great colour and I want
to pick up a few more! Bit of a weird smell though!
Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balm in Elusive
Speaking of in your face colours this is just that! Although it says
its matte I find it to be very hydrating and it doesn’t cling to any dry
patches on my lips but this colour is a lot more noticeable on the lips than Rose!
MUA Lipstick in the shade Juicy
I saw a FOTD a few weeks ago (I can’t remember who’s sorry :()and I
loved the lip colour so called into Superdrug and couldn’t say no the this £1
lipstick! It’s really pigmented and seems to go on quite thick so I like to put
some on my lips then even it out with my finger for a more natural finish!
So that’s my latest Boots Haul, hope you enjoyed! If you want to see my

list :)
P.S. I just edited this to make the pictures bigger so hopefully you can see them better! I think the writing in the sidebar is over a few of them but I will work on that another day haha! Thanks to Sam @ Beautydetour for explaining how to do it :)
