All-in-one BB Cream from Bodyshop

I just wanted to say that I love the All-in-one BB Cream foundation from Bodyshop! I think I’m going to get one in a lighter shade though that I can use during autumn/winter.

London haul

So, I came back from London last night, where I spent a few days shopping. I thought I’d share with you what I got, beauty wise. If you want to know what I got that’s not beauty head over to my other blog: www.soclisa.blogg.se. However, that blog is in Swedish, just so you know!

I didn’t get any high end makeup products, which I normally do. I’m more into the drugstore products at the moment. And there are so many good once in the UK. There are always some good offers on as well!

I got two of the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. One that I can use now and one that I can use in wintertime, when I'm more pale! Two Stay Matte powders, one that I'm gonna keep at work and one for my handbag (I've already got one at home!). I got two Scandaleyes waterproof  kohl kajal. I love this pen and use it alot. I've never tried the brown one before so I thought I'd give it a go.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I find it really hard to find Rimmels products in Sweden. It’s such a shame because they do have some really good, affordable makeup product. 

MUA (Make Up Academy) is a brand that you can only buy at Superdrug. I love their lipsticks which are £1! I’ve been thinking about doing a makeup look using only products that are really affordable and posting it on this blog. So I thought I’d try one of MUAs foundations and see if I like it. I’ll keep you posted about my “Budget look”!

The last year my eyes have become really watery, which makes wearing winged eyeliner a hassle. After a few hours my eyeliner will be all smudged (and not in a good way) or I’ll only be wearing it on one eye (so not a good look!).  So I thought I’d try one that’s waterproof. I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything from Seventeen before. So I’m really looking forward to trying this out! 

These are some Sleek products. Sleek do really good, pigmented blushes. I’ve heard really good things about their eye shadow palettes so I wanted to try one out. This is “Oh so special”, which I think is a limited edition but I’m not sure…

I also got a contouring and blush palette and a liner, which I think is actually for your eyes but I’m gonna wear it on my lips! The liner is in the shade “Pumpkin” and is a beautiful orangey color.

 

The only thing I have to say about Benefits “they’re real” mascara is, if you haven’t tried it then why the h**l not, you need to! ;)

I went into Body Shop to get their “All-in-one Instablur” (primer) which I’ve heard many good things about. While I was there I decided I wanted to try their “All-in-one BB Cream” as well. It’s meant to adapt to your natural skin color, which I find very interesting. Although they do still have different shades… which is a bit odd if it’s meant to adapt to your skin color, isn’t it?! 

Revlon’s “Just Bitten Kissable Balm stains” are some of my favourite lipsticks. So I was excited to see that Revlon had two new (well, new to me at least) collections. “Colorburst Lacquer Balm” and Colorburst Matte Balm”. I do have too many lipsticks already so I only allowed myself to buy one of each, which was REALLY hard! I really like this kind of packaging. Whoever thought about the “pen idea” is a genius! 

This was on top of my shopping list! I’ve never seen the “mini brush trio” before. It’s such a good idea and is definitely going in my handbag!  

Soap and Glory had a buy 3 for 2 offer on. So I bought the three firming serums that I’ve wanted to try out. I then thought that I would buy some more of their products when I came to the airport. When I got to the Boots store on Gatwick they didn’t have the offer on there. So annoying! And it was the same with the Aussie products. In London they had a buy 3 for £10, which is a really good offer. But they didn’t have that offer either on Gatwick. Lesson learned, don’t expect the same offers at the aiport!  

I also bought two makeup products for my eyebrows that I’m excited to try out.

Primark makeup, oh the joy!! I’ve tried their lashes before, which are good. I thought I’d get some things for my “budget makeup look” but mostly I’m really excited to try all these things out. 

That's it for my makeup haul from London. I will let you know more about the products when I've tried them out. I'm sorry I didn't put the prices out, just thought it would take a lot of time. If there is something particular you’re wondering about, please let me know!
