Small Beauty Haul!

Last week I made a sneaky purchase from Superdrug's website, while they were offering free shipping (it would be rude not to, right?). This is what I picked up...


Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush-Sandy Sun/Drive Me Nude? £5.99
(I'm not entirely sure what the shade name of this is. On the Boots website, and the product itself, it's called Drive Me Nude, but the Superdrug website are calling it Sandy Sun?)

Anyway, as I haven't seen many blog posts about these new lip crayons yet, I limited myself to one shade (it was so hard to choose, I was stuck between 4). In the end I settled on Drive Me Nude, which is a beautiful pinky nude, a great every day shade.






First Impressions:
  • Not drying at all on the lips like some other lip crayons (Revlon JBKBS, I'm looking at you!)
  • Not Sticky
  •  Gorgeous range of natural colours
  •  Decently pigmented
  •  Delicious vanilla scent (think MAC lipsticks)

Rimmel Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Liner £5.49
I have been looking for a felt tip liner for a while now and, as Superdrug had a buy 1 get the 2nd half price offer going on, I thought I would give Rimmel's version a whirl.


First Impressions:
  •  Good pigmentation
  •  Doesn't pull at the eyelid
  • Easy to use
Samples
Superdrug had put a couple of samples in my parcel (I do love surprises). The first, which I have already fallen head over heels for, is the new Katy Perry fragrance, Killer Queen. It smells so fruity and warm, my Purr-fect autumnal scent (see what I did there? No? OK). Seeing as I've nearly finished my Marc Jacobs perfume, I have the perfect excuse for a new scent.

The other sample is from a brand I've never heard of, This One. It's a hair repair treatment, which I desperately need right now. I don't know why but my hair hates me at the moment (the feeling's mutual), so at the weekend there will be a serious pamper session going on and I will put this little purple sachet to the test. At this stage it might take a miracle!
