If you follow my Facebook page you will know that I have stared a product of the week feature, however I have been poorly this week so no products have been used…although other people probably wished I had used some kind of beauty product! I can only apologise for that.
As a result of feeling unwell, I decided on Saturday that enough was enough and I needed to make myself look and in turn feel better. In my mind this lead to some shopping, comfort shopping? Work with me here! I would like to point out that the beauty purchases made, were not helped by Boots having a promotion on (buy on get 1 half price), they only enable the problem!
I picked up some Rimmel Stay Matte powder, as the loose Rimmel powder I have is just way to messy and I can't cope with it going everywhere all the time. It will be getting softy exchanged for this much more drawer friendly powder. The colour is 001 Transparent, perfect for dusting over make up to help is set and last. This L'oreal blush in Rosewood I saw in a recent tutorial and loved how it looked, so of course I had to have it. Immediately. It a lovely warm colour, so will be great for autumn when more rich colours make there way back to us. Maybelline The Rocket Volume Express also made its way into my bag, who doesn't want long volumed lashes? Of course no boots promotion that involves Essie gets past me and so I had to pick up a new shade. Sticking with the autumn theme I decided on Sole Mate, a lovely deep plum colour. As much as I love summer with bright colours and pastels, you can never go wrong with a deep dark colour for Autumn/Winter.
My whole reason for entering boots was my need for the Real Techniques Buffing Brush, I have seen a lot of people use this and switch between the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and, well I have no other reason that I too felt I needed to be switching it up! This brush is only available in the Core Collection, so there is a contouring, pointed foundation and detailer brush all in this collection. I did only want the buffing brush, but lets be honest I will use the others and love all the other Real Technique brushes I have so seems like a sound investment.
Leaving boots and going on to my favourite purchase is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 4. I have wanted this for a while and kind of forgot/put it off as I got distracted by other make up and shiny things! But, I couldn't resist this anymore. It looks flawless on and can be sheer or built up, really the best of both worlds.
Lastly, and a little impulsed if I'm honest, was the Australian Native Botanicals Shampoo and Conditioner. I have never heard of this brand, tried it, read anything on it. I just saw it, read no sulphate, loved that it was a pump and next thing I was paying for it. I will need to report back on this one, and see how I get on with it.
