The weather has been disgusting for quite some time now, so what does a British girl do when she's bored and the rain is bringing her down? GO TO THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET! Surely, only me? The rain was so bad that I had to stop my poor car at one point, the things I do for a beauty haul ey! My 'local' supermarket isn't that erm, local at all. It's quite a trek, well about 15 minutes but it's HUGE and sells everything. This supermarket (Tesco) is in a kind of centre, including a Superdrug next door to it. If you haven't heard of Superdrug, it's just a British version of a drug store, it sells make up, hair stuff and blah de blah!
Anyway, So first I went into Tesco. I've been looking into buying YSL's touch éclat for years now, but can't bring myself to buy it. I read on couture girl's blog that Loreal have done their own version, and gosh was I happy when I found out. All weekend I've been trying to find this product but nope, sold out. Everywhere. AND when I did find it, it was £10.00, which is extremely steep for Loreal, a high street make up brand!? It was no longer on Boot's 3 for 2 offer and Superdrug had 0 in stock.
To my surprise, TESCO, my local supermarket (home of all things food and water) had hundreds of it in stock. AND, to make it even better, it was on a three for two offer! I was soo happy. So happy in fact that, I fell for their trick and like a good consumer bought two items when ordinarily, I just wanted the one. Tesco win, I lose, out of pocket BUT my make up bag is growing. So, the three items I chose; I decided to opt for an over priced primer, because it looked good. Absolutely tiny but surely at £14.00 (gasp, for Loreal - Outrageous, I know) it must be good? Hah, how wrong could I be.Can't wait to review this for you and warn any of you from buying it!
As well as this I got two luminating sticks, because I was hoping that they'd be amazing and why get the one when I'd get one free anyway? I was alll smiles!
Next I went into Superdrug and stocked up on some MUA, the brand which I have never purchased before. I thought, why not. I needed a new thick concealer, well okay, I didn't need one at all as I only bought a MAC one a week ago but hey, why have one concealer when I can have two. I got two eye liners, nail varnish and a cute lip balm. Also got some face masks, moisturiser and a delivery of St Tropez before I went out that afternoon. I won two bottles of St Tropez in a competition, I haven't used the stuff for yeaaaars as I am a complete xen-tan princess (lol) now, No i really am, deeeeeeef the BIGGEST fan. But the new packaging looks swanky so I will use it but I have extremely high expectations now that I am an avid Xen-tan user.
Last but certainly not least, I found a new brand called VIVO in my supermarket, who knew that supermarkets were so up to date with make up? At only £5.00 I got super excited and put this straight in my basket. They do so many cool little sets like this and I just haddd to buy this after wanting Benefit's brow palette which is triple the price for ever now. I cannot wait to tell you all about it later on in the week.
Well, I think I had a great haul. I hope you'll all agree!
Once again, thanks for all your support and comments. I couldn't do it without you all.
Love yaalll.
