A festive Boots haul


It's been a while since I've bought myself any makeup and after receiving my marks back for my first university assignment (which I got 81% on) I thought it was time to treat myself. I love buying makeup at this time of year as there are so many gifts with purchase which are super hard to refuse hence my haul. I'm not going to talk about what was in the gifts with purchase as it will make this super long but if you do have any questions about them leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you. 

First off I have been looking at giving the Maxfactor miracle match foundation a go for such a long time and when I saw they had a gift for purchase I decided it was time to give it a go. I am so glad I picked this up, I am so impressed with the way it sits on my super dry skin and I can honestly say it is one of the best foundations I've tried from the drugstore. To get my total haul from Maxfactor up to £15 I also decided to give one of their liquid shadows a go. After trying the Essence liquid shadows which I absolutely love I've been looking to try some more. I went for the shade coffee which is quite a cool toned bronze shade but I thought it would make the perfect base for a brown smokey eye. 

Moving onto Bourjois I went a little crazy for the new Rouge velvet lipsticks as I've heard such good things about them. It didn't help that they were also on three for two and had a £2 off introductory offer. I picked up six shades but another can in the gift with purchase so I'm definitely going to be putting up a review but for now I can say that I am incredibly impressed with them, the only think is I wish the colour selection was a little wider as although the shades are gorgeous they all have a very similar tone to them. Randomly I also picked up a little EOS Sphere lip balm in a limited edition peppermint flavour because it's just so cute and I love a good minty lip balm. 

So that's it for today, I'd love to know what drugstore makeup you have picked up recently.
