As I mentioned yesterday, I went shopping, and so today, I want to show you what I got!! I probably spent a bit too much money on makeup, but it's actually something I really enjoy, and I like experimenting with different shades of colour, so why not? It's nice to treat yourself once in a while, right?!
Before I begin this haul, I should probably say I'm not sponsored by anyone to write this.. I just did it because I wanted to.
So let's begin!!
The first thing that I picked up was the Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette in the shades Essential Mattes. I haven't actually used it yet, but my sister has one, and it's really good!! All of the colours are pigmented, and super-lovely to use. They also last pretty well, although I don't know how well they'll fare on oilier skin.
The colours in my palette aren't sparkly, shiny ones, as I didn't really want something OTT, I just wanted it to be quite natural, and gentle-looking, as I tend to do quite harsh eyeliner. The colours are also all shades that you just kind of need, really. I could probably get away with using the lightest shade as a highlight just under my eyebrow, and I could possibly even use the dark brown to fill in my eyebrows, which is pretty cool!! Not a bad buy for only £4!! Check it out here! (If you have a little explore at other products, you'll find that there is literally loads of different palettes like this, all for a similar/the same price!)
To go with the eyeshadows, I got two more brushes, as it is nice to have different shapes and sizes to do different looks, and use different colours. I got the one in the photo above, which is slightly cropped out, and the one in the photo to the right. They are both really soft, and quite nice to use. While they're not the expensive ones, they do the job, and, as I'm just getting into makeup properly, I don't want to spend loads of money on them. The top one costs £2.99, and can be found here. The second costs £2.49, and can be found here. There was also a buy one, get one half price offer, so that was pretty handy!! 
Next, I headed to the Barry M station to pick up the Kohl Pencil in white. This is because I read somewhere that you can use a white Kohl pencil as an eyeshadow primer to make colours appear more vibrant and pigmented. I thought it would be pretty cool to check out!! They can also be used around your tear duct to make you appear more awake. (Never line your waterlines, as it causes your tear duct to go funny, and you may have to have an operation to amend it. Just don't do it). I've not actually used this, but I have tried it out on the back of my hand, and it's very pigmented, and the liner is soft and creamy, which is good!! It's £2.99 and you can check it out here. Again, this is available in loads of different colours, so feel free to mix and match!! 
I also needed a new eyeliner, so I picked up Barry M's Blink Precision Eyeliner in black (of course!). The reviews for this are kind of mixed, so I don't really know what to expect of this, but it seems to be good. It seems to be a good colour, from the test I did on the back of my hand, but I don't know how long that will last. Ah, well, I'll let you guys know!! You can click here to take a look at it, and it costs £4.59. 
Now, because I spent over £6 in Barry M, I got a lovely new nail polish for free!! So I got the Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Sparkling Amethyst. It is such a pretty colour, you can see it in the photo above, kind of, and in really good light, there are so many sparkles.. (However, I was wearing dark purple nail varnish, then I pained over it, so it might look totally different without it..) It also really is super shiny, which is great. If you want to buy it, click here! It originally costs £3.99, and honestly, I would pay that for it, because it's a great little product!!
The final thing that I got from Superdrug was the Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make-up Remover, because I was running out of the one I usually use, and I couldn't find what I was looking for. This was only £1.65 in some sale thing, so click here to buy it, I guess? I would actually really recommend this to anyone who wears a lot of waterproof makeup (which you shouldn't do everyday, by the way! It's bad for you!!!) because I usually struggle with removing my waterproof mascara, but this actually did the job brilliantly!! It's also really gentle, and doesn't have any sort of smell, really. The only thing I should say about this is, it leaves your skin feeling slightly sticky, and you should probably wash your face/eyes with water straight after using it, because I didn't do this right away last night, and my eyes were stinging a little bit. It could just be me, but be careful about that. Hmm.. There isn't really much I can say about this.. It does the job it's supposed to. That's all, really...
So that's all that I got from Superdrug!! It might not seem like much, but it was to my wallet/purse!! I hope that some of you guys might be interested in checking out these products, and if you want me to do a little review once I've used them, let me know!!
The only other things I got yesterday were bus tickets, tea, toast, and a candle that smells of clean sheets. I feel so tumblr right now because of that candle..
Okay, so that's that, hahah!!
Bye for now,
- Dottie!!
