I apologise for my absent post last week but I had quite a few things to do in general life, (as you all probably know all too well yourselves) BUT to make up for it I have a haul post!

Starting from the left, we have two sleek blushes in Flamingo (darker shade) and Pixie Pink (lighter shade). I can not wait to try these as they are such beautiful colours, Flamingo being a matt, bright, 'pop of pink' colour and Pixie Pink being a matt bright bubble gum pink. Sleek blushes are known for there silkiness and super pigmentation so I can't wait to start using these! I bought them both from Superdrug for just £4.49 each!
Stila Blush in 'all you need is love'
This is a beautiful blusher with lovely shades of pink and a gold over-spray on top of the letters. When these shades are mixed it produces a beautiful brink pink colour, very pigmented and probably one of the silkiest blushes I own. It is so pretty I almost don't want to touch it, but admire it. I bought this from Feel Unique for £12.
Borghese Nail Lacquer in 'Plumaggio Purple' and 'Patina Pearl' and Borghese Brilliante 'Base and Top coat'
These came in a nice little trio together with Plumaggio Purple that looks like a shimmery plum colour in the bottle, however when I tested this on one nail it was more of a deep blue with plum purple undertone. The Patina Pearl polish was definitely a sheer pearly shimmer colour that is great for just adding that extra something to a plain nail. The base and top coat will hopefully make the nail polishes last longer and give my nails a nice finish. I got these on sale in TK maxx for just £4.99.
TIGI Bed Head 'Elasticate' Shampoo and Conditioner
I bought this shampoo and conditioner in order to improve the condition of my hair and to also promote hair growth. These are protein based, so I am a little bit worried that these will make my hair worse by putting too much protein into my hair, however when looking at reviews of these products it seems it will do wonder's for hair... we shall see! I got the shampoo for £12.99 for a 750ml bottle (BARGAIN) and the conditioner for £11.99 for a 750ml bottle (again, BARGAIN) from Fragrance Direct.
Rimmel London Glam'eyes quad in 001 'Smokey Noir'
These little quad's I have found to be quite handy and okay in quality. I do like the colours in this palette which is matt black, shimmery dark grey, shimmery light grey and a shimmery silver. I can't wait to test this out as I do love my smokey eye looks! I got this for £2.25 from Fragrance Direct.
Lush Tea Tree Toner Water
This is actually a re-purchase because I am in love with this product! I have combination to oily skin and this has done wonders for keeping most of those spots and blackheads at bay (I say most as one or two have fought their way through). This is also so refreshing on the skin! A 250g bottle retails for £7.50, however I got this and another Lush product in exchange for my Celestial cream as the ingredients separated after only having it for a couple of months, plus it was too greasy for my skin and I ended having breakouts.
Barry M: Silk Nail paint in 'Heather' and Gelly Hi-Shine Nail paint in 'Huckleberry'
I LOVE barry M nail polishes and I really liked the look of these. Huckleberry is a pastel blue colour with a shiny finish and Heather is a beautiful pastel lilac colour with a matt finish. Such beautiful spring/summer colours! I got these for £3.99 each from Superdrug.

I love the L'Oreal Voloume Million lashes Noir Excess so I thought I would give another L'Oreal mascara a go too. I can't wait to see the results and if it is any better. I got this in a 3 for 2 deal in Boots but it is retailed at £10.99.
Rimmel London Colour Rush Balm in 'On Fire'
This is a lovely red/pink colour, with a lovely glossy finish so not too drying on my lips. I got this for £5.99 at Boots.
Maybelline New York Eye studio Gel Liner 24H in 'Black'
I couldn't help but test this straight away! I found it is so easy to use, great pigmentation and lasted till I took it off which was 12 hours later. AMAZING PRODUCT!! It also comes with its own gel liner brush. Has been called a dupe to the Mac and Bobbi Brown gel liners, some beauty guru's have said that it is even better! I got this for £7.99 from Boots.
Rimmel ScandalEyes: eye shadow stick in 'Bulletproof Beige' and waterproof Kohl Kajal in 'Nude'
These both looked so enticing! The nude eye pencil will be great for days I want a more natural look and will open my eyes more. The eye shadow stick is a beautiful colour when swatched but when I tried to test it on my eyelids the product didn't distribute evenly... maybe a bit more practise with it is required... and lots of blending? I got the Eye shadow stick for £4.49 and the Kajal eye pencil for £3.99 at Superdrug.
Thanks for reading and tell me if you have used any of these products and your thoughts about them.
Love from Sarah (e.g. LiveLoveLaugh with beauty)
