April Haul

The other day I did a little bit of shopping and I thought I would share with you what I got. Most of the things I bought in Poundland and Poundworld as they had some amazing deals in. I ended up buying quite a few nail polishes not that I really needed them as I already have quite a large collection.

First up both Poundland and Poundworld often have a large range of Revlon nail polishes and this time 3 colour took my eye. The first is Ruby Ribbon which is a gorgeous sparkly pink colour with silver sparkles in it. Next is a lovely mint green colour called Minted which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. The last Revlon polish I got was Barely Bones which is a favourite of Essiebutton     when I saw her talk about it I liked the colour but wasn't sure if it would suit me and I didn't want to spend £7.99 in case I didn't like it. So when I saw it for a pound I knew I had to pick it up as even if I don't like it I haven't lost too much. 

I also picked up a China Glaze crackle polish in the shade Tarnished Gold, I haven't tried anything from China Glaze before so it will be interesting to see what this is like. I bought a lot of crackle nail polishes from OPI also from Poundland but I didn't get a gold one so this will fit well in my collection. I got this lovely pastel lilac shade from Sinful Colours in the shade Mauve which I thought would be lovely for spring/summer. 

I picked up 3 Revlon Baby Sticks which are cream blushes. I got the shades Sunset, Tahitian and Pink Passion. I thought that these would be great for spring/summer. When I swatched them they weren't that pigmented but I have used Pink Passion and it doesn't look too bad but I am glad I didn't pay full price for them. 

The last 2 things I got are lip products. I saw this Maybelline Baby Lips and I don't believe that this is one that we can buy in Boots so I thought I'd get it as you can never have too many lipbalms. I went to Superdrug and picked up one of Tanya Burr's lipgloss. I was very excited when she launched her lipglosses and nail polishes and I had wanted to try them and then they released them into Superdrug so I knew I had to go and get something. I was restrained and only got one item a lipgloss in the shade Exotic Island I wanted to try one before I went crazy and bought more colours. I have to say I am very impressed and I will be getting more shades.

Maybelline Baby Lips Worth The Hype?

When these launched in the UK the beauty world went crazy after years of watching and reading US bloggers rave about these it was time for us to try them in the UK. Now I was a bit sceptical about these I thought that they wouldn't live up to the hype and that they would be a waste of money. I'd previously tried the Miss Sporty version the Dr Balms and I hated them so I didn't have much hope for these. I decided that I would only get one if they were in my Boots or Superdrug and usually they don't have much stock so I was expecting them to have them but when they did I decided on Cherry Me. 

Firstly lets talk about the packaging, I love it. The packaging is fun and colourful so is very nice to have in my collection. The bright colours make it stand out in my collection and also makes it easier to find in my handbag. 

The promise of 8 hours moisturise is false I'd say it gives around 2 hours before I feel the need to reapply which is quite good for a lip balm. It does make my lips feel really soft which is good as I thought that it might be drying but it isn't.

The tint is quite sheer and it adds a nice tint to the lips. I have been wearing this a lot at school because it is easy to wear and it isn't noticeable that you need to reapply as sometimes it is difficult to reapply a lipstick whilst I'm at school. I love the scent of this it smells yummy and I have loved using this. That being said I don't think you need to buy all 6. If I was to get another one I would get one of the clear ones as these contain SPF15 but the tinted ones don't which I find slightly annoying as I want SPF in my lip balm so that it helps protect my lips. These are very affordable and I recommend trying them and if you don't like them then you haven't lost too much money.  

Overall I really like this product but I would not go out of my way to buy the others in the range.
