Superdug & Body Shop Haul

So this saturday i finished work early, this is rare for me and i felt kind of at a lose end having a free afternoon. So i decided to go into town for some (not needed) retail therapy.

I had been lusting over a few things from superdrug and was running low on body butter so thought i might aswell go for a mooch round the body shop. Im going on holiday in just under 3 weeks so i'm trying not to buy things if i don't need them but i just couldn't help myself and i justified it with the fact that i don't get time to go into town so i wouldn't be visiting either of the shops in the near future.



The Body Shop
1.Brazil Nut body butter £13.00
2. Peach body butter £13.00
3. Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub £7.00 (was a free gift)

Superdrug
1. Bourjois Colour Boost "03 orange punch"£7.99
2. Bourjois cream blush "02 healthy glow" £7.99
3. Sleek blush by 3 Candy Limited Edition £9.99
4. MUA undress me to eyeshadow palette £4.00


Im sure your all aware of how amazing the body shop body butters are and how amazing they smell, its the product they are most famous for. I always get brazil nut i love the smell so much and is one of my holy grail products. As i am going on holiday i wanted a more fruity fresh smell for that so i've gone for peach it smelt like i could of actually eat it and i'm looking forward to using it on my holibobs.
I signed up for body shops loyalty cards to receive money off every so often and free gifts on my birthday (who could say no to free gifts) it was only £2.40 for the card and i received a free gift of the foot exfoliator which i'm sure will come in really handy at work for pedicures.





My swatches aren't great i no, i'm still trying to get the hang of taking perfect swatch pictures (sure ill get there one day) On the left is the bourjois colour boost. I love the concept of this a giant lip pencil that applies like a lipstick but looks like a gloss without the stickiness i can see my self using this when im running late for work or in a rush,
. I love the packaging and the fact you can twist the bottom to move it up. no sharpener need!!! Yayyyyyy cause lets face it nobody's got time to sharpen things that big. im also loving orange tones at the moment i think the thought of going on holiday and actually being in the sun. On  the right is one of the new bourjois cream blush i've never used a cream blush before but i've read a couple of other bloggers raving about these so i thought id give it a go.



Now this is the bad boy i've had my eye on for a while, i think sleek is such a great drug store range and really affordable  You can get lots of great colour blushes and their eyeshadow palettes are amazing. This limited addition blush candy palette contains 1 cream blush (far left) and 2 powder blushes, i normally go for quite bland blush colours but i want to be more daring im really looking forward to trying the lilac toned one (the middle) and experimenting and with such a great pricetag its hard to resist.

I have never purchased anything MUA before but have seen people rave about it and everything is so affordable. This palette was only £4.00!! ONLY £4.00!!!!!!!! i couldn't believe it. I love smokey eyes and this looked like the perfect thing for that. I tried to swatch this on my wrist but i got in the biggest state of my life (deffo need to work on the swatches) but from what ive used so far the pigmentation in them looks fab not sure how long they will stay on my eyelids for but 'ive got such positive feeling about this one and my next night out this will be the palette i am using.




Did you buy anything nice this weekend? Have you used any of these products leave links to your blogs so i can read your opinion on them?
