So this post is about my recent short shopping trip. I only went out for hair dye and makeup....and that's exactly what I bought.
Hair dye and makeup. =]
Can you guess how much this haul cost? Guess! It cost £14.99 ....bet you didn't think it was going to be that cheap!
Normally I get Revlon hair dye which you can only buy online and in certain salon supplier shops (not Sally's unfortunately). But since I am going away tomorrow, I didn't have time to order any. So Live XXL shall have to do. And yes, it does take 3 boxes to do my hair. It's a little long and extremely thick!
Luckily, Superdrug were doing 3 boxes for £9.99 so that was good.
The makeup is all Collection 2000. Their old stuff, mind you. I've found out that at least one of the shades of Dazzle Me! dust is discontinued, and I'd bet probably a few of the others are too. They were all from poundland in packs of 2. Poundland! So basically, I got these beauties for 50 pence a piece.
Mystery: A dark shade with greeny-blue shimmer. This is a discontinued shade. Very pretty though, so I'm glad to have found it.
Tinkerbell: Green. Not very shimmery at all, but lovely and bright. Exactly how I like my eyeshadows to be.
Spellbound: Blue. Not shimmery at all. I wore this one to college because it matched the trim on my uniform. People complimented it. Personally, I love it. So vibrant. Lush.
Enigma: Very green. Very shimmery. I accidentally bought 2 of these because there was one in a pack with "Spellbound" and one with "Tinkerbell". I couldn't choose between the two, so I ended up with double of these. Lovely shade though so I don't mind one bit.
Jaffa: Speaks for itself. Orange. Not that shimmery, but I want to eat it. Mmmm...Jaffa cake...
Inky: A dark shade with blue-purple shimmer. Very similar to "Mystery", just with a different colour shimmer. I love it so so much!
Paradise: Quite pale. Quite shimmery. Pretty much just shimmer. Pretty.
Fairy Dust: It's purple shimmer. What more can I say?
Groupie: A blue-turquoise liquid eyeliner. It's really nice. Goes on easily and fairly thickly (in a good way) and stays on. The only issue with that is it means it's a little hard to get off when you want to remove it. But in general it's an awesome coloured eyeliner. I'd go so far as to say one of the best I have ever bought!
Not the best lighting or angle, and it's only a very fine layer of each product, but you get the point. From top to bottom: Paradise, Jaffa, Fairy Dust, Spellbound, Inky, Tinkerbell, Enigma, Mystery.
So there you have it. My £5 makeup and my 3 boxes of hair dye.
Good haul do you think?
Love B xxxxx
P.S. Photographing at a festival this weekend, so no posts until Monday at the earliest. But when the photos go up when I get back, they'll be here. So go check it out and "like" my page =D
I use this Live colour when I run out of La Riche Directions, or my roots need a good cover!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it takes you 3 boxes, I barely use one! Wow!
Love the eyeshadows, particularly Tinkerbell =)
