No7 brush set

I'd been on the look out for a new (small) but complete make up brush set2, I find I never really use the lip brushes and I so rarely wear eyeshadow I wasn't too fussed about eye brushes, so am more interested in the face brushes.

After making the boyf listen to me drone on for a while, he comes home with the No7 brush set complete with zipped wallet!

He explained that it was on the Boots 3 for 2 so also picked up a new organiser for me and an eyeliner set for my daughter. Therefore, if I didnt love them theres no real waste and I get a chance to try out a brand I havent yet used.

The brush set was £20.00 from Boots

I havent yet tried them out but they feel very soft and lush, and I love the wallet, a gorgeous purple.

Have any of you tried the No7 brushes?
What do you think?!
What other brands would you recommend?!

A blush obsession....?

So I realised I cant seem to pop into town these days without bringing home a blush or two!!

Always powder blush, not sure how I feel about creme blush!

But anyway, so today I picked up 2 Rimmel lasting finish soft colour blushes
In 050 Live Pink & 010 Santa Rose

The Live Pink is a gorgeous vibrant pink, that is perfect for my skin tone
And the Santa Rose is a neutral peachy colour for those days of less is more!

I cant wait to wear them.

See pics and swatches, hopefully you can pick out the Santa Rose properly

What do you guys think of my new blushes!? What are your favourite blushes? Brands and shades?!

Boots Mini Make up Haul

Hi guys :)

I popped into town today on a mission to pick up a new foundation, after debating whether to try out a pressed powder (which i have never used) I decided to stick to a liquid foundation as I know where I stand with those. So I popped  into Boots and had a little look and ended up coming out with a couple of bits, here is my little haul ;

 I decided to get a new foundation brush and have heard good things about  the real Techniques I got the base/flawless foundation brush

I picked up the No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in warm beige

 And the No7 Concealer Stick again in warm beige.

And bonus... Boots have a No7 promotion on at the moment, buy 2 No7 items and receive the No7 Perfect Lips Kit free!!

Here is what is in the kit;

No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick - Classic Rose, No7 High shine Lip Gloss - Smile, No7 Lip Brush

I cant wait to try out all my new goodies, and I'll be sure to post a review and pics when i use it all together.

More new make up purchases

I popped into my local superdrug today in search of a bb cream, I've never used one before so I'm excited to get to grips with it
The sales assistant recommended the Gosh bb cream, as they do a better range for darker skin tones apparently
So I picked up a 03 warm beige, this product has an Spf 15 rating.
On my way to the till I couldnt help (as always) but to look at the MUA stand, I find it such great value and have so far loved all the products ive tried, and today I picked up their 'Out there plumping lip gloss in pin up pink' I love the name!

What do you guys think?!
