Goodies from a Blog Sale

Early last week, Maria Sparkle had a blog sale and I picked up a few things that I really liked. Apart from the 2 O.P.I Nail polishes in Pearls Night Out and Text me, text you and I also picked up  . . .

URBAN DECAY'S NAKED PALETTE!!!!

 The colours don't really look used, but you can tell sin, sidecare, half baked, virgin have been used a little more than the other palette colours but I really don't mind in the slightest.

Since I have got my sticky fingers on this velvet cased beauty, I will be doing a sanitary post showing you how I sanitize eyeshadows (not that there's anything wrong with Maria of course) but it really is something that is worth making a post about.

Kate Moss For Rimmel

"Look what I've got" 
* sing-song voice*


On a totally impromptu trip to the Bond Street Superdrug this week, I locked eyes on the Kate Moss Collection for Rimmel and it really does look every bit as appealing as I heard (and read) it would be.

Bronzed and Patriotic . . Reminds me of a certain Person I know ;)
The Eyeshadows which come in a range of purples, browns, greens and a really random Union flag coloured blue,white and pink combination, looked really pigmented (and patriotic), while the casing for the lipstick looked absolutely gorgeous!!! I know you shouldn't judge a make up product by its packaging but this time I have to make an exception.
I picked up the Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 08, which comes in a pinky brown shade; perfect for a nude lippie *for me anyway* and also the bronzed out eyeshadow palette. So far I've had a little play around with both the lippies and eyeshadows and I actually really love the way the shades show up on my skin. I can't preach about the durability yet but I feel it the eyeshadow should last for a good while before becoming dull but then again only time will tell.

The Holy Grail of Bargains . . . .

Here I was, doing my daily rounds of shifting through my favourite blogs, when a post from Katie of  Lady from a Tramp, struck my eye. Ruby and Millie Brushes at Boots where going for £1.66 or 44p at local Boots stores!! *heavenly chords being played at this point* 
  So of course, hearing this lil info I decided to leg it all the way to my nearest Boots (in the pouring rain *might I add*), praying the whole time that the Ruby and Millie i-Define Brush was still in stock because me and that brush . . . .well I don't like to toot my own horn but magical things happen when we are together loool
When I got there they only had one i-Define brush left, an eye brush and a lip brush . . . I was a little bit gutted because I actually wanted at least 3 or so of the i-Define brushes as they are such good quality and I seem to go through them *i.e. lose them* very quickly. I did get the last brush (obviously) and I also picked up the lip brush because I loved the feel and shape of it . . . the eye brush however was going NOWHERE near my shopping trolley (lets face it that eye brush lets down the whole range).
Made it to the till and sure enough the brushes have gone from approx £7 to £1.66 to 44p loooool. The lady at the checkout actually put the brushes through the system 3 TIMES because she thought it was a mistake


 *LOVE IT!!!*

Random Thought - Are Boots pushing out Ruby and Millie from their stores? *hmmmmm*
