Some Purchases and Some Gifties

Well as I mentioned yesterday my spending diet for this month has already went a bit out of the window -whoops :(
I went to Superdrug yesterday to pick up a few goodies to send to one of my lovely followers and I bought myself something! One little thing but it made me happy - Superdrug currently have an offer on Barry M lip products where you can buy 2 lip products for £7 - I bought a few bits and to make up the offer I got this item from my wishlist :)

The Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon on No 5 Ballet Pink :) -this is such a gorgeous colour and a lovely smooth texture - its coming up more silvery, white in my swatch but the point colour is more realistic :)I'm really pleased to have this :)

I am indeed a naughty LouLou and I also bought something on ebay on Sunday night which came this morning :) I watched a video from sarahlittlecutie (check it out here) - talking about and demonstrating The Brush Guard. I was intrigued so I ordered a set of eyeshadow ones from the seller she recommended to try out - to be honest I don't look after my brushes that well I am good with cleaning but I tend to just leave them lying about in the bathroom where they are fair game for cat toys - argh - so I thought they might protect them a bit and encourage me to take care of them - I'll do a review etc. on them when I have tried them out a bit

Anyway back to yesterday me and my mum popped into Aldi - despite having one pretty close to us we don't go in that often - I was interested to have a look at the Lacura brand - I have heard lots of good things about there skin care so I got the Lacura Face Care Balancing Day Cream (£1.99 for 50ml) and some 3 in 1 Facial Cleansing Wipes (77p for 25 wipes)

I am a sucker for expensive skin care so I will do a review on these items at some point for you x
I also noticed that they did a make up line - typically the testers had either been wrecked or were missing but I had a look through the boxes and picked up a Lacura Beauty Lip Gloss in 200 Coral (£1.99 for 8ml)

I will do a full review of this a some point but just from the swatch I did I am impressed -it seems a gorgeous peachy pink colour :) (Aldi have some more information on their beauty line on their website - click here to have a look )

I didn't pay for these myself my mum bought me them - being the devious person that I am I sneaked them into the trolley as she rolled her eyes - lol - she was pretty impressed by the prices she she didn't mind too much (well I don't think she did...lol...)
So there you have it a few goodies to share, a spending ban broken , and probably more to come tomorrow I am having a day out with my godmother.. my mum is giving me a bit of money but I still might break into my own whoops!

  3. Oh cool you got the brush guard just be careful not to put it on the wrong way round and you will be fine, I have all of my big ones and ones that get dirty like Mac 139 safely encased in their little guards now - haha im so sad!

  4. @~tHiAmErE~ Thank you - I think Lacura is exclusive to the Aldi supermarket chain
