Beauty Haul June 2015

Whoopsies! I've done it again brought more makeup that I probably did not need. However for all of the product below I spent under £20! I know you are all thinking how but if you read on I will tell you exactly how I managed to save so much money in big brands such as Eylure and Elizabeth Arden.
 
 
So as you can see above I have brought 2 pairs of false eyelashes, 2 blushes, a eyeshadow duo, a lip pencil/gloss/stick, and a cream eyeshadow. If you would like a full review of any of the products I have hauled just leave a comment of which one below and I will try to do that once I have a fuller impression of them.
 
So the first products I have are the Maybelline Colour Show Blush 'em! I have the more coral one of the right and the pink of on the left. I think I prefer the more coral one as I feel it will suit me better but the pink one was pretty aswell. So I spent just £2 on the pair of them! This is because I found them believe it or not in the pound shop in the famous brands section. If you are reading from a different country these are shops where all products are just £1.
 
 
Next I have the Maybelline Hypercosmos eyeshadow duo in WN-1. It's a pretty purple and gold. It's a good size product and I can't wait to start using it especially as I find Maybelline a good brand. I also found this in the pound shop and so for all the Maybelline products I spent only £3.
 
Next I went to TKMaxx which if you are in the US is TJMaxx. They each were £2.99. I wanted to pick these up as I wanted to try to wear false eyelashes especially as I have a few big events this month including a friends birthday as well as my own.
 
 
Next I think are my favourite products from the haul and are two things from the Elizabeth Arden Summer collection. The first is the Beautiful Color Gloss Stick in the shade 02 Pink sky and is deep sort of pink. When I swatched it it seemed very creamy and soft. The next product is a Pure Finish Cream Eyeshadow in the shade 01 Sand Dollar and as you can see below is a nice shinny light pink. As you can see I have already tried it and it is very creamy. The Gloss stick was £2.99 and the eyeshadow was £3.99 from TKMaxx.
 
 
So that is everything I got this haul. I know it was quite brief but like I said if you would like to see a full review just leave a comment in the comment section below. Also if you could suggest products that I might like or where I can buy more products for cheaper prices please do let me know. Hope you enjoyed this and I will see you on my next post.

Top 5 Tuesday | 5 of the Cheapest Shops to Buy Good Makeup

So this post will be about shops you are able to visit to buy makeup at the lowest prices. Next time I shall do one about online shopping and where you can buy the cheapest makeup items there as well. As a beauty lover and a bargain hunter I love it when you get a good deal and save money because loving beauty products after all can get expensive.

1. TKMaxx
Normally I don't shop in TKMaxx because it seems like chaos if I am being honest. However recently I have come to love this shop as I have found some real jewels in beauty products. They sell many high end brands and low prices such as Elizabeth Arden, Stila, Bare Minerals, Essie and ORL to name but a few. Last time I went in there I could see that they sold sets that you may not find in your Boots or Superdug but might find at an airport. I would definitely recommend going in here to look however the stock varies between shops and different stock appears all the time.

 

2. Pound Shops
Although there is a certain stigma attached to shopping at pound shops they sell some good brands such as Maybelline, Revlon and Rimmel. You cannot get things such as your foundation in these shops and they are usually a one off find so if you are looking for something specific then you may want to look in other shops that have a full range of products.



3. Superdrug
I love when Superdrug does certain deals such as 2 products from the same range for £10 because I usually save more than £5 every time. You just have to look closely at their deals. Alsoif you have one of their loyalty cards you can save up your points and spend them instead of using money which is always great.



4. Boots
This for the same reason as Superdrug you just have to look out for deals they may have on and they often have spend a certain amount and get a free box of goodies worth (enter amount but usually around £30) which incises you to buy that certain amount but can be good if they have things you will use in the box. They also have a rewards card which is good to save up points on.
 


5. TopShop
Topshop have a great range of makeup that many YouTubers such as Zoella rave about. The larger stores usually have more range of products but the smaller branches also a good collection of stock and kohl liners are so good!



This just goes to show you don't have to spend loads of money on makeup to have a good selection. I hope my savy shopping saves you money next time you're out and about shopping. Comment below anywhere else in the UK that sells makeup that could save people money.
