Mini Boots Haul

I was perusing the boots website and noticed they had a few good deals on at the moment, and in particular these deals included some products I really wanted to try. So of course that meant this seemed like the perfect opportunity to buy them!

I picked up Hydraluron, which was 1/3 off making it £16.66. I've heard quite a few people raving about this product and as someone who can get quite dry skin this sounded lovely! After using it for a couple of days I already really like it. It comes out as a clear gel type substance but when massaged into the skin it feels almost like water. My skin ends up feeling really nice and moisturised. It's still early days but I am really enjoying this!

I also picked up the Soap & Glory 'One Heck of a Blot' translucent powder and their 'Glow All Out' illuminising powder, which were on offer for 2 for £15. Seeing as each of these cost £11 on their own this seemed like a great deal!
 I've used the translucent powder once and already really like it - it left my skin really matte and smooth but without looking really powdery. As you can see it came with a little powder puff to apply it but I prefer using a large face brush. You really don't need to use much for full coverage, you literally only have to tap your brush into the powder & even then probably need to tap off excess.
I've not used the illuminising powder yet but it looks lovely. Both come in nice compacts with big mirrors, which are always handy! The Glow All Out is cardboard, which seems fairly sturdy but of course has the potential to get ruined if gets wet etc but we'll see how it goes! Whereas One Heck of a Blot is made of plastic so seems more durable.

Overall I'm really pleased with all 3 products but it's only been a couple of days so i'll keep you posted.

What are your thoughts on any of these products?

Wishlist #2

As i've previously mentioned, I've only recently gotten into blogs - reading and writing, but my wish list is already massive! I have already caved and bought some of the items i've been desiring (mainly the cheaper drugstore items) but that list still remains.

So here's a few more of the items i'm currently coveting...

1) Hourglass ambient lighting powder

I've seen so many rave reviews about this powder and it sounds just lovely! Quite a few people say they couldn't buy just one and a couple of people ended up buying all 6! I think i'd go for the shade Diffused, which has a slight yellow tint as this would hopefully help balance out my redness. 

2) Urban Decay Naked palette

This seems to be the best eyeshadow palette you can get, with again several people owning more than one. I think i'd go for either the basics (a bit easier on my student budget) or the Naked2 palette but think I could make good use of any of them! I'm definitely more of a nude colour girl when it comes to eyes so these would be perfect! 

3) Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm

This sounds like just a lovely cleanser to use and removes all make-up at the same time. As i've mentioned, i'm trying to improve my skincare routine and I'm hoping this would make a great addition. It's another Caroline Hirons recommendations so it must be good! It also seems to be sold out on quite a few sites so seems to be popular!

What are your current coveted items? Have you tried any of these?
