UK Cosmetics haul : Superdrug edition.

Most brands available in the UK are inaccessible for me , since I was in UK I took the advantage and did a massive high-street haul.

I went to Superdrug about a total of five times when I was there. On the first few days in London, I stayed in Palmer's Lodge at Swiss Cottage and there was a "Superdrug" nearby. I didn't pop into the store till my last day there before I head to Edinburgh.

The other "Superdrugs" I went are the Edinburgh's, Victoria Coach Station's, Birmingham's Bull Ring's and Oxford Street's.
Going to different Superdrugs I manage to pick up items some Superdrug has, some doesn't.

The amount of makeup I bought.

I thought of just inserting this random photo here.
This is my first Superdrug haul in UK. I took this picture in my hostel in Edinburgh.
I wanted to post my first superdrug haul from there but the lighting wasn't good so yea, I waited till today.

The blushers.
Sleek, MUA, Lookbeauty.

I did went crazy with Sleek Blushers. I love Sleek blush. I own one of them (I got it last year via a spree, you  can click here to see it) and I wanted more.

MUA, I heard tons about this brand. VoussantBeauetBelle raved about the mosaic blushers so I knew I had to get them (with backups) and they were so affordable at £2.50
The normal blush is just £1.00.

The Lips.
Accessorize, Collection 2000 and Sleek.

I went to UK only thinking I was gonna pick up the Sleek Pout Paints which is the main lip item i wanted but looks like I went overboard again.
The Collection 2000's Cream Puff reminds me of the NYX Lip Creams.

The Eyes.

I am so excited when I saw there's an offer on Barry M's items. They were on Get 3 for 2. I immediately picked up the highly raved dazzle dust.
The Gel Eyeliner was on offer, I couldn't resist picking up one and moreover so the Black Collection isn't available here, so great get!



The three shades I picked up. All of them neutral shades.

Shade 51 : Mushroom
It is a Shimmery plummy-taupe.

Shade 39 : Tan
Just like its name, it is a peachy-pink tan.

This was in a mess when I opened it.
It was like puking fairy dust, all messy.
Shade 3 : Pink Gold


MUA Baked Eyeshadow Trios in Innocence

Maybelline "Black Collection" Gel Eyeliner in Black-Gold

It is a black with gold flecks.
Extremely gorgeous.

MUA Blusher in Shade 3
It is a peach with burnt orange in it. An absolute perfect colour for spring.
I have regretted not getting all 6 shades since they were only  £1 each

MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose
One of the most beautiful things I've seen in the drugstore. I was glad I bought it the first time I went to Swiss Cottage's Superdrug store because the other Superdrug I went, this blush wasn't in stock.

Sleek Blush, probably the best blush in the high-street market.

Pixie Pink

Suede


Life is a Peach

LookBeauty, I haven't heard much about this brand even on the Blogosphere.

What really caught me to this brand is their packaging. It is chic and sweet.


Shade 3 : Pinch

They were  £3 off. Originally they retail at £8.
It is a rose pink with a subtle shimmer. It really gives a feminine flush and glow to the face.

Sleek Pout Paints

Minx and Rosette

I never known Accessorize had a makeup line, I thought it is just an accessory store.
What really could me to the Accessorize counter is their makeup packaging. It is just so pretty and it has the "British" feeling. I just don't know how to explain it in words.



Shade 3 : Besotted

Collection 2000 Lipstick.
I got them because they were on offer and I was searching for a nude lipstick and Natural Collection's Rose Petal were out of stock in the "Boots" I went.

I picked up 13 Satin Bow and 12 Tea Rose

12 Tea Rose
Brown toned nude

13 Satin Bow
Lighter than Tea Rose with more pink-tone

In the pictures they don't look nude but they look nude on my lips.

Three Cream Puffs from Collection 2000
From Left : Fairy Cake, Powder Puff and Cotton Candy

The names are really candilicious!

The last two items I picked up are lipcare items.

I really like Carmex since the day my friend gifted me on from Australia but they are not
 available where I live.
Nivea Lip Butter. The Caramel Cream totally caught me. I love all caramel stuff. Also this lip butter smells delicious.

That all I hauled in the high-streets of UK.

Madly into you.

This is gonna be a long somewhat haul post since I got two parcels in the mail just awhile ago and also some stuffs I am supposed to post but I didn't. I am lazy.


All these lens I didn't get them like yesterday, I actually ordered them when I was still in Russia but since I have been slow lately, I am gonna post on them now.

I haven't opened them yet since my older lenses haven't expired but they gonna soon, in a month's time. Puffy 3 tones in Pink.
I am always crazy for more subtle pink lenses.


Puffy 3 tones Brown.
I like puffy 3 tones' design that's why I got two colours in the same design. I got mesmerized by the model's eyes when I was selecting the lenses I wanna get.

Also this one is a repurchased. The Candy Pink/Sweet Pink ones that I love. The look can be refereed here.
These pink lenses blends really well with dark brown eyes and doesn't go BAM!in your face pink. The edges around the pinks is soft thus it blends softly with the eyes.

and pore strips. This one is random but I want to put this up just to tell that Biore came up with a limited edition aroma collection pore strips. Price is the same as the normal edition ones. Just the limited edition ones has a rose scent and prettier packaging.

I place an order on drugstore.com, beauty.com and also coastal scents.com through a middle man and well the order took eons to be processed and the packing by the middle man was ridiculously slow too. Disappointed but oh well, she's the only middle man I could find for now.

I didn't order much, this is all that I got.Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Liner, Nars Blush and a tapered brush from Coastal Scents.


The one I got is in Brown Eyes. I ordered this gel liner like in April/May when I need a gel liner kinda desperately since all my liners dried up on me but It never came so I proceeded and got Essence's and also Maybelline's but this came eventually.
Anyway I am excited since there's brown and also purple. It comes with a free brush too.

Nars Blush
This is my 2nd NARS blush. The other one I got is in Desire.
There's a post on it here.

NARS' trademark packaging which is a dirt magnet.

The colour I chose this time around is Madly. It is described to be a seashell pink. For me it leans more to the bronze side but I do see some hint of pinks. Perfect summer blush colour.


and a swatch on my hand. So pretty. NARS blushes never disappoint.

On to the brush now. It is really soft, doesn't shed at all(already sent it for some bathing session).
Worth what I paid for and more worth it with 20% off.
