Saturday drugstore buys....

Like most weekends I spent an hour or so in between errands browsing the shops. Also like most weekends I left with things I didn't need in the slightest - lovely!

The first of these buys was the Collection Lasting Perfection foundation. I bought the palest shade as I use the lightest concealer and I'm a total paleface. I've swatched it on the back of my hand and it could be a little dark (sob!) but I'm going to put it to the test today. The glass bottle and screw top does make it a little tricky to transport as I already found a spillage in the shopping bag I put it in but the pump dispenser is a winner so there you go! RRP £5.99 - buy here (click!)

These Korres pomegranate cleansing wipes are something I'd usually avoid like the plague. Buuuuut I was suckered into these by the packaging - I haven't heard anything about them or seen any reviews so I was looking forward to giving them a go last night. I actually quite like them - they're quite thick, they removed my liquid eyeliner and mascara well without much hard work. My skin didn't feel too bad after. I did use some Bioderma on a cotton pad to remove the last bits of mascara and anything embedded in my skin but there wasn't much left so I quite like them! They generally retail for aroun £6.00 online (here, here and here!)

This is almost a re-purchase - I say almost because I have a Maybelline Colossal mascara from a couple of months ago but it's this one (here, click!)  so I thought I'd give a slightly different version a go. 

I'm currently coveting the Rimmel Stay Matte powder but I thought I'd try the Clear Complexion powder for a week and compare them! I'll let you know :)

tripped and fell...

I'm one of those people who can't walk out of a shop empty handed ... no, not a total klepto but I do like to buy stuff that I don't need on a regular basis. I get huge cases of buyer's regret but once I've used the eyeshadow/lipbalm/nail polish 3 times I can't really take it back so it goes into my stash.

These however were things I actually need. Sort of.

Nail polish to replace last week's chipped manicure remains and both eyeshadows because I've heard lots of good things about the Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows and I need a highlighter for my brow bone and inner corner. Both of these were pretty much necessities....... yep.

I saw the Maybelline Baby Lips as I was approaching the counter and since it was £2.99 I didn't even care that I don't need it, nor did I know the scent or flavour. All I knew is "OOOOH I WANT THAT TOO!"

Lastly a few bits that actually were kind of necessary - cuticle remover and moisturiser, anti bacterial wipes and some of the brilliant Soap & Glory Heel Genius cream.

I've used everything in these photos at least once already and nothing is disappointing. I'm hoping to review a few of these bits over the week but if there's anything you'd like to see or hear about quickly then let me know in the comments!
