December Boots Haul


Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! The week before Christmas I went in to boots (which was a battle in itself - I hate the Christmas rush) and decided that since I had some Christmas spends and a voucher to get 300 extra points and double points that I just had to treat myself! So I thought I would show you guys the few bits and bobs that I picked up!

Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL

The first thing I grabbed is a necessity product to me. The Batiste dry shampoo for XXL volume is amazing in my eyes. I have a fringe and I use this to stop those annoying gaps that happen. It basically makes sure my fringe looks full at all times! It is also great to spray at the roots and underneath your hair before a night out! 

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

The next product I grabbed was the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour foundation. I had just finished a foundation I had owned for a while and I thought I would pick up a different one to try. At the beginning of this year I wasn't a person that was too fussed about using different foundations or having foundations that left the skin with a different finish (matte, dewy etc) but now I like having in that mixture so I can swap about my make-up even if its an every day look. Rimmel is fantastic for foundation - I have yet to try a foundation of theirs that has been bad for me!

Loreal Paris Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer

I needed a new primer so I decided to pick up this Loreal primer! I have enjoyed Loreal Primers in the past so I thought this would be a safe bet! Expect a review of this in the near future as I plan on using this as my new daily primer.

Barry M 355- Gold Mine Glitter

After grabbing a new primer I thought I would try a few new nail polishes over the holidays. I can't usually wear polish during the week so the holidays are a great chance to try something special. First I picked up a black and gold glitter by Barry M in 355 Gold Mine Glitter.

Barry M 347- Limited Edition

This next Barry M polish is limited edition to boots (and can I just say how pretty is the bottle and its top is) and is a mix of purple, red and green fine glitter. It is almost like broken up tinsel! The colour is Barry M 347 - Limited Edition.

Barry M 351 - Yellow Topaz Glitter

The last nail polish I picked up is a gold glitter top coat. I really love this polish and I actually wore it for Christmas. It catches the light beautifully! The colour is in 351 Yellow Topaz Glitter.

Loreal Super Liner Eyebrow Pencil

Another thing I needed to pick up was an eyebrow pencil. I am a massive fan of the Loreal Eyebrow pencils however I haven't tried their newer Super Liner range so I thought I would have to try the newer version! Usually since I have black hair I buy the black pencil but the darkest they had was dark brown which is actually a perfect match for me!

So that was what I picked up from my last trip to boots! Have you been there recently? What did you pick up? Have you tried any of the products I picked up? Let me know in the comments!

  2. Nice selection, the last time I went to Boots I just bought a Miss Sporty concealer which is proving to be quite good value for money. I haven't tried any of your products but I would quite like to try Batiste as I've ready so many good things about it :)

  7. I bought a few Barry M polishes in December and the only thing I would say is that they are harder to remove from nails than many of my other polishes! Still they look lovely whilst they are on :) Following you now
