Good evening all, hope you're having a nice week so far :) I went shopping for my sisters birthday pressie this evening and managed to get myself a dress, 2 pairs of shoes, earrings, makeup and a new book. Unfortunately I didn't spot a single thing for my sis so I'm just gonna give her money, I know it's soo impersonal but she's seriously hard to buy for!!Decided to do a post on the goodies I picked up from Superdrug and I wanted to start with L'Oreals True Match foundation because it seems like everyone has something positive to say about it! I used this foundation about 3 or 4 years ago and didn't like it at all because I found it terribly drying but my skin is slightly more oily these days so I'm hoping for better results.
Also got a new True Match powder compact because I've hit pan on my current one. The Carbon Gloss is free when you spend over a tenner on L'Oreal stuff and this liner is awesome so I was a very happy bunny :)
I guess the other things I picked up kinda speak for themselves...
Shimmer and shade compact (hmmm...is it technically a compact if there's no mirror?) by Collection 2000 in shade 1 Pink Me Up and a few MUA eye shadows for £1 each. Three cheers for the bargain beauty products!
This Maybelline Line Definer in Black Onyx is one of my favourite products because it's so thin, creamy and easy to apply. If you get the chance to test this in the store I insist that you do cos I reckon you'll be amazed at just how good it is. Honestly the end result is as good as most liquid liners!I've been using the Maybelline Pure Mineral Concealer and it works well but I cant seem to stick with one product for too long (Yep, I suffer from grass-is-always-greener syndrome) so have wanted to try this one for a while
Tea tree oil and Tea tree moisturiser cos my skin hates me and I hate it right back. Bloody spots.
Little silver heart earrings that I'm gonna wear to work tomorrow. Another bargain at 99p!
Last of all we have the Maybelline Falsies mascara. I know I'm a bit late with this because it's only been around for, oooh, a hundred years or so now but I wanted to give it a go to see what I reckon.Anyway I'm off for a late shower and a nice cup of tea before bed. Hope you have a great Friday! :)

Is that purple MUA shade number 9? Cause if it is I have it and it's absolutely awesome. I love the color and it's a great item for such little money
Nice haul. I know people think money is impersonal but i would rather get that from family and then i can decide what to get myself.
Ooh great stuff, i use the same foundation and eyeliner :D x
Nice haul:)
Love the colors:)
Great haul!!
Nice haul, good stuff! :}
Love ur haul!
Ooh those earrings are very me! I'm just getting back in to Superdrug after years of not venturing in (I was a make up snob for a while I think, hehe) so I will def look out for those. Great haul x
Lots of great buys! I love the maybelline line definer, it's my favourite eyeliner. I wasn't so keen on the loreal true match liquid foundation, like you said I found it dried my skin out so it made me look cakey :-(
Lovely haul! :) x
Haha I have all those product from l'oréal h :D I really love the liner and the powder is good as well, the foundation doesnt cover as much as i want and on my skin it "glides" off after a few hours.. :( hope it works better for you!

Oooh you bought quite a lot! Those earings are so good for 99p!!! I haven't tried the falsies mascara yet either!

Nice haul! The Falsies mascara has worked nicely for me, so hopefully you'll have good results as well. :)
Wow you bought great things!! :) The true match powder is nice, the foundation doesn't last on my oily skin though! :( too bad, because I love the finish! That purple MUA eyeshadow is GORGEOUS!! Can you please swatch the other 2 ? :) I'd love a review on the maybelline concealer and mascara too! :)

Super haul! :-) I've been wearing the true match foundation this week! It's really nice! Natural but with coverage! If I ever get thru my massive mascara collection I really wanna try Falsies! Hope you do a review on it! xxx
Ooh great haul! I really want to try True Match Foundation! :) x
I like the MUA eyeshadows you chose! :)
I've tried the Loreal true match mineral powder foundation and loved it, so I should probably try the liquid too. It seems like a great line!
I tagged you in a tag by the way :) It's the newest post.

Ahh, gotta love bargain shopping! I'm going to have to try that Maybelline liner, I keep hearing good things about it. :)
I haven't tried any of these products! Can't wait to hear more about them!!
Could you pelase do a review with the super stay concealer? I'd love to know if it works!
I feel like I should go spend £10 at l'oreal now to get the liner! Despite the fact that I just bought a new one recently lol.
Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a super day! I have everything crossed in the hope that i win your giveaway! ;o)

Hi
Great post and I love those heart earrings x
Great stuff! I love the earrings :)
I'm definitely curious about that Maybelline Line Definer. I'm currently using one that I like, but I'm always up for trying something new and possibly even better!

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment everyone! I always feel a little less guilty about splashing out when I'm shopping if I know I can blog about what I buy!! The way I see it I'm actually just doing other people a favour by making sure they know whats worth picking up and what isn't. I know I know, most flimsy excuse ever :)
birminghamlady, yep it's number 9 - well spotted! I should probably have included the shade numbers, guess it's obvious that I'm new to this blogging malarkey (I know it's a bit late but the shades are 9, 17 and 6!)
Stavroula I will swatch it asap. Been meaning to swatch a few favourite eye shadows but it's a complete nightmare trying to get decent shots with no natural light. Thanks to the good old Belfast weather it's dark when I get home from work every day :(
Beauty addict I'll be doing a concealer review soon cos I seem to have amassed dozens over the last 6 months or so and wanted to give my 2 cents worth one my favourites!
Thanks Stacey! My birthday was awesome but the day was far too short - I think we should have a whole week dedicated to b'day celebrations
I love the L'oreal eyeliner :)
HUGE BLOG GIVEAWAY http://superficialsydney.blogspot.com/
Over $400 worth of pizes xx
Hehe I'll be waiting for the swatches and the reviews! :) Yeah, I know what you mean! And the time change now doesn't help at all! :/
