Superdrug - A New Love

As Friday was payday I was in a good mood, and ate some lunch at work before making the mistake of thinking "I'll go out for a wee wander". I ended up in Superdrug.

Let me backtrack for a minute. I work in the heart of Glasgow and shops surround me. They call out to me. As you may have noticed from this blog so far I am a Boots girl at heart. I love the Advantage Card points, I love the makeup counters, the fragrances, the brands on offer. In short I love the experience of visiting a Boots store. I very rarely visit Superdrug but as this was a "quick wander" before lunchtime ended, and there is one close to my work (closer than a Boots store), I popped in.

I came out with:


Sleek Divine Chaos Mineral Eyeshadow Palette
Vaseline Rosy Lips
GOSH Mineral Blush in Rose Whisper
Barry M Nail Paint in Mint Green (304)

The Vaseline is a bit of a staple for me as I love lip balms and will use one at least twice a day. Everyone at work knows there is a tub of my Carmex under the desk to reach for at all times! The air conditioning really wreaks havoc on my skin, lips in particular.

I tried out the Sleek palette yesterday. I was in need of some shimmer-free colours in my collection and these did not disappoint.



The colours are a bit brighter than that in real life. I used the taupe, top row 3rd from the left, and the brown on the top row 2nd from the right and did a smokey eye with MAC Phloof! as a highlight to lift the look. The shadows are very pigmented and lasted all day (1pm until I stumbled in drunk at 12.40am that night) on top of my UDPP.

Also yesterday I tried out the GOSH Blush on the apples of my cheeks, topped off with a MAC MSF in Porcelain Pink on the cheekbones. Very impressed I was. This also lasted most of the day.

I'll try to recreate the look and maybe do a tutorial. Right now I'm off for a Sunday night bath with my Lush goodies that I got free! More on them another time. Lots of love for Lush.
