So, just a short post – still trying to catch up after a digital-free weekend in Cornwall – I have gone *slightly* crazy in Boots this week, picking up a few skincare pieces from L’Oreal’s Skin Perfection range that I’m really excited about for Autumn – especially the Advanced Correcting Serum and partnering BB cream, as well as a cleansing oil and daily exfoliator.
As it’s ‘buy one get the 2nd half price’ on make-up at the mo, I also had a little lippie splurge – picking up a Rimmel ‘By Kate’ in a vintagey nude rose (my favourite Burberry Lip Mist in Field Rose is down to the barrel); another classic red with orange tones from Bourjois (below), as well as a glossy, punchy pink from their Limited Shine Edition that is nourishing and softening like a balm with a buildable pop of colour. I’ve worn it non-stop for the last two days and it’s already a ‘love’ product.
There are a couple of nail colours in the mix too – a creamy beige from Barry M that I thought was a softer take on the white nails that are everywhere at the moment, plus another vintagey rose colour that was just too pretty to leave on the shelf, from Max Factor’s Glossfinity range that promises ‘7 days chip-free’.
Last but not least, I’m intrigued to try the 1,2,3 Perfect Foundation from Bourjois – billed to ‘correct and conceal blemishes’. It’s also got a CC-vibe, with green pigments to balance out redness, mauve for radiance and yellow to conceal dark circles. It’s a hydrating formula with SPF10, too.
Phew. That’s it for now! I’ll be trialling them all over the next few weeks and I’ll get back to you with my thoughts…
