Haul: Boots, Bodycare and MAC!

Hi lovelies! So I headed in to town to pick up some nail polish remover and somehow came home with slightly more than that ... oops! Therefore here is a little haul for you.

Revlon Colorburst in Bordeaux - £7.99 Boots
First is this Revlon ColorBurst Lip gloss in Bordeaux. I'm not really a lipgloss person but these Colorburst ones are so, so nice! 



Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait - £7.99 Boots
This is my second Revlon Lip Butter, my first is in Pink Truffle. 

MAC Lipstick in See Sheer and Creme In Your Coffee - £13.50 each.
I'm adoring MAC lipsticks right now! Not decided which one of these is my favorite yet!



Revlon Nail Polish in Stunning - £6.49 Boots
I've never seen this in the Revlon stand before - it's gorgeous! There is a 3 for 2 offer on right now so I actually got this for free...woooop!


Barry M Nail Paint in Strawberry Ice Cream - £2.99 Boots
So my Barry M collection is officially ridiculous! I'm such a sucker for Nail Paints. I was looking for 'Yellow' but they were very low on Nail Paint in Boots and when I saw this I thought what the heck!

Cutex Nail Polish Remover - £1.49 Bodycare
The original reason I went shopping! I've wanted to try this one for quite a while and at £1.49 I'm not complaining if it isn't amazing.


Katy Perry by Eylure in Oh, Honey - £3.99 Bodycare
Technic Natural Lashes - £1.49 Bodycare
I love my Katy Perry eyelashes in Oh, Honey so much and when I spotted them for only £3.99 in Bodycare I snapped up a second pair as my first is a little tatty! Technic false lashes are another favorite of mine however I haven't tried this particular style. The only odd thing about Technic lashes are the fact all the ones called 'Natural' are very dramatic and all the ones called 'Fancy' tend to be quite natural, not an issue in the slightest though obviously!

Sleek Pout Polish Collection/Swatch



  1. Bare Minimum. A beautiful (pink toned) nude, almost looks like concealer in the tub but is fairly sheer on application.
  2. Sugar May (Limited Edition but included as it is very similar to a shade in the permanent range called Peach Perfection). Light peach shade.
  3. Raspberry Rhapsody. Beautiful purple/blue pink.
  4. Electro Peach. Appears pink but is a bright coral.
  5. Perfect Plum. Amazing plummy/red burgundy colour (my favorite!).

I LOVE these tinted lip conditioners by Sleek! They have a plethora of lovely oils (jojoba, avocado & sweet almond) to add moisture to the lips and I do find them incredibly moisturising. At the moment there are 11 shades in the collection and I'll definitely be adding to mines! The next purchase will be Peach Perfection and I stupidly put my Limited Edition Sugar May through the washing machine and tumble dryer so it's went a bit funny in the smell and consistency department... boo!
These have a sweet yet slightly plasticy scent to them. The scent/taste doesn't bother me personally but I'm aware some people really do dislike it.

They cost only £4.30 for a large amount of product, I definitely recommend them!

Chanel Bronze Universel

This is my favorite product...ever! I fake tan often but because of moisturizers and cleansers it doesn't seem to stick to my face. I use this product to help match my face and body. 




This bronzer is a odd consistency, similar to a cream blusher like Topshops but firmer. I use a powder type brush to apply it (currently an inexpensive cosmopolitan one as it needs cleaned regularly anyway or it is poor).  It blends seamlessly, stays all day (when set lightly with powder) and can be worn alone, over or under foundation. Admittedly it does take a few tries to get right as I've personally not came across any product similar to this. My skin is dry and I keep it well moisturised, how this product would fair on oily skin I'm unsure. I'd definitely recommend asking for a sample.

Being Chanel this isn't the cheapest product - it retails in Debenhams for around £30, but this is my third tub and I've used this product nearly everyday for the last 2 1/2 years. 

This particular tub was purchased around November 2011 and you can see I still have the majority left.


As this is a cream/gel product brush hairs do get caught in this but it doesn't affect the product and as long as you're using clean brushes, sanitary wise, this shouldn't be a problem what-so-ever.  


Here is a quick swatch. On the left rubbed in and on the right a swipe just applied with a finger.

Another thing is there is only one shade. I think Chanel are really missing a trick by only having the one.

For me this is a 10/10 product and the only Chanel product I've been wowed by, I love it!
