Another Boots Haul! (Maybelline, NYX, Barry M)

I recently took a trip to Boots and bought a few treats for myself!



These NYX butter gloss's are my new favourite lip products. I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss and don't own many, but these ones are such a nice consistency, and not sticky at all. They have a lovely buttery texture (hence the name butter gloss, I suppose!) and make my lips feel super hydrated. 
These are shades Praline (left) and Peach Cobbler. The Praline is such a good nude shade, and I have been wearing it almost everyday since I bought it!

I've heard so many people talk about the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara's I just had to get this. This is the Luscious one, and I have only used it a couple of times, but so far i'm liking it a lot. You can really feel the oil blends, as it is such a lovely smooth texture and doesn't feel hard on your lashes. The only issue I've had is that i've found it quite hard to separate my lashes as the brush is very odd. But I just used another lash brush to combat this, and after that, my lashes looked great. It does create a lot of volume and really lengthens your lashes a lot!


Sticking with Maybelline, I also bought the blushed nudes palette. I've had my eye on this for quite a while and finally decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did. The shades are all shimmery and great colours for the summer! The only ones I wouldn't wear are the light pinks, as they don't suit me, but all the browns and gold shades are gorgeous. They are a decent pigment and last all day without smudging, and on the back there is a little handy guide of which shades fit well together in quads or trios which is nice. 


The last things I purchased is two Barry M nail paints. I can't go into Boots without passing the Barry M stand; I've always been a huge fan of their nail paints. They're affordable, great quality and lasting. These two are from the new Coconut Infusions range and are such lovely colours that complement each other very well!

I'm a huge fan of the Latest in Beauty boxes, and i've bought quite a few in the past. The most recent one I got my hands on is the Soft Skin Box.

This one contains 9 products that are designed to give your skin a nice hydration boost!

The products inside are:

-Ren Moroccan Rose Body Lotion (50ml)
Made with rose otto oil, this deeply hydrating lotion will leave your skin feeling softer than ever.



So far, i've only tried the Toner, which I am loving! And the miracle balm, which I haven't been too impressed with. It's a very sticky and gloopy consistency which I had a lot of trouble squeezing out of the tube. In the end the tube popped from the pressure! 

Although, I'm looking forward to using the Purity lotion as i've heard good things about it, and the face mask seems fab!
