Mini Beauty Haul - #01

I spent my day yesterday hitting the shops with two of my favourite people and we ended up in Boots.What a surprise! There's something about that shop that sucks me in and leaves me £30 poorer every time. Like usual I tried my best to be good, but ended up buying a few bits and bobs.

The first thing I picked up is the new Orangeasm Body Wash by Soap & Glory. This is just a citrus-y wash, scented with orange peel oils, green mandarin and Sicilian lemon. Oh my, is it zesty! I used this in the shower this morning and it left me feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It's so fresh and perfect for really waking you up in the sticky Summer months.

I've been eyeing this Maybelline Brow Drama for a little while now and finally gave in. Now, I know eyebrows are meant to be sisters, not twins but I'm not even sure mine are related. I have the worst behaved left brow ever. Today though, I did my eyebrows as usual, then used a little slick of this over the top. It's kept them in place all day and has even tamed my badly behaved brow. Hurrah!

Not the most glamorous purchase, but lately I've been suffering more that usual with chapped, dry lips and normal lipbalms just aren't cutting it. So, I popped the Blistex MedPlus Repairing Lip Balm in my basket. It contains cocoa butter, menthol and jojoba oil and is so moistursing on your lips. The menthol in it does make it smell a little medicine-y but it does the job. I applied it last night and again this morning and my lips still feel soft and are no longer sore. A little pot of heaven.

This Sleek Face Contour Kit was a bit of an impulse buy but it's definitely something I'll use. I'm not a contouring pro but I know how it works so I just need a little practise and thought this would be a good way to start. I got it in the shade 'light' as I'm quite pale and after using it today, it's definitely a good colour match for my skin. It comes with a contouring powder and a highlighter which is so pretty. I love how compact the Sleek makeup is and they always come with a decent mirror which I love for on-the-go touch-ups.

 The final thing I bought was a re-purchase of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, but as I've mentioned it before I thought I'd show the Nail Polish from H&M that I bought. Does anyone else get tricked by all the little bits and bobs lined around the ques in H&M? Because I clearly do. I was nearly at the till when this caught my eye. 'Stop Sign' its a burnt out orangey/red and looks really vibrant on. I think I'll be wearing this non-stop for a while.

Which beauty bits have you picked up lately?
