A spot of shopping at Boots

I went on a little shopping trip to Boots in Loughborough. I already had a list of products I wanted to try from research and I ended up picking these products:

- No 7 Stay Perfect primer available here

I have really oily skin so I tried this particular product in Boots on the back of my hand. The consistency seemed okay and I have read loads of reviews on this product. People rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars therefore I thought it would be a great primer to try. This product is oil-free so is an ideal product for you if you suffer from oily skin like me. The product claims to 'create a perfect canvas for foundation to keep skin flawless all day'. It also says that it contains Burdock which is meant to help prevent blemishes and Vitamins A and E to help condition and also to revitalise skin. It does say that you only need a tiny amount so hopefully my product will last a long time! I will keep you posted about this product! 

The one thing which really annoys me about this product is that it is only 20ml. I would say for a No.7 product, it is quite expensive for so little. 

I do have a lot of other primers to use. If I am being honest, I only started using a primer under my foundation about 3 days ago... I have just never bothered before as I never thought it would do much to my skin. It is meant to keep your make-up on for longer. I would say it would depend on what primer you use as some will be bad and some will be amazing. I have heard a lot about the Benefit POREfessional available here and everyone loves it. It is meant to be the UK's no.1 best selling primer. I have tried this product when I visited Benefit but I thought I would look around to see if there is a cheaper alternative. To be honest, I will probably end up buying this product eventually. 

- No.7 Brilliantly Bare Beauty Enhancer available here

This product is another one I researched in depth. This is rated 5 out of 5 stars! This product is really lightweight in texture and is so easy to apply. I would use this once I have applied my moisturiser so this would basically be a base for my foundation. This product claims to minimise pores.I will again update you on this product at a later stage. 

- No.7 Extreme length mascara available here

I have been looking for a mascara to make my lashes longer as I naturally have really short lashes. This would be for my bottom lashes as I tend to wear false eyelashes on a daily basis instead of applying mascara on my top lashes as it is much quicker to just apply lashes. I have used many No.7 mascaras before and I have never really been disappointed by them. Currently. I am using the No.7 Fanomenal Lashes mascara available here which is really good but it's about to run out so I thought I would try a different No.7 mascara. 

- Maybelline Fit me concealer available here

From watching loads of Youtube videos, loads of the beauty gurus have been using this concealer and have raved about it. I got this concealer in 25 I think that is a medium shade for tanned skin people. I hope this colour will work out well under my eyes but I have only swatched it on the back of my hand. It seems to rub in well when I tried it so I am really excited to try it. 

- Maybelline Baby Skin instant pore eraser available here

So I have heard mixed reviews about this product. I thought I would give it a try. This product comes out clear and is easy to blend. I'm not sure if it does leave my skin looking poreless... I think I need to give this product another chance though because I am wearing a really light foundation coverage. 

- Maybelline Eraser Eye concealer available here

Not sure why on the Boots website this product isn't available but it is available in store. I got the shade nude which I hope will be okay for my skin tone. They don't seem to have a large selection of colours... i only saw two shades, light and nude so I went for the darker shade. This again has been raved about by beauty gurus so thought I would try this out! 

- Revlon colourburst lip butters available here

There is a huge selection of colours in this range and the packaging on these products are so cute! I bought 3 shades: tutti frutti, wild watermelon and candy apple. The colours are so nice. Tutti frutti is an orangey shade and the other two are more of a reddy shade which I love. It is totally appropriate for work as the colours don't come out too bold. I will probably end up buying more from this range because the colours are so nice. 

Lancome Visionnaire and Genefique Yeux

I got given these free samples which I am really excited to try! 

Genefique Yeux is available here

I actually already have this product and I have to admit, it is absolutely amazing! It is so soft in texture and really easy to rub in under the eyes. This product is meant to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and make the under eye area feel more smoother and softer. I would give this product 5 out of 5 stars. If you are looking for an eye cream, get this one because you will love it! 

Visionnaire is available here 

This is an advanced skin corrector for wrinkles, pores and eyenness. I am excited to try this product as it is meant to visibly reduce wrinkles, minimise pores and imperfections like uneven skin tone. I really hope this product does what it says and it is never too early to use these sorts of products even if you don't have wrinkles! The earlier you start, the better it is!
