This morning was a very drizzly and dull morning, and having spent weeks indoors with text books, I couldn't resist a little retail therapy. I really shouldn't have, my funds are lacking somewhat at the moment due to holiday bookings (!!) and I am actually going shopping in London next week, but hey ho.
The first couple of things are a bit boring - with shampoo and conditioner, I usually just go for the cheapest I can find. Recently, my hair's been looking a bit sorry for itself, so I thought I'd buy some things that would do it a bit of good. I couldn't decide between Aussie and Herbal Essences, but as it was 'buy one, get one free', I decided to go for both! I also got a deep conditioner from John Freida, because I wanted one that will last, not just a silly packet one, which gets finished in one wash! I also got some sea salt spray (from Toni&Guy) for styling purposes. It was relatively cheap (only about £3 I think) so, why not!
I then moved on to foundation. At the moment, I'm using Rimmel's 'Wake me up!' foundation, which I've got to say, really is good. However, it's a shade too dark for me, and it quite high coverage. For going out in the evening, it's perfect, but for every day use, it's not really for me. I read a review of the Bourjois 'Healthy Mix' foundation the other day, and from what I gathered it's a lot more sheer, so thought I'd give it a whirl. I'll let you know how I get on with it.
And finally, I got a Revlon lip butter. I REALLY hate the packaging, I'm not sure why, I think it kind of reminds me of old women?! I'm not really a lipstick kind of girl, I find them a pain to put on, and a pain to keep checking all is still in tact, and re-applying. The consistency of the lip butter is a lot more like a balm, and it's not too highly pigmented, so is pretty perfect for me. It was quite pricey, at £8, but after wearing it today, I think it's worth it. It's got to be said, it doesn't last for hours on end, but sometimes, that's what you want. I got it in the shade 'Berry Smoothie', which I am beginning to regret - it's a shade which is not all that different from my natural lip colour! Overall, a really nice product, so I think I may go back and buy another in the near future!
Have any of you tried any of these products? I'd be interested to see what you think!
Love, India x
