Drugstore Haul

Hello lovelies, I hope you’re all having a lovely evening. About a month ago I had a huge clear out and I was shocked at the amount of beauty products I own, so that’s why I haven’t done a Haul post for a while. But being me I decided to treat myself, just a little the other day. So this is what I bought.
























Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Blue Grape & Lyche I’m a fan of the Barry M Nail polish’s but hadn’t yet had the chance to try the Gelly polishes so I decided to pick some up to try. I painted my nails the shade Blue Grape later that day and I have to say I LOVE the formula, it’s easier to apply, super shiny and seems to be long lasting. I will be trying out more shades soon. Barry M Nail Art Pen I picked this up because I really wanted to give it ago to see how well it works, If all goes well I will try other shades. L'Oreal Lipstick Rouge Caresse Cheeky Magenta I already have one of the Caresse Lipsticks in Fashionist Pink which I’ve been wearing a lot this summer. They give a tint to the lips and are very moisturising; I like these lipsticks because they are like tinted lip balm and perfect to keep the lips hydrated in warm weather. MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner Lovely Lilac I’ve been looking for a lilac eyeliner to create a look I have in mind. The sales assistant recommended this to me and I was wowed by the color pay off and the effect it gave. Glamour & Lash Studio False No real reason for buying these lashes, I just always seem to pick them up when I’m shopping


Single Synthetic Hair Extensions in Pink, Black and Purple I buy these from time to time because I like to add a bit of colour to my wigs for make-up looks. They are extremely low quality but are perfect for what I used them for. 


Freederm Overnight Clearing Serum I decided I could no longer use the night product I had been using because I really didn’t like it nor did it do anything for me. I choose this product on whim, I’ve never used any of the Freederm products before so I’m hoping this works for me. Johnsons gentle eye make-up remover I’d just used up the last of my make-up remover and fancied a change, my friend recommended me this one, and I’m so pleased she did. I used this the other day when I had heavy eye make-up on and it removed everything superbly, I will be buying this again once I run out. Nail The Habit I have a gross habit of biting the skin around my cuticles; it’s something I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Hopefully this product will help me beat the habit.

Barry M Nail Polishes





























I picked these three polishes up last week in my local Superdrug, the three for two offer had me tempted. So I decided to choose Blueberry Ice Cream and Strawberry Ice cream because I had been looking for polishes in these shades for a while. As per usual with most three for two offers I always get stuck on the last item (the free one) and I never know what to choose, so I randomly  chose Bright Purple. 


A few days later I decided to apply some of my polishes on to some nail wheels so it would be easier for me to chose colours when wanting to paint my nails or nail art.  





















Here are two of the nail wheels I created, each nail has two coats of polish applied. I've marked my three new polishes so you can get an idea of what the shades look like. 



































Just like all my other Barry M polishes they are great quality, easy to apply and they have all last between 10-15 days. But it always helps to use a decent quality top coat. I love blueberry and strawberry ice cream but I don't like the bright purple so much because I was hoping it would be a *bright* purple but its quite dark in my opinion. 

I will be purchasing more Barry M nail polishes because they have lots of pretty colours to choose from and I really like the quality of the nail polishes.
