Next up we have the Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde mascara. This has been on my wishlist for so long and I've been saving up my boots points to get this, but I found this one on Depop for only £4.50 and it said it's never been used! I've tried it a few time and so far so good. This normally retails for £9.99. Click here for link.

Finally we have Maybellines Brow drama sculpting brow mascara. This is what I use on a day to day basis so I thought I might as well see if I can get it a bit cheaper. There wasn't many in the shade dark brown but I did find this one for £4 never used so only £1 cheaper than buying it from the shops, but every pound counts! If you would like a full review of this, let me know in the comments. Click here for link.

Just a quick post for today. Again if you have depop, let me know your username in the comments and I will give you a follow! You can get all of these from Boots who currently have their 3 for 2 so you can go out and get all 3 of these!

What's your favourite mascara?

Thanking you,

Naomi.

Seventeen Lip Crayon gift set - £5 in sale. This was second on my wishlist to the Clinique whole lotta chubby set but they sold out of them before christmas. Although a little cheaper they still seem to be very pigmented and for only £5 for 4 lip crayons, I couldn't pass on the bargain! 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipstick in Nude-ist - £9. These have been on my wishlist for so long and I'm glad I've finally got one! They're a little expensive but I had a boots gift card so I thought I would treat myself.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand cream set - £4 in sale.

Aloe protecting restoring mask + Aloe cooling gel gift set - £15

Shower Lillie - £1 in sale.

In terms of deals, the Body Shop is pretty good unfortunately I completely forgot about most of them! There is currently a code for 30% off non-sale items which I forgot to bring with me. Also when you spend £5 or more on your receipt you get £10 off a £25 spend, so you only have to spend £15 so I could have got a lot more for even less! Oh well, looks like it's another trip back to the body shop...

Colgate electric tooth brush - £4.50

Superdrug Hydra eye serum - 99p in clearance

Leafy and Lovely cooling eye mask - £2 in sale

St Ives Invigorating scrub - £1.99 on offer

That's all for this post! If there is any products you would like reviewing let me know in the comments!

What have you got in the sale?

Thanking you,

First up is the standard gift cards. I normally prefer getting these as I can specific colours or sizes of things, particularly Superdrug or The Body Shop vouchers. I really want to get into The Body Shop vitamin E skincare range so that will be on my sales shopping list! Next is Flowers in the air by Kenzo. I received a sample of this ages ago and I was totally in love with it so hopefully this will go in the sales, or I might get it from fragrance direct. A new watch is definitely a must for me this christmas as the one I currently have is starting to fall apart, so I found this men's Sekonda watch from watchshop.com. Yes, I know it's a men's watch, but I couldn't find any in this style in the women's section. Next up is this MUJI acrylic storage. An odd thing to ask for christmas but I really want some of these as my make up collection seems to be growing rapidly. Next is the Clinique Whole lotta chubby. This is the only make up gift set I've seen that I'm actually interested in as they're all colours I would wear. I have been wanting some new straighteners for ages as the ones I have are fairly useless, so these Remington straighteners would do the job great. The Bourjois Rouge edition velvets are something that has been on my wishlist for so long. These are something I would buy with a voucher or pick up whilst in the sales. Lastly We have the Sony in-ear earphones which I have been dying for for ages. I did have a pair of these but lost them so I've been using the old apple ones for ages and I can't stand them, so I would love a new pair of these!

I hope you've enjoyed this wishlist! Make sure you check out my Greedy Book here to see all the items plus a few extra here.


What's on your christmas wishlist?

Hi, I'm Jasmine and I'm guest posting for Naomi today. I blog over at Magpie Jasmine and you can follow me on Twitter @jasmineacs. I love hunting for high-quality bargains so today I'm bringing you some of my favourite low-cost beauty finds for the new season :)

10. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder, £7.99

If you're feeling your holiday tan fading, this bronzer is the perfect not-too-shimmery shade to add a bit of colour.

9. MUA Undress Me Too Palette, £4

A whopping £33 cheaper than the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette with almost identical taupe and gold shades!

8.  Makeup Revolution Vivid Blush Lacquer in Bloom, £3

If you're like me and get a super-shiny face in the summer months, liquid blushers are a huge no-no. However, with the temperature cooling I'm finding myself reaching for this natural peachy shade. The formula gives a really natural flush of colour.

7. e.l.f. Studio Matte Lip Colour in Praline, £3.95

I love matte lips, but some of them are way too drying for the autumn. This line, however, is really nice and creamy plus the brown shade is perfect for Autumn/Winter.

6. Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow in On & On Bronze, £4.99

I looove these cream eyeshadows as a base or on their own for when I'm feeling lazy. I'm reaching for the bronze shade this season.

5. Makeup Revolution I Heart Makeup Palette in I Heart Chocolate, £7.99

I'm totally obsessed with this amazing palette (a dupe of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar) and the shades are just perfect for this season: Autumn/Winter doesn't have to mean dull colours! 

4. Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Red Velvet, £7.99

This is perfect for if you want to rock a darker lip this season but you're not sure if you can pull it off. You can apply one layer and it's relatively sheer or build it up to something more opaque. I also love how hydrating the formula is.

3. e.l.f. Studio Cream Blush in Vixen, £6.50

I love this shade for Autumn! It can be applied quite lightly or easily built up to be more intense - perfect if you want to try a dark blusher but you're not quite sure. 

2. Sleek Blush in Suede, £4.49

I love this as an everyday shade that goes with just about everything. It's sort of a muted peach and I've worn it so much already this A/W as it's really subtle for if you're doing deep lips.

1. Makeup Revolution Ultra Palette in Flawless, £8

I love love love this palette! There are 32 shades, all of which are perfect for this season. I travel a lot and this is so versatile I can easily just take this and I'm able to create looks for day and night.

1) Praline 2) Red Velvet 3) Barely Pink (Flawless) 4) Molton Chocolate (Flawless) 5) Dreamy (Undress Me Too) 6) Obsessed (Undress Me Too) 7) One More Piece (I Heart Chocolate) 8) Chocolate Love (I Heart Chocolate) 9) On and On Bronze

10) Bourjois Bronzer 11) Suede 12) Vixen 13) Bloom

I hope this has given you some beauty ideas now the most expensive time of the year is fast-approaching! Let me know what you think of my picks in the comments...

The Body Shop Body Mist, Vineyard Peach, £3.10 (On offer, normally £7.50)

 The product comes in a little glass pot with a matte black lid, pretty standard. You only get 5g worth of product which isn't a lot considering how much you pay for it, but I guess that more grams than in a single eye shadow so it's not too bad. I'm actually keeping it in the box at the moment and taking it out when I use it, just to keep it as nice as possible for as long as possible!

So far I'm loving it, it's so nice and creamy without being too wet. I've tried it both as a single colour and as an eye shadow base and it's worked great. As a single colour it just makes your eyes look so much brighter and awake, and as a base it helps the shadow stay on longer and more opaque. It's super simple to apply, just using my index finger, swirl it around in the product and swipe it onto the eyelid and blend out. It doesn't crease too bad and stays on for so long! Even just swatching it it took a good scrub to get it off!

This swatch was with 2 strokes so you can see it's quite pigmented. It's this gorgeous matte nude colour, a bit lighter than my normal skin colour. They have some similar darker nude shades but I wanted something that would brighten my eyes a bit more. 

Obviously there are a number of cream eyeshadows on the high street for a lot less; Maybelline colour tattoo, Bourjois colour edition e.c.t, but I don't think you'll find one that's this kind of colour or quality. I have heard about some new 'Leather' effect colour tattoos that are being launched soon so maybe they might have some similarities, I'll have to keep my eye out for them!

So, although I didn't feel a bit guilty after buying this, and it was a little expensive for what it is, I love its lots! I'll be on the look out for a dupe, but for now this one is perfect!

Have you tried the Paint pots by Mac?

Thanking you,

Why, hello there...

I haven't done a wishlist in such a long time! They're isn't actually that many things in this wishlist but they're mainly things I've been looking at for a while, so lets get started!

1. JustFab Sandals, £35. I'm currently looking for some shoes for my 6th form leavers dinner but want something I can wear again instead of some fancy shoes that will be put to the back of my wardrobe. I would like to find a jumpsuit (like the one in the collage) so I really want the shoes to be black with a pop of colour or something. So yeah, after that ramble, really like these shoes!

2. MUA Power Pout in Justify, £3. For some reason, I been loving orange, particularly lips even though I don't have any orange lip products..yeah I don't know how that happened either. This one is only £3 so my next trip to superdrug will require hunting this down.

3. New Look Jumpsuit, £22.99. As said before, I'm looking for a black jumpsuit for my 6th form leavers dinner. although I still unsure as to whether I go maxi dress or a short dress, I'll maybe do a post on my outfit choices soon so look out for that!

4. Bourjois Effect 3D Lipgloss in Orange Juteuse, £7.99. Again with the orange lips. I've recently re-discovered my lipgloss collection and I've been loving them for the spring. I've swatched this in-store and the pigmentation was great, so I'll hopefully pick it up soon.

5. L'Oreal Studio line Matte and Messy Salt-spray, £3.75. I've been wanting a salt spray for a while now. I have naturally wavy/curly hair but most of the time I just straighten it so I want something that gives a bit of texture during the summer.

6. JustFab heals, £35. Another pair of shoes for my leavers dinner. These are a bit different for me but I really like them! There is a possibility of going into town after the meal and these would be a bit better for that, I just can't decide!

Looking at it now, my wishlist kind of looks like an outfit plan! Hope you've enjoyed this post!

What's on your wishlist?

Thanking you,

Why, Hello there...

This has to be one of the best/funniest buys I've ever bought! I went into a shop near me called 'Amazing Savings' which, if you don't have one near you, is just like 'It's A Gift' but sells everything. I was looking at their make-up/beauty section to see if they had any dupes of other products and low-and-behold, there was this product:

This is an EXACT dupe for Bourjois' Volumizer Mascara, which is normally £10.49 on-line at Boots. I got this one for £1.69. Yup, £1.69. The only difference is that its brand name is 'Aifeiya'. I tried researching it but I couldn't find a lot apart from another dupe they did of Maybelines volum' express colossal mascara and most of them were on foreign websites. 

The other thing I found is that the cheap version has a distict smell to it. I'm not sure whether It's a nice smell or not, or I'm just intoxicating myself, but if you have the original Bourjois it would be awesome if you could let me know what it's like! If you don't have a shop that sells the cheap version near you and would like one to do a comparison on both versions, or just want to try it, leave a comment on this post saying you would like one and I will get in contact to send you one! Look out for a review of this coming up soon!

Thanking you,

Naomi
