I recently was ponding around Boots & Superdrug and picked up a few new releases (excluding my trusty collection concealer - I was running low) and though I would share what's new (new-ish)!
Barry M Showgirl Mascara
I actually got this free when purchasing the Nail Paints, they had a Volumizing & Lengthening version, I went for lengthening but am now wishing I chose volumizing! I don't have much to say about this mascara, it's not good, it's not bad. I think I will try and use it on natural days just to use it up but I will not be re-purchasing.
Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Stain
I saw this advertised and wanted to try it, I could of easily went for the whole collection (which I believe to be 4 colours at the moment) but decided to give one a go first before committing. I chose the darkest purple/plum shade as we are coming into winter and I'm really loving it. It applies lovely and has a lovely finish.
Collection Shadow Stick
I brought this on a whim as I saw it on the stand and it swatched beautifully. This is by far the best drugstore product I've tried in months. I was around £3.00 I think and it the best shadow stick I've tried. I actually really struggled getting the swatch off my hand! It is SUPER creamy and easy to blend and lasts ALL day (I also have very oily eyelids). I am going to picking up the rest of the colours very soon!
Rimmel 25 Hour Nude Foundation in 100
I've been trying this foundation out now for about a week. I do really like it for and easy medium coverage standard foundation. It's not matte but not dewy, just in between. I've found it works best with a silicone based primer, my favourite is the Maybelline Baby Skin. It applies in my opinion a lot smoother. As for the 25 hours wear? On me, nope. After about 6 hours it had wore off around my nose and started to separate on my fore and cheeks. I would re-purchase as it's nice for an every day foundation for me but not one I will reach for if I need staying power!


Katy Perry Perfume
I picked this up on another whim as it was on offer by the checkout, I gave it a quick sniff and really liked it. I like sweet/fresh perfumes. This leans on the sweeter side but still not too in your face, I've been loving it for everyday work wear.
Barry M Matte Nail Paints
I've been loving matte nails recently and wanted to add more to my collection, I thought these were lovely autumn colours and I love the formulation.
I hope you enjoyed my haul, let me know what you've picked up from the drugstore recently!
