FROM MIA....TO MIAMI POP! A BOOTS HAUL

hey hey hey!

Haven't blogged for ages - completely my bad - real life kind of got in the way and my creative juices were completely sapped. 

 

Still been shopping though (of course) and a little haul from that perennial fave Boots seemed to be the perfect way to dip my toe back in the blogging waters.

 

So.....this lunchtime I popped down to my local Boots at Canary Wharf - ostensibly to spend my Boots voucher on some eye make up remover......it always starts with a necessity.

 

However, while I was there I shimmied past Collection 2000 and noticed these Shimmer Shades bricks. Now - I have never had a good Collection 2000 experience so you think I would have learned. Concealer, mascara, powder: every product I have purchased from Collection 2000 in the past has fallen at the first hurdle. But I am a sucker for cute packaging and I have a couple of rugby tours coming up - and bitter experience has taught me never to take my good stuff on these!

cute huh? 

First up is Way to Glow: a bronzey shimmer selection:

 Way to Glow Girl!

 

And Blushalicious - pretty much what it says on the can: 

 

 

 Blushalicious!

and now on the fingers:

 

hmmm I have to say the blushes are quite chalky and I think will need a lot of layering. But the colours ARE pretty, just not as pigmented as other cheaper brand blushes like Sleek (see my next Blogpost for my new FAVE Sleek product!)

 

At 4.19 each (plus a free lipgloss with 2 Collection 2000 products) this is a decent bargain. But I guess you get what you pay for.

 

I then found myself, as if by magic, passing the No17 stand - normally not a brand I would seek out - but this divine nail varnish caught my eye. I am always on the look out for a perfect orange varnish for my summer toes, and this juicy little number is called Miami Pop so how could I resist. Plus the shade is called Downtown. "Where all the lights are bright?" I hear you ask?  Yes now I have that song in my head too.......

 

 

 

 I'm in Miami Bitch!

 

So that was it - a couple of Wednesday treats to help me get over Hump Day

 

Hope you liked!

 

Until next time .........xo
