Mini Haul | Bargains from Tesco

This is a very small haul but I wanted to share what I got nevertheless. I actually got these bits because I had £5 in Tesco clubcard points and I decided to turn it into £10 when they did their clubcard exchange. I used the £10.00 on the Tesco website and knew I was going to spend it on some make-up or skincare products. After looking I decided to get a couple of VIVO bits, which are Tesco’s own brand seen as they don’t sell them in my local store. So what I got for £10 was:

VIVO Ultimate Brow and Eye Kit - £5.00

I wanted a little set for my eyebrows and was going to get the FashionistA one, but I saw this one and it looked just as good. I really like this little set and the colours are great (although they don't look great in these pictures because of the lighting!) I don’t like to have my eyebrows too dark so the middle colour is nice. The colours are also really nice as eye shadow bases. This set is a really good size and also comes with and angled and blending brush and a gel brush to set.

 

VIVO Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream- £4.00

This blusher is now one of my favourites and it is such a lovely colour. It is a peachy/coral colour and adds a really nice glow and shimmer when applied. It is very pigmented and you don’t need a lot to get a good colour. I am so impressed with it that I now really want to try all their other baked blushers and bronzers as all the colours look great!

Rimmel Clear Complexion Anti-Shine Powder - £3.98

I wanted this powder as I often get a shiny forehead and wanted something to apply without added loads more powder. This is a transparent powder and I have been applying before my foundation and as a setting powder. So far its working pretty well but I will have to see how it holds up on a night out!

As you may have noticed this totals £12.98 so money had to be added on top of my £10 voucher. Seen as I have been on a spending ban I thought I could bypass the £3 as it isn’t much but my boyfriend kindly offered to pay for it so I didn’t spend a penny!

Have you tried any of these products or would you try them? 

Poundland Beauty Bargains

If you haven't already heard about the amazing products Poundland have been stocking then where have you been!? I had been eager to get down to my local store since I heard about this and on Saturday I had a look and got some good buys!

The main product I had heard they were stocking is Stila cosmetics and I managed to get my hands on their Sheer Colour Tinted Moisturizer, although they only had it in one colour which is 02 Bare, I tested it in store and it is only slightly lighter than my skin tone. This wasn't the kind of texture I imagined it too be - I thought it would be quite thin, but it actually has a consistency more like a foundation and blends really well.

I also picked up the Stila Angel Light whitening powder foundation refill which I have tried and really like. It's nice to put a light covering over the top of foundation, and as I am prone to oily skin it keeps my face looking matte.

I also spotted the Rimmel lip gloss which is a lovely colour and as I only have red lipsticks it's nice to have a lip gloss too!

I usually only ever use Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner but lately I have been trying others so I thought I would add this VO5 shampoo to the list. 

I will definitely be checking back in Poundland regularly now to see what else I can find. You really can't go wrong for a £1!
