UK Beauty Haul

A tiny beauty haul for today. Sadly on arrival in Superdrug, a lot of what I wanted from the MUA stand was out of stock and there was no Makeup Revolution stand in sight. This made me sad, I was really looking forward to picking up some bits from both stands but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

Before I even stepped foot on the plane from Dublin we were hit with the after effects of the two Ryan Air planes bumping into each other. This meant an hour delay, so naturally I did what any one would do in my position, I popped into MAC. I had very little euros on me but treated myself to a lippie by the name of Syrup. It had been recommended by several people and when I swatched it, I knew it was destined to be mine. It cost €16.60 versus €19.50  in Brown Thomas. It's probably not a bad thing I only had a few euros because I would have happily spent a fortune.

While I was left disappointed from my Superdrug trip, I did pick up MUA Undress Me To Palette and their Makeup Fixing Spray.

In Gatwick airport, I attempted Boots to see if I could locate a Sleek Stand but it wasn't to be. I did however pick up Sanctuary Therapist's Secret Facial Oil  as a treat for my skin. This cost around€19.50 when converted from sterling and on the Boots website it is €25.99 (massive price difference!!)

I plan on giving each of these lovelies there own blog post over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled.

Holiday Beauties Wishlist

Every year, I always plan on picking up a few beauties on my travels. This year is no different, with me planning to pick up items in The Loop, Aer Lingus Sky Mall and when I arrive in Spain. 

The Loop

I love The Loop, for me it is heaven. So many pretty makeup brands at prices a decent bit below high street price. You can even order online (www.theloop.ie) before you go and pick them up before you get on a plane or when you arrive home. 

I haven't quite decided what i want to pick up, all I know if I want to have a look in MAC and pick up some eyeshadows and lippies. I may also pick up some Benefit. If you have recommendations from either brands, please let me know.

Aer Lingus Sky Mall

I've actually never bought anything beauty related on flights. I don't know why. I always plan to but then back out at the last second. Aer Lingus Sky Mall have a pretty decent selection of cosmetics but the ones I'm keeping my eyes out for are the Rimmel Apocolips Trio and Smashbox Brow Tech To Go.

A trio of Rimmel Apocalips lacquers for €15. Given each is usually €7.95, I'll be saving over €8 buying the set

Smashbox Brow Tech To Go €19. RRP €24

Spanish Beauties

Where I'm heading, cosmetics are either the same price or a little cheaper. There is the odd bargain to be had though. There are also brands we can't get here.

I completely fell for this micellar water in the local supermarket. I was stuck for a cleanser and saw it for €2. I genuinely didnt think it'd be much good but I ended up loving it and kicking myself that I didn't buy more of it. Lesson learned! I'll be picking up at least three bottles to keep me going.

Lacoste Touch Of Pink is one of my favourite fragrances but it's really expensive over here. I checked Debenhams and the price of a 50ml is €58. The Perfumria chain in Malaga retails it at €40 and The Loop sell it for €58.65

I'll probably pick up a few more bits once I arrive, I'll be sure to share my Holiday Beauty Haul when I get back.
