Pound World Revlon Haul Number 1!

Hi All! I picked up all these Revlon Parfumerie polishes in my local Pound World, they are still retailing for £6.49 each at Boots!

I got one of every colour that they had but I know some of the Pound World stores have even more of a variety so it's worth going to have a look!

 One coat of each of the above polishes (L-R)

China Flower

African Tea Rose

Wild Violets

One coat of the above polishes (L-R)

Italian Leather

Balsam Fir

Beachy

Fresh Linen

They all do smell quite strongly once they are dry.  My favourites are China Flower, African Tea Rose and Wild Violets.  They all smell really floral and the colours are gorgeous.

I'm not so keen on Balsam Fir as it smells like toilet cleaner! The colour is lovely though.

I was most disappointed with Italian Leather, I love the colour but it doesn't smell at all like leather.

Have you picked any of these up in your local Pound World? I will be popping in again to see if they have any more in stock!

Poundworld Haul

Hi All! Wow it feels like ages ago since I last wrote a blog post! I've returned to work after my maternity leave so I'm just trying to find the balance between working, looking after my boys and blogging!

I picked up these fab bargains in my local Pound World last week.

Maybelline Baby Lips.  I picked up one of each, I know these have been around for a while now but I have not tried them and couldn't resist for £1 each.

The outside packaging was not all in English so I wasn't quite sure which scents I was buying but the balms themselves have the names on in English.  I got Anti-Oxidant Berry, Cherry Velvet and Mango Pie.  These are all colourless so fab to pop under any drying lipsticks.  They all contain SPF20 so I'll be taking these on my hols.

These colourless balms retail for around £2.80 each on Amazon.

I also picked up these two Revlon Baby Sticks for Lips & Cheeks.

I got shades Sunset and Tahitian.  I found these for £3.29 each on Amazon.

My local Pound World is a bit hit and miss but sometimes it has some fab bargains like these pretties! What's the best thing you have bought from a pound shop?

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Rendez-vous

I have a slight addiction to lip products. Namely pink lip products. So when I heard that Revlon were releasing the Just Bitten Kissable balm stain range I couldn't wait to get my hands on one (or two!). I love my Revlon lip butters and have all the pink shades so popped along to Boots (Boots and Superdrug currently have Just Bitten on offer for £5.99) fully intending to pick up one of the pink shades.....

However...

The local Boots had sold out of all the pink shades so I ended up being a bit more adventurous and getting Rendez-vous. 

It's a bright orange/coral colour and completely out of my comfort zone! 

The bottom twists to push the "crayon" up. There is a lot of product and I think this will last for ages! The balm smells minty which is a nice touch. The colour applies well, no dragging and is very pigmented. The only thing I didn't like about it was its lasting power, I needed to reapply this frequently. I also found it didn't stain my lips evenly leaving a stain only around the edges which made me look as though I had been eating something orange!  

I'm glad they had sold out of the pink shades, making me pick up Rendez-vous.

 I have so many pink products that I would never have got around to using it! 

I went to another store and swatched all the colours as I want another one whilst they are on special offer.

Top to Bottom

Rendez-vous

Romantic

Crush

Honey

Lovesick

Cherish

I took this after the swatches had been on my hand for an hour.

As you can see the colours fade quickly, but they do leave varying degrees of stain.

Have you picked any of these up? What do you think?

Whats on my desk?

I love seeing the posts showing what people carry in their handbags etc (so nosy), today I went to re-apply my lippy in work and realised I have a right little collection of beauty goodies that I keep out on my desk in work so this is my twist on the handbag post!
