A few Boots beauty purchases

So last week I placed a cheeky little Boots order after the new Estee Lauder Double wear nude was mentioned on beauty news. After going on the website I also found an incredible Smashbox deal so I knew I had to make a purchase which led me to this haul.

 

So first off we have the Double Wear nude, I have always fancied giving double wear a go as so many youtubers and bloggers say it is their holy grail however I just know I would never be able to wear it as my skin is dry and it would just go cakey. However when this was released I knew I had to give it a go. It is a water based foundation meaning it is very runny but it still offers a good amount of coverage. The shade I went for in the end was 1N0 which is the palest shade in the range. So far I am really liking it so expect a review in the coming weeks.

 

Next up I got the N07 Lift and luminate foundation. This is a product that Kathleen lights mentioned a couple of months ago, as a rule any foundation that she likes and recommends I tend to get on with too so I had to give it a go. Compared to the Estee Lauder it is definitely thicker however still doesn't feel heavy. Again shade wise I went for the palest shade however this is definitely darker both the EL and the NYX bases. I have heard a lot about the NYX Total control drops so I have been waiting very patiently for them to drop in stores in the UK. This is similar to the Estee lauder in terms of how thin it is. I am actually yet to try this one but again I will be putting up a review of this once I have tried it properly.

 

 

Moving on to my absolute bargain purchase I picked up the Smashbox Matte exposure palette which is a beautiful collection of both orange and purple toned mattes for £30 and then got a free be legendary lipstick in a shade of my choice for free. I went for the shade Firestorm which is a beautiful orange toned red shade. The palette has 14 shades and also comes with a nice quality double ended brush. Again there will be reviews up of both of these so keep your eyes peeled if you want to know more.
