I've seen a lot of blogs doing this and a lot of YouTubers doing this so I thought I'd give it a whirl (fingers crossed). I know the basics of what I should say in this haul but I reckon there's a lot I could improve on doing this again.
Anyway, lets get started.
So, this is everything I bought, not a lot there but then again this is a 'mini haul'.
First up is some cute, cute socks from Matalan.
I love the print on these socks, they're just so, so cute! One pair is printed with foxes faces and the other has owls printed all over them.
Next up is some simple eye cream or eye balm as it says on the packaging.
I bought this because, obviously from looking at the cream, because I have really puffy eyes. I have only used this twice but I can actually see a slight difference in my eyes, maybe because I want there to be a difference or maybe because it does actually work! This is a creamy serum, to apply it you just have to pat it on rather than massaging it, which I think is a lot better because it doesn't give you any wrinkles whilst you're applying it. I apply this just after I have gotten up and before I've put my makeup on and then just before I got to bed so it can work over night on a clean face. I really hope this cream works because having puffy eyes is a pain when it comes to makeup!
The next product I got was the Benefit "They're Real" Mascara.
I've heard a lot of people recommend this product and I know a few people who have used it so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it does what it says (on the tin). I tried this mascara out this morning when I put my makeup on, I usually wear Maybelline "The Falsies" mascara so this was quite different - but in a good way. I wasn't use to the applicator so it wasn't very easy to apply the first time. But that didn't matter because it actually works so well! The mascara gives you so much length in your lashes and it looks like you have eyelash extensions on, the only downsides to this mascara is that it doesn't give you any volume to your lashes but I guess you can always use a mascara on top or underneath that gives you volume.
I then bought another bit of makeup which was Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Eyeshadow.
I got this in the colour 'On and on bronze' which was one of my favourite colours from the selection, I don't like wearing bright eyeshadows so this was perfect for me. When I tried it out in the shop on my hand I loved the colour on my skin tone and I love the effect of it, it also stays on forever! When I got home it was still on my hand and wasn't faded at all! It is a bronze with a simmer in it in the light but also in the dark it does have the look of a matte colour. I also love the colour "Pink Gold" but the boots I went to didn't have this in stock, so the next day I went to Superdrug and bought it, unfortunately I don't have a picture of this, but as the name of the colour says it is a pinky gold, if used lightly and blended it can be subtle or putting more on you will get the colour showing through a lot more.
As I had lost my other pot - typical me - I went and repurchased a little tin of Vaseline.
(Bad blurry photo, excuse my bad photography). I just got this Vaseline in original because I use it on my eyes and so, unless I want nice smelling eyes something like the strawberry one would be a bit pointless. This is also to help with my puffy eyes (yes, I need two things for my eyes, they are that puffy!). I also will use it on my lips for when I want to wear lipstick so my lips are moisturised and smooth.
Last but not least, I went a repurchased the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner.
This is my favourite gel eyeliner ever! I love it so much, it never dries out (unless you leave the lid off, surprisingly I haven't done that yet!), I've had my previous product of this for what seems like forever, I've defiantly had it more than a year, I might even say more than two! It comes with an eyeliner brush which is really useful and I personally thinks it works very well. I would really recommend this eyeliner to anybody, I think it's better than any higher end products like this as they are known to dry out quickly whereas this doesn't dry out at all. I could go on a lot more about how much I love this product but I don't want to bore you.
OK, so that's it for my mini haul, I hope this is alright because I'm not too sure about it but thought that I'd give it a try even if it is a complete disaster. I actually really enjoyed doing this blog, I don't know why. I really hope you all like this and if you do I might do a few more things like this (although next time I will take better photos).
Have a lovely morning/day/evening from wherever you're reading this.
