I haven't seen it anywhere but I wouldn't really be familiar with bigger Department Stores, maybe someone in a larger town or city might know? I'm only in a tiny little town that still has the Essence Ballerina Backstage dregs on display

Picked up Schwarzkopf got2b straightening blow dry kit in boots this afternoon for 5.99, couldn't find any reviews online so I assume it's a new product? Gonna try it out on sunday anyway so fingers crossed it works in some way, but I'm not expecting miracles!

My new favourite fake tan. Boots Soltan Beautiful Bronze self tan gel.It was €9.99 about 2 weeks ago and have used it twice. I LOVE this so much.It dries quickly,smells lovely,has a tiny hint of a shimmer initially but develops into a lovely medium caramel toned tan overnight. Im literally giving this 10/10...ive nothing bad to say about it
Borrowed this off my flatmate last night. Marks and Spencers nail varnish in Lilac. Really cute spring colour and i was really surprised how lovely this is. I barely get one day (with the kind of work i do) without chipping. This has 1 small chip on my thumb which is a record. Needed 2 coats to see the intensity of the Lilac. Very impressed. 9/10
^Above is not my pic but this is what it looked like on me IRL below today.

Got this in "SuperNova" and it is fantastic and I'm never happy with make up! I don't even use foundation anymore I just use this. I also put it on with a brush and not the sponge applicator it comes with, gives great coverage and it feels like nothing is on my face.0 -

None of the Boots I was in today had the Revlon Lip Butters
No sign at all in Jervis (stuff always seems to be in there way after everywhere else anyway, at least it was that way with Soap & Glory makeup and the Real Techniques brushes), and they only had testers in the Maynooth one, which never usually lets me down.
I did get lots of other stuff though Haven't bought any makeup in a while, so decided to treat myself!
Soap & Glory Bright Here Bright Now energy balm - for mixing with my foundation to make me all illuminous and sparkly.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation - it's got really good reviews, and I needed a new foundation so thought I'd give it a go.
Inglot Cream Concealer in 29 - for contouring. I have the green one of these already, and it is AMAZING, so I thought I'd get a dark one to use under my contour powder (NYX Taupe blush) as using powder by itself doesn't tend to last on me. Only 12 euro as well, which is great as you only need to use a tiny amount.
Barry M Touch of Magic lipstick - I'd swatched this a few times on my arm, and it came out a lovely bright pink (it changes colour depending on your skin's ph level), so I thought I'd get it as there were no lip butters :pac:
Bought a few nail polishes too, which I posted over in the nail polish thread.0 -

I have three Bobbi Brown long wear cream shadows (black pearl, moonstone and sandy gold) and haven't had that problem. I've worn sandy gold and moonstone plenty of times.Bought bobbi brown long wear cream shadow in black pearl, had my eye on the colour for AGES. turns out its not long wear at all and ended up with glitter all over my eyes
SO NOT WORTH THE PRICE.
I haven't worn black pearl though, might wear it around the house a bit before venturing out with it on, just in case I've the same problem as you have.0 -

They are glittery but I don't think they are overly glittery tbh. That said, I only apply a tiny amount so the more you apply the more glittery they will look.Is there alot of glitter in the other ones?
I'll PM you a link to some swatches if you want, they are on my blog so I can't post the link publicly as it's not allowed to promote personal blogs

I just went to my bathroom in the dark since I was half asleep and didn't want to deal with the bright lights...and accidentally knocked my benefit high beam onto the tiled floor! Of course the bottle smashed, highlighter everywhere
I will probably replace it eventually because I love it! But would anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper dupe that would keep me going until I have enough to pay benefit prices?0 -
Picked up this Origins Never a Dull Moment exfoliator in the US for $21. It seems really thick, but I do like a good exfoliator
And, because I didn't pack any body lotion/moisturiser with me, I got this Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Relief - smells divine

3 for 2 in make up in Boots!
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 kisses in Endless Blossom (furthest to the left)
Good colour, stains nicely and the balm at the other end is nice too.
Barry M TMLP lipstick.
Pinky colour that adjusts to the PH of your lips. At the moment it's a bright rapsberry colour on me
Maybelline Colour sensational luscious lipgloss in 410 peach sorbet.
Lovely colour, not a very strong colour payoff but just enough to give a peach sheen. Not sticky at all and no glitter either woo!!
