RiRi and Nicki Ft. Superdrugs 3 for 2

I think I am the worst impulse buyer ever!! Today I was in a really crappy mood, so I did what I always do and headed down to Superdrug as in the morning I received an email telling me about their 3 for 2 offer across all brands, so why not, I needed the cheering up and I love what I got!
Firstly is lips. My Superdrug are finally stocking the Sleek Lipstick Palettes! I found it so hard as to which one to buy first, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go back and buy the other 3 in the 3 for 2 offer! At the moment I'm seriously loving my bright pinks so I opted for Showgirl, and I cannot wait to have a play around with this palette. These are retailing at £8.99 which I don't think is unreasonable for a lipstick quad.
Next is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks I've seen so many posts and have been totally undecided on which colour to buy so today I took the plunge and carried on the pink theme with 08 Rose Studio. Which again is another gorgeous coloured lipstick for £7.99
Not to long ago MUA also released their baked trio eyeshadows. Now I have some of their original trios but being the MUA fanatic that I am, I had to try the baked trios. Now I know these look very similar but I had to get both because I really couldn't decide on which one to buy. The eyeshadow on the right hand side I'm pretty sure is the same in both but on the right trio the bottom and left eyeshadow are quite a bit darker than the left trio so for £3.00 and with one of them being free I decided to get both. On the left is Legendary and on the right is Emotions.
Finally, let me introduce you to my new babies. I decided a while back that I really wanted to buy my first MAC Lipstick but I couldn't decide on which one as there are hundreds of gorgeous colours to choose from. That was until RiRi Woo was about to be launched. I love a good red lippy and although many people said it's a copy of Ruby Woo that didn't bother me because I didn't own it and they're the same price, and plus, I am such a Rihanna fan girl.
My next baby is the Nicki Minaj Pink Friday perfume. You all know that I'm a perfume addict and absolutely adore Nicki so when I smelt it I knew I had to purchase it on the introductory offer of £22.00 before it went up in price!
 
I've loved all that I've been buying recently and will be reviewing them all soon. What have you all been buying lately?

Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

 
Yes, today is all about this baby. I know I'm really late with jumping onto the bandwagon or joining the hype of certain products, (other than my latest purchase, if you haven't seen my Instagram I brought my first Mac lipstick in the form or RiRi Woo!) But it was worth the wait as I read lots of reviews, I grew more and more intrigued about the lip butters and finally brought one in the shade Strawberry Shortcake, and I haven't looked back! I suffer from really dry lips and this is a gods send! It's really moisturising and the colour is beautiful, perfect for natural looks in the day but the shade can be made more bold by applying more coats to the lips.
It's a very glossy texture and a beautiful colour. I definitely want to try out other shades in their range, especially their new spring/summer collection and for £7.99 they're not too badly priced either. The application is also brilliant, I love how it doesn't cling to the cracks in my lips and show off the bits which I don't want emphasised!
Sometimes I think it's best to wait around a bit when new products come out to read reviews and swatch them for yourself because I think I've found one of my favourite lippys here!
 
Have you tried any of the Revlon Lipbutters?

Cath Kidston Bath & Body

I recently received this Cath Kidston Bath & Body gift set, which is something which I wouldn't think to pick up myself, not just the gift set but any Cath Kidston product. It's not that I' not a fan, well I'm probably not seeing as I've never brought anything from Cath Kidston, it's just not a shop which I would choose to shop on. Don't get me wrong, I still think they do lovely things, just not for me. However, I love this little gift set!

I love how this set is just complete, everything you need to give your self a pamper and to have some 'me time' which is always my favourite time. I The case which this all comes in is gorgeous along with the packaging of the products, which has well and truly stuck to the Cath Kidston theme. The makeup bag I've kept and I'm using it to store travel and sample sized products in as it's just the perfect size and then they can all be kept together. I think I'm starting to get the hang of organisation!
These Bath Crystals are perfect for relaxing in the bath. They smell heavenly, of blossom and rose. I was also surprised when I saw that there was this cute candle and tea light. I've been using this in my bedroom and carrying it through into the bathroom for that perfect relaxation mood. I don't know many gift sets like this which come with candles so I love it. A muslin flannel also came with the set. I'll use this more for my face as I prefer using sponges in the bath and shower.
And these were my favourite products. The soap always comes in handy at some point, especially after my LUSH soap runs out. But for now it's in my knicker draw, making my draws smell pretty. (Please tell me I'm not the only one to out soap bars and empty perfume bottles in my undies draws?!)
This shower gel and body lotion are slowly going to become my favourites, and because they aren't full sizes I've had to put them away into my travelling bag for when any over night stays I may have. They both have a very light refreshing floral fragrance to them which is perfect for the current spring/summer, and the body lotion is also very quick drying which is always a bonus!

Have you tried any Cath Kidston beauty products?
