Another Little Haul: Clinique, MAC & Cheapsmells





I heard about Clinique's latest gift with purchase offer and I knew that Debenhams were offering 500 extra points on purchases over £40 so I popped into the store to pick up a couple of things I've been wanting to try. I'm not sure why I've never tried one of their Chubby Sticks before; they're the kind of lip products I usually go for. I went for the shade Mega Melon because it looked like a nice summer shade. After trying their Turnaround serum and thinking it was okay, I wanted to try their Even Better Clinical one because I thought it would work better for me. I have a few dark spots on my chin from spots so I'm hoping this can lighten them. 


I got an amazing bag of free products to try - it's why I'm posting this haul! The offer ends this Saturday (the 25th) so I wanted to make sure you could still get it if you're interested. The sales assistant did give me a little sample of the Even Better foundation in shade 05 Neutral and a sample size of my favourite Liquid Facial Soap. She switched out the Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion for a second tub of the Moisture Surge as she said that would work better for my skin right now. Here's a quick run down of what comes in the gift:

Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser - 50ml
Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion - 30ml
Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief - 15ml
All About Eyes - 7ml
High Impact Mascara - 3.5ml
Four Colour Lip Palette - 4g

I'm not super keen on the lip palette but I'm looking forward to trying out all the skincare products and High Impact is one of my all time favourite mascaras so I was pleased to receive that. 



I posted about two of the products I bought from Cheapsmells recently but I had also ordered this, it just took a while longer to arrive. Gemma and Emma both recommended this product recently and it seemed like a good buy since it was so cheap. I believe I paid around £10 for this 60ml bottle. It's called  No. 4711 and it's basically a cologne. Emma said it helps her relieve headaches when travelling. Boyfriend hates the smell of it! I quite like it though, it's very light and fresh. 


I popped into MAC to get a lipstick for a friend and accidentally (yeah, right!) bought MAC Blankety. It's been on my wish list for a while and I hardly ever go into the MAC store so it was a total impulse buy but one I think I'll enjoy.

I'd like to say this is the last bit of shopping I'll do for a while but...who am I trying to kid!?
