My Top Five: Eye Products Under £10





Sleek Palettes
£6.49 from Superdrug or Sleekmakeup.com

I've had lots of these in the past but the ones I've held on to are the Original, Storm and Sunset palettes; all of which are permanent. These eyeshadows are great quality. I'm not a fan of their matte shadows but I'm not a fan of matte shadows in general anyway. Each palette contains 12 shadows. They tend to come out with a lot of limited edition palettes but there is something for everyone in the permanent range, too.



MUA Pro Palettes
£4 from Superdrug

I have this in Heaven & Earth - it's a great neutral palette. The shadows are creamy and well pigmented. There are 12 shadows in each palette and I believe there are five palettes available.




GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pens
£5.99 from Superdrug

I'm not the best at applying liquid liner but I really like this one. It comes in lots of different shades. The best thing about this liner is its staying power - I swatched these on my hand when I first got them and they stayed on through me washing the dishes and having a shower!




17 Wild Metallics Cream Eyeshadows
£3.99 from Boots

These are really nice cream shadows. They're available in six shades at the moment but hopefully 17 will come out with more! The shade I have is called Wild Nude and it's a great neutral shade for a quick eye look. Definitely worth checking out!

E.L.F. Eye Lid Primer
£1.50 from E.L.F.

This is a really decent eye primer. I've repurchased this a couple of times. It's very similar to Urban Decay's Primer Potion. It's a great product to try if you're not sure about spending lots of money on an eye primer.




Do you have any favourite eye products from the high street/drugstore? Let me know!

Superdrug Haul - Barry M, Rimmel, GOSH, Revlon

I have a few hauls coming up over the next couple of weeks so I hope you don't mind! I seem to have been on a bit of a crazy spending spree so watch out for a 'no-buy' series again sometime very soon.

Superdrug currently have a 3 for 2 offer across all cosmetics and they're giving 10 beauty card points per pound if you spend more than £10 so I picked up nine items, obviously.

First up, I have completely fallen in love with Barry M Nail Paints again, I used to have lots of them when I was at school but over the years I've never repurchased them. I picked up four shades: Mushroom, Indigo, Block Orange and Blueberry Ice Cream.





Next is another 'rediscovery' for me. I went off liquid liner some time ago as I find gel liners much easier to work with. However, being the fickle beast I am, I've started using them again. I only have a brown and a grey so I picked up two of the GOSH Long Lasting Eyeliner Pens in Navy Blue and Purple. I don't know why they call these 'pens' though as they're not! I tested them on the back of my hand and the swatches were still there after washing the dishes so I have high hopes for these!






I really like Revlon lip products and have had my eye on their Super Lustrous lip gloss in Nude Lustre for a while now so I decided to pick it up. It's just a nice nude-pink shade.




I've heard a few girls on YouTube talking about the Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro primer and thought I'd give it a go. It's nice and creamy so I thought it would be good during the colder winter months.




Finally, I picked up a Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer in Medium. This seems to be a favourite in the beauty world so I thought I'd give it a go.





Has anyone else taken advantage of the Superdrug offers? What did you pick up?
