So if you haven’t already seen the Counters at boots that stock Ruby & Millie then let me tell you there is a bargain to be had! Although it was a couple of months ago now that Ruby & millie announced that they would no longer be selling their range in Boots so in order to sell all the range and make way for something new Boots declared a 75% off SALE!! Now don’t get me wrong this late in the game means that online stocks are nil and the counter i visited was extremely sparse! With only a few eyeshadows, a few lipglosses and foundations in only a couple of shades. So i saw this and went as mad as i could go with such a small selection.
I love eyeshadows and i believe you can never have enough especially if you are a make up artist or a make up addict in general. I Chose Purple, Red, Black, Yellow, Brown and Green some have a Beautiful shimmer to them and they all are highly pigmented, i can see i’m going to have alot of fun with these. £2.75 each!!

| and they stack! so they're easy to store neat and tidy <3 |
Then i picked up a purple lipgloss because the colour was fab but upon testing it i noticed that most the pigment collected at the lip line and left the mid lip section looking all washed out so i think it would look alot better over a purple or black lipstick. I also think that to say it should have cost £10.77 you dont get alot of it-£2.69!!
I also chose a white kohl pencil and it is sooo creamy and soft to apply i love it already. £2.50!!- Update- on another trip i picked up the blue and the green kohl pencils because the colours are really nice.
Next up nail varnishes, now i’ve never been one to be into nail polish i own a few colours sure but i would never pay over £4 for a nail varnish unless it was super duper special limited edition beautiful or if it was the most amazing product ever. The colours in my collection are either black, dark blues, dark greens or reds and pinks. But looking at the almost bare counter two colours caught my eye a bright light pearl blue and the cutest bright yellow with just a touch of sparkle.
My local boots also had a couple of box sets, some of which were open so useless to me but i found one right at the back which hadn’t been opened and mauled. It was the metallics collection which contained 3 liquid vials with wands that were a rose gold highlighter, a silver eyecolour and a golden highlighter also in the collection was a coral blusher and a pale peach blush along with 2 brushes. £4.64!!
And while we’re on the topic of brushes i managed to grab the very last brush they had which was a foundation brush and it is amazing. Soft and well made the handle is long so it’s easy to hold. My love of make up brushes continues. £3!!
Update-
I went to the larger Boots in Meadowhall and they had alot more stock. i had also found on the 'tools' aisle that they had ruby and millie brushes that didn't have any of the 75% off signage so i asked a very helpful counter assistant and he said he had been looking for those brushes to put on the counter so i led him to the racks of brushes and he scanned them to see if they were in the sale and sure enough they were so i picked up atleast one of everything :D you can never have too many brushes :D
 |
| brushes left to right- powder, foundation, longer handled foundation, cheek, eyeliner 7mm, i-brush, lip, i-define. |
 |
| cosmetic sponges, slanted tweezers & i-lash curler. |
Also on this visit i picked up an eye primer pen (although i thought was a lipgloss until i got home and read the label lol)
and i picked up a duel eye powder pen in turquoise/white. i love how the turquoise has a metallic shimmer and the white is matte.
Also the best thing about boots is if you have an advantage card you can pay for your goodies with your points if you have enough so i paid for some of my Ruby & Millie products with my boots points so my haul should have cost £342.82 at its original price but with the 75% off and using my points i saved £267.58 in total! I love that kind of math J
Love Jo x x x
