MEGA bargain haul.....

Hey guys , Im sorry that this post is a little long but it has over four weeks of shopping so stick with me on this.

So i found myself wondering around the savers shop in Sheffield i was only in there for some shampoo but ended up browsing the make up shelves anyway :D and i found some W7 products which are mega cheap and they seem to be copies of Benefit blushers and W7's 'Africa' looks just like Toofaced pink leopard! i had to try these! and at £1.99 each it was a steal. Tj Hughes also stock loads of W7 products which is where i got the 'Double act' from that was £2.99.

Dupe for Benefits Hoola!

Not as pigmented as Pink leopard but gives a nice highlight to brow bones and cheek bones.

Dupe for Benefit's '10'

 I also picked up W7's 'crackle' in 'Earthquake black' i'm not really one for nail varnishes but these crackle effect varnishes seem to be the 'in thing' at the moment so i thought i'd give it a chance and again at £1.99 i thought that it was worth the try! (i actually went back and bought the white and silver version of this aswell)

Although this looks white on this pic it's actually the silver which is a little glitzy aswell.

 Also another amazing bargain i found in savers! Right by the till was a shelf full of Eylures Girls aloud festival lashes gift sets (you get the lashes, the glue and a coloured lanyard) for 99p! At the time they only had 'Cheryl' (black winged lashed with gold sparkle) and Sarah (black and red criss cross lashes) but i went back later and they had 'Nadine' (black lashes with multicoloured gems at the base) and 'Kimberley' (black winged lashes with little feather extentions). i have the whole set now. Please don't get me wrong i don't like Girls Aloud and i'm not even sure if i really do have the whole set of lashes as i don't know who is in the group or how many! lol But they are really cute lashes and i've already got some neat ideas for looks i could use them in!

So yesterday i went into the city centre after work and to see what i could find so headed to T J Hughes, mostly i think they sell a lot of rubbish, market brand tat but every now and then you stumble across a steal! In this case Urban decays Liquid eyeliner in gash and lucky for only £2.99 each. They have also had the Urban decay brow boxes in TJ’s too.

Also in Tj’s they had a huge range of W7 cosmetics and one in particular was a bronzer/highlighter which looks like a dupe of Benefits ‘10’.

You really just have to look around to find these steals my favorite places to hunt for bargain products are-

-TK Maxx

-Savers

-TJ Hughes

- Ethel Austin (yep i’ve found Bourjois and urban decay here)

-Your local market, you really never know what you’ll find but be on the look out for fakes and avoid them as they aren’t made to the high standard the originals are and you could be putting anything on your face.  At my local market i managed the pick up a bourjois nail varnish for 65p! and a collection2000 mascara for £2.00.

While browsing several make up sites and articles i kept seeing the brand Stila mentioned and especially their smudge pots. I tried to buy direct from their US site but like an awkward few brands they don’t deliver to the UK. After a quick google i found a place to buy stila from even if it was a little unexpected. It seems our online argos stock Stila aswell as other top brands such as Benefit. These have to be reserved online to be collected instore. To me this is a welcome addition to Argos and i just hope in time these products will be available in-store. I reserved the Stila smudge pot in cobalt and a a Benefit eyeshadow in blushing bride.

I also wanna tag on a couple of orders i received through the mail from Eyeko

I've have been hearing alot about these products so i thought i'd give them a go. I have to say i entered a ambassador code which as this was my first purchase i should have received a free gift but i didn't so i've sent an email to Eyeko to see what they can do. Anyway on with what i did get i chose the Big Eyes Mascara which is lengthening...

..Eyeko cream which is a cute light pink 3in1 cream(highlighter/moisturiser/eyecream) with a slight shimmer to brighten your skin.... 

and Eyeko tinted cream which does everything the original cream does but it's a bronzer rather than a highlighter.

Also last but not least i found a really cool cheap website http://www.halfpriceperfumes.co.uk/ that had the Bourjois liner effect mascara in blue for £1.00 and when you bought that and entered a code you got a free ombre stretch eyeshadow which is worth £6.49.

Then they also had Rimmel single eyeshaows for £1 each too :) i love these they are so cheap and the colors are really bright and highly pigmented.

Thanks for reading this huge haul post and i realise i haven't written about anything other than hauls but i've been writing something for the blog and it's just taking me a while due to other things going on in my life. Any way thanks for reading my blog :D

Love Jo x x x
