Teeny tiny haul and surpise product rave!

Hey everyone, would just like to say thankyou to anyone who has taken the time to comment my posts or subscribe, this blogging lark is so much fun!

So anyway, to the point of this post :)

If, like me, you are someone who wears lipstick alot, you've probably already experienced the delights of Lipcote, and just how amazing it is! If not, you're missing out! This stuff will keep any lipstick on your mouth for hours (and I mean hours!), whilst also making it kiss proof, rain proof, and food and drink proof! Amazing!

I wear this every single day that I wear lipstick, unless I'm wearing Ruby Woo, that stuff doesn't budge anyway!

So today I thought I would pop into boots and grab another Lipcote, as I'm rapidly reaching the end of mine, and I was shocked to see they've changed the packaging! I've been buying this little wonder for about a year, and in that time the packaging hasn't changed once. It's the same shape and size bottle, but the lid is now a smooth gold, instead of rough red texture. It actually looks a lot more swish now, it's surprising the difference these small changes make! This also has a 'new vanilla fragrance' to replace the usual scent of applying neat vodka to your lips! This still feels (and smells), a little bit like nail warnish when you apply it, but the scent doesn't linger for aslong, and when it's dried, it does have a very nice vanilla scent! Thumbs up from me.

Spanking new packaging!

On my way to the tills, I spotted some very cute retro packaged products on a random, lonesome stand. I am always drawn to cute, kitsch, retro packaging, and these were gorgeous! Coca cola have launched lip products! 

My lovely new lip products

They've brought out three balms, and three glosses, all in delicious coke flavours. I'm not sure if these are limited edition or not, but they certainly are lovely! One sniff, and you are hooked! This is the first lip gloss I have bought in about 6 years, I tend to hate glosses, but It's actually very nice, and not sticky at all.  It also has a nice feeling on the lips, It's not tingly in the way of a plumping gloss, but It definitely has a cooling sensation. The three flavour options are classic coke (a red), cherry coke (a pinky), and vanilla coke (a clear.) I was seriously tempted to buy all three, but seeing as I never wear lipglosses, it seemed excessive! The balms are £6 for 15ml, and the glosses are £7 for 10ml, and can be bought from the Boots website. These would make really cute christmas presents, or stocking fillers :)

Excuse the shoddy pics!

Last, but not least, I would like to rave about a product I received free the other day. I was buying the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Eye Fix Primer (amazing primer, best I've ever tried. Not cheap at £19 for 7.5ml, but you need the teeeniest amount so it lasts ages!), and the lovely sales assistant gave me a freebie. 

My new love!

She gave me the 2 in 1 cleanser, which is supposed to be a cleanser and toner. I'm always a bit dubious with 2 in 1 products, as I don't see how it can do both things as well as an individual product with one purpose, so I didn't think I'd use this much. Still, a freebie's a freebie!

One day when I got home late from work, and just wanted to collapse into my bed straight away, I decided I couldn't be bothered to use my Soap and Glory hot cloth cleanser, and found myself reaching for the EA 2 in 1 cleanser. I am so glad I did! Not only is it quick and simple, just rub into wet skin and rinse off, it removes all makeup (except eye), and leaves the skin feeling gorgeous! It lathers up really well, and smells lovely. It's not got the typical 8 hour skin protectant scent, It's alot fresher and cooler, although it still has a slightly 'mature' feel to it, it reminds me of my Gran! :)

I find myself reaching for this more often than my beloved collection of hot cloth cleansers, if I feel like I want more of an exfoliation, I just mix some face scrub with this cleanser and lather it up together. It seriously is a beautiful product! At £19 for 150ml, again It's not cheap, but I'll be buying it when my tester runs out. 

Thankyou for reading, hope everyone is well! :)
