Haulin' #1

Bonjour!
I've been buying bits and bobs here and there for a while, thinking I would put it all together for a big collective haul. I have since realised that would be waay too much for one post, so I will be separating it out!
Models Own Aqua violet Beetlejuice nail varnish
Revlon Lip Butters in Lollipop, Candy apple and Tutti fruitti
Models own nail art pens in yellow, blue and pink
I'd been checking out the Revlon lip butters for a while, after hearing all the hype on youtube/blogs. For summer, I still like to wear lip colour, but my usual lipsticks can feel a bit heavy, and make me feel like I look a bit too made up. After swatching the colours, I decided that I wanted to try Candy apple, a lovely red, Lollipop, a nice bright pink with cool blue/purple undertones, and Tutti frutti, a bold orange. Now all I had to do was wait for the day when my Boots would have them all in stock! This never happened, so in the end, I managed to nab the last Candy apple from Superdrug. I then got the other two shades, and the beautiful beetlejuice nail varnish in Boots with their 3 for 2 offer. 
At the Models Own section, I saw that they finally had some other colours of my beloved nail art pen, so I added them to my basket as well!

I haven't had much chance to try out the lip butters yet, but when I do, I'll make sure to do a review. This is the first time I've tried a Models Own nail varnish, and I'm not very impressed with the formula, although the colour is lovely.
I can't wait to try and create some really bright nail designs with my new colours, I may attempt something easter-y!

Anyone else bought anything in the Boots 3 for 2? I'm not sure how long it's on for, but it's still on now :)

  1. Tutti Fruitti looks like such a lovely colour, and I don't like the formula of Model's Own nail varnish that much either - they smell horrible! The glitter's are the only ones that I get on with! xx

  5. I really want to try the lip butters and the colour of the polish is gorgeous! 3 for 2s will be the death of my bank balance, even if you don't need anything as soon as you see the little 3 for 2 sign you just can't help yourself! :) xx

  9. Oh I'm so jealous you got some of the Lip Butters! I've looked everywhere for them but they'r always sold out :( I love the shades you picked though!
    And I agree with the MO nail varnish, the formula's quite runny so it takes a few coats for it.
    But I'd love to see what that shade looks like on your nails; I only have Purple/Blue from the Beetlejuice range :)

    Can't wait to see the rest of your mega-haul :P

  12. Please do let me know how they work! I'm a lipstick fanatic, but like you said, sometimes having lipstick caked on just feels a bit much, especially in the southern heat.
