Boots Haul!

So a few weeks ago I bought a fair few things from Boots after getting my Boots Advantage card and being persuaded by Clare a lot! I thought I would share what I bought and my initial reactions are to them are.

Boots Botanics Shine Away Inoic Clay Mask- I've used this a few times since buying it and I am pretty please to say that it is great! However, the one problem I had with it was that it was very very watery to start with.

Real Techniques Blush Brush- Ok so this is my first ever Real Techniques buy and I am so happy with it! It's a great brush plus it's sooo soft!
Maybelline Baby Skin- Once again I bought another product because of Clare- surprise, surprise! But I have to admit I really like it! It makes my skin feel really smooth, literally like baby skin!

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make Up Remover- I bought a travel sized version of this a while back but only properly started using it as of late. But I love it! It definitely helps and removes my make up from my eyes. I do need to use a few cotton pads though.

Maybelline Colour Show in Maybe Blue- I mainly bought this colour and brand due to the fact it went with what I was wearing for Darren's birthday meal. But the colour is beautiful and I wish I didn't have to have taken it of due to work!

Batiste Dry Shampoo- This wasn't a new buy or anything but I just need to restock on it as I was all out! As you can tell I bought the massive can!

Natural Collections Blush in Pink Cloud- I really only bought this as I was needing a quick blush fix. I've never really been one to use Blushers but thought it was about time to actually use them! I decided to start of with this as it was a really sweet and good colour for using day to day.

Nivea Lip Butter Raspberry Rose- OMG! I am in love with this! I bought this after Clare let me borrow hers as my lips were cracked and this is what she had! It smells and tastes amazing- literally like millions!

Let me know below if you have bought any of these products as well and what you've thought of them!

The blogger made me buy it tag

I seen this tag floating about a few places and decided just to write it up without being tagged as it seemed like a fun idea! I'm also not going to bother tagging anybody as I hope everybody who finds this interesting would write their own one as well.

1-Who are your most influential bloggers? Who are the ones that you really rely on for reviews and swatches?

I don’t generally rely on many bloggers but I normally end up buying stuff that my friend Clare or other blogger- Charlotte has reviewed/told me about. Since I normally see Clare like 3 times a week and we sometimes take trips to boots she can be very persuasive! Even in the last month I gave in and bought the boots botanics face mask, Nivea lip balm and Maybelline Baby Skin.

2-Do you buy a product solely as a result from one review from your favourite bloggers, or do you look for more reviews from others?

I do sometimes look up products before buying them, but a lot of my make up purchases are impulsive.

3-What is your most favourite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?

It has to be the Collections Long Lasting Concealor- I could not live without it!

4- What is your least favourite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?

hmm... I can’t actually think of anything...

5- Name 5 products you have bought recently as a result of blogs.

Ooops! I already did that but I’ll list five:

-Boots Botanics Face Mask

-Nivea Raspberry Rose Lip Balm

-Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

-Real Techniques Blush Brush

6- Have you ever given into blogger hype? If so, which hype?

I've already mentioned it but it has to have been the Collections Concealor.

7- Have you ever avoided blogger hype? If so, which hype?

Until recently, I had kind of avoided the Real Techniques hype. But to be honest, there are no hypes that I've seen that I've totally avoided. I've more been put off by the price tag of the products.

8-Is everything you buy based on blogger reviews or are there some items you buy without checking out a review?

I answered that in Q2 as well haha! But no majority of my buys are without checking reviews. This is sometimes just because I need like a new foundation and just want the cheapest one or if theres any deals like 3 for 2 or whatever. Also, because I’m an Avon Representative, I like to buy and test out some of the products from the first look books that stand out to me. I know they’re not as popular as some brands, but some of the products can be just as good!

Again, link me below if you have done this tag as well!
