Superdrug BeautyCard Evening and Haul (Picture Heavy)

Thought I would share my Superdrug Haul with you (my first Haul, eeeek). 

I picked it all up at the Superdrug BeautyCard evening, where I also snagged a couple of freebies. 

When I arrived I was offered Sparkling Rose Wine or Orange Juice, and given a little box of Guylian Chocolates for attending.

I later managed to spill a whole glass of wine down me, making me look like I had been indulging in one too many free glasses of fizz. 

In my defence I was juggling a handbag, a basket, a wine glass and trying to browse at the same time, 

all of this + my clumsiness = a few pity looks and a very wet scarf.

There were also demonstrations and even more freebies in store, including a St Tropez Demo and Free Nivea Christmas Stockings when you spent over £6 on Nivea in store. Unfortunately I wasn't buying any Nivea products that day, but the very lovely (and extremely cute) Veronika gave me some cheeky freebies anyway 

(my first blogger perk!).

I'm really glad I went, not only to pick up some freebies and mingle but also as I picked up this massive haul!

(Sorry about the fluffy carpet my cat Cookie rubbed against everything before I could take a pic, and then sulked off into the backround, can you spot her?)

Superdrug are offering 3 for 2 on all cosmetics at the moment so I could resist splurging, and if that wasn't enough, by completing the Superdrug Reciept Survey, I also snagged 25% off Superdrug's own brand, and 10% off all other products.

Total Cost:

£60.87

Total Saved:

£30.77 

(plus £10.04 gained in points)

Here's a little more in depth view at what I bought.

Superdrug Tea Tree Range:

- 2 x Tea Tree Moisturiser, £2.99 or 2 for £3.99

- Tea Tree Facial Scrub, £2.99

- Tea Tree Peel Off Mask, £0.89

- Tea Tree Mud Mask, £0.89

Last month I bought the Tea Tree Moisturiser to try, I didn't used to use a Moisturiser as most clogged my skin and broke me out. 

However this moisturiser has left my skin silky smooth and blemish free, I love it so much, I went through a whole bottle (30ml) in a month. 

I decided to pick up some more products from the range, I already have the cleanser, so bought the face masks and facial scrub. 

I really like peely face masks, whether this one will do anything, I don't know, but for 89p, you can't go far wrong. 

I plan to give a review on this range very soon as it has, so far, cleared my face dramatically.

MUA, Make Up Academy:

- Blusher, Shade 5, a highly pigmented Coral Pink with gold specks, £1

- Lipstick, Shade 13, my favourite and the perfect red, featured here and here, will be part of my giveaway coming soon, £1

- Lipstick, Shade  3, a bright pink, will also be part of my giveway, £1

- Eyeshadow, Pearl Shade 12, a beautiful duochrome brown, will be part of my giveway, seen here, £1

- Eyeshadow Pearl Shade 8, an intense blue, £1

- Nail Polish, Shade 22, a dark plum purple, will also be won by one of my lucky followers, £1

Most of the people I speak to have never tried MUA or have never noticed it, and no wonder! 

It was shoved at the back of the store in a dark corner. I was really upset to see one of my favourite brand's stall was very untidy, unstocked and products and testers smashed to pieces. 

I had to ask a sales assistant to see if they're were anymore eyeshadows in stock 

(I was determined to get Shade 12 for my giveway, it's worth it), and the MUA Pro line is not available in store. 

If I was head of the MUA range, I'd be a bit peeved as it's not given a chance next to the other products in store.

Woah, Rainbow or what? 

Sorry for the washed out picture, the colours were playing havoc with my camera.

Sleek:

- Sleek I-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Original, £6.49

- Sleek I-Divine Eyeshadow Palette Sunset, £6.49

- Sleek Pout Paints from Left to Right, £4.99 each,

  - 153, Cloud 9

  - 162, Milkshake

  - 155, Lava

  - 157, Pin Up

  - 159, Port

  - 163, Peek a Bloo

Like I said before Superdrug were offering 3 for 2 on all cosmetics so I picked up 2 I-Divine Palettes (and got a free Barry M Silver Foil Nail Effect Polish), I've already fallen in love with my I-Divine Storm Palette and wanted to add to my collection. I've had my eye on the Pout Paints for so long, but at £4.99 each they aren't cheap. However I got 6 for the price of 4, and 25% off all my Sleek purchases (Who knew Sleek were classed as Superdrug own brand?), so I really couldn't stop myself, what a bargain!

I tried to justify it to myself, saying that by buying the Pout Paints I now have an interchangable lipstick wardrobe and can create all the colours and shades I desire, 

I need never buy a lipstick again! 

Okay, so maybe that's a bit too far, but we'll see. 

Extras:

- Barry M Nail Effects in 319 Foil, £3.99, but I got it free with my 2 I-Divine Palettes.

- Clairol ColourSeal Gloss, for Radiant Reds, £0.99, just a little something I got to fight the battle against constantly fading red hair.

Spot the Cats.

Babyliss:

- Babyliss Thermo-Ceramic Rollers, £26.99

Not a necessity as I already have naturally curly hair, as seen here, but it can be frizzy and unmanageable, and I really wanted something that would help me recreat soft Pin-Up curls, hopefully this will do the trick!

Phew! I know that's alot, but I am pretty chuffed with what I bought, buyer's regret hasn't set in yet. I got either 25% or 10% off everything, gained £10 worth of points back and got 2 lipsticks, 2 Pout Paints and a Nail Polish free in the 3 for 2 offer. And these are my freebies I received just for attending.

Freebies:

- Guylian Chocolates

- Nivea Refreshingly Soft Moisturising Cream 8ml x 2

- Nivea For Men Sensitive Moisturiser 15ml x 2 (One for the Boyf)

- Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner 50ml

Not too shabby.

Sorry for such a long post, I hope it wasn't too dull.
