I stopped into Boots on my way home last night to buy a refill for my make up compact. I was dismayed to find that Clinique are discontinuing the Superbalanced compact that I use. Why is it that when I find a foundation I really like, it gets discontinued? The lovely lady on the Clinique counter showed me the mineral powder that is replacing it, and put some on my face. However, because it’s powder it went everywhere! She could tell I wasn’t happy with it so she tried out the Even Better liquid foundation on me instead. She put some blush on my cheeks too so I could see a complete look, and the results are in the pictures above. I really enjoyed having my make up done. The Clinique lady used to be a make up artist at Yorkshire Television she said, and it turned out she knows someone from my old church. Small world.
Anyway, I was convinced to buy a bottle of the Even Better make up and also bought a tube of the moisturiser I use so that I would get the Bonus Time free gift. I needed a foundation brush too so once I’d paid for my Clinique things I was given a £5 voucher for No7 and Ruby & Mille (got to love Boots!). That meant I could get a No7 brush for just £6, and also received another voucher at the till (I think you get one when you spend £5 or something).
I’m not used to using a liquid foundation so we’ll see how I get on when my current compact is finishing.
On a related note: there was a sample of Lash Power mascara in the Bonus Time gift bag. It has a tiny little skinny wand (the kind I prefer) and coats the lashes really well, separating them as it goes. It is also waterproof. I’m pretty impressed with it. (Amber, are you listening to this?)
Does it lock in the curl, though, this is the key question? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know! I can't use eyelash curlers (don't know how!) so I don't have any.
