USA Haul - continued...

Okay, so yesterday's blog didn't go as I thought. Turns out I can ramble on quite a bit about nothing really. I buy things simply cause I like them, and felt like I had to somewhat justify my decision making to which there is no justification. I'm a girl - it's pretty - I want it. Simple.

So here I go again, to ramble on about a few more products I bought whilst exploring the United States. 

Covergirl Clump Crusher by Lashblast - $6.99 approx £4.70

Mascara...every girls best friend. I think mascara is probably the one necessity item every girl must have. You could live without rose tinted lips or cheeks, or an uneven skin tone, but tiny little lashes that are bare naked is a no-no. I've always wanted to try a Covergirl mascara as you hear so much about them. From my experience so far, I would say Covergirl is very similar to Max factor. This particular mascara is a new edition to the range they have to stop clumping. Figured, why not. So far I like it, 7/10. Not my favourite, does the job though. My favourite mascara is Benefit - They're real. Found no serious competition to this one, perhaps that's my fault as to why I wasn't 100% impressed, set the bar pretty high. Saying that, I do really like Max Factor Falsr Lash effect mascara. Really close second to the benefit!!

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer Original - $23 approx £15.50

RRP in UK £21 (approx saving £5.50)

I used to have bareMinerals foundation, and I loved it, but I've run out. I wanted to buy some more when I was on holiday but thought considering I had spent quite a lot in MAC already, I could wait a little bit. This primer is amazing! Not oily, really nice and easy to use and I love the little pump bottle. Makes it really easy to use with little waste. Another primer I would like to try is Porefessional by Benefit but the Macy's I went to didn't have any. :(

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil (Shade 611 Yogurt and 605 Strawberry Milk) - $4.50 approx £3 RRP in UK £5 (approx saving £2)

I already own a few NYX Jumbo Eye pencils, I think they're fab. If youre going out but can't be bothered to spend ages to use eyeshadow, wipe one of these over your lid and you're good to go! Got a couple metallic colours in lighter shades, as I have green eyes, pinks look really nice too thus the Strawberry Milk. Looking forward to trying these two lovely shades out. I think they may make an interesting combo together as well!

EOS Lip Balm (Strawberry Sorbet, Honeydew Melon and Sweet Mint) - $2.99 approx £2

RRP in UK £3 (approx £1 saving)

Last but not least, some lip balm. Now, if you've never seen these iconic egg shaped lip balms before then I ask you to please get one. I love them! Firstly, they just look adorable. They all smell and taste amazing and the shape of them makes them so easy to apply to both your upper and lower lip at the same time. I obviously had to buy 3, because 1 wasn't enough. I want them all! I am an avid lip balm user, before getting these I used Burt Bees lip balm sticks, the original. I use it every day, so now I have a variety of flavors I can mix it up!

Overall, I'm very happy with all the purchases I made in the states however am now bummed out that I have to wait til payday for another treat again. I did spoil myself however so I can't complain!
