Birthday Haul + Swatches

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me!!

15th February - Yours trully turned 18 :)

I got mostly money from my parents, cause it's easier for me to buy something myself that I know I'd like, so the other day I dragged my poor mum into Boots and picked up a few things, mostly basics that I'd use everyday.

So, bring on the pictures and swatches!!

No7 Stay Perfect trio in Romantic

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer - Fair

Natural Collection Blush - Peach Melba

Natural Collection Powder - Translucent

Max Factor samples of Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation

So, that's what I bought.. I'm really interested to see how well the Pearl Drops whitening polish and Listerine ice whitening mouthwash works - does anyone else have any whitening products they use and recommend?

and I'm really trying to get a bit of OMPFF into my hair, hence the volumising shampoo from Herbal Essences :) Again - any tips on volumising?

and FINALLY here are some swatches :)

swatches from the Romantic trio, with the lightest colour above and below the other two, trying to get a decent swatch! The colours are lovely, they go on so smoothly and are pretty creamy feeling. And the brush is hilarious! How is anyone supposed to use that?!

The most gorgeous blush in the world (atm, in my opinion). The swatch on the bottom is the blush applied with a brush. It gives a much warmer flush of colour than when applied with my hands.

Blush on the left, eyeshadow on the right

Ooh, who's that stunner? ;)
Haha, my arm is covered in swatches now!

Photo below is my eye make-up for the day :)

So, haul and swatches over! You can watch the video posted on my YT when I stick the link up!
