Barbara Daly makeup Brush set review

This brush set is normally on sale in Tesco for £14, but today I saw these at £.367. I picked up a brush set and two extra eye shadow brushes; at £1.05 each (I figured how wrong I could go at that price?).

In the set you get 5 brushes, blusher brush, which is a nice size and ever so soft. I would prefer it if it was a bit denser, because you could then use it as a powder brush. The next brush is a Foundation brush; I don’t like the feel of this brush. It is a nice size, but the bristles don’t feel nice at all. You also get a small Lip brush in the set, which is good to have. I love the Eye shadow brush. It is a flat looking brush so can be used to pack colour on to the lids. But at the same time it seems fluffy enough to blend with.  You also get a two headed brow brush/comb. I rarely use these and would have preferred another brush, maybe a small contour brush?

Either way, I am happy with this brush set, and if you’re lucky and near a Tesco’s I would definitely go in a pick up this set. Considering you could pick up an eye shadow brush, alone, for the same price I paid for the whole set.

It’s a bargain… 

Happy Shopping…

Boots Bargain Shopping

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to share a quick bargain I found with you guys, so you can also benefit.

A couple of days ago, while in my local boots, I found loads of clearance makeup from the Seventeen range.

Now, I have not used this brand before, but at 50p a nail varnish and £1 a lipstick, I didn’t think I could go wrong. I was right, with these two products, I didn’t go wrong. 

However I also picked up a foundation. I picked the shade “Honey” which looked like a perfect dupe for my body shop 305 foundation. It’s has a matt finish which is great and it looked nice on. My mum, my biggest critic, also complemented it, which is proof enough for me that it looked good.

Only issue is the next morning, my face was so extremely dry and flaky. So if you have oily skin, then this is perfect for you, stay away from it if you have dry or combination skin.

Saying that, the lipsticks are great. I picked up so many items for a total of £16 pounds, but at the same time I got 400 points on my boots card which amount to £4. So, really I only spent £12.

Happy Days!

This isn't even everything. 

A few of the colours 

Statement Necklace Craze

Hi All,

How are you guys going? I hope 2013 was good to you, hopefully 2014 will be better.

I hoping to blog a lot more this year, but I work all day in front of a PC and hate the thought of sitting in front of one in the evening – hope you understand.  But I am planning on getting back in to the swing of things. 

Firstly this year I would like to share a few statement necklaces I have purchased in the sales over the holidays. I don’t normally buy neck jewellery because I wear a Hijab and my neck in never on show. But that is the fantastic thing about these necklaces; they are long and big enough to wear under or even on top of you Hijab. I posted a few of these on my Instagram page, BobaleenaA – feel free to follow me – be aware that if you request to follow me but have zero posts of your own – you will not be accepted.

Anyway, let’s start; the first one I brought was one I had my eye on for a while. It’s from New Look, and I picked it up for £6. It is a very Asian style necklace.

The second one, is also from New look. I brought these two at the same time – I just didn’t have the heart to put it down – it was also £6. Isn’t it just lovely?

The Third one is a smaller one I Picked up from Primark. I like the black and gold chain, this one was a complete bargain at £2. I know £2; I would have been a crime not to buy this one.

The forth one is from Mark & Spencer, I wouldn’t normally have picked this one as it is a smaller version of the one above but it was brought for me and I will wear it, so I’ve added it in.

I have saved the best one till last – I loved it as soon as I set my eyes on it.  I picked this one up for £8 from River Island. I saw it in my local shop but it had stones missing, so I went out of town to pick this up – so glad I managed to get it. It reminds me of the Indian Maharaja Style jewellery.  I love all of these buys, but this one is defiantly my favourite one.

Which one is your favourite?

For someone that doesn’t normally buy necklaces, buying 5 (4 plus one gift) in the last two weeks is just crazy. I normally just wear bracelets but can now see myself wearing necklaces too – happy days.

Well, that is all for now, Hopefully my next post will be based on French Connections make up palette and Brushes that I picked up, so watch out for that.

Also, just to fill you in about my eyebrow growing issue from my last post, I had to get them done sooner than planned.  I will start the test again at the end of the month. I need neat eyebrows for a few weeks - after that I will let them just grow wild.

Anyway, we shall meet again on my next post…
