Boots 17

I went to Superdrug to pick myself up a sleek palette today but they didn't have any in my local store. I think I'm going to have to try further afield, but whilst i was in town i took a trip to Boots.
Any offer or freebie is enough to get me grabbing my debit card sharpish, so when i saw this cute makeup bag with a mirror, emery board, lasting fix nail polish and a metallic eye pencil i grabbed two 17 items so i could qualify for the freebie.

I really needed a new mascara and didn't want to spend shed loads so i decided to try the ultimate length one. Id previously used a 17 mascara that i hurriedly picked up in Gatwick airport and i thought it was really good given the price, and yet again 17 hasn't disappointed. I applied 2 coats and it gave a lovely wide eyed effect that lasted all day without smudging. So boo to you Benefit haha.

I also got a shine on lipstick in candy (i think)and it left my lips feeling smooth and moisturised but i don't think the shade is for me so Ive given it to a friend.
The freebies are pretty cool too. The mirror is the perfect size for touch ups, and i can never have enough emery boards. I am yet to use the nail varnish but its a lovely orangy colour and the eye pencil is a bright turquoise. Love a freebie me lol, Lou x
