Little beauty Haul - Revlon & MUA♥

Today, I have a small haul to share with you. This morning I went shopping for a few things, purposely avoiding going in to either Boots or Superdrug. However I really needed a bottle of water and guess what...the nearest shop that sold water was Superdrug, so of course I would have to buy a few bits. There was a lot more that I could have bought, but I resisted my temptations and just got a couple of things. Funny thing is, I'm suppose to be on spending ban until my birthday!

The first thing that I bought, I actually needed as I had run out of the "Witch Blemish Stick." If you have read my blog before, you probably know that this product is my holy grail. I picked up another one which cost £1.92, at the beginning of the week I asked my Mum to get me one, but she accidentally got the Boots version. But, I'm looking forward to seeing which one I prefer best.

Before this, I had never bought a lipstick from MUA, but had heard lots of good reviews, so I picked up two. At only £1, you can't go wrong! I chose peachy keen, which is a lovely peachy coral shade and shade 13 which is a bright ferrari red.  I haven't yet tried these but from swatching I can tell that they have good pigmentation and glide on well.

After reading a review from Beth at Beautyinbeta, I added this product to my ever expanding wish list. I have been looking for a decent setting spray for a while now, as I have oily skin and my face tends to get shiny during the day. Hopefully this will pro-long the wear of my foundation. This product cost me £5.

Finally I got one of the new Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in the shade 205 Elusive. This shade is "your lip colour but better" with a hint of pinky purple. I have a feeling this is going to become one of my new favorites. It normally retails at £7.99, but as it is new, Superdrug lowered the price to only £5.99.

Sudocrem Skincare Cream Review* ♥

Today I will be reviewing the Sudocrem Skin Care Cream*. If you have read my My favorite spot treatments post you will know that I absolutely love Sudocrem: Especially for acne. So when I was asked if I wanted to review this product, I jumped at the chance! Before I had just been using the normal Sudocrem which comes in a pot, but for the last week I have been trying out this one.

At first I didn't even know that they did another cream*: but after checking out their website I realized they offer lots of different products. In the description it states:

"Sudocrem Skin Care Cream* works wonders on spot-prone skin and is aimed at helping to maintain beautiful healthy skin as part of your daily skin care routine. It is the ultimate beauty essential and fits perfectly into your handbag at home or travel case for trips away."

I can firstly agree that it fits perfectly into your handbag, I love this packaging and find it much easier to use than the traditional pot. The size is also great as it is not too big and a little goes a long way, I reckon this will last me all year! Now lets move on to the product itself:

I have been using this product as a usual spot cream, putting a bit on to my blemishes before I go to bed. I can say that this does visibly reduce the redness of my blemishes and is perfect for leaving on over night. After using it for one week, my skin is looking clearer, not drastically but still noticeable.

Also, I was very surprised at the price, which is a mere £1.99 for 30g. I thought that it would be more than that, especially since celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Lauren Pope and Diana Vickers recommend it saying that "really works" and "It makes a great overnight face mask."

I wouldn't say that this product is particularly innovative as I find that the formula and what it offers is exactly the same as the traditional cream. I even checked the ingredients and they are identical. However if you do not already own Sudocrem or just fancy the squeezy tube, I would highly recommend this, especially if you have spot-prone skin! Overall, I believe that this is a great product for clearing skin and reducing the redness of blemishes and an absolute bargain!

                                                                         Have you tried any of Sudocrems' other products?
