Mini Boots 3 For 2 Haul

A few of you have been commenting on my giveaway saying that you like seeing hauls. I don't really 'do' many hauls because quite frankly, I'm a skint student. But I would rather spend my money on a lipstick and not eat for a week. So a last week I did do a little haul in Boots as I needed a new concealer so I did end up taking advantage of their current 3 for 2 across all make up offer.
I was so excited when I found out that Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation was coming across the pond to us. It sounds amazing and I just love the packaging so when I saw it in stock, I picked it up. Choosing my shade was very easy and I didn't even swatch it on my skin as I trusted the diagrams that were surrounding the foundation. I have the colour 125 which is a pale colour for those with pink undertones. I've really been enjoying using this and I think it provides a decent amount of coverage (medium), lasts a long time on the skin (with a primer) and like I said earlier, the packaging makes it seem more high end. I then noticed the 17 Blow Out Mascara in Blackest Black and I knew I had to have it. It's not secret that I'm a 17 make up fan and the packaging of this mascara really screamed out to me. It's very bright and in your face and it promises to volumise your lashes. I wasn't expecting that much from it to be honest as the packaging (although amazing) is a little tacky but I really like this. I think it's easy to build up coats without clumping the lashes. It also lengthens them significantly as well. And finally, I picked up another Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I now have this concealer in every available colour just in case I apply fake tan or in case I don't. This is my favourite concealer as it provides incredible, full coverage and also lasts throughout the day.
