A Drugstore Trio

Whenever there's a 3 for 2 offer on makeup, you can be sure that I'll be there, weighing up my will against my wallet, before taking the plunge because "it's on 3 for 2, it would be rude not to."

I'm sure I'm not unique in this by any means, but a spendy sesh in the local supermarket resulted in some very happy purchases.

I was clearly on a bit of a bronze cream shadow kick on this particular spree, as I purchased not one but two very similar products  (I am honestly not sure as to why). I'm sure you've heard of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze - or Bad to the Bronze as I believe it's known stateside - and I'm here today to simply tell you it's great. At £4.99 you are getting a complete steal, great as a base and delicious on its own... C'est l'amour.

The second bronze and creamy purchase was the Max Factor Wild Shadow Pencil in 05. I was intrigued by its claim to be a 2 in 1 shadow and liner - more bang for your buck as they say. Shade-wise it is slightly darker and cooler than my Maybelline offering, and it's also slightly less sheeny. You definitely don't need both. As this is the more expensive of the two, I'd urge you to go for the Maybelline shade.

Last of all is a nail polish with a formula that was the most long lasting of this year (until I tried another... more on that soon!) and it's the Maybelline Super Stay 7 Day Gel Polish in Midnight Red. Erm. Wow. A formula that rocks, though perhaps not for the 7 days promised, and a gorgeous shade that dries super fast. Clinique Black Honey, eat your heart out. As KathleenLights would say, I highly recommend.

So that's it for my mini haul... are there any drugstore beauties that you feel I need? Let me know down below!
