Buy, Try, Decide- Superdrug

So today on The Lipstick Insider I'm going to be starting a new series which is Buy, Try, Decide which is where I buy something I've never tried before, try it out and then decide whether I like it or not. The first place I'm trying out is Superdrug. If you have any suggestions on what other things I could buy, try and decide, let me know in the comments.

Firstly we have this Studio London Beauty Tool Set which was £4.99 however I think it was in the January sale as I'm writing this in advance. This set contains-

-A black satin pouch

-Water drop shaped sponge

-Powder brush

-Blusher brush

-Eyeshadow brush

-Blending brush

-Lip brush

-Eyebrow brush and comb

-2x Nail files

My first thought was that these brushes look like Real Techniques brushes so I'm guessing they're a dupe (I've never tried them but I really want to) for them so this is a cheaper option. They're really soft which I love. You get all the brushes you need for an everyday face and you get a pouch so you can carry these around in your bag for any top ups of if you're going on holiday. I'm glad there's a beauty blender dupe as everyone raves about it and I've wanted to try it but it's expensive. The only downfall is that the brushes are a bit hard to grip because of the slippy material.

I then got the Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick in Paper Rose 16. This is such a gorgeous colour and a wearable one so it's the perfect lipstick to keep in your bag. I also love how it's not drying on the lips which I didn't expect for a £2.99 lipstick. I know it's only £2.99 but I would've liked better packaging as it's a bit plain and boring. However it's great for the price as it's pigmented, not drying and doesn't budge when eating which for me who loves food is important, very important.

I then decided to pick up another Collection mascara as I haven't actually tried this one which is the Collection Lengthening Mascara Length & Definition which was £3.99. I was really excited to use it this and when I put it on I was disappointed because it wasn't volumizing so I didn't get any definition so only get this if you want length. It does have good length so I think this will be my mascara for school and no makeup makeup days. I don't know about you but I feel like the packaging looks like Maybelline like in the shape wise which I hadn't realized before. Another problem I have about this mascara is that there is does fall off without rubbing your eyes which is really annoying so I carry this round with makeup wipes to take off and reapply. 

I then got this Miss Sporty Clubbing Colour Less Than 1 Minute Quick Dry in Lilac after I saw velvetgh0st/Gabriella and LucyAndLydia  do sponsored videos on and I thought I would try it out not really expecting anything special. This is a good colour and I don't have any lilac colours like this and as you might know pastels are my favourite colours. You need 3 coats for this to be fully opaque which I was expecting as this was only £1.99. This could've had a more inventive name as lilac is quite a boring name as I prefer cute names but I have noticed cheap polishes have less cute names. Lastly the bottle could be cuter as I love my cute stuff but I understand that's there's not a lot of money to make cute bottles but I'll live.

The two packs of wipes I have are Quickies 12 Allergen Free 4 in 1 Facial Wipes £1.99 and Carex Complete Fun Edition Strawberry Laces Wipes £1.50. The Quickies ones are a good pack to have in your bag as they remove makeup makeup, cleanses, tones and moisturises. I just want to add here that these are both from the travel sized stuff at Superdrug. The Carex ones smell amazing, good enough to eat and these are also a good pack to havein your bag as they smell nice, flat and are soft cleansing.

Finally I have the Zoella Beauty Foam Sweet Foam Cleansing Shower Gel which was £3.50 which is quite expensive for a shower gel but I'm happy to repurchase. This smells amazing and it's the same scent as the tutti frutti collection which I love. The packaging is gorgeous and I like how it's see-through so you know when to repurchase it. This is really cleansing which is good as the name suggests and finally this works well with the Zoella body scrub.

I really hope you enjoyed this and remember to let me know if you enjoyed this and also let me know what other things I can buy, try and decide! Follow me on Twitter and Instagram for updates and my username on both is @_louisecarter_. I also hope you liked this bonus extra post and I have another haul on Sunday as part of haul week which I have now called this week.

Thanks for reading
