Saturday Beauty Steal #7

How nice has the weather been lately? Well, aside from that weird patch of rain we had the other day. But the sun being out has got me thinking about holiday beauty and I was really excited when I stumbled across the Rimmel Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow in Modern Glam. Especially as it is only 99p from Fragrance Direct. 

Yes, 99p!

What is it?

Rimmel Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow is a palette of three soft and blendable powder-based eyeshadows. Wear time is claimed to be up to 8 hours and an applicator is included. The palette is available in Modern Glam (above), Dark Angel (greys and purple), Golden Eyes (golds and azure blue) and Tempting (greens and sky blue).

What do I like about it?

I love the idea of mixing the top two shades for a daytime look and then amping it up in the evening with the darker, smokier blue. You can play around with all three together and create a lovely eye look on summer nights out or to show off your tan on holiday.

Why is it a steal?

You can't deny that 99p is a bargain for three eyeshadows from a reputable beauty brand. Not only that - the shades are so wearable. You could use this palette for just about every occasion and create several different looks. All that for cheaper than one product at the pound shop. Seriously impressive stuff from Fragrance Direct yet again.

Saturday Beauty Steal #2

It's the mother fricking weekend! This means one of two things - it's time to chill and catch up on the blogs, but it's also time for my second Saturday Beauty Steal, and this week's one is worth waiting for.

I've chosen the Nip + Fab Limited Edition Oily Skin Fix set, which is only £8.50 down from £15.95 on ASOS. That's a whopping 47% reduction for a high-quality range of products.

What's included in the set?

The three-part limited edition Oily Skin Fix set comes with Clean Fix Gel, Shine Fix and Spot Fix. Clean Fix Gel is a foaming gel cleanser infused with apple amino acids, Shine Fix is a mattifying gel that regulates and absorbs excess oil, and Spot Fix is a gel that targets blemishes and reduces their appearance.

What do I like about the set?

I might be a bit biased as I do have oily skin, but I have found gel cleansers to be really great at removing dirt and make-up residue, so the Clean Fix Gel sounds intriguing to me. With the Clean Fix Gel, I also love that it is made with apple amino acids, which is an essential, protective ingredient. What I like about the Shine Fix and Spot Fix is the product size - they are perfect handbag antidotes to skin imperfections and quick fixes in any case. From experience with gel products, you really don't need to use that much per application, which also gives you more for your money.

Why is it a steal?

Well first of all, it's almost 50% off its original price, and it's also a limited edition set for a skin type that many of us have. Secondly, Nip + Fab products such as the Shine Fix usually start retailing at £9.95 and can go up to £20+. That means you are getting three full-size products for less than one on its own as normal. Not to mention Nip + Fab really have great skin care products - what a steal!
