Beautiful Bargains: Dainty Doll Blusher

Dainty Doll is a brand that I have been wanting to try for a long time, so I was very excited when I found a whole selection of Dainty Doll cosmetics at bargain prices, on a stall in the Metrocentre, during last month's Newcastle trip. I instantly fell in love with the blushers!

Dainty Doll is Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud's cosmetic brand, aimed at pale-skinned beauties. I've never been a fan on Girls Aloud, but I love how Nicola has become a style and beauty icon, ditching the fake tan and embracing the pale! She always looks beautiful.

I picked up 2 products, 2 Dainty Doll powder blushers.


I chose 002 My Girl and 004 You Are My Sunshine.
My Girl is a lovely light pink shade with a subtle shimmer, whilst You Are My Sunshine is a gorgeous shimmery summer coral.

How much did they cost? Well, I picked these up for the bargain price of just £2.99 each! They retail at £13.50!

I first picked up just My Girl, but returned to the stall after trying You Are My Sunshine in Boots and seeing how gorgeous it was! The fact that it was £13.50 in Boots and £2.99 on the stall also made me NEED to go buy it from the stall.

I'm not 100% sure whether these are real or not...
There are a few things that made me question it, the main being how cheap they are being sold for!
One box was slightly larger than the other, 1 says 'Powder Blusher', 1 says just 'Blusher',  1 says Made in UK (with a sticker saying Packed in China), 1 says Made in China.

Regardless, the blushers are absolutely amazing! Application is great, they last ages and have a gorgeous finish. The blushers have a built in mirror, which is always handy.
The blush even contains vitamins A, C and E.


Fragrance Direct are currently selling Dainty Doll cosmetics, including these blushers, at an even more bargainous price of £1.99 each!!

I would definitely like to try more Dainty Doll products :)

Have you tried Dainty Doll?
Any recommendations?

Late Night Hauling :)

Hey All :)

Almost straight from work tonight my sister and I headed to Telford for some late night shopping. I didn't plan on getting anything, I was just going for 'something to do'.

BUT...as always, I saw a few things!



Tops: £2 each(!), Republic
Yes, you read that correct...these were just £2 each! Win. I don't know how I will wear the bandeau tops, but I've always liked these ones! I'm sure I will find a top to wear them under.
The original prices were (from top to bottom):
£16.99/£10
£7.99
£7.99
Bargains!



White patent loafers: £3, Primark :)
Originally priced at £10, then down to £6.

Buy 2 '17' products and get a free Femme Noir kit at Boots! Win.

So I didn't actually want anything from the 17 range, but I wanted the freebie, so I just picked up 2 random products!

Lip Liner 'Valentine' £2.59

 
Wild Metallics Eye Cream 'Wild Silver' £3.99

Now for the freebie :)

What's inside the box??



Glitter Eyeshadow 'Night Sky'

Hope you all had a good evening :)

I must go to bed soon, as I have to be up at 5:30am to get ready for my 2 and a half hour drive up to Barnsley for work :-( Urgh.
