Little Haul: Tesco 26/11/09

I had no real reason for mooching around Tesco on the way home from work tonight. I didn't fancy any chocolate but I did buy my Euromillions Lotto ticket for tomorrow. I always have to investigate the make up aisle, just to see what's going on. For those outside the UK, Tesco sells most of the "usual" drugstore brands. Mine sells L'Oreal, Max Factor, Barbara Daly, Rimmel, Maybelline, and Collection 2000. Nothing too inspiring but good if I fancy a new mascara or lip gloss.

Beauty stuff is on 3 for 2 right now so I bought a few little bits.


-Maybelline Volum' Express Lift-Up Mascara "Black"
-Collection 2000 Hot Looks Fast Dry Polish "Hoola Hoop"
-Tesco Vitamin E Cleansing Wipes

I'm not sure exactly why I bought another mascara! I've got a lot that I haven't opened and I need to finish the reviews of the ones I have opened, plus I want to review them on YouTube. I think I'm trying to replace my beloved L'Oreal mascara. The nail polish is the perfect base for a manicure I thought about today.

The Cleansing wipes I don't have high hopes for. They cost £0.26. Yes, 26 pence. Not on sale, that's really how much they were. I noticed a small range of products in the same line, all for less than £1. I did consider buying the lot to test but one sniff of the foaming cleanser had me going "omg, chemical soap!". So, I don't have high hopes for the wipes. I suspect I'll only end up using them for cleaning my arm after swatching. For 26p it really doesn't matter.

  1. i bought the wipes before and they turnt my skin into a huge breakout!! so bad they caused tiny blisters on my cheeks forehead and chin!! it was horrible.
    I do have sensitive skin but not overly sensitive so i was quiet shocked by the severe reaction. But then as you said what can you expect for .26p lol.
    Loving the rest of your blog and all your reviews.

    Would be really interested to see what you think of the wipes

  3. I didn't think the wipes would be too good either but they're bloody great.

    I need to buy some more and this 3 for 2 only sweetens the deal..

  4. The wipes are actually surprising really good. I always pick up a few packs whenever Im in Tesco. They are wet enough to do a good enough job, plus I only use them to get the majority of my make up off before I use wash with an exfoliating sponge. Let me know what you think of them.

  5. I have that polish, and love it and as for the wipes, I use those, they are actually pretty impressive for the price, I just use them with my cleanser to remove my eye make-up (more gentle with the cleanser!) and I use them on my face, they are fine and a bargain!
