Highstreet Beauty Haul All of this for under £20


Yes, You did read right. Everything in that top picture I bought it all for £16.
So what have I found and where?
(Close ups can be found at the bottom of the page)
 
Top Left is a 2pack of Kohl Black Eyeliner Pencils from Primark for Only a £1, plus you get a sharpener. 

Also from Primark is the Volume Boost Black mascara only a £1 too.. I love this mascara it's very thick but not clumpy and leaves me with thick full lashes.

Pink Tease Clear Top Coat Nail Varnish £1, this was more of a tester buy. I wanted to buy a cheap clear top coat to test how well top coat's work on maintaining my look before I bought higher quality. So far other than keeping my Christmas reindeer stickers on, it has not really won me over.

Below that is a dark pink Exaggerate Lip Liner by Rimmel London, for only a £1 in the pound shops it was a rather really good find.

I was after a Lip Liner to replace my shortened previous one, but unable to find a full priced brand one to the colour I wanted. I thought I would give this a try even though much lighter than the colour I was after. So far so good! £1

Below that is another mascara, these come in gold and red casing, the casing has a cold metal feel which is very good for the liquid inside as it is less likely to react to change in temperatures as easily as plastic. They are volume boosting, but I find it gives more of a separated long lash look. £1 by technic.

Right to the Top Coat is a Rimmel Lipstick in 630 Rouge, this was a little too pink than I actually realised in the shop but hey for a £1 who's complaining?

Above is 3 Nail Polishes from the brand 'Jess' I had never heard of this company before but as a £1 each in a pound shop and me having to paint my nails so frequently. I could not resist.
First is a 'happy' Purple as I call it the proper given name for it is 'Willow' but I like the colour, My favorite colour out of the three is the second deep red/burgundy with a shimmer tone too it. This one is called 'Chianti'. (I can not pronounce it)
Lastly is a 'sunset' colour as it was named Most lights I believe it has more of a black tinge than the original navy/ black but the navy can be seen occasionaly.

 Next across is Revlon Chroma Chameleon also a pound, This looks like a really rare beautiful colour of gold, green and blue but once painted on nails really the gold is the only one seen. (Major shame!)
Maybelline New York super strong stay for 7 days in Ceramic Blue, is neither ceramic blue nor 7day lasting. I only have a regular job in an office and daily house jobs nothing extraordinary but this nail polish only seems to last 3 days even with top coat over. Hey another pound product good for a matching day outfit though. 
Another Maybelline New York Forever Strong Nail Polish for a £1 this is in the colour '835 metal me Teal!' I adore this colour, it is a shimmer dark teal, so far no chips! but the the ends some how have my nail showing through already. (no my nail has not grown from that end!)

Beneath those helpful polishes is another lipstick from the brand Pink Tease. 
I love the packaging on this more than anything (mostly the main reason why I bought it but don't tell anyone.hehe) A little darker than the Rimmel one but still is pink and with funny ribbles on it so I believe it may have reacted to temperature change in shipping progress.

A rather pretty hair clip for a £1 just thought I would add it in.

To the left is a Rimmel Gel eyeliner, I have always wanted a black one of these but they are rather pricey, This aubergine miniture version was happily a £1 with a free brush attached to the lid, I happily bought to try out before I bought the bigger version. I am glad I did, many say they find it easier than liquid I do not so far, I can not seem to get the balance of what's enough or not on my brush. (guess takes practice)

Lastly I can not wait to use this once my everyday one has used up, Constance Carrol is a newly found brand to me. I only own a eyeshadow pallete from them but I love that eyeshadow pallete so hopefully I will love this Translucent Powder. (it comes with a free sponge if you use them, I don't but hey you might?) £1 from pound shops and online.
