Superdrugs Mini Haul

Hiya!

Recently I went to my local Superdrug's to look for the new Kylie Jenner SinfulShine collection and luckily they stocked it!
I wanted to purchase all 8 colours but I couldn't justify buying them all at full price so I thought I'd just wait for a deal to come on before purchasing them but I did manage to get 2 shades and the top coat. 
Kryptonite
When I first saw this on the display I feel instantly in love with it! This gorgeous teal colour made me want this collection and it didn't disappoint! No words can describe how beautiful this shade is and Kylie Jenner did an amazing job of using this shade to promote this collection. 
Kommando
This pretty nude colour is so cute and not as sparkly as I thought it'd be. Its so subtle but the sparkles make it very elegant; its an amazing everyday colour. I found that the formula for this shade was harder to paint on as it was thicker than Kryptonite.

I haven't used the topcoat yet as it seems as if its just a regular topcoat; it didn't say whether it's needed or not. I used the polishes on its own and it still gave an amazing shine after just 2 coats and the colour came out beautifully. I do hate the brush as its so small but that means that its perfect for nail art.
I am definitely going to purchase more of these polishes as I love how beautiful the shades come out.

As I was about to go and pay I spotted that Barry M had made 2 Superdrug exclusive nail paints. I managed to get both shades.
Carnival Couture
This shade reminds me of Tiki Hut from the coconut fusion range. The colour is darker than shown on the bottle but it's such a nice shade of brown.
Festival Fever
I LOVE THIS! It's bright and vibrant. This shade reminds me so much of Superdrug! 

I have always been a Barry M fan as the brushes are thick and makes painting so easy. I love the tops of these polishes as its a shiny silver lid; the lid is textured and gives it more grip. 
I am now on the hunt for the Barry M Boots exclusive polishes although I am disappointed that they didn't pick a blue shade to match the Boots logo. 

What new polishes do you love?

 i-Divine Bad Girl Palette 596
Top: Innocence, Gullible, Blade, Gun Metal, Underground, Noir,
Bottom: Intoxicated, Envy, Obnoxious, Abyss, Twilight, Rebel
This palette contains a lot of dark colours which is perfect for a smoky eye effect. There is more matt shadows in here compared to the i-Divine Original Palette 594.

Highlighting Palette Precious Metals 029
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So pigmented and light! As soon as I swatched this I wanted to put it on my face! It's shimmery and you don't even need a lot.

Blush By 3 Palette Californ.I.A 370
These are very creamy and pigmented. It doesn't feel sticky and it contains natural colours. 

Lip 4 Lipstick Palette Mardi Gras 861
I really don't know how I feel about this product as I'm not a fan of lip palettes but there are some amazing lipsticks in this set. I found the lipsticks on the left really hard to swatch and it was not sticking properly or evenly but I loved the ones on the right because they was easy to put on and not sticky at all. I know that you can mix the colours around to make your own unique colours so I'd love to play more with this palette.

Control Shine & Prime Natural 018
I was so disappointed! I can't really say much about this product because there was hardly anything inside the tube; I did manage to get a small blob. It feels very light and dry. It's perfect for me because I have oily skin.

Full Fat Lash Mascara Blackest Black 421
The design of this mascara is very similar to the Lethal Length Mascara 422 except for the wand. The wand used in this mascara is a little harder to use especially on my bottom lashes as its so big. Ideally I would use this for my top lashes and the Lethal Length Mascara for my bottom lash. 

Eyebrow Stylist Medium 717
I love this item!! I've stopped using all of my other eyebrow kits because this is so much easier. I love the slanted pencil, its shaped as a triangle to you get more control of how thick you want your brows to be.

i-Divine Original Palette 594|| Eye & Cheek Palette-Dancing Til Dusk 027 || Blush-Flamingo 937 || Brow Kit-Dark 818 || Gloss Me - Fools Gold 442|| Lethal Length Mascara 422

i-Divine Original Palette 594
Top: Black Cab, Royal, London Rain, The Thames, E10, Hyde Park,
Bottom: Cream Tea, London Eye, Big Ben, Penny Farthing, Sterling, Banksy
All I can say is WOW! They're very pigmented and shimmery (except for Black Cab which is Matt). Z loved it! He kept asking me to make a rainbow on his arm. He couldn't stop smiling and that's how I felt with these shades because they're just so fun. 

Eye & Cheek Palette - Dancing Til Dusk 027
This palette is prefect for any handbag. It contains natural colours which you could use everyday and it opens with ease making it perfect for on the go.

Brow Kit - Dark 818
I didn't test this brow kit as I don't normally use dark shades but my sister has been keeping her eyes wide open for this so I might have to give it to her if she asks nicely..

Blush - Flamingo 937
This is such a pretty pink. Its very pigmented like their eyeshadows.

 Lethal Length Mascara - Blackest Black 422
I love the design of this wand because one side is longer than the other. The short side is perfect for using on my bottom lashes and the longer end for the top lashes.

Gloss Me - Fools Gold 442
I have to admit that I am not pleased with this product, its very sticky and feels heavy. The colour didn't show up as much and just look like a clear shimmer.
