Pre-Wedding Haul at Wilkinsons & New Look | Rimmel, L'oreal Paris, Revlon, New Look

(New Look Clutch and Wilkinsons hair clasps)
 I had a wedding to attend on Friday last week and I did a little run around my local shops to get a few last minute items like cards and toiletries. However, as per usual, I became a little distracted and found a few bargains...
Firstly, I needed a clutch for the wedding. I know, a girl without a stash of clutches already? Luckily I have a new look just around the corner from me, so with my student card ready I picked up this simple black clutch for around £8 with a 10% student discount. It's roomy and will suit most outfits.
I bought some toiletries from Wilkinsons, but I wanted to mention the hair grips, as they are great for pinning hair when you're straightening sections. At a £1 for 4 clips they are super affordable and really useful to have around.
Wilkinsons also had 3 for 2 across all cosmetics, which is where I found a few Rimmel products I wanted to try and Boots had 2 for £10 on Revlon, so I just had to buy some of the new moisture stains that I had swatched in a previous post...
L'oreal Color Riche Eyeshadows £5.49 at Boots
Quartz Fume and Gold Mania 
 Everyone seems to be raving about these eyeshadows and now I know why! These are incredible pigmented and look even more so when wet. I picked up two shades and wore them to the wedding. They lasted all evening!

These Rimmel eyeshadow sticks are super creamy and actually look better without a primer. I wore these the evening before the wedding and these also last for hours. I'm slowly falling in love with eye crayons as I find them easier to apply and blend. Would definitely recommend giving these a try!

 Rimmel eyeliner in Nude is a staple eye pencil to use as a inner corner or waterline eye brightener.

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stains in 015 Barcelona Nights and 005 Parisian Passion
2 for £10 at Boots
 I've worn the Revlon moisture stain in Barcelona nights and weirdly found the consistency a bit sticky, but I think these are best applied on dry lips, and I think I was wearing a lip balm underneath, so that's something to bear in mind. However, these lip stains are great for a medium gloss and good staying power, as the colour remains once the gloss is gone.

I love Rimmel eyeliners, especially the thin liquid eyeliner pen in the Scandaleyes range. I wanted to find a thicker nibbed pen for when I attempt a bolder eye look, so I found this: the Scandaleyes Thick and Thin liner in Black. Closer up you can see that it's slightly angled so that you can reposition the pen to either draw a thin or thick line. I'm hoping, like the Benefit gel liner, that this angle will also help me draw cat flicks - we'll see!
