After being poorly and missing out on the Barry M night at Superdrug two weeks ago, I was keen to get in store and spend my Superdrug voucher (thanks guys!) – namely on gorgeous things I had spotted during the spring/summer press show. Nothing quite beats a spot of guilt-free shopping, after all.
So, it was in pouring rain that I trudged my way to Superdrug at Westfield, London, to have a little look…
I love this particular store as it is HUGE – especially the make-up area. There’s a central island entirely devoted to Barry M and a candy-shop layout of all the other brands, just screaming, ‘Come buy me!’
On my mind was the fabulous GOSH make-up range. At the press show I got chatting to the lady on this stand and she demonstrated the gorgeous Velvet Touch waterproof eye liner pencils that come in the most fantastic colours – including electric blue, a colour I’m keen to wear this season whether it’s fashionable or not.

Working like a normal eye pencil, you can blend this on initial application, but then it dries in a fabulously bright waterproof way and really doesn’t come off. I know this because I tried it on my hand and it survived for most of the day – even after doing washing up! At £5, they’re a welcome and not bank-breaking addition to the make-up bag, especially when you know that they really do deliver what they promise.
Another great product from GOSH that I got to try out from the press show is GOSH Velvet Touch Foundation Primer, £13. This really does create a silky smooth surface on which to apply foundation – it’s fast becoming a staple product in my morning routine and I’d highly recommend it – although thorough cleansing at the end of the day is needed as it does rather coat the face.

Nail polish wise I’ve been hankering after some British racing green – don’t ask me why! I just reckon it’d look good against my beige spring coat and tan leather satchel bag…
Anyway, I was keen to see if Barry M or GOSH offered this colour. Neither did that I could see, but then a trip the Bloom concession found what looked like the most wonderful shade of shimmering British racing green.

Rather excitedly, I popped it in my basket.
Gutted was I when I got home though and it came out more of a turquoise – a later check on Bloom’s website confirmed it is listed as a myrtle green – rather than British racing green.
It is a lovely shade and lasted 2 days without chipping, but I already have a similar shade…
And this means that my quest for British racing green nail polish continues – any ideas where I can get one peeps?
