August Haul: KIKO, MAC & Boots

August was not meant to be a month of shopping, I'm trying to save but as usual a good deal and the opportunity to expand my makeup collection are both things which I cannot resist. While I was in Brighton I stumbled upon a KIKO store which I had no idea was there and couldn't miss out on picking some bits from the sale. And the other items I don't have an excuse for except I have wanted them for ages, especially that MAC lipstick there was no way I was missing out.
Starting off with KIKO, I picked up four Smart Lip Liners, currently on sale for £1.20. I don't own many lip liners and have been desperate to expand my collection, the quality of KIKO is incredible but at such an affordable price. I grabbed a range of shades 703 a neutral pink nude shade. 706 a bright right, and therefore essential colour. 710 a very deep berry shade, slightly more purple than red. 711 lighter mauve, brown toned nude but leaning more towards the pink shades.
Normally £6, I got the Clics Eyeshadow 24 Pan for free because I bought 6 of the pan eyeshadows. This is quite bulky but I guess holding 24 shadows, which are all reasonable sized (much bigger than MAC) you would expect it. Moving onto the shadows which I got I bought 4 Infinity Shadows £2.80 in the shades 236, 239, 243, 234 and 2 Infinity + Sparkle Shadows £2.80 in the shades 402, 406 there is such a range of shades I really didn't know where to start so I picked up a random selection which caught my eye and hope to build my collection more in the future.
MAC have released a new range of Matte Lipsticks, which includes Whirl £15.50. A lipstick version of the famous whirl lipliner. Being a huge fan of the brown toned nude I knew I had to get my hands on it, and couldn't be any more pleasantly surprised and impressed with this lipstick. It's everything I expected and more.
Boots was the last stop, and this was in fact on a completely different day, The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge £5.99 has been on my wishlist for the longest time and I've just never really got round to it. Maybelline Master Sculpt £6.99 again something that since it has been released I have wanted to pick this up and give it a go. I picked up the darker shade just because I prefer a strong contour and this shade looked more suited to me. L'Oreal SuperLiner Perfect Slim £6.99, I love the SuperLiner range and have completely run out of liner so this was a very essential repurchase.

I feel like this month I have been much more contained than usual, have you picked up any new makeup or beauty bits?
