Another haul... naughty

 

Bourjois  Magic Nail Polish Remover

There has been so many rave reviews on this that when I saw it in Boots I finally caved! To be honest I'm sort of on the fence with it - It it quick to use although removing red nail polish was a complete fail and I ended up with pink fingers!

 

Aveeno Moistuising Creamy Oil (full review)

This is my second bottle of this bad boy, its very moisturising but not greasy in the slightest. It has a runny consistency so it glides over your skin and doesn't require any rubbing in which is nice.

 

Hydraluron Moisture Booster (full review)

 This is also another repurchase! I wont bore you too much as I have written a full review but to summarise I love this stuff and I cant recommend it enough. Amazing product.

 

Estee Lauder Disappear Concealer

I bloody love a concealer me. I hate my dark under eye circles and I havent found that perfect under eye concealer yet so if i ever walk by a counter then there is sure to be trouble! This is one of the more expensive concealers that I have tried but so far so good! I think I prefer liquid concealers for under my eyes and this one is just the right consistency. It blurs my dark circles but isn't dry and cakey which I like.

  

Avene thermal Spring Water

If you read my blog then you will know that I have sensitive skin so a lot of products tend to iritate me. I use this as my toner after cleansing and I find that its nice and soothing. I do agree that it is just a glorified water but it works for me. If your skin isn't on the sensitive side then it's probably not a product that you need (lucky sods!)

 

Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm

I am already in love with this product! I love the smell of it, the taste, the texture and the results it gives. I purchased the lip scrub too try but I havent needed it as this lip balm is just so good! If you like honey then you will love this!

  

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

 I've always wanted to try the Lush lip scrubs so I took the plunge and brought the bubblegum flavour. I haven't tried this yet but I am looking forward to giving it a whirl!

 

Mac Mineralise Skin Finish in Medium Dark

 I had this in Light plus and it was my favourite powder. It was light and sheer so great for dry skin. As the sun has started to make an appearance every now and then I wanted a bronzer so I opted for the MSF in medium dark. Really love these powders!

Mini Dove Hair Haul ..

 

 
Hey Lovelys!
 
I popped into Tesco on Friday and I noticed that they had a little offer on all Dove products. I picked up these 3 products for around £6 - Bargain!
 

 

Dove Colour Radiance Leave-In Conditioning Spray

 

 

I haven't coloured my hair in around a year now but I loved the fact that this was a conditioning spray for use on dry (and wet) hair. I always find that the day after washing my hair is dryer and never looks as nice. I used this this morning after having curly hair last night and it's lovely to use. It really does add some well needed moisture and just makes it looks so much more healthier. It smells gorgeous too, I think I would just use it for the smell! Its meant to repair damage from within while adding a glossy shine.
 

Heat Defence Mist

 

 

I haven't tried this one yet as I'm still using my good ol' Tresemme spray but it says that it protects the hair up to 200 degrees. It creates a shield around the hair fibre and help protect against styling damage while at the same time leaving it smooth and shiny. Sounds good to me!

Intensive Repair Overnight creme

 

 

If I'm going to be washing my hair the next morning then i will usually smother my hair in some sort of oil before bed. I've never used an overnight cream so i was intrigued! This creme is meant to replenish 1 month’s protein loss in just 1 night. It absorbs into your hair throughout the night whilst you sleep, actively replenishing vital proteins and restoring resistance and strength. This sounds a little too good to be true but I will give it a go!

Mini Body Shop Haul

Hey Girlies ♥,

 

I ordered these goodies just over a week ago when they were having their 50% off sale, it arrived just before the weekend so I thought I'd show you my mini Body Shop haul! x

 

 

Almond Nail & Cuticle Oil Pen

 

This smells like cherry bake wells! I love the smell and I like how convenient it is to use, my cuticles are looking tidy with none of them little pealy bits so it must be doing a good job so far :)

Macadamia Straightening Balm

 

No, I do not need any more hair products but I can't help myself! I thought this would smell like the Macadamia hair oil  which I really love but it doesn't unfortunately, it's still pleasant enough though. I actually really like this so far. It's a straightening balm for curly/wavy hair but I found it gave my hair some extra volume which was nice. I've also used it before curling my hair and it worked great too. It is quite thick so I wouldn't really recommend if your hair is quite fine.

 

Vitamin E Night Cream

 

I've wanted to try this for a while, it was recommended to me through twitter for my sensitive skin. This cost around £2 which I'm happy with and I like it so far! It does have a strong floral scent (which I actually love) but luckily it seems fine for when my skin isn't having a hissy fit!

Wise Woman Eye Cream

 

This was originally £20 but down to £12 on an offer, then i got 50% off on top of that so I had to add it to my basket. It's the most expensive eye cream I have ever tried if you don't include the discounts :). It's meant to hydrate, smooth and soften fine lines. Its ok, I haven't noticed any difference as of yet but I haven't been using it that long! It works well under concealer and it hasn't caused any bad reactions so I'm happy :) 

 

Hope you enjoyed this post! Have you brought anything this weekend? ♥

 

Mini Feelunique Haul

  

I included the Caudalie SOS Thirst Quenching serum  (£23.20) on my January Wish List and as it's so cold I thought sod it why not treat my skin to a little hydrating treat! When adding this to my basket I spotted the grape water (£9) which is also meant to boost hydration so I added that in to for a testing too. I'm all about the hydration at the moment ;).

I've been using the Avene thermal spring water recently which is ok, I do find it quite refreshing and it's meant to balance the PH of your skin which means it'a calmer and soothed so it will be nice to compare the two. I thought the grape water would have a grapey fragrence to it but it doesn't have a scent at all. I have very sensitive skin so i do like fragrance free products. 

The serum feels lovely, I've tried it on the back of my hand and it feels really soft and plump so I'm hoping my sensitive skin likes this! It's meant to boost hydration by 127% and reduce sensitivity by 61% - so fingers crossed!

I also got the S Factor set (£20.47) which includes the shampoo, conditioner and smoothing lusterizer. I was deciding between this and the Redken set but I opted for this in the end. It smells delicious! I did debate the Macamdamia repair mask too but as I had been a little naughty already I resisted and added the comb in instead! This line is meant to defrizz and tame whilst adding shine so i'm excited to try it!

Have you tried any of these? Would you like any reviews on these products? ♥

Payday Haul

Hey Girlies, 

So i popped out with my boyfriend for a little bit of Christmas shopping on Saturday. Oh my god was it busy!! I ended getting a few goodies for myself too - as it was payday!

 

L-R L'oreal Kids Tangle Tamer - Boots - £2.19

TRES'emme Liquid Gold Argan Oil - £6.99

Tangle Teezer - Boots £10.99

Soap And Glory Glad Hair Day - Boots - £5.50

So, I picked up the Loreal Kids Tangle Tamer which is for kids yes but it still works on adults! And also the Tangle teezer which was on my last wish list, my hair has been getting really tangled recently due to ole windiness outside. I also picked up the Tresemme Liquid Gold hair oil as my last one ran out and I luuuurve this stuff. 

Lastly for my hair I picked up the Soap & Glory Glad Hair Day which is for Full, Frizzy or Fried Hair - sounds like mine! It's meant to detangle, gloss & shine, smooth and strengthen your hair. I used this this morning and it is good! It smells lovely - really fruity and it did do a good job of detangling. This worked really well with my tangle spray and tangle teezer too! No more tangles whoo hoo! (Do i want to say tangled any more??) 

Note: if you have been debating whether to get the tangled tamer - get it!! 

 
 
 

L-R Makeup Bag - Boots £4

Maybelline Fit Me Powder - Boots £5.99

RimmelAcandal Eyes Kohl Eyeliner - Boots £3.99

Maybelline Color Tatoo in 'Permenant taupe' -Boots £4.99

 

Firstly i picked up this cute little bag to chuck all my everyday makeup into, I also picked up the Rimmel Scandal eyes eyeliner in nude which i have wanted for a while now. It really is a nice soft eyeliner and great for my NC20 skin, it really tones down the redness on my waterline. The Fit me powder caught my eye, I got this in shade 125 which is the second lightest. I'm not blown away by this powder if I'm honest as I love my MAC MSFN but this a quarter of the price so i cant really moan.

 

I've seen a lot of posts on the colour tatoo eyeshadows recently and I'm really impressed! I picked it up in permanent taupe and its a nice matt light brown, taupe colour. I find that it's actually perfect for filling in my eyebrows and it lasts literally all day! I will be picking these up in a few other colours - fo sho.

 

 L-R Hair bits - Newlook £1.50 each. Soap and Glory Face Massage Mini Mitt - Boots £4.

Revlon Colorstay Nail Varnish in 'Velvet Rope' £7.99

I really love this colour! Revlon say that this is meant to give a gel-like shine, which i agree with and it dries so quickly. I recommend these, they're lovely to use.

I picked this up as it looks quite gentle which i prefer for my sensitive skin, I haven't used it yet but I'm looking forward to it!

Did you get any goodies at the weekend? ♥

 

Cheeky Midweek Boots Haul

I popped into boots today and couldnt resist the 3 for 2 offer! This turned into the 6 for 4 offer after a little wonder around ;)

 

This was my first addition to my basket, the colour caught my eye and i've never heard of the gelly shine range.. Is this new? Cant wait to try it!
 

I've seen so many great reviews on soap and glory scrubs so i picked this one as it didnt have salt it. The mapel smell is really lovely and it was so much thicker than i expected, i guess i imagined it to be more of a runny consistency but looks great anyhow!

 

 

I rediscovered my love for the bourjois foundation recently, i had neglected this for my YSL foundation but i forgot how much i loved it! So i picked this up to give it a try.

 

Don't ask me why i got another concealer - i must have been caught up in the moment! I'm always on the hunt for my perfect concealer to remove my dark circles! I know thats not possible but a girl can dream ay :)
 

 

I usually use a pink or peach powder blusher but i like that this is called 'instant radiance' i thought it would be nice for the winter as my skin always looks so dull.
 

This was my final purchase, nothing special just a wash scrub and face mask in one to remove those naughty blemishes! 

I'll give these all a little try out and post some reviews as i go :)

 

 Has anyone tried any of these products? What did you think? ♥  

 

Saturday Spending Spree ♥

Been for a little shop today and picked up a few new things to try, I will be posting reviews on all of the below - 

 Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer 

 What They Say: Prime Time Brightening Foundation Primer is a breakthrough primer that adds an extraordinarily luminous, healthy-looking glow to your skin while smoothing out your complexion. It's great for combating dry patches, fine lines, excess oil and minimizing large pores. Infused with bareMinerals, nourishing vitamins and antioxidants, it instantly brightens your complexion and extends the wear of your bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. Formulated without preservatives, it glides on with no tacky feel and is suitable for all skin types.

 

I wasn't really looking for a primer as I have only ever used the Rimmel one which i hated. I tried this on the back of my hand and it felt so soft and silky i had to try it. Usually it costs £19, but as i had a £10 voucher it was only £9 - Bargain! 

H&M Eyeshadows

 

I saw these and thought they would be lovely base colours, they were only £2.99 too.

TRESemme' Keratine Smooth Deep Treatment Mask

 

What They Say:An intensive rescue for unruly, frizz-prone hair. This masque deeply replenishes each strand for unbelievable salon-smoothness.

I always blow dry my hair and straighten it as its so wavey so my hair is definitely damaged *sob*, this was on offer for £2.65 so I thought I would give it a go. I'm a sucker for a deep treatment mask!

 

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

I have seen so many good reviews on this i thought i would give it a try ;)

 

Collection 2000 Blush in 04 Trouble

I saw this while hunting for the collection 2000 concealer and I thought it was such a pretty colour. Its a very shimmery light pink. It looks as though it could be used as a highlighter.

MUA Nail Varnish in 'All Nude'

I was after a white nail polish for a while and this was only £1! I've never used a MUA nail varnish so I thought I'd give it a go and see how nice the quality is.

Sleek Pout Paint in '158 Rosette'

This is the mess i made trying to wipe it off!

I loved the colour of this and had never tried pout paint before before. It was around £5 which i thought was quiet a lot for such a little tube but they do say you only need the tiniest bit as its so pigmented which is evodent from the mess i made trying to wipe off the tiny blob above!

Aztec top from H&M

 

I really love an Aztec print and loved this as soon as I saw it, think it will look great with skinny jeans.
