A Little Haul

Hello Lovelies!

Whilst trying to get my Christmas shopping started, I picked up a few little things for my self..

I popped into boots and picked up a fair few things, starting with some neutrogena products, I'd tried out their plain visibly clear oil free moisturiser and really liked it, and heard good things about the grapefruit one so going to give this one a try. Also from their visible clear range I got their 2in1 wash and mask, I've tried it a few times, and as a mask I really like it! I Finally have had my brace off after nearly two years and this white glo tooth paste was one of my first purchases, I want to look after my teeth more now after having it off and as i drink a lot of tea and coffee I thought this would help keep them clean and sparkling white! I picked up a few nail polishes I know I really don't need any more.. but I really wanted to try out the new Barry M Gelly high shine nails, so picked up this one in watermelon, and I love the colour, its a  deep bottle green, its soo pretty!  I also picked up this silver glitter, and have worn it over a nude MUA nail polish and its soo lovely together. 

  

I picked up a few winter warmers from primark, these pyjama bottoms are soo comfy, I love the prints on them too. Primark always has a really good selection of sleep wear and for £5 each I couldn't say no! I love getting cute pattern socks around Christmas and these ones from H&M are so cosy, shall be picking some more of these up!

Lush Cupcake Face Mask Review

Hello!

I've been using this face mask from lush lately and I absolutely love it! This mask is aimed at oily and teenage skin to help absorb oil and control your break outs which is exactly what my skins needs desperate help with. It contains cocoa butter, linseed, cocoa powder along with peppermint, spearmint and sandalwood, it also has little beads in it to exfoliate your skin. The mask is just lovely and feels like its actually working whilst its drying. After using it my skin is left feeling super soft, smooth and cleansed, plus it smells absolutely amazing, just want to eat it!

Have you tried this face mask out, what are your thoughts?

No 7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream Review

Recently I've been trying to find a moisturiser that will help tame my oiliness but can not seem to find one to do the trick. I spotted this day cream by No 7 in Boots the other day on one of my many ventures a week in there.. I had a few £5 off vouchers to use and as I already use the exfoliator and cleanser from No 7 which I loved so why not try the day cream. As this is aimed at oily/combination skin No 7 says that the product is a light, non pore blocking moisture cream to hydrate whilst balancing oil production and preventing breakouts. And after a few weeks I can say that its a good day cream, the fact its quite light, I don't feel like my face has soo many products on it. It's also helped the small dry patches I get but I can't say that's its done much for my oiliness.. its helped a little bit and my skin has seemed a lot brighter and spot free since using it along with my other No 7 products however the oiliness is still in need of taming. I would recommend this product maybe to those who haven't got such oily skin as myself and at £12.50 its worth a go especially with a £5 off voucher! 

Have you tried any of the No 7 Beautiful skin range, what's your thoughts on them?

Haul

Today I went shopping after work and before a meeting, and got a few little things. after dealing with a ridiculous amount of kids at work today, I needed a pick me up. I got a few essentials from Boots, like the soap and glory hand food- I love this hand cream! i hate feeling grease on my hands, and this hand cream is nice and smooth and clears my cry hands for hours and non greasy! does anyone else hate the feeling of grease on their hands? I also got a few mini travel size sanctuary products, the illuminating moisture lotion and the radiance exfoliator. I have quite dull skin at time, and I've heard a few good things about this brand so going to give it a go and see if its any good. may do a review on it. I got some new eyelash curlers- I don't always use them that's why I wouldn't really splash too much on them but I do have eye lashes that don't tend to stay put through out the day, they always drop! I then pondered over to the make up and decided to try the Rimmel stay matte foundation- I have such a oily t zone! I've tried soo many foundations but none have done the job, going to give this one a whorl and see if its any good. After my Boots raid, I Wondered over to Superdrug, and got a few things from the MUA range, I had previously uses the nail varnish from them, they were really nice, stayed on for quite a while with out chipping! I got the MUA clear mascara as I had read that its quite good for combing through and taming your eye brows, basically a dupe for the one from MAC. I also got the extreme curl mascara, in black brown, didn't realise until after I bought it, silly me! but I've tried it and it looks nice actually it has a really nice curved brush which picks up the lashes well, needs a more thorough look. I also got one of their lipsticks, in shade 7, which is a nicey pinky colour, the consistency seems really nice and smooth and it looks really nice on the lips too. Finally i picked up a few NYC nail polishes in park ave which is a nice topey colour, which I think will be nice for the autumn months ahead, and I also got fashion ave fuchsia which is a dark pink burgundy colour with a bit of a glittery effect, its looks really pretty on your nails. Bit of a long post for you but just getting started on here (:
