Hello everyone!
I've got a big collective haul for you today. I've been doing quite a lot of retail therapy lately which has
made a bit of a dent in my bank account (Whoops!). Some of these things I have wanted for such a long
time though and I'm so excited to share what I brought with you guys!
Hope you Enjoy!
Recently I decided to switch up my skincare routine. Instead of using a face wipe to take off my make-up I
wanted to try this micellar water from Garnier. So many people talk about how great it is and thought I would
give in and give it a go! I see what the fuss is about. It feels a lot nicer then a face wipe. It really gets all my
make-up off which I love. I prefer to use some sort of make-up remover before going in with my cleanser.
I've been getting more into my nails over the past few weeks. I'mnever usually fussesd about my nails as I'm not supposed
to wear nail polish at work and if I ever do, then they just chip easily and it's too much hassle. I really love stiletto nails
and I love how my nails look when they're long. I never really use base or top coats but I knew I really should use them. I
found this double duty top and base coat from Sally Hansen. It's such a great little 2 in 1 product! It definitely makes sure
that dark colours don't stain my nails and also makes sure it doesn't chip so easily as well.
This is just my usually hairspray that I LOVE. I just needed to restock. The smell of it reminds me of pina colada..
anyone else get that?
Another product that is one of my favourites. I've tried other moisturisers I just find myself going back to this one all the
time and it lasts me absolutely ages!
At first I wasn't too fussed about this mascara when it came out but after the guy at the Urban Decay counter told me
how amazing it was and how Kim Kardashian used it for her wedding make-up, he got my attention! (I'm a very big
Kardashion fan). After doing some research on it and seeing some reviews I just had to try it out. so far I am absolutely in
love. I will be doing a review on this mascara soon so look out for that!
I have wanted to try Mario Badescu products for such a long time and finally I just gave in and bought a few things to try.
The price tag was the main thing that put me off which, is why I've only bought 2 products for now. This particular
product is a targeted spot treatment for pimples and whiteheads. I've been using it for over a week now and I'm really
impressed. The smell isn't great but it's not the worst and you do get used to it. It dramatically reduces any spot I have and
helps calm it down a lot. It wont work on any cystic spots. There is another treatment designed for that which is
the Buffering Lotion, That will be my next purchase!
I bought this dry mask to go with my drying lotion. I really enjoy using this. It says you can use it 2-3 times a week. I
probably use it 1-2 times a week. It claims that calms exsisting acne and prevents future break out. I'd say so far after
using it a few times that it does do that. I do feel like it calms my skin down and it does help dry out any spots I have.
Macadamia Natural Oil Shampoo, Moisturising Rinse, Nourishing Leave In Cream &
I recently tried the travel set from Macadamia Oil and I really enjoyed it so bought some bigger bottles of my most
loved products from them. Although, the leave in cream was an accidental purchase. I was supposed to get the
moisturising rinse and wasn't paying attention and ended up ordering the cream instead so had to go back and purchase the
rinse! I only realised while taking the picture for this post.. that'll teach me to pay attention in future I suppose!
I love using these products. They leave my hair feelings amazing and smell incredible! They are expensive but I've found
they they are so much cheaper on Amazon so will just continue to purchase them on there.
My mum did actually pick up some cheap versions of these in Aldi I think it was for 99p each! They're exactly the same
size as these bottles as well. I will definitely be giving those a go and reviewing them to see if they are any good.
After watching Barbara from The Persian Babe's skincare routine, I really wanted to try out this cleansing balm. I usually
use the No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser but as I said before, I wanted to switch up my skincare products. It's for all skin types
which, is great. I prefer to use a balm or cream cleanser as it's less harsh on my skin and my skin can get very dry so I
want something that wont dry it out even more. I've been using the balm for the past few weeks and I'm so happy with it. It
is very expensive but I'm hoping it will last me a while to make up for that!
Topshop Nail Polish in Ruthless. (Not currently available online)
As it's getting colder I wanted a deep red nail polish to get me more in the mood for Autumn/Winter. I usually use Revlon
Nail Enamel in Vixen, but have ran out of that. I got this one in Topshop for £4 as I used my friends student discount. This
colour is so gorgeous and it's that type of colour that will suit most skin tones.
TK Maxx Gold & White Chevron Photo Frame. (Similar Here)
I'm currently in the process of decorating me room. Everything is quite neutral with a few accent colours, with gold being
one of them. I love white and gold. I think it's so elegant and simple. I picked this photo frame up in TK Maxx for about £7/8.
Whilst I was in TK Maxx I found these under eye pads in the beauty section. I love TK Maxx's beauty section so much!
you can discover so many great finds in there. I got these for £4.99 as they look nice and relaxing. I'm now 21 so I don't
have any wrinkles but I'd like to prevent them for as long as possible and I thought these would be great to use if I'm ever
feeling tired or haven't had much sleep! I've seen things like these for much more money, so I thought £4.99 was a
bargain!
So you know I'm obsessed with the Kardashians. Kim is the reason I purchased this coat. She rocks a long camel coat like
no other! I want to start dressing a bit more grown up and I think this coat definitely makes me look more serious and
grown up. Can't wait to start styling it! I got it with 20% off as they had a voucher at the time and I ended up getting this
for about £50 including shipping.
H&M Jersey Vests. (Similar Here)
I'm getting into the habit of working out more, so wanted to stock up on some simple and comfortable pieces to wear. I got
these 2 vests in H&M for about £3.99 each plus I got 20% off with my friends student discount again, so definitely got a
good deal there!
RBX Sports Leggings. (Similar Here)
I also picked up some work out leggings in TK Maxx. I got them for £14.99 and I really love how they look and fit on me.
It definitely makes me more motivated to work out when I have cute work out clothes to wear!
