Mini Manchester Haul

-


Well hey there!

So this post has been a long time coming and I've missed being able to post regularly due to copious amounts of work that are never ending, but here it is my mini Manchester haul, or in other words stuff I bought that I didn't really need.

Firstly I went into H&M and needed a few basic things for spring, so I got a black and white stripe mid-sleeve top and a baggy super soft grey jumper to go with jeans or shorts and shirts. I also spotted this fine gold chain with a cross on my way to the checkout and just couldn't leave it there. I try to restrict myself when it comes to clothing otherwise I end up with tons of stuff I never wear and no money, not a good plan.

Of course I had to pop into Lush and pick up my favourite bath ballistic 'Sex Bomb' which smells aaamazing and makes the bath water pink with that little flower bobbing around on the surface. I also fancied a face mask since I felt my skin needed a treat and so opted for a more 'mature' smelling one called  'Brazened Honey'. I was a bit disappointed because it didn't really have much of an effect on my skin, so maybe I'll try a different one next time. I also grabbed a shower gel called 'Happy Hippy' which has a really fresh grapefruit scent and the mini bottles are perfect since I love trying loads of different shower gels instead of being stuck to one for ages.

I saved the best till last and popped into Boots where I bought a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 001 Honey/Douce which is so perfect for an everyday look and smells of mint which is just a bonus. I then bought some more face necessities, the Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser and the L'Oreal Skin Perfection Soothing Gel-Cream Wash. Both are just great for cleaning your skin once you've taken your make-up off. The final product I bought was the John Freida Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone-Correction Conditioner, which later I went back and changed for shampoo. This basically keeps my blonde hair blonde and stops any orange or brassiness coming through. Thank God for John Freida!

I know it's been a long time but again I'm going to try my best to set time aside to blog each week because I love doing it, it's just sometimes everything gets a bit hectic. Hope you're doing well and let me know if you have or tried any of these products in the comments.

Thanks for reading :-)

    What a fun haul. I've been meaning to go to lush for a long time. I've never tried their bath bomb, but I may consider it if it is priced fairly.

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Well hey there! I thought I'd slip in a blog post between homeworks and coursework and tell you all about this unbelievable mascara from Benefit. Benefit is my favourite brand of make-up and always produces amazing products and so I can't rave about this mascara enough and encourage anyone who is looking for a new mascara to definitely give this a try.  I wear this mascara everyday and it never fails to make my lashes look amazing (if I do say so myself). It ticks all the boxes for length, volume and curl and the 'jet-black' colour stands out no matter how long you wear it. Whenever I use a mascara that isn't waterproof I always end up with black smudges under my eyes which always use to annoy me and made it so difficult to find a good mascara, but with Benefit They're Real! mascara I've never had this problem which really surprised, because it was the first non-waterproof mascara that I could wear all day without any smudges.

Recent Favourites

Well hey there! Huge apology for the lack of posts lately, school work is slowly taking over my life and leaving me with a non-existent social life and seriously sleep deprived. I wanted to make a commitment to myself to do a monthly favourites but I don't think that's ever going to be possible with my combination of laziness and an never-ending pile of work, so I thought I'd just drop a quick mention of what I've been using lately. So it isn't a lot but here are some recent discoveries of products/stuff I've become completely obsessed with starting with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in 'Not An Illusion'. This is great to wear on a day-to-day basis or for a school day look as it just gives a tint of colour but isn't too glossy. It has a very sweet/chocolatey smell and I pretty much wear it everyday recently. Next beauty related product I adore (which is no surprise) is the Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder. I got it as part

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation / Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Well hello there! Today I wanted to show my favourite (and in my opinion the best) foundation and concealer around. The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer are the perfect combination for a minimal make-up look, or when built up great for special occasions. On days when I'm too lazy to bother with a full face of make-up, I use the Collection Concealer on its own to cover-up any blemishes (which are a constant on my face) and dark circles. This product is highly pigmented and has such a good coverage but still has a natural look. In this concealer I am a shade Light 2. Again and again I go back to this product and in my opinion it is amazing. The applicator is easy to use and great for applying under the eyes and the packaging is simple. The only thing I would change about this product is making it bigger, so it would last longer and spare me the time of going out and repeatedly buying new ones. Having
