I went shopping, maybe more than once?
It was my birthday this month and I was very lucky to receive some spending money so over the last few weeks I have been in and out of the city trying really hard it's really easy to buy myself some goodies.
Some of these goodies are repurchases and some I am yet to test out so I am sure you will see more of those ones on here with reviews.
So here's the low down of what I got:
This is a miniature roller ball perfume and it is perfect for your handbag especially on nights out or in the summer months when you're a bit conscious. At only £3.99 it's a bargain for the refresh you need through out the day. It is an oriental smell with bergamot, peony, vanilla and musk which makes it warble for day and night!
Super Facialist by Una Brennan:
This is a new brand to me, one I am very excited to try with many bloggers recommending Una's creams and treatments.
-
Vitamin C Skin Defence Daily Moisturiser: This day cream is meant to act as protection from the sun with SPF in it. It is also meant to give your skin more luminous, radiant and hydrated skin. This is everything I want in a moisturiser. Something I will wake up and put on and make me feel fresh and healthy along side providing a good even skin texture and based for foundation.
-
Super Lift Night Cream: This moisturiser is meant to recharge and optimise cellular renewal for a fresh youthful plump skin. Different ingredients such as peptide and apple will help to rejuvenate you skin throughout your sleep. I haven't tried either of these so of yet so I will keep you posted
literally.
L'Oreal Paris:
Le Blush: I have seen lots of reviews of this gorgeous blush range form L'Oreal. I went for the Coral/Peach blush in 160 which I hope will be my new summer must have blush. Even when applied with my finger onto my hand for this swatch it blend with ease. Obviously it is over pigmented here purely because I used a large amount and applied it with my finger so its more packed on than evenly distributed. Nevertheless once applied with a brush I can see real potential in this product.
Infallible Matte Foundation: This is a new release from L'Oreal and I am a big fan of there True Match foundation so I was keen to find out if this foundation was up to the hype. I have seen a few great reviews so far... It is meant to last for 24hrs however I don't intend to wear it for that long so it is not something I will be able to comment on. It says it provides a full coverage with out the cake affect leaving skin looking like skin, I like the sound of that! It is also 'Clinically proven' to be steam and waterproof which sounds fab! I have picked up Vanilla 11 which is the perfect match for me. Again this is a new product for me so stay tuned for my thoughts while I test it out.
Oooo I am in love with this scent. Its new to me and great value £19.50 for 75ml. M&S have gotten on to a great one here. Its a fresh formal scent and perfect for everyday wear. 'A delicate fragrance with notes of oyclamen, orange bloom, magnolia and transparent wood'. It's hard to describe but go and have a sniff in store, its seriously lovely! I also really like the bottle, it looks enticing on my dressing table, the fresh and crisp white bottle with simple chains wrapped around the neck screams chic and modern. Thats me?!
I've seen
Lily Pebbles rave about this, repurchase and put her other bronzers in storage; therefore it must be something special. it does look gorgeous with the two lovely tones which don't appear to be too orange toned either (hooray!) meaning will give a sun kissed look but I will also be able to use it to give my face some light and shade and subtle structure for lack of an overused work contour. I am really excited to use this product, I have high hopes that it will be a new favourite in my collection.
Repurchase! This is just my fav concealer, I've pick it up in shade 1 to use as a under eye bag cover upper. It has fantastic coverage and everyone whose a fan of makeup knows this is the concealer to beat. It would be tough to beat it at a steal only £4.19! 1 thing I think you need to know about this product once applied you do need to work quickly as it sets. This is because they have tried to make it full coverage and transfer proof, which it does both. Just remember to work with the product and blend quickly to move it around.
This is a cream eyeshadow stick, it is very creamy. It provides easy application and in this rose gold colour is bang on trend at the moment. However, don't let the creaminess of the formula fool you, you need to act quick and get it in place and blended asap because this doesn't budge once it is set! This certainly is crease free and pretty much waterproof, which is always good to bare in mind when taking your makeup off in the evening. It might need an extra cotton pad or wipe. A lovely colour and product nonetheless. Well done again Mossy!
Repurchase, in my opinion Maybelline are the queens of Drug Store mascaras. I buy this waterproof one as a layer in my beauty regime. This is the step straight after curling my lashes. It is important to use a waterproof mascara after you curl. Waterproof mascaras are oil based therefore it will hold the curl normal mascaras are water based so just as your hair would go straight in the rain your eyelashes will with water based mascara. If you don't already have this step in your beauty regime trust me it is soo worth the extra mascara as the results are undeniable.
This is again essentially a repurchase just in a new colour. I already have about 5 of these and I love there easy wearability, check out my review/recommendation of them in a
previous favourites post so I won't repeat myself.
This time a went for Pink Truffle, I think its not quite correctly named I would call it rose truffle. Its a a reddish rosy, brown truffle-like nude and it hasn't let me down. Its gorgeous on and balances with your natural lip colour seemingly!
This is an American Brand and a discovered it when my best friend brought me some goodies back from the USA and introduced me. I've been hooked ever since. The only place I have found it being sold is in Topshop but for a bank breaking £7 FOR A LIP BALM?! Worry not my lovelies! I brought a 5 pack on eBay for £16.95 not only are you then stocked up, but you get a chance to try each flavour/sent and pay 1/2 the price with free delivery! It works out just under £3.50 per lip balm and that's a price I don't mind paying for smooth lips. They are 95% organic & 100% natural. Directions for use are my fav: Twist off top, Pucker up, Smooth on, Smile. Simple easy worth the eBay hunting (or follow the link and don't hunt).
Thats everything.
Wowzers it's a lot!
I am one very excited lady eager with anticipation to try the new products I have purchased.
Eeeee!
