Huge Beauty Haul
I have bought quite a few bits and pieces over the past few months, so I thought I would share them with you.. I have used most of these items but a couple are very recent purchases.
I'll start with the Sleek make up. I have wanted to try their range of make up for ages, but every time I go online or into Superdrug, the things I want are never there, but finally I managed to pick up some of the things I really wanted. A couple months ago I bought The eyeshadow pallet in 'Garden Of Eden' and this is a green/brown based pallet and it is just super pretty and I was thinking that this would be great for Christmas time and my favourite colour is green, so yay! Last week I then picked up the pallet in 'Storm' and I really wanted this because I have heard that the shade 'Sand Storm' is a great dupe for 'Woodwinked' from M.A.C. I have wanted that shade for ages and the pallets are only £7.99 each which is awesome and they are so pigmented. I then picked up the blush in 'Rose Gold' as I swatched it in the shop and it was super pretty and it was under £5, so...Mine has somehow managed to crack, but oh well, it's still pretty. I then saw the contour/blush/highlight kit and it was the only one left in the shade 'Light' and this is never in stock, so I had to pick it up and it is so pretty and yeah I just really wanted it. This was £9.99, and I know that there is one from Urban Decay which is £22.00. I only realised that Sleek did lipsticks a couple days ago and I saw someone talk about the shade 'Baby Doll' and again it has never been in stock, but it was the last one left so I grabbed it and it is such a pretty baby pink colour with a blue undertone and I love it so far.
I then bought the beauty complexion sponge as I have been wanting one for ages and I thought what the heck, so yeah (my logic is so weird).
I was in TK Maxx yesterday and I love anything that is vintage and this is the best place to go. Whilst my sisters were looking in the clothes section, I was off upstairs looking for baskets and tins... wow!! I firstly found a white basket with a strawberry lining and I immediately picked it up, because once things are gone in that shop, they are gone! it was only £9.99 and at Easter I saw one, but with an Easter egg lining and I didn't get that, so this was a great buy. I am storing all of my toiletries and body butters in it as I buy a lot and then forget I have them, so if I have them on display, I will use them more often!! I then saw a bunch of tins and I couldn't decided between them. I firstly picked up the pink 'Chupa Chups' tin and I thought it was too cute to not get, so I picked it up and currently it is chilling on my floor. I then saw a biscuit tin which was super cute and I bought that as well...I think these were under £5.00 each, which was great. I then walked away and I could smell something amazing so I went on a hunt for candles and found make up storage instead, so I picked up the rounded one and this was only £7.99 and fits most of my make up in it perfectly and I love it.
I have recently been loving The Body Shop and I already had a £10 off voucher form my last purchase, but when we walked in, there was another offer which was' buy one get one half price', and I am not great at maths, so this was a very hard purchase to make. I heard someone rave about the Tea Tree Cool and Creamy wash and this is incredible. I have used this twice now it burns your face (in a good way) and it just feels like it is actually doing something. it was only £5 and I was expecting it to be more, but hey ho. I then saw the raspberry body scrub and this was probably the one thing that I heard numerous people rave about. It looks like jam and smells like cherry bake-wells, but I ma pretty sure that it won't taste very good. I am super excited to use this. I also picked up the coconut body scrub as I love the scent and coconut is supposed to do wonders for you, so yay! I also always want a lip balm from them, but they are £4, but as it was all on a great offer, I chose the Pink Grapefruit one as it smells amazing and it was pink and cute! A couple weeks ago I went in and picked up something from the vitamin C range and I chose the eye reviver duo as I had really bad dark circles under my eyes and vitamin c is supposed to be great... I don't know if this has done anything, because to me I will always look like a panda...when I went to pay at the counter, the sales assistant offered me the body shop card ad its like the Boots and Superdrug cards.. you get 10%off every purchase for a year and a birthday present and it's £5, but I got mine for £2.60?? I then got a free gift with the purchase of the card and it was an elderflower eye gel and some samples of shower gels. All in all, it was a wonderful trip to the body shop.
I bought a few clothes, but I will do a different post on them and I also have a few books I want to talk about, so look out for those blog posts.
