It's just passed Payday and so I decided to go out and do a little bit of shopping...thought I would share with you what I ended up purchasing and a review of the products. I am quite bad for when I go to the shops I end up buying quite a lot of stuff (most of which I don't always need!)
Soap and Glory
In boots today I went a little soap and glory mad. Their range is just so brilliant and there is so much to choose from! I especially liked the look of the new make yourself youthful range, but I'll save that for another day.
Facial soap and clarity 3-in-1 daily detox vitamin c facial wash £6.40
total drama clean 5-in-1 magnetising micellar make up remover £4.80
Clean on me creamy moisture shower gel
Body butter £2.50
The righteous butter body moisturiser
Smooch operator lip butter balm coconut ice £4.00
The facial and clarity facial wash and the total drama clean make up remover are my new favourite products!! They are absolutely brilliant! I used the make up remover last night to take off my makeup and only had to use a tiny bit on a cotton pad and it took my whole face of make up off! It made my face feel completely clean and smooth. I hate when using Make-up wipes as they still make you feel like the make up is stuck in your pores! Definitely recommend this product guys! And it's new to the range! The only slight criticism i have is that its not very good at taking off liquid eye liner! i had panda eyes when trying to take it off! The facial wash was incredible! You only need to apply a tiny bit(size of a grape is what it says on the back but you don't need that much. I would say about the size of a 5p penny) and it's very wet so you apply it directly to a dry face and rub it in circles! It has little pink balls through it but only a small amount and when applying it's so incredibly smooth! Rinse it off with water and your face is amazingly fresh, clean and smooth! Brilliant product!
The smooch lip balm is great! No tingle on the lips and works good as a base before you apply your lippy! It also has a slight shimmer to it.
The Body Shop
I haven't been to the Body Shop in a while so I ended up buying quite a few things to keep me going. I just couldn't help myself!
Pink grapefruit body sorbet
Pink grapefruit shower gel £4.00
Pink grapefruit body mist £7.50
Vanilla body mist £7.50
Pink grapefruit hand cream £3.50
Pink grapefruit lip butter £4.00
Tea Tree blemish fade night lotion £9.00
Vitamin E intense moisture cream £8.50
My absolute favourite range is the pink grapefruit as you can probably tell from the list of what I bought! I think it smells great and not to strong either. I love wearing that and it means that you don't have to wear perfume otherwise it would overpower the smell.
The vitamin e intense moisture cream has a great feel on your skin, you only need the tiniest bit to make your skin fully moisturised!
The body mists smell gorgeous and you definitely don't need perfume on when you wear it!
Like most people my skin is quite prone to blemishes and spots...its so annoying! Why can't i have flawless skin?? Anyway...I purchased the tea tree blemish fade night lotion in hopes that they would disappear! i have only used it for a couple of days now and i can definitely see a difference.
The pink grapefruit body sorbet has a rather grainy feel which, contrary to beliefs feel amazing on the skin when rubbed in and the smell is gorgeous(if i hadn't mentioned already!)
Barry M
I love Barry M make up I used to buy it all the time before I started using MAC religiously so I decided to have a look at their range whilst in boots. I ended up getting two palettes for £10 and a brow kit.
Natural glow palette 2 shadow and primer £6.49
Smokin hot palette shadow and blush £6.49
Brow kit shape and define £5.99
The natural glow palette provides you with many different shades of brown so that you can create a copper look to your make up! It's great for application and blends really well! These are definitely the colours I will be using almost daily!
The brow kit! Absolutely brilliant! I really struggle with my brows and finding the right kit for me! I have tried benefit, loreal and MAC(which is what I am currently using) and i find the Barry M kit very simple to use and the shade is perfect for me. The gel goes on lightly so you need to coat the brush quite a lot to fill the brow and the dark shadow defines the brow brilliantly. The highlighter helps to define the arch of the brow and the overall shape of the brow.
Nails
Sally Hansen miracle gel 510 game of chromes
Sally Hansen complete salon manicure 372 griege
I am someone who changes their nail colour on a weekly basis and have started to purchase the gel colours to try and keep it on for longer. These nail colours are perfect! The grey is lovely and light and the chrome provides a great contrast and glittery feel when wearing it on my ring finger with the with the grey.
Yankee candle
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Yankee candles! They smell gorgeous! I just love walking into their shops as you just get hit by the most amazing smells when walking through the door. I spend ages in there smelling all the candle looking for the right ones you buy. I have tried quite a few but my favourites are always the fruity ones. I thinks it's amazing that you can smell one and it's like your standing in a garden and then you can smell other and it's like your eating a bowl of fruit. I only ever get them and open the lid for the smell to waft through my room as I am slightly wary of candles being lit ( I am a bit of a scardy cat when it comes to flames!)
Pink grapefruit
Black Cherry
Silicon Lemon
