Mini Bourjois Haul

Hi guys!

So a couple weeks ago Bourjois were doing a 3 for 2 offer in Boots so of course I decided to take advantage of that and pick up a few bits. I'm not sure if the offers still on but it's worth having a look!

Healthy Mix Foundation - £9.99

I really needed a new foundation as I only have one other one and I'd wanted to try this one for absolutely ages so I'm so glad I finally picked it up, If you're wondering I am in the shade 53.

Healthy Mix Concealer - £7.99

I haven't heard all that much about this concealer but I really needed a new one and I thought it would go nicely with the foundation as it's from the same range, this is in the shade 52- Medium.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder - £7.99 

I have been wanting to build up my bronzer collection for a while so I thought this would be a good product to get. I got the lighest shade, 51 as although I'm not pale but more olive skinned, I wanted to make sure it didnt look muddy on my face and I can always build it up if it's too light.

So that was my little Bourjois haul, I hope you enjoyed reading and If you would like a review of any of these products just let me know.

Trip To London

Hi guys! 

              So on Saturday (2nd August) me and family went down to London to spend the day there, we only live an hour away but we don't really go to London all that often and I would love to go more regularly, this time we went was more to actually go round the whole of London rather than just to the shops, we went on an open bus tour and went on a boat ride down the Thames, I also went to Hamleys for the first time and went down Oxford street,regent street and Carnaby street-which was probably my favourite. The photos I took of London got deleted somehow but I've still got some pictures from the Brandy and AA on Carnaby Street. We also had dinner at Garfunkels which was soo nice. 

On the walk back to Marble Arch we visited Kiko, which I had previously visited when I was in Paris last year but I only picked something up for my sister so I made sure I got a couple things this time,especially because there was a sale on.

The first thing I picked up was the Glow Touch lip and cheek in the shade 103 Heavy Honeysuckle, this was meant to be 6.90 but was reduced to 4 in the sale, I love the packaging and picked it up after hearing Gabb from Velvetgh0st talk about it in one of her videos.

The other thing I picked up was the Eyetech look eyeshadow in the shade 102 Metallic Rich Gold, it has a creamy texture and is described as an automatic eyeshadow pen and has a sponge applicator there is 14 shades to choose from and was 4.10 down from 5.90 in the sale.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post and looking at the pictures and if you would like a review of any of the products from Kiko then let me know in the comments.

Birthday Haul~2014

Hi guys, I'm actually back this time and am writing 3 other blog posts to go up this week, as it's summer I have more time to blog and can make sure I get properly back into it.

This post is my birthday haul,it's long overdue but better late than never. I turned 15 on the 18th June and would like to share most of the things I received for it.

The first thing that I got for my birthday and was probably my favourite present was a ticket to Capitals Summertime Ball which took place at Wembley Stadium on the 21st June where I got to see my favourite band 5sos for the 5th time and my favourite singer Ed Sheeran who was absolutely amazing

My other big present was from my grandma and it was a fujifilm instax mini 8 bundle which is so pretty and I had been wanting one of these for absolutely ages so I was so excited to finally have this

 I got this lovely mint Ted Baker washbag and the medium sized shopper bag from my parents and I'm so happy to have got these as mint is my favourite colour and I love Ted Baker.

I got this bag as a lovely gift from my godparents and I believe it is from Topshop.

I had been wanting a nail stand for ages so my parents ordered me a customized one after getting my sister one for her birthday and it's so handy and the fact it's personalized is even nicer.

I also finally got another Mac lipstick in the shade 'Girl About Town' which I had wanted for ages after seeing many good reviews and I hadn't got a colour like this.

So that was my birthday haul, I also got some clothes and a few small things but that's all I'll be showing you today,hope you enjoy reading and please follow me if you haven't already.

Recent Haul

So I bought a few things during January and in the first part of this month and today I'm going to show you them, hope you enjoy reading..

This I got way back at the start of January and it has been in my january non-beauty favourites,but it is the Lady Gaga Fame 50ml Giftset, when I got this it was on half price so instead of being £32 i got it for £16 which I think is a really good price. It comes with the 50ml perfume and the shower gel and body lotion which are both 75ml, all of them have black fluid and I love the scent.

Another thing I got in January was this 'extra lasting' mascara from Avon, I haven't opened it yet as I've currently got 5 mascaras open so until I finish them I won't be using this but my mum put in an Avon order and I just picked any mascara, so when I open it and start using it I'll do a review.

This was one of my favourite recent purchases and again I already featured it in my January beauty favourites  and it is the mac pro colour x4 palette,but I'm so happy I bought it,instead of having to use my eyeshadows out of just the pan it's much easier and compact now I've got this palette to put them in. This is £6.50 from mac.

I also only bought one top this month and it is the 1975 tour top which I got when I went to their concert on the 9th January, I honestly wear this nearly every day and put it on as soon as I get home from school because it's quite oversized and very comfy! I love having this just to remember the experience because it was such a great night. You can also get their tops online here and the tops are around £20.

A recent purchase was this tartan snood from New Look which I wear everyday to school because it's absolutely freezing in england at the moment,but it's very comfy and I really love tartan. (sorry for the terrible pictures)

My absolute favourite recent purchase has been these chelsea boots from new look, they give me really nice height but are so comfy and really easy to walk in and i love the look they give because they make my legs look longer. I actually didn't have any black boots before this so these were definitely a necessary purchase! These are £24.99 from New Look.

I also have bought a few skincare items recently because I ran out of some stuff so decided to try some new products.

First is the Clearasil daily clear superfruits oil  shine wash, this is citrus scented so it smells so nice and leaves your skin really very fresh, it says to use this every morning and evening and I've been using this for about a week and have noticed my skins clearing up so I would definitely recommend this if you have oily skin/acne-prone skin. This retails for £4.99 but is currently on 1/3 price at boots.

I also got this eye-makeup remover gel from the boots essentials cucumber range, as I'm stopping using makeup wipes to remove my eye makeup because I have very sensitive eyes. I chose this one as it's very affordable at about £1.50 and I have 4 other products from this range already.

Lastly for skincare I got these face makeup wipes/cleansing wipes as i'm using the last of my bioderma sparingly and it claims to help prevent breakouts, so I use my cleanser to remove my face makeup and then use this after for any excess makeup and to help with my oily skin, I believe these are £1.5o.

The final thing I bought this month was a vip ticket to soccer six, If you don't know what that is, it's a football match that celebrities take part in for charity and it's in London and it's on the 21st February so if your interested in going the ticket link is here and their twitter page for info is here

So I hope you enjoyed reading about all the products I have bought within the past month and a half, I'm also going shopping this half term so another haul will probably be up soon.

Thanks for reading!

What I Got For Christmas 2013

*disclaimer*- I am by no means trying to show off or brag, I am grateful for everything I got given and only am doing this post because I enjoy reading/watching these blog posts/videos.

Also I know these photos aren't very good quality because they were taken on my phone,but I'm saving up to buy myself a decent camera

So Firstly in my stocking I got some chocolate and other little bits like a mint balmi lip balm.

Then for my main present from my parents they gave me £100 because they didn't know what I wanted as there was nothing I really wanted except from the naked 3 palette... which was also the next present I received. When we went to the shops on the 23rd they were sold out everywhere so I wasn't expecting one so it was a lovely suprise when I opened it as my mum had gone out late at night to get it as they were in stock online suprisingly. They also got me one of the Lush gift boxes and the one I got was 'Merry Christmas' so they dont sell it anymore unfortunately but it had 4 bath bombs inside and 1 bubble bar and they all smell amazing! They also got me a cosy head warmer (i dont know the real name) and a top which I asked for when I was with my dad.

Every year my grandma gives me and my sister a £50 note so we each got that and she was also kind enough to give me the One Direction-Our Moment perfume which I had been going on about for ages,also as a joke she got me a really cringey One Direction pillow which I thought was quite funny.

My nan and aunties gave me giftcards/money which I was grateful for.

From my sister I got the little mix album 'Salute' which I had been wanting since it came out and also a nice facemask which I used tonight and it worked very well!

In my close group of friends there are 8 of us so we decided to do a secret santa which wasn't really a secret as we all found out within half an hour but Emily got me and she got me a mini impulse body spray, a nail polish, a nail decoration pack and a selection of chocolates with I've already eaten. But I was very grateful for her presents!

My godparents got me a pack of 3 bracelets and a nail polish duo from the 'Kelly Brook' range at New Look and I absolutely love the colour of them! Its an indigo blue colour and a chunky gold and silver glitter top coat.

From my family friends I got this nail set which comes with 5 mini nail varnishes, a top coat, nail wraps, nail scissors and tweezers, a nail file, a cuticle pusher and nail gems & stickers, the nail varnishes are also metallic which I dont own a lot of so I was very happy with that set

So that's it, I am very grateful for every single gift I received and love them all, I've not got a rather large amount of money to spend so I'm going to save 3/4 of it and spend the rest, I'm thinking of putting in a mac order but I dont know which lipstick to get, I've already got morange

Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post and happy an amazing christmas, oh and Happy New Year!!x
