What I got from Birmingham! :D

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging?? :)

So as promised here is a mini haul of stuff that I got from the Bullring in Birmingham. Me and my family always go to Birmingham when we want to do a massive shop rather than Walsall because there's more shops and is sort of like a treat/break from work. So without further ado here we go :)

My lips lately have been very dry even with Vaseline it still isn't as effective as it used to be and originally I went into Boots to look at the Maybelline lip balm but once I spotted this I knew I had to try it out. It's the 'Dr Rescue' by Baby Lips and although the packaging didn't really stand out to me but I thought I'd give it a go. So far, it has added soo much moisture to my lips. The smell is a bit off-putting because it smells like Vapour rub but the colour of it suits my skin tone very well :D


Now to take off my make-up I used to use the Lush 'Ultra-blend' cleanser which is a non-scented sort of moisturiser that when massaged into wet skin forms an oil that gets rid of any make-up but because I have combination to oily skin, I found this made my skin even more oily so I only use it when my skin is super dry. So then I've got to admit I went a bit lazy and started to use make-up wipes...I know I know I'm sorry :( but with work and stuff I found this way much easier than using the cleanser. But after a couple of months of using make-up wipes to 'remove' my make-up, I found my skin starting to gain more stupid spots than normal and after searching through blogs and YouTube videos, I wanted to find another way and found this:


This is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water has been raved about in the beauty world only recently as a cheaper alternative to the Bioderma which is supposed to be amaaazing :) With this cleanser you just need to get a cotton pad with this stuff on and wipe away haha!

Now I reallly needed a new Beauty Blender because it's sooo dirty even after cleaning it about 5 times and there's a chunk missing out of it because I accidentally dropped nail glue on it and it hardened and when I was using the blender that one part was scratching my face so I picked it off but there was a massive chunk missing so I thought It'd be best if I got a new one :)


When it comes to my eyebrows, I've only ever used an MUA eyebrow pencil which has a brush on the end but I decided to splurge on something that I'd heard great things about and that's the Soap and Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow Filing Pencil & Brush. With a dry spooly on one end and the pencil at the other it looks promising :)


Only recently have I been looking for a good quality tanner that doesn't make you look like a walking cheese puff and this beauty caught my eye:



This is the Rimmel London Sun Shimmer Instant Tan and the major thing that made me want to buy this was because it's a matte tan so there aren't any glitter or anything that would make you look shiny which was what I was looking for. As it's a wash off tanner, I thought this would be the most versatile out of the tans that I've seen and was affordable as well but hopefully I'm not going to need any gloves to use it because I haven't got any :/

The last bit of make-up I bought was a foundation. Now it's not every week I buy a new foundation because I don't wear that much of it but I've been obsessing over L'Oreal True Match foundation but decided to try something new so I went for:



It's the new Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude foundation and although I tested the colour out, I think it might be a little bit too dark for me so if that's the case I'll have to get the colour underneath this one but the formula is very runny which I find more manageable.

Now when I bought these Saturday day time I was going out on the night and decided to buy myself some new clothes so from Miss Selfridge:

£16.00


£45.00

For my play suit I would have had a better picture of the actual thing but it's in the wash at the moment.

And that's all I bought from my shopping trip on Saturday sorry I didn't upload this on the actual Saturday but I went out on the night and everyday in between I've been suuuuper busy :D

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.
