Saturdayy Shopping!!!! :D

As I work Monday to Friday, 8-4, the weekend is really my time. Like, I'll go shopping, lounge in bed all day or go somewhere I haven't been in a while which is what I did :)

Nearly every Saturday me and my family go shopping to the Bullring in Birmingham but we felt like a change so instead went to Merry Hill in Dudley. Personally I prefer the shops in the Bullring, mainly because I'm so used to going, but it was nice to see another perspective on how the shops would dress the mannequins and how the stores are laid out. Wow...did I just say that?!

Anyway, I thought I'd show you what I bought from my little trip to Merry Hill.

Tiger

A mini scorpion in a little plastic box. Super cute :3

A marble effect notebook. Because you can never have enough books :)

The Body Shop

Basically, because I used my loyalty card for the Body Shop, I managed to get £10 off my whole purchase because of my recent purchases and my birthday money (you get £5 on your birthday) :) So get a Loyalty card now!!! It's not hard at all, promise :) And it doesn't cost to join! You'll earn points every time you spend, 10 points per £1, and then in return you can have money off of products or even donate to available charities with what you've earned. All you'll need to give is your name, address, mobile number, birthday etc. the basic information. Then, when your birthday comes or events are coming up, you'll be updated with this news via email or text and then you can go wild with trying to products and spending all those points :D

Honey Bronze Tinted Leg Mist. Hopefully it's a lot quicker than fake tanning with a mitt :) No oil or shimmer, just spray onto legs.

Inflatable bath pillow. Everyone knows I looove a bath so I thought I'd give myself extra comfort with an inflatable pillow haha :D

Boots

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. Soo after a day at work, not going to lie, I can't be bothered to take my make-up off but as I've just turned 20, I told myself that I need to start looking after my skin and in the blogging community, I caved and got this beauty. I've already used it and wow...my skin feel soooo much better already and that's after 1 use! This paired with the muslin cloth is genius :D

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Minimalist. I've already got this lipstick but in the shade 'Keep it Classy' and the formulation of this is insane! So I thought I'd get a new shade :D

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in 15 Rose Eclait. I never ever wear blush, mainly because when I do try I look like a clown haha :') but I thought I'd try something at least and this colour caught my eye straight away. I didn't want anything bold so a light dusky pink will do fine...hopefully :)

Look Good Feel Better Angled Blending brush. Now I'm desperately in need for another MAC 224 blending brush but didn't really want to spend that much on a brush and when I found this one, not only was it a pretty brush but was 1/4 of the price! This brand is the only worldwide charity that provides practical support for teenagers and women that are struggling with the physical effects of cancer. When purchased a percentage of the proceedings go towards the charity. Helping people and a beautiful brush...win win!!!

Nails Inc Alexa Hearts Red Hearts top coat. I've been eyeing this up for aggggeeeeesssss and when I saw it was the last one, I had to. Sorry. The brush is quite small so only a few hearts collect on the brush but I suppose it'd last longer :)

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.

Valentines Shopping Haul.

Hey Guys!!

Happy Valentines Day!! 

So...how's it hanging, what's up? Anything new?? I know I know I haven't uploaded my January Favourites or my latest Suds Sunday but my Suds Sunday was the same as last time and I didn't really have any new favourites for January because I was using the same products as last time hahaa!! :D

Anyway, I hope your having an amazing Valentines Day and I personally think that everyone should be treated on Valentines Day whether you have a boyfriend or girlfriend or are single. So go on! Splurge out on those shoes! Buy more than 1 of your favourite lipstick! So that's what I did and I didn't hold back :') So get yourself a cup of tea or whatever you want to drink and let's get started! Oh...p.s. please excuse the rubbish nail job :/ I did it last night as my other nail varnish had completely chipped off so I slapped on Essie 'A-list' a standard staple of a bright cherry red <3

So let's begin...

TOPSHOP

Sorry for the angle :/

Anyway, I needed to go and get some new socks as the majority of my favourites had holes in and was causing me blisters so of course dinosaur socks are the way forward for me and because the offer was 3 pairs of socks for £8.50 I spotted (see what I did there! :D) these cute cow ones and well...they're just too cute to leave :)

Then because I had a £10 voucher for Topshop for Christmas I bought this dainty nail varnish in the colour 'Crack your Code' which is a baby coral with flecks of white bits in.

Then I went into Boots... (cue dramatic music) :'D

Firstly I bought a complete classic from the Essie section and that is 'Fiji'. A beautiful pale pink :)

Now...because there was an offer on buy 1 Maybelline product and get the 2nd half price, I couldn't say no :D So I purchased the Maybelline Colorsensational Elixir Lip in 'Caramel Infused' and for the 2nd product I got the Maybelline Falsies Mascara and I blame Tanya Burr! (You'll know if you watch her videos)

Now the last thing I bought from Boots I'd seen quite a few times but I sort of thought 'why would I need that when I've got similar products' but it was only when I opened it up in store and saw how matte they were when the ones I have have a slight shimmer too them. So I got it. Yes I'm talking about the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit which includes a highlighter, a lighter bronzer and a darker bronzer and like I said earlier, they are all completely matte.

Then it was time for Superdrug...

Now I've been reeeeallllyyy wanting to try out bloggers and YouTubers Tanya Burr, Zoella and Ruth Crilly but could never find any of the products anywhere for about a month...until today!!!!

So, first on my mind was Ruth's dry hair shampoo. Her dry shampoo comes in 5 scents; New York, Paris, London, Tokyo and Rio and I decided to choose the Paris scent which is the florally one of them all but just in case I either didn't like the formula or the scent, I chose the mini version :)

Then it was time for Zoe's products. If I'm honest I was really only looking for her bath bar thing and I managed to get the last one!! Woop! Woop! Haha! :D But yeah, this is called the 'Fizz Bar' and basically looks like a white bar of chocolate and when you want a bath you can put as many pieces of the 'chocolate' in as you want. But just remember, you can't eat it!! But the smell is very refreshing sort of reminds me of 'Dragon Egg' from Lush. But the packaging is wayyy cuter :3

And last but by no means least, Miss Tanya Burr's cosmetics. Now I'm not normally a fan of lip gloss' mainly due to the fact that they've always been very sticky, too sweet smelling and just generally bad quality so I decided to pick a neutral colour to wear so that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't feel as guilty because there would be a similar colour in another brand, rather than having a beautiful colour and not enjoying the formula and not being able to find a dupe for it. Do you get me? Nope...okayyy :/ So yeah, I picked 'Picnic in the Park' again because she goes on about it sooo much she convinced me that I need it in my life and well...now I do :D

Now I'm quite a fan of eyelashes but every pair I've bought look too fake but on one of Tanya's vlogs I think it was either Niomi that was wearing them or Tanya and they looked amazing! So, I bought the 'Date Night' ones which I thought looked the most natural without being too natural if you get me :')

Then whilst I was browsing around I also found a new nail varnish from Model's Own and it's the Colour Chrome collection and I was really intrigued into what the pay off of the colour would be so I chose the shade 'Chrome Pink'.

As well as this nail varnish, I also spotted a new rail of Max Factor and immediately saw the blushes. Like. Oh...my...god. Beautiful. The colour of them reminds me of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes but obviously less expensive haha! They are the new Max Factor Creme Puff Blusher in the shade 'Lavish Mauve'.

And that's it. I hope you enjoyed my Valentines Day haul and you have an amazing day and tell me in the comments what you did on Valentines Day? :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you guys later.
