Haul

Hey Girls!

I've done a bit of shopping and I thought I would share it with you...



Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser in Beige I bought this from the recommendation of Miss Budget Beauty, and I absolutely love it! My favourite is the No7 tinted moisturiser, but due to its recent hype its gotton so expensive, but for £1.99 you cannot go wrong. So moisturising and not too bad on the coverage side. I do like a good coverage, so typically I will mix this with a tiny bit of foundation, and it is a dream to use. The only issue is that there are only 3 colours, I picked mine up in Beige, which is the darkest and I could do with it being a tad darker- but when mixing it in, its gorgeous.

*Barry M Nail Paint in Peach Melba Ever since this colour has been released I have been hunting for it but it always seems to be sold out! I finally got my hands on it and I have been wearing it ever since, such a great colour and for the price, its not too bad for chipping either. I do like Barry M Nail Paints, along with OPI and ChinaGlaze they would be up there in my top 3- the formula is great, they last ages, and the colour  range is fantastic. If you can get you hands on this, it is a summer must!

* Channel Vitalumier Foundation Sample in Beige After the drama with the Vitalumier Aqua breaking me out, I was ready to try another of the Channel foundation family. This gives great coverage, doesn't dry my skin out, gives a fresh dewy look and I am quickly falling in love with this. Think this is next on my purchase list. 



* MAC Lipstick in CremeCup This buy was a 'second best' type of buy, I went in to purchase LoveLounge or Impassioned but nether were in stock in the HOF, Bluewater counter :( I love the cremesheen formula as they are really lovely to apply, however I have two niggles about this type of formula. 1. They do not last long on the lips, anybody have any tips? 2. Like my beloved Creme d'nude they melt and fall apart which is not attractive at all! However, that aside I love the colour of this, it also looks great paired with Beehive by 17. Gorgeous!

* Topshop Creamblush in Head over Heels The Topshop blushes have been a Blog and Youtube fav since they were released, and this colour in particular is top of peoples shopping lists. The cream to powder finish is lovely and it had real longevity, I really cannot wait to purchase another. Costing under a fiver, its a piece for your collection that you wont regret!


*Batiste Dry Shampoo in XXL Volume This was bought on the recommendation of  Vivianna, if you haven't read her review then head on over and take a read. I love this product, I always have massive lion hair and I am never seen without my Sami Hairspray, Dry shampoo and my back coming brush, but this has made my life so much easier and I love how it makes my hair look within 3 minutes! A must buy if you love voluminous hair and it looks pretty on my dresser, it matches my room perfectly!

I have also bought the new Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser and a review is coming your way!

Do you have any of the above items, what do you think?

June Glossybox

Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't done a post in over a week, been putting in the overtime at work so it's been a bit crazy!

This morning I rushed to the front door to be greeted by not only a good looking postman but even better, my June Glossy Box. Now for those of you that don't know 'GlossyBox' is a £10 a month subscription service and you recieve 5 product samples to your door once a month.



After last months awesome box, I was expecting big things. I was disappointed as I own 3/5 products from this box so, it had no shininess for me! Still, it is a really good box, with some fab products.

Here's my thoughts on each:

 Batiste                This is my best friend and I can never have too much of it.
OPI polish           This is more of a winter colour I think, wrong timing - but  love OPI
Lalique Perfume  Not my kind-of scent, will accompany my Nan's Birthday present!
Mama Mio           This hopefully will be good, love the brand already
Bio Effect Serum   I am looking forward to this, tried this on the back of my hand, LOVE!

Overall the box is a good box, just a bummer for me owning most of the products, but hey as I said you can never have too much Batiste or body scrubs! Not such a summery box, hopefully next month we will see some more summer inspired bits.

Have you got your box yet? What do you think?
