Boots Spree

On my last trip to boots I had to spend £30 for my extra points to be added, and it's not that hard for me to spend quickly in that place!


I got the Argan Oil hair treatment which is practically the same as Moroccan Oil but a lot lot cheaper. It gives my hair way more shine which I love and for £12.99 saves me a lot of money.


Natural collection always have 3 items for £5, so i nearly always end up getting the offer instead of just one, I have a weakness to special offers of any sort. I got two blushes that were recommended by another beauty blogger, and they really are worth it! They have pretty good colour pay off, especially for £1.99 each. I got rosy glow and sweet cheeks, and they both really warn up my complexion. And also a neutral gloss that goes with anything, I love it for when you're running out the door.


I love Photoready foundation by revlon, it's my go to foundation for any night out or even during the day sometimes. I didn't necessarily need it this time but i dont want to run out of it, so this is my back up for when i do, because you just never know when it's going to go!
I also picked up a revlon lipstick in 'Pink in the afternoon', i thought i might become a little more adventurous with spring/summer day time lipsticks, because normally i only wear glosses and tinted lip balms in the summer. Its a creamy texture and a subtle shade of bright pink, I can only try it and see.
Revlon just bitten lip products are great for long-lasting colour without it being a thicker lipstick, something you don't always want. I got this product in the colour twilight. Its a deeper shade of pink/cranberry which allows you to create a more statement lip without it feeling really heavy. It's a great daytime product. I know these came out ages ago but I've just never thought that they would be any good and just stayed away from them, but they've surprised me :)


Collection 2000 concealer in light and Rimmel Stay matte pressed powder in translucent are two staples in my everyday make-up routine. The concealer has such good coverage and easily hides the worst of spots and even under-eye dark circles, it's brilliant, especially for the price of just over £4!

Glamour April 2012

If you haven't already, get your hands on this months UK copy of Glamour just for the free gifts available. 

So far I've got the finishing polish but I'm going to try and get my hands on all of them, It's definitely worth it when you can get four full sized products for just £43!! I know they've been selling really fast though, just like the Clinique giveaway with Cosmopolitan, but it's definitely worth a try!

79p lashes

I love these lashes I recently bought from my local Home Bargains, especially due to their 79p price tag! In boots I've seen them for a minimum of £5, so these are a bargain in comparison.

They come with red string on the ends of the lashes which is meant to make the application easier, however I find that they just get in the way, so I just remove them before I put them on which doesn't bother me.

This particular pair gives a subtler and voluminous effect to your lashes without appearing over the top. I really recommend them at such a bargain price!!

A wardrobe addition

Crop biker jacket: Miss Selfridge: £49

My new favourite piece of clothing in my wardrobe is this faux leather crop biker jacket from Miss Selfridge, a splurge I've allowed myself to invest in. I've been wanting something like this in my wardrobe for quite a while now as I've always though it is something that goes with practically everything, I'm so glad I bought it!

With it being a cropped jacket I feel it adds a slight edge to the jacket, so the rest of the outfit can be simpler, which is what I like, one statement piece.

The jacket also doesn't have that cheap look about it which other faux leather effect jackets do sometimes tend to have, which I really like.

The only thing I wish is that the price could have been slightly less, however as an investment piece I can wear for quite a while, I believe it to be money worth spent! I don't think I'll be taking this off for quite some time! Love It!!!

New Spring Shoes

I can tell it's getting nearer spring time, I felt the urge to buy ballerina flats for the first time this year. I love these neutral pumps I found in Next  the other day. They will go with most things because of the colour and the jewels on the front just that something extra, because I'm really not one for anything super plain.
They'll also go great with the coloured skinny jeans that I've been buying recently, and help me get out of the winter blues! Can't wait for Spring/Summer now, I love everything I'm seeing at the minute.

Clinique mascara swap

I wasn't going to do the Clinique mascara swap when I first hear about it as I thought you had to swap an existing Clinique mascara and I've never owned one. But once I hear that it could be a mascara from any company I didn't hesitate to try a new one. 

I must have taken the most used and dried up mascara in the world, and I felt really stingy thinking it to swap for a full sized sample, but I did It anyway.

Out of the two you could choose from I picked the volumising mascara, because that is what I tend to go for and I also preferred the wand on the 'High Impact' mascara. 

I actually really like this mascara, It gives me volume at the roots and also provides quite a bit of  length (especially when I seem to have hardly any lashes at the minute).

It's definitely a good marketing ploy because I am soooo tempted to go buy this after I've used up my sample and more of the ones I am currently using, so I can justify the purchase!! I'd never thought to try Clinique mascara before but i may have been converted, thanks Clinique!
