A week of new and old favourites...

Last week I went on a catch up with one of my uni friends I haven't seen in a while and ended on a little beauty spree for new products to try or just a top up of my old favourites...

Primark

First stop was Primark where I picked up a new makeup bag £3 absolute bargain it has so much space in it, also picked up some new hairbands for £3 which I also need for beauty school.

Lashes, Lips and Hair

I bought some new eyelashes for my night out Saturday so I thought I'd give the new Katy Perry Pop ones a try they have a little colour in them and ever better you get a cute little sticker in the packet when I popped them on the were slightly too long so I just trimmed them but the packet also suggests how to style them in other ways which is great. I picked up the new dry shampoo from Batiste as I'm always running out and the new graffiti can look so cool but I can't really tell if it has a new scent to it or not which I thought it would as that's many what I like in hair products. As i was in Boots spending a Christmas voucher I thought I'd pick up another lip butter by Nivea as they are amazing so thought I'd go with the Raspberry one which smells yummy!

Clarins Special Offer

Well it was time to pop into my favourite skincare brand as I was in need of some of the best makeup remover ever which removes nearly all heavy makeup in one sweep its that great especially when you are just off to bed after a night out and can't really be bothered. The lovely lady behind the counter didn't have to convince me too much to take the offer of buying another product and getting 4 other products of your choice (out of a selection of course)and a bag. So my 4 top products I chose:

Hand and Nail Cream which is lovely makes hands so soft and smells great too.

Blusher I have never really tried Clarins makeup but this is a lovely colour and full size can't go wrong. 

Cleanser with Shea butter absolute lovely product again and smells delicious.

Hydrating Serum which is also great for my dry/sensitive skin really gives my skin a boost and used it yesterday after a night out and made my skin feel silky. 

The Clarins bag is so big you can't fit so much in it.

I was also on a little accessory top up and ended up with four cute necklaces for £5 in total from Top shop and Republic.

Happy day shopping!!

Snow Angels

Well as most of us know the snow hit the UK last week and I could not wait to crack out my new moon boots which I got for Christmas and they are so warm I could not stop wearing them even at the end of the snow I wore them right to the end. But I thought I'd share with you some of the new beauties that I have been lovin during the cold, cosy days...

Aussie Dual Personality- I use Aussie shampoo and conditioner always love the smell of them and I switch now and again from volume to dry/damaged but I thought I would try the hairspray to put some bounce back into my hair and again absolutely lovely smell and tip your head upside down and you can put so much volume in to get big hair sorted!

MUA Nail products- Weekly trip into super drug/boots and I found these little babies on offer for £2 bargain. I have been lusting over Ciate caviar since I was on the waiting list when it came out but was always unsure whether it was worth spending on as wasn't sure if I would be any good doing it myself and plus I wasn't willing to pay extra for delivery online but MUA constellation has been just as good and it is really easy to put on plus no wasting... To be continued next week when I test them.

No7 Heated eyelash curler- I know this is a product that hands been around for a while, I also know of people and there DIY heated eyelash curlers by heating a normal pair of eyelash curlers with a hairdryer but it has ended in disaster by doing it so much you burn them off. Because of beauty school I am always getting my eyelashes tinted this means no makeup for 24hours so they are perfect for just having a natural curl to your lashes but one problem I found with No7 is there wasn't much instruction which is not always a great thing but it was a good price £9.99. Word of advice they are found in electrical in boots not eyelash section doh!!

Carmex- Always a great when its cold and you suffer from chapped lips!

SebaMed Anti-dry- I am always getting dry patches around my nose area and the snowy weather made this ten times worse. I received this in my glossy box and starting using it and I must say it does the trick perfectly making my skin lovely soft and glowing!

Nivea Necessity

The other day being up north with my family i took a little trip to boots to check out some new beauty products. I saw that Nivea have bought out a Lip Butter and saw some other reviews on this but thought id give it ago.
As from previous posts about lip balms I am obsessed with them all shapes and sizes haha. As soon as I had a choice of butters from fruity, plain or caramel, caramel was definetly top of my list smells amazing and dont think i own any smell similar. Straight away the texture of it is lovely and smooth but as soon as you pop it on your lips this beauty melts into the cracks of you lips leaving them lovely and soft, to top it all off this little baby on cost £2 something from boots perfect.
My very annoying habit of biting my lips and making them sore has been solved by this little miracle in a round tin.
