London/Birthday Beauty Haul

And here we go again, yep another haul...

If you read my last blog post, you will know that I visited London to celebrate my 19th Birthday! 

So here's a few beauty products that I got as gifts or that i purchased while in London.

Making the most of being a Body Shop Member

So if you're a member of the Body Shop then you will know that 4th-5th June there was an amazing offer of when you spend £25 you receive a gift worth £23.

So I've had my eye on a few things I've been meaning to get so what better opportunity.

So the free gift included 4 travel/sample size products, hand cream, a lip butter and a puffer. Something that I love is trying new things but like I've mention is I don't like buying expensive full size products that I don't know if I will enjoy. So getting them for free is perfect!!

Ive never tried any of the products at all but I'm open to trying pretty much anything. 

The free gift worth £23 includes

Coconut Shower Cream

Peppermint Foot Cream

Satsuma Body Butter 

Rain forest Moisture Shampoo

Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream 

Shea Lip Butter

Puffer

In order to get this, you had to spend £25 so...

Something I've been wanting for a while is the Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask, this was £22 which is pricey but I've heard a lot of good things about this one and I know that I don't, my mam will!

And another thing my mam will be pleased with is that I've finally bought a muslin cloth so I will stop making her white towels orange and black. 

Buy online here.

Then I also bought something for someone else which I obviously wont include in this for obvious reasons. 

All I've been writing about lately is hauls but I wanted to share this offer. If you like the body shop then you should deffo invest in one of their membership cards! Its so worth it, free gifts such as this and 10% anything that you buy at any time. They do cost £5 but its worth it for the money that you'll save. Buy online here

Must Stop Spending..

Hello lovelies, payday means lots of shopping! So, heres all the beauty things I popped into my basket...

Real Techniques

Real Techniques powder brush and  stippling brush.

Topshop Beauty

How gorgeous is the limited edition packaging?! 

Topshop nail varnish in 'Boy Next Door' 

 Topshop lippy in the shade 'Innocent' 

Lush obsession continues...

*Shock horror*

If you're a reader of my blog this will be no surprise that I've re-purchased the Love Lettuce for about the 6th time in a row. I love it so much there's a more in-depth review here.

And another re-purchase has been the May Day bath bomb. I'm guessing that these will be getting discontinued soon now that May has ended so I wanted one last go just incase.

The Bubblegum lip scrub.

Fudge Urban 

Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry and Vanilla

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The Body Shop Tea Tree  

The thing I love the most about shopping the Body Shop outlets is they sell little sample/travel size skincare products, which if you're like me and have iffy skin is perfect for. The Body Shop skin care can be pricey, especially is you don't know if it will agree with you skin but buying some little sample sizes like this is perfect and when they're £3.50 for both you cant go wrong.

Super Drug Wipes

A slightly boring one but everyone needs them from time to time. I prefer to cleanse, tone and moisturize but sometime when makeups heavy or you just want it off quick its so much easier to remove using these.

Garnier Olia Hair Dye

Another essential re-purchase, my current hair dye colour but all of the Garnier Olia is buy one get one free at superdrug!

Scott Cornwall Colour Restore 

This little lovely was sent out to me to sample and review. Thank you so much for sending! So this is a temporary hair dye so it will be great if your hair is looking like it needs a bit of TLC, cant wait to give this one a try and I will let yous know what I think!

A Little Secret Weapon to Clear Skin

One very simple thing that I've brought onto my skin care that, in my opnion, has made a huge difference. This is the Body Shop cleansing brush and cost me around £4, bargain. Its a light exfoliating brush that I use either when I'm exfoliating obvs or sometimes when I'm removing my makeup. 

Its a very small brush that I just brush all over my face, excusing the eyes, in light circular movements. After I use this my skin just feels extremely clean and washed away of any impurities. It has massively reduced my spots, blemishes and black heads too. 

I often use this when washing away a face mask, particularly one from Lush. If you read my blog you will know its normally the Love Lettuce that I'm obsessed with. I feel as like Lush face masks have so many skin benefits and the Love lettuce is very exfoliating, so to really rub this product into my skin feels like it would do it the world of good. My skin is always feeling so fresh, clean and glowing after I do this! Its my favorite kind of skin treat or what I do before an event that I want to look nice for. 

I seriously recommend investing in some kind of facial brush. I know you can get electronic ones and they're often pricey but this one is only £4 and does a very good job. I've never had a electric on so I cant compare. 

If you like your skin to just have the extra bit of freshness or glow this is a really easy to to achieve without makeup or expensive time consuming products.

Easy, quick and effective.
