We've all done it, walked into Boots with a list of essentials like nail polish remover and ended up walking out with a 5p bag full of makeup because you can't handle yourself. Just me then. Going into Boots the other day was very exciting because all the stands had just been stocked up again and there were so many new offers on all brands, the beauty addict inside of me couldn't resist.

NYX Haul & First Impressions
Thursday, June 30
Another haul? Yes indeed. I have been buying little bits all through the month of June because it was my birthday month, who doesn't treat themselves. The Boots near where I work has recently added a NYX stand, I just had to have a visit. I was expecting this little stand like other brands, but no it was at least 4 stands filled and placed near all the 'high end beauty'.
NYX is definitely on the pricier side compared to other 'drugstore brands, well in this country anyway. Hence its position in the store but it was like heaven and the counter area was packed full of people, I was just hoping I could find something worth the lunch time trip!

I am always going to browse the aisles of my local superdrug to see what new things they have and also the boots website, and I thought I would save you the trouble and collect it all into one post and this time its a big one....

Beauty Haul||Feel Unique,Superdrug+Boots
Thursday, April 10
Over the last two months I have been doing small shops to buy different pieces of beauty items, didn't mean to but everything was on offer when I purchased so its allowed!
Superdrug/Boots (I can't remember where exactly!)
- BarryM Gelly's|| These have already featured on the blog! I picked up the new pastel shades from BarryM because I love wearing them for the Spring time.
-L'oreal Nail Polish|| A first from L'oreal from me, I loved seeing lots of people wearing these macaroon colours and wanted to try them out for my self. I got drawn into the mint green one out of the other shades because I have never seen anything like it!
- Rimmel Lipsticks|| Not one to buy from Rimmel a whole lot, I decided to pick up the Kate Moss Lipsticks because the nudes are meant to be amazing! And who can resist a Buy one get one half price offer? I picked up 03 and 08 both pinky nudes that look amazing for everyday wear.
-MUA Blusher|| After hearing some other people in Superdrug talking about them and literally buying every single shade I decided to pick one up as well to try. Not a big fan of blushes in general but this is very neutral so I guess I can make it work!
-Batiste Dry Shampoo||I have recently become addicted to using dry shampoo, it has so many great benefits and I went a picked up a big bottle as well as a small one for my travels next week to London!
- Garnier Micellar Water|| A impulse purchase as it was on offer. But these Micellar water's have truly stolen my heart, and this is just another one to add to your shopping list. I love this compared to the other ones because it has been made for sensitive skin. A full review coming soon.
-Hair Grips|| I always loose my grips, and then my mum ends up finding them on my carpet or in the bathroom. But nevertheless, I still buy more because I need them all the time!
Feel Unique!
-Tanya Burr Lipgloss|| Ahhh, I finally caved and bought two of the Lip-glosses from the range in 'Afternoon Tea' and 'Picnic in the Park' the names are so cute and they are amazing formula+quality!

Haul||Primark Jewellery,Poundland&Boots
Tuesday, March 4
In half term I went to do some shopping but only really spent my time in Primark staring at the pretty jewellery as they have some really lovely things in at the moment! And then I went to Boots and let's just say the current 3for2 and my double points vouchers did the better of me and a quick stop in Poundland to see what goodies they currently have to offer.
I don't know why or how but Primark have been getting in on point at the moment. I decided to update my accessories for the summer time and spring with some pastel coloured stuff as most of what I own is winter stuff. Plus, going to college at the moment and wearing normal clothes proves difficult If you don't have accessories to jazz it up. The first thing I spotted was this stunning flower statement necklace, that I cannot stop staring at - it will look great in the spring/summer with a peter pan collar or even with a jumper. To match that I also bought a bracelet that is fairly similar and some cute little earrings that come with simple pearl ones as well for everyday wear. I picked up some Midi Rings as well as I think that they look super cool to wear and ace when stacked up with different rings, along with some other rings that you can't really see in this picture as they are facing the wrong way but they come in a set with a flower and bow too. I also bought one packet of their false nails as so many people on my twitter and instagram feed have been raving about how long they last, so I got these printed daisy ones.
Then I promised my self that If I go into boots I have to spend wisely and it would then mean no more beauty spending for a few months. So I stocked up with some things that I have been wanting for a long time, so the 3 for 2 deal was superb! I headed straight to buy the new things that Revlon have recently launched first the Matte Balm in 'Sultry' and 'Elusive' then a Lacquer Balm in 'Vivacious' all of which are so pigmented and feel super soft when I swatch them on my hands. Then I bought another Revlon Lip Butter; these things are amazing and slowly becoming a habit of mine to buy! This new one is in 'Pink Truffle' a shade I have had my eye on for a long time, the perfect everyday nude. I also picked up the new Maybelline foundation that claims to help you skin, the disappointing thing with this is that the shade range wasn't the greatest so I went with '020 Cameo' as it was the closest I could get to my skin. I have also been wanting to try the erase under eye concealer for the longest time and decided to just buy it try out and after using it twice now I have fallen in love with it. I picked up another of my concealers as I need a new one to use, along with the constantly raved about Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Lord knows, how many people talk about this on youtube and blogs so I thought I would try it out.
I just had to pop into Poundland really quickly to see what they have to offer and to my surprise they had some things I was eyeing up online a few weeks back. I bought two Revlon Nail Polishes in Minted and Grey Suede as well as the Witch Tinted Moisturiser. I am a big fan of the brand so I have high hopes for this wonder product.

No7 High Shine Lipgloss - Coral Kiss ♥
Thursday, September 19
A few weeks back, I got gifted this No7 goody bag from a good friend of mine and I was very excited to see what was inside! And I am loving everything I have got! No7 is a brand that I don't really buy from as they are only ever in boots and the stands always seem really busy..however I think after discovering this bag, I may be drawn towards them! I haven't really used anything from the bag apart from this lipgloss!
This coral lipgloss, is such a beautiful colour. It is slightly more pink that coral as I would describe it as it isn't as bright. The formula for these high shine lip glosses are amazing, they are so pigmented, glossy and most of all are super soft when on the lips. You can make it look sheer on your lips or even build up the colour if you want something a lot more bold. When I swatched it, it felt really sticky so I tried it on my lips and it wasn't sticky at all!
This is available to buy in Boots and there are also so many more shades to choose from!

10 Beauty Products Every Woman Should Own ♥
Saturday, February 16
Well hello there! I am now officially on half term for one week! Which means blogmania! I will now have so much time to blog ect. and I'm off to London on Wednesday, so loads of pics! And I shall also be uploading outfits of the week..
Today's blog comes from my winter essentials post, it is 10 products that every woman out there should own! If you carry these around, you will never have a bad day again!
1. Blush - Blush is the ultimate instant picker-upper. Whether it's rose, apricot, raspberry, or fuchsia, gel, cream, liquid, or powder, nothing livens up the face faster than dab a fabulous flush with a pretty pop of colour swiped across the apples of your cheeks for an instance glow!
2. Concealer - If you find yourself affected by dark circles, blemishes, pimples, and redness on a regular basis, it’s high time to become a pro at masking your minor imperfections. Make concealer your beauty BFF—nothing stands a chance against this cosmetic camouflage.
3. Eye Cream - Even though wrinkles are unavoidable you can get rid of them for a while by sticking to a good preventive care regimen. Start using eye cream now to smooth over fine lines, reduce puffiness and the appearance of under-eye baggage, and brighten dull, sallow, shadowy skin.
4. Red Lipstick - My fav! Much like your signature perfume scent, every girl needs a go-to red lipstick right by her side. It's appropriate to wear whatever the occasion wearing it makes you appear more confident and shows that you like to be different. Whether it’s crimson, cherry, cardinal, cinnamon, or candy apple, choose a shade that flatters your specific complexion and enjoy the high-fives on your bold beauty move.
5. BB Cream - BB Cream's have only recently become extremely popular, this is because they not only give you a healthy shine but they are so good for your skin! It’s what someone would describe as a sheer foundation, moisturiser primer, and toner all in one. That's not even the best part?! It not only allows you to build colour but it also gives you coverage to hide even the worst of blemishes but actually treats them. Double-duty beauty!
6. Mascara - Long, luscious lashes are equivalent to the cherry on top of your favourite dessert. And it’s OK if yours aren't naturally show stopping you can easily add a little oomph to your everyday look. Take your lashes from short to full and fluffy in 30 seconds flat by swiping a few coats of mascara through them.
7. Dry Shampoo - The beauty world's eqivalent to sugar! Buy yourself a little extra time between shampoos with a dry variation. The powder formula absorbs excess oil, dirt, product buildup, and odor, quickly cleansing your locks without even getting your hair wet.
8. Deep Conditier - Regardless of style, texture, and current chemical state, everyone’s hair could benefit from a little extra TLC. Take the time to treat your locks once or twice a month to an intensive, deep-conditioning session that’ll nourish, fortify, and moisturize your mane. Trust us—your newly strengthened strands will thank you for it!
9. Face Wipes - You’re too tired, you've had a long day…blah, blah, blah! Sleeping in your makeup is absolutely TERRIBLE for your skin’s health and appearance, so before you drift off into la-la land, the least you can do is quickly remove it Here’s a quick tip: keep it out so you can see it at night!
10. Sunscreen - No matter your age, ethnicity, complexion, or skin type—should be protecting your most precious asset from incredibly harmful UVA/UVB rays on a daily basis, whether the sun is shining or not.

There are those certain things that everyone women/girl should have in there wardrobe especially in WINTER! .. here is my top 5 things that you SHOULD probably have!
1. Leggings - Black,Grey,Blue, green whatever colour! Everyone needs those comfy, stretchy leggings in the wardrobe that you can go and wear whatever the occasion, you could wear them during the day and dress it down .. or even wear it at night and dress it up!
2. Boots- I adore wearing boots In the winter! They are so comfy and look amazing with any outfit. For winter I prefer wearing knee high black/brown boots or even ankle booties. They look perfect with some jeans or even leggings! Ugg boots (fake or real) are also great for the winter time!
3. Jumpers - Seriously though... Why wouldn't you have a jumper in you wardrobe when the weather is dreadfully cold!! I Love the big oversized jumpers/sweaters that you can buy and just wear with leggings or even a pair of jeans! It's an item of clothing that just makes you feel relaxed and warm at the same time!
4. Jeans- whatever style of jeans you have from skinny to boot cut straight to long length. Every person should have a pair of go to jeans that they know they can rely on. I have several Pairs of jeans that I depend on during winter...with out them I'd be lost!!! Jeans make you feel so cool/warm in the winter and look perfect with practically anything else you have in your wardrobe; as well as things mentioned in this post.
5: And finally...the scarf! Having a scarf during winter isn't 'uncool' it's the next possible accessory you could have during the winter. You could wear it to keep you warm, however I also use it to update my outfit and add a little splash of colour or print to my over all fabric! Scarf's are super cute, and you can wear it soo many ways! Another type of scarf that is great for the winter is a 'snood' there are sooo warm!
