February Favourites

For some reason there doesnt appear to much make up in this months favourites, although I'm sure that will all change next month as I've just started using a couple of things that I've been loving! My first favourite is this lovely heat defence styling spray from Tresemme.I always have this worry that spraying my hair when its dry will cause it to look greasy although with this it's not a problem. I also think its really well priced at £3 in Asda considering you get 300ml and it smells great. Another product I've been loving from Tresemme is this spilt remedy serum which I did a full review on here. I had to pick up this Radox shower cream after hearing so much about it and love the smell! My skins also been loving this Almond Body Butter from the Body Shop which sadly featured in my empties yesterday. I haven't used the Biore cleanser long enough to comment on a change in my skin - although it had to be a favourite purely for the warming sensation which is more common in masks. This Japonesque brush was a great find at just £3.50 and I've loved using it this month. Finally I discovered MUA nail polishes! This ones in Pistachio ice cream and I cant wait to try more!

What have you loved this month?

February Empties!

I don't have too many empties this month, although I have noticed that a few of my 'every day' products are near to the end so expect to see way more rubbish next month! As normal I managed to make my way through my favourite Dove Conditioner and even through this Boots heat protection intensive conditioner which I love (and have stocked up on). I also finished two No7 products in the form of their famous wipes which are a steal at £2 with the £5 off vouchers and this Melting Gel Cleanser  that I would happily by again if I didn't have so many to get through.  Despite enjoying this Imperial Leather Skin kind hydrate bath milk I probably wont buy again purely because like the cleanser I have others to get through, I also wont be repurchasing this Ultimate base concealer kit as I feel too much ended up going to waste as one shade was far too orange. Lastly and probably the empty I'm most upset about is this amazing Almond Body Butter which I've loved using!

Mini Superdrug Haul

I know what you're all thinking, another bloody haul?! Believe me I know and I'm thinking the same thing! But I really wanted to share what I found in Superdrug today because I think the clearance was pretty great! I don't know what it is with the Superdrug nearest to my college but my friend and I always have to have a quick look in there because we find the most amazing deals (I'm talking products for 10p a lot of the time)

Today we went in there in search of the Undressed too palette which I've finally found! I think I've tried about six Superdrug's so It was great to finally see it on the shelf. Like all MUA Palettes this was £4 and I really look forward to trying it. Now for the good part, on the clearance stand was this Good Things Stop That Spot! gel for just 49p! There were a few other Good things Items in this section but the others that I would have wanted to try had already gone. Many Naked Skin care products also happened to be in the same section I picked up the Perfect Getaway Cream Cleanser, up tone Girl toner and Bare faced Cheek face wash - They were all marked at £1.12 but went through at just 45p each making my total spend under £6! This is why I love Superdrug!

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

Unless you've been living under a rock I'm pretty sure you've seen a review or two on Rimmel's Apocalips. I wasn't originally going to post my own because of that, but since my views on these do seem to differ from many people's I figured I'd get them out there. I searched so many Boots stores back then they had the 3 for 2 deal to find the shades I wanted and ended up settling on Galaxy, Celestial and Eclipse despite really wanting to try Nova. 

I do quite like the packaging of these and love how the applicator goes inwards to collect the product, although I have seen many complain about how they pick up too much and it gets messy! To be honest I'm not a huge fan of the colour range, currently there are eight shades in the collection. I feel like the majority of those are quite bold colours and there are a lack of everyday shades, but that said I am happy with the shades I did pick up. As I'm sure you've all heard these are amazingly pigmented which I definitely feel is one of there strong points and after a while the glossiness transforms to a stain. I think there are a lack of these types of products on the high street so was excited for these, but once the gloss began to fade I just found these drying. 

I figured I'd talk through the shades I own individually, Galaxy is the boldest shade I own by far, But Personally I love purple shades against my pale skin! I tend to wear a toned down version of the way I'm wearing it below overwise I just feel like it gets way too messy. For some reason this is the only one I own with some kind of glitter running through it but I feel like that adds to the shade.

I'm constantly hearing that Celestial is 'so easy to wear' but personally I think its a little bright for that, It's no where near a natural colour but that said I do quite like the shade on my lips!

Lastly is my favourite of the bunch nude eclipse - It just so happens to be my perfect nude and I really enjoy wearing it. It's one of those shades that you dont have to think about because its so natural but no where near concealer lips!

Overall I do think these are good products, but as always with hyped up products I feel a little disappointed in them. Saying that I would happily buy more if they extended the colour range and there was a new shade I liked. You can pick these up for £5.99 in Boots.

Weekend Buys..

Over the past few days I may have developed a full blown obsession with the lying game but I did however get pop into town this weekend with the hope of finding some Dainty Doll goodies in TK Maxx. Sadly my local store is rubbish and they had none, but have seen so many posts about Radox's new shower cream so decided to pop into Wilko's and snap it up for just 90p! I also needed to make a run to Asda to pick up some juice, but it was a case of going in for one thing and coming out with everything but that! I've seen the advert for Beautiful Creatures and decided I wanted to read it, Asda had the best price at £3.85 although of course when I got to the till it was it was £5.40 - Is anyone elses Asda one amazing at trying to rip you off?! I also ended up popping Pride and prejudice into my basket as it was £3 and I've never seen it before. Although the beauty isle was the favourite part of my trip since they had a bit of a sale on I picked up; this anatomicals stop cracking lip balm for 50p, Biore Warming Anti-Blackhead Cleanser for £1.50 and A Tresemme heat defence spray for £3.

Is anyone else terrible at trying to get just one thing?!

Youtuber of the week #2

Last week I shared with you guys one of my favourite Youtubers, Mallorylovesmakeup who actually mentioned my next favourite in one of her videos. TheNewGirl007 never fails to make me laugh, and it is her stunning personality which makes me such a big fan of her videos. I'll be honest with you in saying I'm not normally a huge fan of tutorials, but I will happily sit though anything she posts because quite frankly I think she's great and deserves so much more attention.
