Feb Favs!

March already?! I swear it was new year yesterday....
Anyway, there are quite a few products that I have seriously loved this month!


1. No7 Quick cover blemish stick. £8 (£3 with the boots voucher!)
I think I might have purchased this in January? but I've loved it
since I bought it:) Its a concealer which covers blemish's a treat!
as the name suggests. Its really creamy and not cakey, too thin or too thick. Defiantly my favorite concealer so far, I would love to try a mac one soon though, I'm about half way on the No7 one so its lasted  2 months of everyday use, and I have loads of blemishes!:)
Boots say - No7 Quick Cover Blemish Stick is a high performance non-pore blocking concealer to hide everything from blemishes and age spots to uneven skin tone. What's more its unique oil-absorbing light and creamy formula smoothes on easily to control shine for up to 12 hours.

  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Fragrance free



2. Simple Spotless skin range - £3, £4 and £5 for the spot zapper!
My skin had been terrible recently and I needed a new skincare regime to sort it out and thats exactly what this did. I had always been a fan of simple and since their new(ish!)range was out I gave it a shot. Its fantastic. I've got the spot zapper, triple action facial wash and wipes. The spot zapper is perfect, its a roller ball and you dont have to squeeze out product or get your fingers messy, just simply roll on! The facial wash is great and it slightly exfoliates too. Lastly the wipes are great for when your in a rush and want to give your face a wash, and also for removing make up.
Boots say - Get results from day 1 with our Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash. It’s a perfect blend of spot fighting ingredients and natural antibacterial goodness to deeply cleanse, purify and tone removing hidden dirt and unclogging pores. Perfect for even sensitive skin.

3. MUA clear masacra - £1
For £1 its great, it keeps my lashes in place when I want a natural yet curlier look, and my eye brows. Not much to say but defiantly an essential. See my review/haul on it here.

4. Charles Worthington Hair Healer leave in Conditioner. - £5.61

I use this after every wash now. I've used it since the summer, used quite a few bottles and it makes my hair so much nicer and smooth. Its a leave in conditioner which you put into your hair after washing it and it makes my hair so amazing! I have thick, frizzy and dry hair and this improves it so much. I swear by it and cant live without now!



Only a few things but theres so many things to mention!

Not sure If I've said on here yet but I ordered a few items from elf and havent heard from them about dispatch yet, its been a good 2-3 days and they say within 24 hours... mmm... I've emailed them and I'm just waiting for a response, I love the look or their products so this will really be a let down if it takes longer than the 5 days max told for delivery....:/

MUA!

Over the valentines day weekend superdrug were offering a free delivery thing, and I was browsing online and was going to just buy some skincare stuff, butttt, i ended up buying some MUA stuff as well:L I had never tried MUA products but had always wanted to after reading so many blogs on them, so heres what I got!


 The first Item I got was a clear mascara. I wanted it to keep my lashes and eyebrows in place and whatnot and its all good so far. The brush is easy to use and the want is a good length, not much to say about it.

 Next is a lipgloss. When I was ordering it... I thought it was clear, but no... superdrug have the shades mixed up... so I received shade 5, which was what the picture said was clear, but hay ho. Its not sticky at all and goes on nicely and is very smooth and feels moisturizing as well.. Its a light pink, almost barbie pink and quite similar to MACs steppin' out dazzleglass, but the MUA one is less sparkly:)

Last but not least was a Nail polish in shade 5, which is a pastel blue/green. The brush isnt fantastic, and you do have to apply a few more coats than normal but its only £1!... The bottle is small, and the lid does not line up with the bottle:L but you cant complain for the price... 

All in all I am quite happy with my products, for £3 for 3 things it was alright and money well spent. I would love to try out the lipsticks or eyeshadows next as I hear they are the best in the range but haven't been into superdrug recently and the £3 packaging puts me off ordering online....

What do you think about the MUA range?:)xx

Saturday Shopping!

Well Hello there:)

Its the day before my sisters 10th bday so my mum and me had to pop out to get a few bits and bobs, and of course we ended up getting loads:L

First thing which I got which I am in love with is this multicoloured union jack cushion from primark, its so colourful and for £4 its amazing! I also got 2 plain white tees and a black cardigan but they're boring :P

Next thing set of things I got was from boots:)
I'm really into moisturising my lips at the moment and wanted to get a tubed lip balm instead of my tin vaseline. I chose burt's bees (£3.65?) because they had a mango one (I LOVE mango!) and its been recommended several times. I love it! I cant choose if its a mango smell or tropical but its really nice. Its very moisturising and doesnt feel uccky on your lips which vaseline often does.

Then I got a comb(£2 ish), waahaay! annndd then decided to try out some dry shampoo. I have thick, frizzy hair which is very dry... but I am really lazy sometimes and cant be bothered to do much to it. I decided to buy some Bastiste tropical dry shampoo (£2.35) for those days there I dont feel like washing my hair... I shall tell you how it goes:)


I also got some lee Staford products to try and make my hair nicer, but theyre in the shower:)

and then I just got some food and school stuff which is rather boring:P

I will be showing you some MUA products I recently recieved in the post and maybe a nail polish collection or comparison:) byeeee xx

So hopefully you will see a lot of those on my blog. I live in the UK so most brands I will feature may be UK only, sorry!
