Latest Beauty Haul

7th March 2016

So this weekend I went shopping and got a few goodies.

Superdrug had lots of good offers so I picked up some items I had been wanting to try for a while.

blog 2016 5

Real techniques had 3 for 2 so I picked up my favourite makeup sponges in the double pack £9.99, the new brush cleansing palette £12.99 and the new deep cleansing brush gel £6.99

I’m really excited to try the brush cleaning palette.

online it  claims to extend the life of your brushes with regular cleaning by cleansing, swirling, rinsing, and drying. This is your one step solution.
Surface 1: For removing makeup from large sized brushes such as face brushes
Surface 2: For removing makeup from medium sized brushes such as eye brushes
Surface 3: For removing makeup from small sized brushes such as eye detailing brushes
Surface 4: Lay your brushes on the mitt, bristles downward, for best drying results.

I have already tried the deep cleaning gel and I love it, so I picked up another one while it was on offer. this claims to Improve brush performance for makeup brushes, has no alcohol or phthalates, and detoxifies and purifies.

cleaning makeup brushes can be a boring job but it has to be done, so anything that makes it easier is helpful.

next I picked up some skin care items, my skin is really playing up lately I’m suffering with bad breakouts and I cant pin point what’s causing them so I wanted to try out some new skin care products. I also purchased the Mario Badescu drying lotion & the LA pro concealer from www.beautybay.com

blog 2016 18

 First up is this Superdrug naturally radiant Glycolic overnight peel. I had seen someone raving about this on my Instagram and I had also been told Glycolic is good for blemishes and scaring.

Naturally Radiant Glycolic Overnight Peel is formulated with a unique energising complex infused with Kiwi Fruit and Mulberry Extracts to help revive skin’s radiance and even out skin tone. With Glycolic Acid, a powerful Alpha Hydroxy (AHA) and a Fruit Acid blend, the refreshing gel formula also refines and retexturises the skin’s surface, providing a brighter, more youthful complexion. According to the Superdrug website.

Kiwi Fruit Extract has a rich source of Vitamin C, which is renowned for its remarkable ability to help brighten and even out skin tone

Mulberry Fruit Extract has naturally strong brightening properties, which can help to reduce discolouration and even out skin tone.

Glycolic Acid is an effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which retexturises the skin’s surface, helping to fade pigment irregularities and smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a brighter, more youthful complexion.

     directions, you put this on just before bed and leave it on overnight and wash off in the morning.

 I cant wait to try this out, I paid £2.98 for this although it is on offer and is normally £5.99

Superdrug clearly youthful exfoliating cream cleanser £3.69

contains soothing Allantoin and Bisabolol which effectively removes make-up and impurities for a refreshed and radiant complexion.

online it states that Skin should feel softer and smoother, looks clearer and more radiant

After 1 week:
Pores look visibly minimised
Skin looks visibly clearer and healthier

After 2 weeks
Blemishes appear visibly reduced
Skin looks visibly more uniform

Again I picked this up as some one recommended it and because this whole line was on offer, I love anything that states it will help with skin appearance and make my skin more radiant. I have been trying this for the past 2 nights and the only issue I have is the smell. its very strong and not the nicest smell.

This is another Glycolic peel product but its a peel off mask, I was unsure about this as I had already purchased the other Glycolic peel product but it was the last one left and I knew I would regret it if I didn’t get it, this one said it was more for problem skin and blemishes so I really wanted to try it, its currently out of stock online and has really good reviews.

online it states it should Visibly reduces the appearance of blemishes,
Resurfaces skin’s texture, refines pores and evens out skin tone,
Protects against further breakouts with continued use.

Instantly:
Skin feels revitalised
Skin feels softer and smoother

After 1 week:
Pores appear visibly tighter and minimised
Skin looks visibly clearer and healthier

After 4 weeks:
Skin’s texture looks visibly more refined
Fine lines and wrinkles appear visibly reduced

Directions, to apply to clean dry face, leave for 10-15 minutes or until dry and gently peel off mask, use twice weekly.

I actually purchased this Mario Badescu drying lotion on Beauty bay, I had heard so many people say this was brilliant for drying out blemishes, If anyone knows of Desi Perkins on youtube she also raves about this product, it is pricey at £12.50 for 29ml but I wanted to see if this would work for me.

Beauty bays description says its an excellent spot treatment made with a blend of Calamine and Salicylic Acid,  clears up and soothes unsightly whiteheads overnight without irritating surrounding skin. Suitable for all skin types,  provides immediate relief from unsightly whiteheads and pimples; simply dab one drop of the solution on each erupted area overnight to wake up to a clearer, healthier complexion.

now I have been using this for about a week now, and a lot of girls I had spoke to said they had seen results the next day so I was hoping to wake up and see a little difference or at least hoping my skin looked less red and irritated in my problem area. but so far I haven’t seen much of a difference it has maybe dried out a couple but my more irritated blemishes I have on my chin are taking a while to go, over the past year I have been suffering with red painful cysts under the skin rather than say white heads or black heads, I was always lucky growing up I was the one who always had clear nice skin but now 24 I seem to get more spots now then I ever did, I’m actually thinking of going to see someone about this, I mean don’t get me wrong I am lucky in the fact its no where near being acne its just the odd few spots on my chin but its really getting me down. I’m going to stick at using this drying lotion and hope that I see some improvement.

Next I got these new Sleek makeup I-divine palettes in All night long & A new day.

Soon as I saw these I loved them, I love a neutral eye shadow palette, I couldn’t decide between them so I ended up getting both and even better sleek was buy one get one half price so I actually got both for £11.98 each palette is £7.99 each.

Sleek All night Long

blog 2016 8

Sleek A new day

Now they do look really similar but I couldn’t decide as one palette had more matte shades in and the other had a couple more shimmer shades but I think my favourite is A new day. both these palettes have a selection of Smokey nudes, beige, taupe’s, mauves, shimmering gold’s & bronzes, My perfect kind of eye shadows. They are really creamy and pigmented as well, I am thinking of doing a more detailed post on these with swatches and shade names if anyone will be interested.

I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house!

Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻

Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed!

Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
