Shopping the sales

Hi everyone

This seems like a totally pointless post now as these were items I was lucky enough to get my grubby little paws on in the December sales just before my spending ban started in January. Mmmh spending ban, I feel like I am having withdrawals just talking about it infact I am having withdrawals just talking about it, roll on the 1st of February ! Ofcourse the goal then, is not to just spend all the money I would have normally spent in January. Anyway I still want to share my goodies with you and let you know where they came from just incase you can snap up some last minute bargains in the sales.

 

The perfume and lip sets were from The Garden Pharmacy where I believe there are still some items left in stock.

 

Stila Written In The Stars Palette - £11.25

 Laura Mercier La Petite Patisserie Fresh Fig - £20 SpaceNK

Haul

Before you go hitting the shops to purchase the latest beauty products you need to check out Escentual.com.

I recently purchased a few items some of which are re-purchases of products I love and some of which had been on my beauty wish list for an absolute age. The products are all cheaper to buy online and they also have a sale on at the moment so you might get a few bargains. Warning this post is quite picture heavy.

J-Lo Miami Glow - £9.99 for 30ml

I have lost count of the amount of times I have purchased this. This is one of my most favourite perfumes. It is a blend of pink grapefruit, coconut water, cyclamen and vanilla orchid just and is the perfect summery scent.

Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick in Cherry - £13.60 

These lipsticks are amazing to wear - yes they are pretty sheer but give a pop of colour and contain

 Mango Butter which helps repair, nourish and protects your lips against dehydration.

 

 

Clarins Limited Edition Bronzing Duo - £20.80

This super soft bronzing powder will give you an amazing sun kissed glow. Contains an SPF15 and is infused with an exclusive Clarins ingredient which ensures your skin is continually moisturised whilst using it.

This is shade medium.

Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil - £23.20

I have used this product for years - I alternate between this and the Lotus Oil. Both smell amazing but the Blue Orchid Oil will help rebalance your dehydrated skin and leave it feeling radiant and full of moisture. You should use this in the evening following your cleansing routine. Amazing product.

Dior Ultra-Shimmering All Over Face Powder in Amber Diamond - £30.65

The Dior compact is just beautiful and this amazing powder is formulated with mica micro-particles to reflect the light and leave the skin looking extraordinarily radiant. Ive got my eye on the Rose Diamond as well.

Dior Extreme Wear Nail Lacquer in Lucky - £17.15

I love the formula, I love the brush and I love the colour. This is a fantastic nail polish which makes me feel very glam  when Im wearing it. A point to note however the brush is on the large side which I quite like as I have quite big nails - if you have smaller nails you may struggle to achieve a really neat finish with the wider brush size.

So there are my beauty purchases for the month of August.

Hope you enjoyed my haul - would love to hear if you have tried out any of these products and what you thought of them.

Lots of Love

Space NK Goodies

If you like a beauty bargain then head over to Space NK's online store and check out their current sale products.

I managed to pick up a few items for half price (hooray)

Im a bit of a candle freak (lets face it who isnt?) and have been dying to try a Diptique candle for god knows how long so when I noticed the limited edition Perdigone candles on sale I snaffled two - Perdigone has an amazing indulgent spiced plum smell to it which induces thoughts of Christmas and sugar plums. I love the fact that it fills the room with its wonderful perfume even though I havent brought myself to light it yet.

I also purchased the Eve Lom Creme Universelle which can be used for a multitude of things including easing sunburn and intensively conditioning your hair. Im really pleased with my little goodies - the only thing that bothers me is the postage however I did manage to save myself a grand total of £25 by getting these items for half price.

Check out Space NK now and bag yourself some wonderful beauty bargains.

Weekend Haul

Hi everyone

I hope you are all well and that the sun is shining where you are.

We are getting the most amazing sunshine here in Scotland so Ive been trying to make the most of it whilst I can.

I was at the Scottish Beauty Show on Sunday and I have a little haul I wanted to share with you all.

I will be reviewing these items over the next few weeks but couldnt wait to show you all what I purchased - some of the items are for professional use and some of them are just for me. Yay.

The big silver case in the back ground is for some of my pro kit.

I also purchased two of the new Shellac colours in Rubble and Cityscape, two of the new China Glaze polishes from the Hunger Games collection in Dress Me Up and Fast Track, a Konad nail art stamping kit, Dream Weave mascara, Vita Liberta tanning lotion, a Christian Eyebrow palette, five Opi polishes in Gouda Gouda Two Shoes, Bring On The Bling, Pedal Faster Suzi, I Juggle Men and Princesses Rule, three Orli massage candles and an eyebrow palette for myself which I havent pictured. 

Cant wait to show you everything in more detail but for now Im off out to enjoy whats left of the sun - after all it'll probably end up snowing tomorrow ha ha xx

Lots of Love
