Beauty Haul

 
 
 
I thought I will do a beauty haul as I have got a few new things and I have also tried some of them out too, which is why I thought I will be able to give some reviews about some of the products.
 
 
 
I will firstly start off with MAC, now I went into MAC looking for the Fix + spray but they didn't have any in stock so I headed over to the lipstick counter and started looking for a nude colour lipstick, now because of my skin colour some lipsticks tend to look weird and drown out my skin colour making me look pale. I didn't want this so I chose this lipstick:
 

 
It might look pink but trust me it is a nudey colour, I loved this colour as it stood out and was different from the rest, I tried some on and it did look as if it was my natural lip colour but at the same time it looked as if I had a bit of colour on my lips.
 
So that was a good buy!
 
 
I then went to lush after a few clothes shops and started talking to the sales assistant, I told her I have relatively dry skin and its getting abit worse on my arms and it is starting to creep up to my face now, which I was very conscious about.
She gave me soo many samples!!! it was good to try them out first then buying the product.
 
 
She was so lovely and did everything to help me and told me to go with a product called "Skindrink" its a moisturiser for the face and I have tried this out day and night and I must say it is brilliant!! I love this, I put this on before bed and in the morning again before I put my makeup on and it gives a nice start to my makeup and making my face feel smooth.
I will be going back and buying that next time!
 
The next one I tried was the dream cream, now I cant really see a difference between this and my dove body cream, which is a shame but I prefer the dove one more as I think the smell is better. Sorry Dream Cream!
 
I have slightly tried the Ocean Salt, it is a scrub made with natural preserving's, but I don't like the smell!! I think its a bit too strong for my liking and I guess I can use it if I don't breathe in the smell!
 
I haven't tried Grease Lighting yet as (touch wood) I haven't had any nasty spots come through, but I'am hoping that it will come in handy once my spots return!
 
The last product is let the good times roll! it is an exfoliator where you mix it with water and scrub onto to your skin, again I haven't given this ago but I reckon I will on the weekend.
 
 
 
Now, I did buy a product from lush, it is for your scalp and it treats dandruff and other scalp problems.
I wanted to use it because I felt as if my scalp was getting abit dry and I wanted to keep my scalp nourished and moisturised.
 
 
 
 
I have used this product and it cost me £12.00 and I love it! It keeps my scalp fresh and moisturised and I pop on abit before I shampoo my hair, I have even left it overnight too!!
 
The down side is the SMELL!!! I don't know what it is but I hate it!! But I love the product so that counts more!!!

OOTD: Blue Lime


I haven't done an OOTD for ages, so I thought I would blog about my outfit that I wore yesterday and for the first time I felt comfortable and funky.

Although my top has that jumper look, it is actually really light wear and I was super cool all day! I didn't feel hot once and the colour attracted a lot of bees but hey at least it attracted something ;)

The jumper top thing was originally £38.00 from Oasis but I got it for £10.00 in the sale! Bargain! I loved it so much that I got the same top/jumper in white and that was only £7.00.
I think they will look great with jeans, printed trousers and midi skirts, its just one key essential item of clothing you will need in your wardrobe for all seasons and it just goes with everything.

The jeans are not new, but I got them a while back from Topshop. They are in a acid wash and gives a good dimension of colour and shade. It goes great with the lime colour as it looks trendy and gives a funky vibe. I think the jeans were around £36.00 something like that.


The shoes are also from Topshop and are in this camel colour, they are a double geek bar shoes. I got these shoes in the sale for about £15.00. I noticed that similar shoes in black where sold out and these were still in stock, I think black is a safe colour and goes with anything but I wanted something different and sometimes you need to be brave and try a different colour.

The bag is "Pull & Bear" from ASOS, I like the quilt effect and the chain detailing. I thought I would get a lighter bag for the weekend as carrying a big bag all the time is just too much and annoying! his bag was only £9.50 in the sale which was a real bargain!

The watch is from Guess and its a gift, it has brown straps and a big dial face which is exactly what I like, I'am not too keen on gold or silver watches that have a metal strap. This watch can be worn everyday with anything.






And that's it for my OOTD.
