Avon nail paints in slate grey and satin (matte) topcoat,

£1 Primark Falsies,

Benefit Mini Sampler Set,

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, 

MUA Eye Shadow (love this neutral shade even for eyebrows,)

Revlon ColourBurst Matte Balms in Elusive & Audacious,

Essential handbag antibacterial gel,

Rimmel Accelerator Mascara,

 

Tresemme naturals humidity control mousse (not sure about this after one use...,)

Tresemme waterless foam shampoo - this is certainly a impulse purchase i don't now what i was thinking.

I only ever buy Vo5 when there on offer 2 for £5 so guess what they were on offer! 

It's great to get a bargain as aswell as try new products to include in my non existent hair routine.

Last of all i only bought this because of uglyfaceofbeauty, it's blumming brilliant is all I've got to say!

Over the past few years I've come to love The Body Shop products they are just amazing full of goodness that my skin is crying out for so after trying a few of the smaller sizes i took advantage of the £25 off £50 spend would have been rude not to!

 

N-spa skin treats are currently on offer at asda i always head down the beauty isle and somehow end up needing to pop these bits into my basket so with the health & beauty event happening there was an amazing deal 3 for £10 who could turn that down?

 

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + repurchase!

 

Finally got my hands on the infamous micellar water dupes excited to try these,

 

There we have i spend way more than i expected to but Ive been loving all my new skincare goodies and I'm finally getting round to having a 'proper' routine it's not perfected just yet but I'll be sure to share what works for me soon.

 

Tried any new products you'd recommend?

MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner Black Review

  

Upon purchasing the MUA Eyeliner I thought this would be a great alternative for my ELF Black Liner something that's easier to pick up and for just 50p more I couldn't wait to try it!

 

 Now for me this product seemed exciting it has a large tip which looks super intensely black just what I was looking for. Then I applied it, the colour turned out a black'y/grey, it was slightly difficult to apply and achieve any sort of colour pay off to begin with as the pointed nib was quite stiff while the bottom of it was squishy. Also it was hard layering the colour to make it any darker! This product is certainly not my cup of tea, when something described as black I actually want it to be BLACK not a faded grey colour. For the price of £2 I suppose I shouldn't complain too much but considering other liners just as cheap as this one it's just not for me.

Do you prefer an intense black liner and what's your holy grail eye product!?

What I Bought Haul

I recently went through a stage of buying nothing which was great for my bank balance but not so much for my addiction of buying all things necessary and of course UNnecessary so I give in and bought just a few bits and pieces....

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pore & Shine I've noticed these popping up in blog posts recently and they seemed like they would work for my skin so thought I would try them out. (I'm loving the green'y lime packaging) 

3 for 2 at superdrug / £4.49each

Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match i picked up the one for Dull Skin which is in the orange coloured packaging mainly for the fact is says 24 hour hydration, I can't wait to try it out. They're currently on offer at Superdrug for £3.99! Usually £5.99.

Simple Cleansing Wipes an essential repurchase, they've recently been re-packaged with improved goodness of added vitamins and a newer softer feel oooo'err! 

Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser a definite essential for my skin, I always make sure to pick one up when there on offer just because I like to stock up as well as take advantage of a good deal.

Offer at superdrug for £3 atm!

Garnier Mineral Deodorant I don't know about you but I buy deodorant purely for the smell and for the anti-perspirant properties of course, so when my favourite scent (invisicool) is on offer I always have to stock up. 

MUA fur-effect nails these seemed like a good idea at the time but now not so much.

Models Own Wah Nail Pens after watching many (too many) nail tutorials I was inspired to create some amazing designs on my nails but the amazingness that I saw in my head did not quite go to plan in reality and I failed miserably.

 

I love to read so after a little browse in whsmith' I picked up these two books which were on offer at 2 for £7 a deal I couldn't turn down. The Sophie Kinsella book is my kind of read and as I like lovely bones the film I decided to read the story too.

I'm just a big kid at heart

 I saved the best till last my new shoessssss there a slipper style shoe with studded detail from new look not to everyone's taste I know, but I like them a lot even more so when they were reduced from £24.99 to a reasonable £12! (they look great with a pair of skinny jeans.)

Have you picked up any bargains recently?
