♡ Haul - Primark, Superdrug & Benefit ♡

 Nothing better than going on a lovely shopping trip with Lucy to end 2015. 


Primark -  
 
 I have wanted a Thermal Mug for a while now, because there is nothing better than a hot chocolate in the mornings, so now I can take my drink with me on my way to college, plus how pretty is the pattern on this one! 

£3.00 
 

 Once again the sock monster has come and taken some of my socks leaving me with odd socks, so I brought was more hopefully these will stick around! 

I thought the pattern on these are really cute! 

£2.50 

 The main reason I went to Primark was to get some PJ bottoms, and I found these, not only are they the cutest things, but they were also in the sale, so I couldn't say no... right? 

£3.00 


  
I have been on the look out for a pair of boots for a while as my current ones are falling apart! 

I found these, which I was surprised by how nice they were, for some reason, the 'wide fit' fitted me better than then normal boots, which is very weird because I have quite narrow feet. 
They have a slight heel, they are very comfortable! 

£15.00 

 The last thing I picked up form Primark, were these fairy lights, I swear every time I go to Primark I always get lights! 

These are have really cute butterflies and flowers on. They are battery powered, which is great if you don't want wires running across the floor. 

£3.00 

Benefit - 


 AHH! I finally bit the bullet and got the Hoola Bronzer, everyone is always saying how amazing this is, and I can totally agree, It blends so easily and creates a lovely finish! 

It is pretty expensive for a bronzer, but from the reviews I have heard it lasts a long time and is worth the money. 

£23.50



Of course I went to superdrug to look at the makeup, as I did need a new concealer, I wanted the try something new and I have heard many people say they love the Maybelline The Eraser Eye Concealer, so far I really like it. 

£7.99

I have also wanted to try the Maybelline Lash Sensation, as everyone has said its amazing and like Roller Lash, as I love Roller Lash but it is more on the pricier side, I thought I would try this Mascara as an cheaper option, I am yet to try it, but will let you know my thoughts once I have! 

£7.99
 
Maybelline currently have a 3 for 2 offer, so after about 20 minutes of deciding what my third product would be, I finally picked the Baby Skin, again people have said this like Benefit porefessional, I have tried this, but I haven't decided if I liked it or not, once I have tried it properly, I will share my thoughts. 

£7.99 
(but was free because of the 3 for 2 offer!)

Then because I brought three Items you got a free gift, which was a nail set, with a red and then gold there were also the options for sliver or white, but I love red and gold nails :) 

Thank you for reading!

☃ Blogmas Day 5 - Gift Guide for Her ☃

Gift Guide for Her



Viktor Rolf eau de parfum perfume / Benefit beauty product, £33 / Gift sets kit / Pandora sterling silver bead charm, £125 / Pandora polish jewelry, £49 / Pandora sterling silver enamel charm, £33 / Pandora sterling silver jewellery, £20 / Yankee Candle christmas holiday decor, £8.00 / Christmas holiday decoration, £6.64 / Christmas holiday decoration

This is part two, to my Christmas gift guide series! 

'GIFT GUIDE FOR HER' 

I have put together a few things that I would personal love to receive for Christmas and a few things that I have brought for friends and family, I tried to include gifts of different price ranges, so there is something for everyone! 

Pandora - I find this is the place to go to get girls a nice pretty gift, they do different things at different prices, so i find it is a flexible place to go. I personal have a Pandora charm bracelet and I know a few friends that do as well, I also think its nice to get someone a little charm to add to their collection, Pandora have the cutest Christmas range as well, I would highly recommend going to have a look! 

If you wanted to get a really nice gift from Pandora for maybe a family member or partner, they also have some lovely rings, which range in prices, from around £20 +, again this would make a lovely gift. 


I also think perfume is a lovely gift idea for a girl as perfume is something girls don't really treat themselves to, the perfume I have included is one on my Christmas wishlist this year. I know perfume can be hard to buy for someone else as everything prefers different perfumes, so I would probably recommend finding out what the person likes before buying.

Gift sets area perfect present for someone, as they get a range of different things together, which I find a good thing as you get to try different products, there are some amazing gift sets around at the moment, boots have some good ones for example Soap & Glory and Benefit. 

Candles are also a really nice gift as well to give anyone, as there is such a range of different candles around, plus there are some amazing Christmas candles out at the moment! 


Thank you for reading.

I hope this post helped come up with some ideas :)

♡ Review - Benefit Roller Lash ♡

 Benefit Roller Lash - Review!

Benefit roller lash has been a very popular mascara in the blogging and YouTube world. It's a bit on the pricey side of mascaras at £19.50, But seeming the quality of the mascara it has been worth the money.  


The thing that first caught my eye about the roller lash, is the packaging even the box it comes in is beautiful and so elegant and put together. I find the package of the mascara is quiet retro, the pink lid is very similar to the hair curlers in the 1960s.
 

The wand is plastic which I know people can have a love hate relationship with, I personally love plastic wands, I think they help make my eye lashes look so much longer and fuller, the wand has little hooks which grab the lashes and lifts them which i know sounds painfully but I promise it isn't, I have found that it really does curl my lashes,and makes my eyes look a lot more open. Part of the selling point for Roller Lash, they have said you don't need to use curlers, which I haven't used when using Roller Lash. 
 Roller Lash formula is amazing its not dry, as I find a lot of mascaras can be quiet dry, and weigh down my lashes down, but I have found the Roller Lash you can barely feel like you're wearing mascara.
 

I would highly recommend Roller Lash to anyone, I even recommended it to my mum who has said she has really noticed a difference in the way her eyelashes look, when wearing it.

Thank you for reading!

♡ My Everyday Makeup ♡

This is my everyday makeup routine, that i wear on most days however I do change up my eyes and lips depending on how I am feeling, But I'm just going to show you my typical everyday makeup. I use this look for College as it's quick and easy.


I first start off with my base which I use Bourjois Healthy mix serum foundation and I use the Real Technique Stippling Brush to apply it. 

I love this foundation as it has a light coverage which I love as I like my base to be a natural as possible but have a little bit of coverage.

 Next I apply Rimmle Stay Matt Powder to the T-Zone of my face to get rid of any shine and to keep my makeup in place and I use my ecotools powder brush to apply it.

This powder is amazing, it sets my makeup in place and gives your skin that finished look.


 I then go onto my eyes and as a base I love these two Colour Tattoos from Maybelline for everyday makeup, if I want light makeup I use the one on the left which is Pink Gold and if I want a darker makeup look I use the one on the right which is On and On Bronze.

 I then use my Naked Basic Palette, and I use the colours Venus (The lightest colour) in the corner of my eyes to brighten them, and then Faint (Second from Right Colour) in the crease on my eye. I use the Real Techniques shading Brush to apply the eye shadow. 

 For mascaras I use, the big eye's small brush to do my lower lashes and then Benefit they're Real! On my top lashes.

On my lips I use EOS balm as a base and then I have been really liking the Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Smile, Dream, Sprinkle over the top.
