Collective Haul : Perfume, Hair and Clothes!

Hullo Ladies!

It's been ages since I posted on here...well less than a week but it seems longer :-) 

I've done a fair amount of shopping lately and I'm going to talk about the products I picked up. 

First stop was ASDA and like always they had a 3 for £10 offer on most of the Hair Care. I noticed a new line there...well I say "line" but my store only had two products from them. 

The GH Great Hair Moisture Drench Shampoo and Conditioner. I didn't recognise the brand but with a closer look it says that they're Manufactured for Baylis and Harding. If you live in the UK you probably know the brand, I don't know If they're sold World Wide,  you usually see them around Christmas time when they have lots of lovely Gift Sets out. These 500ml bottles were £4 and in the 3 for £10 offer so I also picked up the Aussie 3 Minute  Miracle  Reconstructor Deep Conditioner. A favourite of mine. I've tried the other 3 Minute Miracles but I think this one works the best. 

I also picked up some books from the charity shop, two Goddess Summoning Novels by P.C. Cast and Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan. 

I picked up some more Superdrug Facial Cleansing Wipes, they say they are a 4 in 1 wipe: makeup remover, eye makeup remover, toner and moisturiser. I don't know if it does ALL that but I actually really do like these, for 99p you can't go wrong. The yellow pack smells really good too :-) 

I found some Sally Hansen nail polish in Poundland. Not many nice colours there but I did find a pretty one called Good As Grape. I went to Boot's not long after and they were asking for £6.99 for the same polish. BARGAIN! 

If you read my Empties Post last week then you'd know that I've recently finished up a few perfumes. 

I have about 3 other bottles that are on their way out too so I thought It was about time I bought some more...I can't help it, it's an addiction. 

I bought the new Roberto Cavalli Perfume Just Cavalli, I've loved every Cavalli perfume I've ever smelt and this is no different :-) It's more floral than the Roberto Cavalli EDP but I still really like it. I bought the 30ml  from Superdrug for £29.99 

I also bought Nina Ricci Nina L'Elixir perfume from Amazon. It was £27.50  for a 50ml bottle. 

I have to be honest and say that whilst at Superdrug I tested out the new Taylor Swift fragrance and although it just smells like Starbursts to me....I really want it! Couldn't stop smelling my wrist after the shop assistant sprayed it on me. 

My nan took my to New Look for the sale and I have to say I picked up...a lot of things. I do this about twice a year. I'll buy nearly a new wardrobe full of clothes from the New Look Sales. I love them. 

I bought two of these Peplum tops for £4 one in this Indigo Blue colour and one in bright green. It's my first time trying a peplum...anything.....and I really liked it. Shows off my curves and looks great. 

I picked up a tank top, I loved the design, I think it cost £6. 

I picked up two of these zipper detail t-shirts both in white. Great to just use for everyday wear. These were down to £5.

I also picked up a sweater and two pairs of jeans but I've already worn them and they're in the wash so I couldn't take pictures.  Everything I bought from New Look came under £50 which I think is amazing and I would definitely suggest shopping their sales. 

So that's everything I bought recently. 

Have you found any great bargains lately?

Superdrug Haul

Hey Ladies!

Superdrug had a 3 for 2 offer on all makeup this week and I obviously had to take advantage of it :-) 

I know I said 3 for 2 and someone may be saying to themselves "hang on there is 7 products!" well that's because I bought one the day before the offer started. Bad Timing I guess :-(

So the first 3 products I picked up was the Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks. I remember seeing these everywhere when they came out and I've wanted to try them ever since. There's so many to choose from!  I must have ended up with twenty swatches on my hand before I left the store with these three. 

Apparently the collection has three different categories - Preppy, Colour Block and Night Out. Without even realising I was lucky enough to pick up one from each! 

The colours I chose  - 02 - Beige Trench, 11 - Fraise Remix and 13 - Rouge Jet Set. 

Next I picked up the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze. Which is a gorgeous cream eye shadow that can act as a base or just be worn on its own. 

I also picked up the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige. I heard about this on Dailymix Tv the other day so decided to pick it up. I wore it in my inner corner today and really liked it. 

I've always wanted to try the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Blackest Black as it seems to be a cult product, loved by some and hated by others, so I thought I'd give it a go. 

Also the one product I bought the day before the offer started *sigh* was the Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Smokey Eyes Mascara. I'm real low on Mascara so I'm slowly starting to build up my collection again. Even though I didn't get this in the 3 for 2 I still got it on offer as Superdrug had a £3 off Maybelline Mascaras. Mwhahahah! 

So that's pretty much everything I got this week. Have you taken advantage of the Superdrug 3 for 2 offer on at the moment? I love it! 

Hope you all had a great weekend :-)

Weekend Shopping Haul : Superdrug, Debenhams & H+M

Hullo Ladies!

I went shopping with a friend yesterday to Cardiff, I haven't been there in about a year so it was very much needed. 

I knew going that I wanted certain things. 

I'm glad to say I stuck to what I already knew I needed instead of buying loads of impulse buys...although I did have a moment ;-)

First of all we stopped in H+M, I was instantly attracted to the cosmetics and fragrance stand and found these blending sponges. I've wanted one of these for a long time now after hearing so many good things about them and I didn't want to pay for an expensive one. I was lucky to find these at just £1.99 each. So I picked up two! 

We also went to Superdrug and I bought one of the Accessorize Baked Blushes in Sensation. I remember swatching these a long time ago and they looked stunning. Packed full of so much fine shimmer they could pass for highlighters easily! Which is how I used it today ;-) I'm in love!

I've also been dying for some more matte lipsticks and have heard lots of lovely things about the Sleek Matte Lipsticks. I bought Papaya Punch and Heartbreaker. These seem to be lovely lipsticks for just £4.99

Another product I've been wanting for a long time now is the Sleek Blush By 3 Palettes. I picked up Lace and I'm so glad. I'll be reviewing it soon   :-) 

Last but definitely not least was my only impulse buy and It's a Illamasqua Mystery Box from Debenhams. Down to just £17.50 I knew I had to own it. I'll be writing a post soon on what I actually received in my box. 

Hope you have all been having a great weekend. I'm going to be spending the rest of mine curled up with a good book!

She gave me the Pressed Powder as an extra gift, sadly she's had a lot of stuff to deal with lately, I wasn't worried about it coming late but she was very apologetic love her and left me a note attached to this saying that it was a bit of something extra!  

  I've never tried MUA or ELF before so trying them out shall be very exciting!

I loved the box it all came it, it was lovely and girly with little stars and black ribbons.

So as well as that I also went shopping again today, well really I just went into Superdrug to pick up some paracetamol but I couldn't pass the clearance box without having a look and ended up picking up all these lovely gosh products! 

The two eyeliners at the beginning are from the new InStyle magazine, they're giving you a choice of two Body Shop eyeliners or a mascara. 

So from GOSH I picked up:

Green Eyeliner in Green Boost

 I know... Unbelievable! 

These are all the lovely lip products I picked up, the Lip Jams are amazing they smell like Bubblegum..YUM!

"From Top to Bottom: Lip Gloss in 0074, Lip Jam in 106, Lip Jam in 101 and Lip Jam in 102"

I swatched them for ya ;-) 

Look how gorgeous they are and so pigmented!

I'm off for a nice DIY makeover now to calm myself as I have my first driving lesson tomorrow! I can't believe how nervous I am..can you imagine what it would be like when I have to do the test!! God Almighty! 

Hope you have all had a good day!

My Nails Inc Lucky Dip + GOSH Nail Polish Haul :-)

So this morning whilst giving my mam her Birthday presents the post man came with this lovely box of goodies! 

It's my Nails Inc Lucky Dip that I feel like I have been waiting ages for! 

From L-R Chelsea, Paddington, Culross Street, Old Park Lane, Westminster and New Burlington Place"

The only one I don't really love is Paddington but for 6 polishes for £15 you can't go wrong :-) I can't wait for the next one!

"From L- R Rainbow, Vanilla Ice, Pearl and Base1- French Manicure"

So this afternoon, me and my mam went out for a meal in town and I stopped in Superdrug to pick up some nail polish remover and guess what else I found in their Clearance box!

Yes that's right GOSH makeup, most of these nail polishes have been discontinued I think, as I haven't seen them on the actual GOSH stand in awhile.

I actually found the polish Rainbow, which I have heard a lot about online and seems to be craved by a lot of people, I can understand why, it's beautiful! 

The best thing of all....I picked them up for just 99p each!!! 

I know....I can hear your gasps from here :-) amazing right?

So the clearence box in Superdrug is now officially worth looking at :-) I hope they keep it around for some time!

Hope you have all had a great day!

Boots and Superdrug Haul

     

            Hey Everyone,

I stopped in Boots and Superdrug today whilst going into town to get bread. Any excuse eh? ;)


First I went to Boots and picked up the 17 Lip Stain in Cherry Berry, which I have been wanting to try for some time now. Its a lovely red colour.

I was not fussed on getting anything else so I went to the counter to pay for the lip stain and found a clearance basket with a few nail polishes, there was this colour and a gold. I have loads of different gold nail polishes so I decided on this nail polish.

When I took this 17 nail polish to the counter the woman there said that I could still get the "3 for 2" deal so I went back and picked out this polish from Natural Collection.

It's a lovely light pink with a lot of silver shimmer.

Next I went to Superdrug and the first thing I saw was that this St Ives facial scrub was half price. Just £1.97. It's for blemish fighting. Ive nerver tried St Ives before so it will be interesting to see how it holds up to my usual Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It.

Next I spent a good half hour looking for some nail polishes for spring :)

I found some by NYC.

Bubblegum Pink

Lavander Cupcake

Mint Macaroon

I can't wait to try out all these new products, I will have to tell you all about them someday soon :)

Thanks, Linzi xx

REVIEW - Maybelline Nail Polish in Mermaid Blue

Maybellines Mermaid Blue Nail polish is a bright metalic blue, It gives an amazing effect to the nails that is very eye-catching. Everytime I have worn it I've gotten compliments on how interesting it is. Blue nail  polishes are my favorite right now, light blue, dark blue. It doesnt matter, I love them all.

There are many nail polishes like this out there, I think nearly every brand I looked at in Superdrug the other day had an equivalent to it. The day I bought this I was looking at the GOSH nail polish in Ocean but I found this to be an amazingly close match to it and this was cheaper and because I'm still saving for that laptop this seemed more like the sensible buy.

I love the packaging, when I picked it up my mams verdict was that it looked "funky" so there you go, how could I not buy it? :)

One coat held up well but I applied two just for luck, It lasted a good two days on me without a top coat before it started chipping.

This is the type of nail polish that I wouldn't mind wearing during the day or on a night out. I think It's very adaptable and would look lovely with a nice sun dress or even some skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

These nail polishes are £2.99 each.

Thanks, Linzi xx
