Boots/ Soap and Glory Haul

Hi Guys! 

So today I'm going to be discussing my latest Boots/Soap and Glory buys. I bought these a few weeks ago, when Boots had offers on most of the Soap and Glory products. Anyone who knows me will know how much I love this brand. It's my go to brand for good moisturisers and skincare products, and for every birthday and Christmas present I was end up with some form of Soap and Glory Product, so I was so excited when this arrived!

I'm so awful and didn't write down how much I paid for everything, and I can't get back to the emails from when I ordered it (thanks technology), so I wont be able to list how much I paid. Sorry! 

So as well as there being offers on the products, I do remember at the time there was a special offer where if you spent £15(?) on make-up, you received a free gift which I was so down for. I already knew I loved the Thick and Fast Mascara and the Supercat Eyeliner, and was so excited to try the Pillow Plumper XL. I can honestly say I love everything that came in this gift and I use the products nearly every day.

Who doesn't love a free gift?

For skincare I bought the Speed Plump All Day Moisturiser. I received a Soap and Glory gift set for Christmas just gone, and this moisturiser was in the set so I knew I liked using this product based on past experience. I'd used it for a while before it ran out, and after I stopped using it I definitely noticed a different to my skin and the reappearance of dry patches, which has since gone away since using it again. Also, this product works really well as a primer as it makes your face feel quite tacky after application, making your foundation stick to it which I found very interesting! 

I also bought the One Heck of a Blot Primer after hearing good things about it. When I first started using this primer, I was impressed with how my foundation looked when applied. However, part of me is now thinking that I wanted this product to work so much I fooled myself into believing it was amazing, as after a few hours my oils are breaking through my foundation. This primer would probably work a lot better for someone who's skin isn't as oily as mine!

And finally, I bought the Smoulder Kohl Waterproof eyeliner in a dark brown. Again I had high hopes for this as I'm a big fan of the Supercat eyeliner as was expecting another great eyeliner. While it is a really nice shade of brown, nothing about this eyeliner wows me as it is literally just an eyeliner. However, I can'r fault it and maybe I should just lower my expectations. 

Oh and lovely lovely Boots sent a free sample of the Black Opium perfume from Yves Saint Laurent. I had never tried this perfume before, but now I'm absolutely in love with this and I will treasure the sample forever as there is no way I'd be able to afford a full bottle for myself :(

So there was my Boots/ Soap and Glory Haul. Thank you guys so much for reading if you made it this far, and as always any comments are appreciated. I would absolutely love to know what your favourite Soap and Glory products are! Thanks xxx

Birthday Haul

Hi Guys!

So I know  I haven't done a post in a while, real life just became crazy and I've struggled to even find the time to sit and relax, never mind typing an entire post out! However, it was my 21st birthday a couple of weeks ago so my boyfriend took me to Merry Hill (hell) for a shopping day. I spent a lot of money and bought loads of new goodies which I wanted to share.

So this is all the make-up bits I brought! I ended up going into so many shops throughout the day by the end I needed a looong rest (and so did Ollie). I brought loads of clothes as well, but I didn't take any photos of those. I apologize for some of the flash in the photos, all my photos are currently taken using my Note 4 so if I have limited daylight the flash has to come out!

So I got this from the Kiko shop in Merry Hill. Online, it's priced up as £9.90 on their website, but i found it for a lot less in the shops. I think it was around £4.00, but am unsure. You can find this product here. I will include a full review of this mascara on my blog soon so keep your eyes peeled!

I have an issue with mascaras. I purchased this Models Own mascara from Superdrug, and it can also be found on their website (here). It's displayed as £6.99 for the mascara and £1.99 for the wand, but again I know I paid a lot less for this in store. I love the idea of being able to customise your own mascara so was so happy when Ollie pointed this out to me! Full review to follow soon.

I also picked this Revolution kit up in Superdrug. This is listed as £6.00 on their website. I chose the shade Echelon, and am so in love with this shade. However, I'm not as over struck on the product in general. I will post a full review of this product soon where i share all my thoughts on this. 

And finally... I love a good false nail, but they're not always practical in my job, so I prefer using stick on nails for when it's the school holidays. 

I did pick up some other bits which you can see in the first photo, but did not take separate photos of these items. I should be posting some full reviews of these items once I've had time to full test them out.

And if you have made it to the end, well done and thank you so much! As always any comments are appreciated, and I would love to hear your thoughts below!xx
