Models Own: Yet another haul!

Hello my lovlies! 

I know, not another haul right?! I think I need to get my spending under control! However when the sales lady says, 'did you know if you buy 6 polishes you'll get them for £15?' And then you think wow! That's a bargain! Walk round pick your polishes and then she says 'You've got one nail treatment there, you can get another colour and then get another nail treatment, then you'll get 2 nail treatments for £5' how could I say no?

Here is Sardonyx from the Velvet Goth collection, I love this colour! So so stunning, I wore this on New Years :) 

Here is Absinthe from the Velvet Goth collection. Now I must admit, This is a colour I'm not sure I'll wear, I bought this to complete the Velvet Goth collection and because the boyfriend picked it as green his is favourite colour! However, when swatched, it's pretty stunning!

Amethyst from the Velvet Goth collection. My birthstone, and a super beautiful purple! 

Here is Magenta Divine from the Glitter collection, one word, LOVE! 

Northern Lights from the Wonderland collection. This is so stunning on! I might just have to complete the Wonderland collection now... I think I'm addicted! 

Scarlet Sparkle. Now Jake chose this, and I said 'I don't think red really suits me' to which he replied 'Mary, if you're not wear black, grey or white, you wear red, or a variation of red like burgundy, your favourite colour is red and you have a red car' Sometimes I do make myself wonder! 

I chose the 5 in 1 base and top coat and the express dry, as I find some of the glitter polishes from Models own to be pretty thick and they take forever to dry, this should come in handy! 

Swatches and reviews will be up soon :)

Do you have a favourite Models Own polish I should check out? 

Until next time

Lush: 50% off Sale Haul!

Hello my lovlies :)

Today I have for you a little Lush Haul I ordered on Boxing day, and arrived on the 3rd. I couldn't say no, despite getting a Lush gift set for Christmas ;) You can never have enough, and a sale is always a good excuse to try new things, am I right? ;) 

First off, I love the box, is that strange? Inside it tell you how to recycle the packaging, I didn't even realise them wotsit type things are actually made of potato starch and can be put in compost or plant post.. Who knew that?! 

Firstly, I got theTea Tree Water Toner, my skin has been a little crazy these past couple months, so I thought it was worth a try! I bought the big size, because...Why not?! Which retails at £7.50, I paid £3.75, which is cheaper than the 100g! 

Next is Grease Lightening Spot Treatment, I got this for the above reason ^ I've gone from having no more than about 3 spots at a time, to having god knows how many, and they are very painful! Anything is worth a go to get rid! This retails at £5.95, and I paid £2.97. Not a bad price! Lets hope it works.. I've been using it a couple of days, I think I'll review it in a few weeks. 

Does this really need an introduction?! I was after the big size but they were bought up whilst I was picking my other products :( I paid £1.75 so I think it was £3.50 at full price? I love the smell of this so much, it just makes me happy! Yum.

 

Next is Cinders Bath Bomb, I love love loveee the smell of this! Although it seems smaller this year? These were retailed at £2.45 and I paid £1.22. Woooop! 

Next is the Shoot For The Stars Ballistic. Isn't this pretty? I saw a picture of this in someone bath on youtube, maybe? And it made it such a pretty colour I couldn't resist it! It retails at £3.35 and I paid £1.62.

Here is the So White Bath Bomb, I saw that this is one of Zoe AKA Zoella favourite's from Lush so I though it was worth a buy! It retailed at £3.25 and I bought it for £1.62.

Next is the Bombardino, how cute?! He looks like he should be in a Mario game :) This retails at £2.50 and cost me £1.25

Here is my beloved Ma Bar. I haven't been able to find it anywhere, yet when I was scrolling through the sale items, there it was! Can I find it again of the Lush website? No! It's unavailable again :( I should of bought more! I paid £1.75, so I guess it was  £3.50 full price, if you can get it? :( 

I think I may prefer buying Lush products online? I mean, yes you have to pay £3.95 postage (so part of what I saved doesn't exactly count, I will be reusing the box and Ecoflo though!) but I like that they come individually wrapped in the 'Cellulose' packaging to help them keep fresh, even though there's a split in my Shoot For The Stars one! Plus it saves me getting stuck in hours of traffic to get 15mins down the road and then not be able to buy anything!  Although I also like smelling literally everything, until I get a headache :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post! What did you get in the sales? 

Until next time

Models Own: Haul!

Hello my lovlies :)

Today I have for you a Models Own haul. A little while back they had a 6 for £20 code, I couldn't pass up the chance, and unsurprisingly to most all but one are glittery! 

Here is Obsidian, it's a beautiful black with chunks of gold glitter with little glitter pieces. It has a velvet lid as it's part of the 'Velvet Goth' range.

Here is Valerian, a stunning dark blue base with medium and small pieces of blue glitter. I'm currently wearing this as it was the big 50th anniversary of Doctor Who yesterday! Did you watch it? It was amaaaazing! This has a dark blue velvet lid as it's part of the 'Velvet Goth' range too.

Here is the ever so popular, Utopia. I thought it was going to be a lot more neutral but it's a sort of dusky pink colour. Beautiful none the less! I bought this to wear with the next to glitter polishes.

Here is Snowflakes. It is super super stunning! It's got big shards or iridescent glitter. It looks like huge shards of ice! So beautiful. This is part of the Wonderland collection, couldn't pass this up! Can't wait to wear this at Christmas.

This is Jack Frost, it's packed full of iridescent glitter. I'm considering wearing this for Christmas too, decisions! 

This is Mermaid Tears from the Splash collection. I could not, not buy this! I love mermaids :) It super super pretty. It's like a summer version of Snowflakes. It's in a pale purple base, which the camera doesn't pick up. It has big blue shards of glitteryness. :)

Now this all should of come to £30/£25 (if you buy 5 on the website you save £5), but it was just £20 with the code! Even with just a £5 it was worth it in my eyes. I will post up swatches soon. If you want to see any reviews then let me know! 

I'm not to sure what will be next. maybe the E.L.F Baked eyeshadow palette from my haul?

Until next time!

Here is a photo of my little helper, Milo :) When ever I'm blogging in the conservatory he always comes to see what I'm up to! I'm a bit confused as to where he found that plastic on his nose! 

George: Limited Edition Glitter Polishes Haul & Swatches!

Hello my lovlies! 

Today I have for you a little glitter haul :) 

A couple of weeks ago, George at Asda bought out 4 new limited edition glitter polishes, only 7000 have been made of these so when they're gone, they're gone! 

As a sucker for glitter I couldn't not buy them ;) so here they are;

Ruby Slippers

A beautiful multi-sized red glitter polish, now I would use this as a top coat, however they tell you to use 2-3 coats, and so I have shown you what it looks like with 3 coats. It doesn't exactly cover fully, I'm not too sure how this would dry if you put any more layers on? This will be fab for Christmas! Then again, all these polishes would be. 

 This is another matte glitter polish that looks like L'Oreal Confetti, however, this has tiny tiny little flecks of green glitter, which you can just about see in the close up of the bottle. This makes it a lot less 'flat'. They again suggested 2-3 coats with this, however, it doesn't exactly cover well, I think this looks better as a single layer top coat.

Ice Queen

This definitely fits the name! It looks like little shreds of multicoloured ice, a sure Christmas party top coat! I again did the 3 layers as suggested however, it's not really my cup of tea like that, and it didn't really dry very nicely. I think it'll be better just having one coat and then sort of patting on where you feel necessary.

Glitter Bomb

A three sized glitter polish consisting of pink, light blue, green, silver and gold. It seriously is a Glitter Bomb and I'm in love! It looks like confetti from a pinata or like when you see them parties on telly with the disco ball and then all the glitter comes down over the dance floor ;) I think this has to be my favourite!

Now all these polishes are £3 each which is a good buy in my eyes! 

I can't wait to try them all out. Let me know if you want any reviews :) 

I'm also thinking of doing a dupes post as I have a similar polish to Ice Queen and I have the L'oreal Confetti which is quite obviously close to Dotty. Let me know if you've seen any others? 

Until next time!

ELF: 50% off Haul

Hello my lovlies! I am back..

I'm sorry I've had a rather big break (again!?), a lot has gone on, we recently had a new conservatory built, I got another job, ones of my dogs died :( and I got engaged, amongst trying to do my nail course(And not really finding time for that either) so I have been very busy! 

I am determined to do at least one blog post a weekish? Just until I attempt to finish my nail course. :)

Anyway, I recently made a mediumish ELF haul due to a lovely 50% off code last week :) so here it is! 

I bought:

-Small Stipple Brush

-Zit Zapper

-Fairy Dust, Glamour Girl and Sea Escape  Nail Polish

-3 Nail Polish set in Glam Bam & Mysterious (Christmas pressie!)

-Therapeautic Conditioning Lip Balm in Strawberry, Vanilla & Blackberry Creme

-Maximum Coverage Concealer in Porcelain

-Studio Eyebrow kit in Light

It should of come to nearly £60 but I paid just over £30! Bargain :D

I'm planning on doing seperate reviews & swatches, if there's anything you'd like to see, then please let me in the comments. A little George polish haul & swatch post will be up next I think, and I'm currently waiting for a Models Own haul to arrive. :) 

Hope you've all been well! 

Until next time

Max Factor: Mini Boots Haul + Free Goodies!

Hello my lovlies!

Today I have for you another little haul.

I bought this all at the airport before my flight, as I was in need of a waterproof mascara, and the one I had got before was rubbish. I then noticed that if you spent at least £15 on on Max Factor products you get a little box of goodies for free. I couldn't resist! Apologies for the state of the box, it got a bit battered in my suitcase :( 

Masterpiece Waterproof Mascara: £9.99

Really pleased with this purchase, I'll be reviewing this soon, just need to take a few photos first. :)

Glossfinity Nail Polish in 55 Angel Nails: £5.99

There wasn't much of a choice, this was probably the one I'd wear mostly out of the ones they had. I was after a new liquid eyeliner but none of them were sealed (one of my peeves! Why have they stopped putting the cellophane on make up! I would like to know if the makeup I'm thinking of purchasing has been infected by people! Rant over :P).

Now onto this little beauty. I was a little dubious of getting it at first, but when I saw what was in it, I definitely couldn't resist.

Colour Elixir Giant Pen Stick in Foxy Amber. This is a full size which retails for £6.99 in Boots.

I haven't warn this yet but I've swatched it on my hand, it's a pretty pinky red shade. Perfect for summer :) 

Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in Deep Coral. This is also a full size and retails £3.99.

I wouldn't normally go for a polish this shade, however I've swatched it on a nail wheel and it's a super beautiful orangey red. Will have to see if it suits my skin tone though.

Max Effect Mono Eye Shadow in Creme Champagne. This is once again, a full size, which retails at £4.99.

This is another beautiful colour! Looking forward to trying this out.

 Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition Mascara. This is a sample size of 5.3ml. The full size retails for £9.99. So the sample is worth around £7? (According to the boots website its £13.88 per 10 ml.)

I haven't tried this out, but I've heard a lot of great things about Max Factor mascaras. 

All in all I think this was a pretty successful haul! A lot of exciting things to try :)

And with about £23ish worth of free products? Not too shabby, I must say! 

Until next time

MUA: Mini Haul

Hello my lovlies :)
Today I have for you a tiny MUA haul.

I mainly put in this purchase because I wanted to try out their new Power Pouts and Undress Me Too palette but then I couldn't have it on £9 because I dislike odd numbers so I decided to try the eyebrow pencil too.

I have been eyeing up this palette for a little while as it's been described as a dupe for the Naked 2 palette, and I haven't had the guts to splurge on that yet. I paid £3 for this however I think it's £4 in store.

I have been wanting to get my mitts of these for agggges as I don't want to splurge on the Clinique Chubby sticks that seem to be similar. I wanted to buy all of them but I limitted myself to two to see how I get on with them. These are £3 each.

I've been looking for a nice shade of blonde for my brows as a lot are too dark. I've had a few tries with this so I *should* have a review and swatch post for you soon. This is £1.

You can buy MUA on their website and in/online at Superdrug.
I ordered on the MUA website and I must admit, the delivery was pretty slow, and I mainly put the order in so I could get the Power Pouts before they were in the shop... I don't think it worked out that way though :/ never mind.

Until next time

Boots & Superdrug: Mini 'Drugstore' Haul #2

Hello my lovlies! 

Today I have for you a little 'drugstore' haul for you. 

I bought the TRESemmé hair products from Superdrug and the other bits from Boots.

I decided to buy these as I'm running out of my current Aussie hair products and I feel like I still haven't found my favourite yet. Having coloured blonde hair which is very fine, it's slightly dry and damaged, despite using barely any heat on it, and when I do, it's completely frazzles it, making me regret going near my hair with anything hot! And that's despite me using a heat protectant oil, and a spray in one too. :(

 I've seen a few good things about these products to I'm excited to try these. TRESemmé is currently half price in Superdrug so I got these all for £7.85 instead of £15.97 

which is a right result!

I got these bad boys in Boots as there is currently a 3 for 2 going on. The Collection 2000 concealer is a repurchase, I bought the Rimmel Scandal Eyes waterproof pencil in Nude because I saw it in a haul on Beauty Crush's channel (click for the haul video here) and the Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake, on a bit of a whim really! I've been looking at them for a long time and seen so much hype for ages so I couldn't resist any longer! 

I bought all these for £12.18 instead of £16.17 which is a bargain too! 

I love buying new products when they're offers on in case they aren't my cup of tea, so then I don't get too disappointed. :)

If you'd like to see any reviews/swatches then do let me know!

Until next time

xoxo.

Soap & Glory: Best Of All Indulgence Kit

Hello my lovlies :)

Today I have yet another post I should of done at the end of last year, but I did want to wait to do a lot of posts until I got a new camera. So here is my first post with pictures taken on my new camera! I still have a few posts I need to do with photos I've taken before, plus I'm still getting used to the new camera, but I am getting there! 

Back in December I took advantage of Boots offering the 'Best Of All' Bag for something like£27 instead of the original price of £60. Such a bargain! I know they had one the year before, for less? But £27 is not a bad price at all. I'm pretty sure this has been blogged about loads, but one more can't hurt! 

The nice bag this will come in handy when I go to Malta in May, as it's just the right size for hand luggage.

All the products that came in it, including a little voucher booklet, that I keep forgetting about!

I am always forgetting to moisturise my skin, when really it does need it as it does become quite dry, particularly on the tops of my arms, hopefully I'll remember to use it more. It really is a huge bottle it's going to last me forever! 

I'm just about running out of my current shower gel, so that was a result! Again this is a huge bottle, this is going to last me absolutely ages.

One of the main this I was excited to try, I've seen about that it works a bit better as a mask, so we'll have to see.

I have seen this a lot on the interweb, so I'm rather excited to try this. It smells of limes, amazing :) 

I think this will be good for the dry patches on my arms and maybe my legs too. I've got high expectations for this! 

Doing a job where I'm on my feet with barely any movement for quite a while plays havoc with my feet, this will hopefully give them the tlc they need. :) 

At work I'm always washing my hands and wearing gloves which really dries my hands out, so this should be rather handy! (get it? haha.)

I wish my lips looked a little bit fuller, so this should hopefully help make them look a little nicer. 

I've used this mascara before when I got on in a magazine sometime last year. For some reason I like it a lot more this time around. I don't know if they've changed the formula or I just got a dodgey one last time, but this really is a little gem.

I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to go about reviewing these, but I will link them here anyway. I've only ever tried the 'Thick & Fast' Mascara from the entire Soap & Glory range so it's all rather exciting! 

Until next time,

xoxo.
