Recent purchases :)

So I thought I'd do a little post about some of the bits & bobs I've purchased lately! Ever since I started my new (and first!) job back in April my shopaholic ways have got worse! But hey, until I have big responsible bills to pay I'm going to enjoy it ;)

So, let's start with my purchases from Boots! My local boots store 'was' about 5 min away from my house. It was super huge & packed full of your big beauty brands: Chanel, Benefit, Clinique, YSL, the list goes on. It had four isles dedicated to every single nail polish brand a girl could dream of, including Essie, Models own, and Barry M. It was just my happy place! I often went in there to just get an essential item and then walk out an hour later with two bags full of lovelies.

This particular Friday me and my mumsie had been for a look around & a spend. We left happily with our four bags & that was that. Little did we know that 24 hours later the store would be burnt to a crisp! I'm the first to admit the sadness I felt when I heard it had burnt down was utterly ridiculous. But, I couldn't help but feel sadness for all the beauty goodies that had been destroyed. On the upside however, my bank balance should benefit from the closure!

Anyway, onto my goodies:










I'm a big fan of my dry shampoo, I honestly think it's a miracle in a can. I've been using the cherry scented Batiste and can fully recommend it, this time I'm giving the floral scent a whirl, i''m impressed so far!
Now I'm back to my blonde ways I fancied having a little dabble into the bronzing world, it's taken me a while to learn how much to apply but I think it just adds a healthy glow to my very pale face.
The deodorant and body spray are my work essentials, I keep them in my draw for a lunch time refresh, my office is VERY warm!






I've heard lots about the tangle teezer lately & I've been excited about trying it out, so when I saw it sat there, calling out my name, I couldn't resist! It fits into the palm of your hand really well so it's helpful for me and my awkward fingers. It really does make your hair feel smoother & less fly away, always a bonus!





To be honest this got my attention because I thought it would help me to get a better lather up with my face wash. I've not been disappointed! It feels really nice on your face, you can also use it to massage your moisturiser in which is a nice relaxing thing to do before bed.











I'm a massive fan of Benefit and I've been needing a new 'That Gal' for quite a while, I couldn't resist the Olympic inspired packaging that Benefit are rocking at the moment!

Finally, I've made my first ever Cath Kidston purchase! I've always been a fan of the pretty Cath prints (much to my other half's disappointment!) so when her sale started I couldn't resist any more.




Such pretty packaging!




And I'm very happy with my new wash bag and pyjama bottoms! :)


Look forward to blogging again soon :)

  3. Batiste is my saviour. I have to wash my hair less because it's quite bright red and as it's short I find myself touching it a lot to style it and what have you so it truly is a god send. I love the cherry and tropical ones!

  4. Soap and Glory can really do no wrong! I did a review on my blog a few days ago on their 'No Clogs Allowed' facial mask scrub and their liquid eyeliner and kohl liner if you want to check it out! I use Benefit - That Gal primer religiously too, such a smooth application!

    Lovely purchases xx
