New Beauty Purchases

                    

Hiya! I wanted to share a few of my recent purchases of items that I've not tried before. Can I just say......all of these are amazing!

First is a bath and shower wash from the brand "The Candy Jar". This one is in the scent "marsh mallow hearts" and o.m.g this smells soooooo good! It smells exactly as it says, marsh mallows, I just wanna eat it!! This brand also does lots of other scents so you need to go check them out cause they all smell so good. I think these are normally about £3.99 but I got it when it was on sale for £1.99 so I couldn't resist!

Next up is the new Vaseline Body Spray Moisturiser in Cocoa Butter. Let me just say....I am super impressed with this! I already love the vaseline lip balm in cocoa butter so I wanted to try this. I love everything about it! It sprays on so so SO well and rubs in really fast! The smell lasts pretty much all day. I must get weird looks when I'm at work cause I'm always smelling my arm to smell it haha! It reminds me of being on holiday, I honestly can't stress how amazing I think this is! It is a bit pricey at £4.99 but it's a big can and will last a while so I think it's worth it :)

I loved it so much I also got in the non spray version. What can I say? I love the stuff! Haha! This was on sale for only £1.50 so I couldn't resist! I haven't tried it from this bottle yet as I love the spray one so much so I don't know what this one is like for rubbing in and how quickly it does. I'll keep ya posted when I find out ;)

Last up is the Witch Blemish Stick. This was a last minute grab to be honest. A customer asked me if we sold it so I showed her where it was on the shelf and basically picked one up for myself too. I don't get spots very often as I guess I'm quite good my skin with not wearing make-up but I do get the odd couple every now and again. I'm really liking this so far and I have definitely seen a difference within the first week of trying this. Not expensive at all and it will last for quite a long time.

May Glossy Box 2014 - 50 Years Of Superdrug

                              

Hey! If you're wondering what happened to my April glossy box post well I was a noob and lost my purse when I was on a night out so when the payment was due for that month I hadn't got my new bank card through so didn't have a method of payment to pay for it so I cancelled my subscription with glossybox. I told myself that I wasn't going to subscribe again since I've moved in with my boyfriend and now have bills to pay for but I couldn't resist!! Hahaha! So yeah, I subscribed again and now it's gone up to £13.95 a month which was a bit of a bummer but never mind. 

I was excited to see that this month they were collaborating with someone, and that someone just happened to be Superdrug! In my last post I wrote about Superdrug being 50 years old and they had some products that were brought out specifically for it. 

I'm not overly excited about the contents in my box as I received 2 make up items and I don't wear make up which makes me think they don't actually pay attention to the beauty profile they get you to fill out. However, there are 4 full sizes, 1 sample sized and 2 bonus samples. Anyways....here's what I got :)

Blowpro - After blow strong hold finishing spray

"Don't let the English weather make your hair-don't with blowpro's strong hold finishing spray. It conditions while it sets to provide you with a super woman-esque super-hold on your hair."

I'm quite excited about this one actually so can't wait to try this! This is a sample size.

Application - "Keeping the can 6-8 inches away from your hair, spray evenly acorss your style keeping the can in constant motion."

Full size - £11.99 for 283ml                              Shop at - www.superdrug.com

B. Complete Long-lasting Nail Polish 

"B.Complete provides intense colour with a high shine finish and has a wide brush providing a smooth and quick professional finish."

Was very happy to see a nail polish in the box as I love nail polish but this colour has probably got to be the worst colour ever! I wont use this! I've already received one of these nail polishes and it was in a great pink colour and I loved it.

Application - "Apply two coats of your favourite colour over B. First Base Coat. Allow time to dry between each coat."

Full size - £4.99 for 8ml                                     Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Scholl - Velvet Smooth Overnight Mask

"This night mask hydrates for up to 24 hours to give you soft beautiful feet while you sleep."

Meh....I might use this :P

I Love Cosmetics - Strawberries & Milkshake Shinner & Shine Lip Gloss

"Feel scrumptious with a burst of fresh strawberries and smooth yummy milkshake."

Wont use this as I don't like lip glosses! It does smell amazing though!

Application - "Smooth on to add a shimmery summer look to your lips."

Full size - £1.29 for 15ml                                    Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Collection - Bronze Glow Mosaic

"Get an all-year round natural-looking tan with a sweep of Bronze Glow Mosaic. Add a sunkissed shimmer of colour to highlight the face and body and add contouring to cheeks and collar bones."

Will not use this such a waste :(

Garnier - Oil Beauty Lotion

"Infused with argan, macademia, almond and rose oil the Oil Beauty Lotion helps replenish the skin with moisture and reinforce its barrier function to prevent it from feeling dry, leaving your skin feeling softer and silky-smooth."

This sounds really good so will def try this out although it's only a foil packet which will only last one try.

Ghost Fragances - Eclipse

"Capturing the warm energy of the sun, Ghost Eclipse evokes feelings of carefree abandon. Get lost in the moment and lift our spirits with this intoxicating and addictive fruity-floral fragrance."

February Glossy Box 2014 - Valentines Edition

Hey! I am so excited to share with you guys what I got in my February glossy box!! It's been one of my fave ones.......actually probably my fave one yet and to make it even better it was free as I had my glossy dots to redeem. WIN! This is the Valentines edition and just look at the box! I love themed boxes! :D

Eldora - Eyelashes

"Every cosmetic connoisseur will adore these simple and beautiful, high quality lashes by Eldora. Their extensive range means there's a style to suit everyone."

Every girl likes to try out different false lashes don't they? So I'm looking forward to trying these ones out. They're not too outrageous for myself as I don't like big thick long ones, these look more on the natural side I guess. I'm not the best at applying fake eyelashes but I'll give it a go. I also haven't heard of this brand before which I guess is always nice to get a brand unknown to yourself to give you the chance to try it out!

Application - "Remove lashes from their platform, gently apply the lash adhesive onto the band and wait until the glue is slightly tacky. Pressing gently, rest just above the base of your own natural lash beginning at the corner working outwards and you'll have fantastic looking lashes in a flutter."

Full size - from £3.99                                 Shop at - www.eldorashop.co.uk

Ciaté London - Paint Pot

"Do you want stunningly sophisticated looking nails? Look no further than a Ciaté Paint Pot. These lovingly chosen and high performance formulas provide you with an effortless nail colour."

This is what I most excited to get! I have never tried this brand of nail polish before and have wanted to for ages but again it's a brand that is quite pricey and could never bring myself to get one. The packaging is gorgeous and of course so is this colour! It's a pinky purply colour and I can't wait to try it out! I will probably do a separate post on this and even better this is full size! :D

Application - "Apply one coat of Ciaté polish leaving to dry before you apply the second coat covering the top of the nail, then apply the "speed coat" (top coat) to seal in your manicure."

Full size - £9.00 for 13.5ml                        Shop at - www.ciate.co.uk

Maybelline New York - Big Eyes Mascara

"Double the drama with Maybelline's first eye-opening double bursh mascara. Built with specific upper and lower lash brushes, Big Eyes Mascara produces an all-around eye-opening effect."

Believe it or not I was actually just looking at this mascara the other day when I was in work and was tempted to buy it! I'm so glad I didn't! This is a brand new mascara and it looks so good! It has two brushes - one for the top lashes and a smaller brush for the bottoms lashes. I never normally wear mascara on my bottom eye lashes simple because the brush is always too big and it ends up all down my cheek but this, I am excited to try!!

Application - "Build up application for flirtatious false lash effect."

Full size - £8.99                                           Shop at - ww.boots.com

Nougat London - Sparkling Body Shimmer

"Add radiance to your skincare regime with Sparkling Body Shimmer. This body lotion with mallow extract, vitamin E and wheatgerm enriched oil will leave your skin luxuriously perfumed with a hint of sparkle."

This is such a nice shimmery pink colour and very generous sample size of 100ml. I don't really use body lotions but am willing to give it a try as it looks too nice to neglect.

Application - "Apply the body lotion and let dry for the look of radiant glamour. Use on you décolletage (what is that??) to create a flowing effect or on your legs to create the illusion of them being longer."

Full size - £14.00 for 250ml                       Shop at - www.nougatlondon.co.uk

Giovanni Eco Chic cosmetics - Chic ultra-moist range OR Chic ultra-sleek range

"Giovanni Eco Chic cosmetics is the #1 selling natural hair care brand in the United States. Contains natural ingredients including Moroccan argan pols, avocado and papaya to treat and nourish your hair and scalp."

I'm not really a fan of receiving foil packets in these beauty boxes as you can get them free from magazines and things but as these are shampoo, conditioner and a hair mask which I am always going to need then I'm not going to complain :) I'm excited to try the hair mask as I've never tried one before.

Application - "See packaging"

Full size - Shampoo and Conditioner £7.99 for 251ml.....doesn't say how much hair mask is:(

Shop at - www.healthbeautynetwork.co.uk

Lindt - Lindor Treat Bar

"Indulge yourself with Lindt's most famous chocolate, Lindor. Its irresistibly smooth and melting filling makes it a perfect little treat at any time."

This was a bonus! A very generous size of chocolate bar! I love the Lindt chocolate balls so this was so nice to receive! This however did not last long at all! Haha!

One size - £0.79 for one bar (38g), £16.59 for 24 bars             

Shop at - Tesco, Sainsburys for single bar and at www.lindt-shop.co.uk for a multi-pack.
