nail polishes and new blush

Today I used my no 7 £5 voucher in Boots to get one of the Stay perfect nail colours in 95 which is Sunset, its a lovely red, really wanted something that will be nice through autumn and winter rather than the brights I have been wearing alot over summer and this seems perfect, I think I only had to pay about an extra £1.50 for this so was a bargain really :)

I also got a top coat from a make up stall, this one is Sally Hansen maximum growth quick dry top coat, I dont have a top coat and this was only £2 so had to get this, hopefully will be having less chipped nails from now on and this claims to dry colour in 30 seconds!

Also on the make up stall I saw a selection of gorgeous blushes from the make w7 which is all pretty cheap, these were silky blush, and they all looked gorgeous! there was a selection of 4 colours and I got mine in 02, which is more of a peachy pink, looks very pale on my photo and the swatch is rubbish but its so nice! and this was only £2.99, there was a lovely rosey pink too and I want that one next time I am in Bury.
This feels really creamy and smooth and I cant wait to use it! looks more expensive than it is too, it came in a box then inside a small velvetly pouch which I thought was a nice touch! Have never seen these before anywhere else so I was impressed!

small haul and prize

Here is a quick post to show you a few things I have bought recently, since this I have cut up my credit cards cos I found I was buying things every time I went out which i really didnt need just because the cards were there so no more pointless buys now.

I got 2 face creams from wilkinsons which are the olay aqua physics night and garnier fresh essentials hydrating day care, love the day one, smells so fresh and fruity!
I got another collection 2000 hot looks nail polish in Hoola hoop which is a gorgeous creamy pink, cant wait to use this, this was £1.74 from wilkos and a new lip gloss from the love your lips range in 6 Adore which has SPF 20 and is just a levely natural pink when on, this was about £2.80 I think. Also from there I got some false eyelashes for 99p, they come with glue but I wont be using it as I imagine it wont be much good.

From primark I got a lip balm which is the little red one near the middle this was 50p and it seems to look and feel exactly like the vaseline rosy lips does. I also got a pack with 2 glitter dusts in, one is a lovely bronze and the other silver for 50p, used the silver today and its really nice on. From the newer beauty ranges there I got a mango lip balm which is very moisturising and smells lovely too! this was 99p.

From debenhams I got the clinique super city block in spf 40, this is described as an oil free daily face protector. Im not really sure why I got this, it was one of those duty free price offers at £11 something and the clinique woman started telling me about it and I find it very hard to say no once they get started and before I knew it Id bought it, It seems to make a good base for my make up though so hopefully I will get round to using it.

Finally is a mango and papaya body butter. I got this for £1.97 from superdrug and its gorgeous smelling and feels so nice on, love it!

I also recently got the nivea visage young tinted moisturiser but I forgot to put it in the photo, this was half price at superdrug and was about £2.50 and I have found it to be alot better than the normal nivea tinted moisturiser for me, Im not sure what the difference is but this doesnt seem to cling to my dry skin as much and I think the colour is abit more wearable, definatly be rebuying this!

Also just wanted to show you my prize which I recieved from Michelle at Lipstick rules, I won this in her giveaway a while ago, I recieved 3 lip products from a canadian brand called Annabelle, a red lipstick, a frosty pink gloss and a peachy gloss, they are all gorgeous so thank you so much for this :)

Im off to go swimming now as part of my quest to be healthy, but Im a pathetic swimmer so this should be interesting!

Small Barry M haul

After reading on Hele says blog about the new Barry M nail paint in pink flamingo I just had to order it as its the nicest colour and I got a few more bits too.

Below are: (l-r: 305 pink flamingo £2.95, 180 marine blue £1.50, NPP1 limited edition free with code Lollipop26)

I LOVE the pink flamingo one its gorgeous and cant wait to get it on, its almost like a corally shade and its so pretty, the blue was in the clearance section and is very shimmery and almost metallic, and tht other pink was free with the code lollipop26 at the checkout, I already got this with the barry m things I got for subscribing to More magazine but I thought if its free I might as well gte another :) Its similar to the bright pink one but more wearable I think.

I also got the lip paint in 147 peachy pink as have seen this on alot of blogs and thought it looked such a pretty colour, I think this was around £4.
I saw this natural collection lipgloss in fondant on http://blondieprincessx0.blogspot.com/2009/07/natural-collection-makeup-pictures.html and had to have it, I got it with some of my boots points and Im not sure how much it cost but only about £2, its such a pretty orangey pink and it smells quite sweet. Im going to try this over the top of the 147 and see how that looks too as the lip gloss doesnt have that much colour on its own.

Here is a swatch of the 147 lip paint on the left and the fondant lip gloss on the right.

And also a photo of the lip paint with the flash. so pretty :)

St Moriz & few other bits

Today I finally bought some of the St. Moriz fake tan, It has been in the local T J hughes for ages but I kept stopping myself as I have so much fake tan, but I have read so much good reviews about this product that I couldnt put it off any longer :) so I got it for £2.99 today, Im quite tanned from my hols so Im not planning to use it at the moment but Ill do a review when I do use it in the next few weeks.

I also picked up a 2 in 1 cleaner from the new boots vitamin e range I mentioned in another post, this was £2.99 and my fave simple cream was reduced to £3 for the big bottle at superdrug.


I also picked up this sally hansen no more mistakes corrector pen as I am quite bad at putting nail varnish on and I get a bit messy so this is a good idea for me. This was £1.99 from T J Hughes. I also got another 17 nail polish. Its a gorgeous purple called Lilac storm and I cant wait to try it out later.


Next up is the Prestige skin loving minerals bronzer in Glam Tan. I have been looking at these for so long but I could never decide which I wanted but today I finally decided on this one. Its really shimmery but when I tried it before it seemed nice on but that was on top of my normal bronzer so Im hoping this looks ok when I try it tomorrow on its own.

This is a swatch of the glam tan, pics crap cos with the flash it didnt show up at all for some reason yet without it looks really dark and dull.

Mini boots haul

Just a small boots haul. I got the No 7 protect and perfect body serum as it was half price, There was an offer on if you spent over £20 you got a free gift (watch) so I got a skin illuminator in peach. I didnt realise untill I got it home though that its in a stupid bottle with a brush built in which I always find hard to use. This was £10.25 I think.

I also got a blush contour brush from Prestige, this was around £6, I was considering getting some of the sun baked bronzers but I couldnt decide which one to get so I left it, I really want one though so I will be going back.

I picked up the Kiss draw on french tip pen after seein it on Hele's blog, this was about £5 and I put it on a few nights ago but after a few hours It had all pretty much come off, I didnt put any thing on over the top of it as I had been in a rush so Im going to give this another go when I get some time to do it properly.


Boots also had a new vitamin e skin care range, I picked up the moisture day cream and the gentle eye cream with spf 15. I have been using these the last few days and I already love them, the cream feels gorgeous and the eye cream already seems to have lightened up my eye bags! these were £2.50 each and there was also a night cream and face wipes and a few other things all around this price so definatly worth checking out!

I also got the Dolce and Gabbana light blue perfume from Body care for £38.99, I meant to pick this up in the airport duty free but I forgot so I just got it there, I so love the smell of this, really fruity and fresh. This is a 100ml bottle so quite good price really! (sorry its sideways, forgot to turn it before I uploaded it)
