Clinique

Yesterday I got a postcard thing through the post from boots saying that if you buy any 2 products (1 being skin care) from the clinique counter you could get a bag of summery freebies, I was all set to rush down there yesterday cos I love freebies but then I noticed it didnt start untill today. I sent my mum down today to get me the full size versions of the face wash and clarifying lotion that I got in the 3 step routine with my dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I used these for about 2 weeks and my skin was really clear and I had been meaning to buy them so this seemed the perfect time.


The liquid facial soap (left) in extra mild was £13, and a Huge 400ml clarifying lotion was £23, was quite shocked at the size really. so I spent £36 and got...



This pretty drawstring bag with testers of:

• dramitically different moisturizing lotion (which I use all the time anyway and love!)
• 7 day scrub cream
• self sun body daily moisturizer in light /medium
• tiny tube of lash power mascara in black onyx
• mini long lasting glosswear spf 15 in 14 cabanna crush (really pretty pink)
• and a small almost bronzer spf 15 in light medium (I like the look of this, looks like it might be just the right shade for me!)
• and a mini clinique brush for the bronzer,

So got quite alot really, so if anyone else is looking at buying any more than 1 clinique product before the end of auugust get down to boots and get these freebies with them!

Outfit of the day

This is my first outfit of the day, sorry about the crappy photo quality, without the flash they didnt come out properly so now I have no face!


Today I wore blue cardigan from primark (£8), plain white vest top from primark (£1.50, under grey top), grey top from primark (reduced to £3!!!!), Jeans from river island (£15 in sale) and black shoes with gold studded detail from primark (£8)

I love the top, its so pretty and has lovely detailing around the collar (as in bottom photo) and I couldnt believe it when I got this for just £3, Its pretty see through on its own though so I have to wear it with just a plain little top underneath but its so pretty!

My 3 fave nail polishs

Hele and Holly at the nail buff (http://thenailbuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/nails-inc-giveaway.html) are having a contest and this is my post as an entry.

These are my 3 fave nail polishs.

1. Barry M 305 Pink flamingo - I love this, gorgeous colour that stayed put for ages!

2. Collection 2000 hot looks in BMX bandit - really creamy purpley blue colour which looks so nie and got loads of compliments, really good consistency, amazing especially for the price.

3. 17 lasting fix nail polish in tropical island - this is my absolute fave, gorgeous coral colour which goes on really smooth and lasts ages without chipping :)

bad day!

I have had a rubbish day and just had to write about it as my boyfriend is being useless and watching football instead!

Firstly work was busy and drove me mad enough as I spent hours having to do jobs which arent mine just because one woman likes to feel like shes alot more important than she is!
Then came home and arranged to go the trafford centre with my older sister to cheer myself up by helping her buy things for her wedding at the end of the month, got up to her house for my niece to point out that my car had a scratch on it, got out and saw not just a scratch but the whole back corner of my car smashed in!!!!!!!! I hadnt noticed as I have hardly driven it since last week and got in my car in a rush to go out but its really bad, my sisters fiance is a mechanic and he reckons it will be hard to fix as its really caved in. Rang my insurance and was told that as I have no details about who did it to claim with and with me being under 21 it will cost me £400 in excess to get fixed! plus id lose my no claims, I think its so unfair that I would have to pay that when in no way was this my fault, it has only been parked outside my house! I already had to pay excess of £150 and lost 2 years no claims in march this year when it was broken into when I was at work so I cant believe its happening again!

Im going to get my brother in law to see what he can do or get some quotes from some garages and see if I can avoid using my insurance as then I know it will jump up loads when I renew it in september after making 2 claims so close together.

So yes a bad day :( never made it to the trafford centre either!

If anyone made it this far, sorry for moaning, just thinks its all really unfair :(

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!
