Hair & Beauty supplies haul

Hey, Hope everyones well!
Yesterday my local beauty suppliers were having a VAT free day, so I thought I'd pop along and get myself a few things a little cheaper than normal :)

here's what I picked up:


As you see I didn't go too crazy with the VAT offer but I did pick up a few good finds.

I got these purederm patches and strips, the nose strips I've seen in Boots & Superdrug and a few other places all by a few different brands but I've never seen these spot reducer patches before so thought I'd give them a try. - I'll update you :) Has anyone else tryed these?

I also picked up these individual lashes for the outer corners as adding lashes to the outer corners really opens up the eye and looks a little more natural than full lashes. I chose these in black and long.

I also decided I needed this Macadamia comb, I know your thinking it's just a comb why on earth are you blogging about a comb! but! this comb is infused with Macadamia oil and that's why I decided I wanted/needed this comb in my life. I have no idea if it works as of yet but I'm sure I'll blog about it if it's any good! :) no life changing comb or anything no doubt but you never know :P

This Toner has been on my list for a while and I finally remembered to pick it up. I've heard a lot of good things about it. It contains Mulberry & Pomegranate which claims to leaves the skin looking fresh, supple and energised everything I want from a toner.

And the final thing, is what I'm most excited to try! L'oreal - Mythic Oil I first saw this in the Beauty Supply booklet a few months back and was intrigued to try it then but I got distracted by the VO5 miracle concentrate and whilst that is still a favourite of mine I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. It might be good to compare the two as well. You get 125ml which is amazing as the box directs you to use 1 to 2 pumps so the bottle should last a while. It smells similar to the VO5 fruity and fresh.

The O.P.I nail polish pictured at the top of my post is the only item I've left out..this is because it looks darker in the photo than it really is, so I'm going to photograph it later and post it when its on the nails for a true colour match :) but if your interested now the colour is: It's all Greek to me'

Have you tryed any of these products? Or if you'd like me to review anything just ask :)

New things

Hi everyone, I picked up a few new things and thought I'd share them :)



I wasn't planning on buying anything from Top shop makeup line, but I couldn't help myself when I saw this blush/bronzer duo. It's perfect for my makeup bag because not only is it two products in one it also has a decent size mirror to the compact and its pretty :)


Shade: 'Burning Embers'
Hopefully you can see from the larger photo that the blush is a lovely pinky-peach..similar to Nar's Deep Throat. And the bronze is a light brown very soft and flattering.


Next up a tube of 'Lanolips' the 101 version and also the reason for my shopping trip. I'd read reviews and seen a couple of YouTube videos about this stuff..and it sounded amazing, so I had to pick a tube up for myself and see.. first impressions are good its very thick balm type consistency and very shiny on the lips. It claims to soothe and heel 101 different things from dry lips to burns and stings. - I'll update you on this once I've tryed it for a few weeks. :)

My next time was a sample of the Chanel Inimitable intense mascara in Noir, again I wasn't intending to get this but I'm glad I did :) the kind lady at the Chanel counter in Boots gave it to me with my purchase of a lovely little lipstick a 'Rouge coco shine' in the shade: Boy
As you can see the wand is plastic and looks similar to the one by Max Factor - False lash effect. - again I'll update you on what I think.



And finally the lipstick :) I'm so happy to have this, it's been on my wish list for a while but I've kept putting off getting it because it's expensive for one little lipstick..but I gave in and know I have it and even the smell of it makes me smile haha- btw it smells lovely! a slight hint of floral but nothing over powering.
The shade boy is a netural pink and very shiny - perfect for the daytime

What have you been buying this weekend? let me know in the comments :)
