A few Little Purchases...

Here is four items which I thought I should tell you about;


Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Afternoon Tea;
Recently I have been loving wearing nude lips and when I came across the Tanya Burr Lips and Nails stand in my local Superdrug I automatically grabbed the nudest pinkest colour there was and without any deliberation it was purchased straight away. The lip gloss smells like sweets which I love and it has great pigmentation. it is not sticky so your hair doesn't get stuck in it on a windy day or you don't have it joining your lips together in a sticky mess. It is one of my new favourite lip glosses and hey it is by the wonderful Tanya Burr.

Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Beauty;
for the past two years I have loved reading the seventeen magazine as I can get it in my local Easons and when I found out that they had a book about beauty I wanted to own it. For a long time I have been loathing over this book thinking is it worth buying but with my new funds that I have I decided "fudge it I'll buy it". I love this book it has make-up, hair, nails and anything else you may need to know about beauty with handy tips and tricks. I have nearly read it front to back and I feel like it is possibly my beauty bible when I am in a sticky situation.

Soap & Glory, The Ultimelt and Face Soap and Clarity Face Wash;
At this moment in time my face has been going out of control with break outs and I am trying to reign it back in but it is a very hard job as new pesky little spots keep re-appearing. A few days back my sister let me use her face washes and I fell in love as there was a great difference in my skin. Unfortunately she is not going to let me use them every day, therefore I decided to buy them myself. The Ultimelt is a hot cloth cleanser which is great at taking off your make-up and taking any impurities out of your skin. The face soap is great at getting rid of spots and preventing them from coming back. I have not yet used my own as I am trying to use up some other of my products before I open new ones. However in the next week I should have used up my other face washes and then I can take a good go at these new washes and see how they effect my skin in a long term effect.

There was some of the new things I have bought, I hope you enjoyed this blog post!

Town with the Girls!

This time last week I was shopping in my local town with my friends, I knew I would be doing a blog post about this so I decided to take pictures. My friend cara vlogged the day however she has not yet uploaded it to youtube yet but here is her youtube: link.


We got the bus into town so of course we had to take a selfie! In this picture I am on the left, my friend Maeve blog is in the centre and my other friend Cara (mentioned above) is on the right. This is the only picture of actual people that I took and unfortunately one other of my friends Julie Ann blog lives in town and so I didn't get a picture with her.


After doing some shopping and dragging cara around boots like she was a little child whom was tired (however she was on her best behaviour... that does include her standing there with her hands up to her face like she was imitating sleeping and having a look in her eye like she is lost) we finally met up with the other girls and went for lunch at Cafe Mauds (I tried to put the accent in above the "e" but it just wasn't working). Here I tried to do the lifestyle blogger type of photo but I failed at it to be honest.


Along with my red slushie I ordered a pizza as many of my friends know I get hungry very easily and when my tummy gets hungry, it gets hungry! I ordered the make your own pizza with toppings of chicken and bacon. I must say it was truly scrumptious! (que Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sing along) After this we just went to the local play park for a little while as soon after we had to catch our bus home.

Purchases;


In sports direct I bought what is called the Nike downshifter 5- basically the lightest and brightest running shoe they had to motivate me to run.


Boots was having a 3 for 2 offer on all makeup and I had a gain 300 extra points on seventeen voucher from my card to use so I done a little shopping. The first thing I bought was the Barry M Gelly hi-shine lip pencil in the third colour as you know me I am attracted to bright colours.
I also bought the Seventeen phwoarr paint in the shade fair for my undereye bags. The packaging of this reminds me an awful lot of the Bobbi Brown corrector.
Finally I bought the Seventeen mirror shine lipstick in Beehive as after Lilly and Anna talking about it for soo long I just had to buy it.

Sorry that the second picture is a bit dodgy I will try to take a better one next time!
My other friend natalia was not able to come with us but I thought I should link her as well as it wouldn't be fair if I left her out as she has a really good blog as well here.
See You Soon,
<3
