Drugstore Beauty Haul







Hey guys!

So here is my drug store haul. I don't usually do these because what I buy isn't usually that interesting but I thought that Lush and Essie definitely spice things up!

LUSH Titsy Toasty Bath bomb- I bought myself this bath bomb so that I could treat myself after a long shift at work. I used to love bath bombs from Lush but now they just bother me because they're so messy. I cant just have a bath and get out, I have to have a shower after to wash off the residue and then give the bath a rinse down too but this one seemed to be on the less messy side. It's also really subtle smelling and relaxing. It has dried rosebuds trapped inside which are pretty cute- not so cute when they're stuck in your plug hole tho..

LUSH BBseaweed Face Mask- This is one of the fresh face masks so they only last 3 weeks but I really like to treat my skin to one of these when I've been wearing make up for long periods of time. I just think that it keeps my skin calm and us girls love to feel girly and a face mask is the perfect way to spend an evening after work! It smells very beachy/earthy which I like and has bits of seaweed in which is all cool.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer- This beauty has been my trusty concealer for a while now. I used to use Boi-ing by Benefit but it was just WAY too expensive. The collection one is only £4 and I use it for both under eye and concealing blemishes. I get through a lot of concealer because I use it as an all over base underneath my foundation to give a better coverage for my skin, and with the price being so low, I can afford to do that.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge- So this is pretty much my new best friend. I used to use the Real Techniques Stippling Brush but when I saw that all the make up artists are using Beauty Blender's I decided I should try using a sponge. Beauty Blender's are WAY too expensive for my liking, especially as you're advised ro buy a new one every month for hygienic reasons.. No thank you! But anyway, I LOVE this sponge. It just blends everything so much better. 

Essie Nail Polish- 'Sparkle on Top'/ 'Spin the Bottle'- I've literally just painted my nails with these colours, using Sparkle on Top only on my ring fingers. I love the colours! I naughtily swapped Spin the Bottle with 'Mint Candy Apple' as I wanted a nude colour to go with the sparkle. 


Thanks for reading guys!

Small Haul- Powder Blue

 





Het guys!

Okay, so firstly I owe you a MASSIVE apology- I am so sorry for not posting in the last three weeks! BUT, in my defence, I have been pretty busy. I was away in York and Wales for two weeks and I've been attending Job interviews which meant that I was short on time for blogging!

Without further ado though, I'd like to tell you about these three b-e-a-utiful items that I purchased recently. I was going out at the weekend and started to panic because I didn't have anything (new) to wear. I spotted the bag first which I thought was just so pretty! Snake print- my fav. And then I got the top to go with it as it matched in colour and wasn't actually that expensive. The earrings weren't part of the outfit plan but I was just drawn to them like I am with anything else iridescent.. And I wore these to my job interviews- something pretty but not too statement. 

I wore the bag and top with my white midi skirt and some black sandal heels. The bag opens up (picture directly above) with a magnetic clasp, which gives you a lot of room but isn't really the handiest when you've had a bit too much to drink and you're trying to find your keys/money. However, I do really like the fact it comes with a longer strap so you can change it from a clutch to a shoulder bag- WIN.

Clutch- Newlook £12.99
Earrings- Newlook £3.99
Top- Topshop £8

Thanks for reading guys! 

I shall be back soon with an OOTD (of course) and a Drugstore beauty haul :)
