The 'Accidental' Purchases

Whilst on holiday in Devon, I 'accidentally fell' into superdrug and made a few purchases. My justification for this is that I was on holiday and that it was perfectly okay to treat myself, just a little.

The first thing I picked up was the Maybelline color show acid wash effect nail polish in 'lilac rebel'. I'd seen these around for a while and found them quite interesting, and after trying them out I realised they are rather different and unique.

I also picked up a Rimmel apocalips lip stain in 'stellar' and it's fair to say it's rather bright.

For a while I've wanted to try the Revlon make your own palette, in which you slot together the individual shadows. I picked these up in '290 cocoa' which is a brown satin shade. I also got '010 bone' which is a matte shade which I thought would made a great brow bone shade.

I picked up another collection eyeshadow pencil in 4 'hot chocolate' and I can't wait to use it.

After picking up a replacement Loreal super liner in intense black I got to move onto the minis. After wanting to pick up some simple products to try I picked up their hydrating light moisturiser. I also picked up a mini sure deodorant in cotton fresh for my handbag and a cherry blossom batise dry shampoo for when I stay at someone's house.

Until next time, stay beautiful

August favourites

This month I've been really loving simple as a brand, their products help my skin to feel amazing and fresh as well as helping the mass breakout I've been experiencing. I've been especially loving their kind to skin cleansing wipes because they help me freshen up my face when I get home and take off any foundation left over from the day, makin  it easier for me to relax. I've also been enjoying their hydrating light moisturizer, it's light and I can't feel it on my skin and as the brand claim to be "sensitive skin experts" I think it's fair to say it's working wonders on my sensitive and complex skin.

My makeup favourite this month is Revlon's lip butter in 027 'juciy papaya' which makes my lips look fresh and natural because its only slightly darker than my lips.

Finally is a book favourite, which is The Silver Linings Play Book, which was a recommendation from a friend, and so far I'm loving the short, easy to read chapters. If you are not a book person, I'd also recommend the film with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

Until next time, stay beautiful
