A quick Sunday shop

Today I went for a little shopping trip to Boots as well as TK Maxx and picked up some bits and pieces. 

 

This New CID Cosmetics shine Lip Gloss with Mirror was ordered from Amazon a couple of days ago but I really wanted to talk about it here in this post. Amazon has this amazing sale on at the moment and many brands have an 80% discount, so I had to get this lip gloss for just £1! The real price is around £15. My colour is Moonstone. It is very light but I mainly want to just use it on my lipstick. I remember when I was younger I always prefered lip gloss over lipstick. Now I just can not wear lip gloss alone, as it feels a bit too sticky on my lips.

 

 


My hair is not in the best condition at the moment. I basically have to wash it every day, as it feels oily, dirty and heavy. My scalp is also a bit ichy sometimes and I think my hair condition is just out of balance. I have tried to change shampoos as often as I can but I haven't noticed any change. I thought I would try something local before buying Australian Bodycare Treatment Shampoo, which is perfect for oily hair and ichy scalp. Anyway I found this OGX Argan Oil & Shea Butter Shampoo. Shea butter has a moisturising effect and balances hair and scalp while weightless argan oil restores luster and shine, giving silky smooth strands and (even though my hair is not curly) softens natural curls for hydrated perfection.

OGX products use a unique blend of sulfate free surfactants. They do not contain lauryl or laureth sulfates and are paraben free.


I got this Nip + Fab Viper Venom Eye Fix from the March Love Me Beauty box and I absoloutely loved it! I had to buy a new one as I lost it a couple of weeks ago and I really missed it. I love the cooling roll-on applicator and refreshing feeling it gives around my eyes. It also has minimising LIFTONIN and SYN-AKE to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area. Red Algae Extract reduces the look of dark circles for a radiance boosting effect, while Syn-ake works to smooth skin and Liftonin provides an instant tightening effect. I can't live without it anymore!
 



I finally bought my first Real Techniques Brush. I have been dreaming about them for a while and as I needed a new blush brush anyway, I thought I would go with this lovely egg-shaped make up brush. Pink is for finishing off the look with powder, blush or bronzer. The Real Techniques Blush brush will define and contour cheeks. The quality is absoloutely amazing. I am so happy!




 


Botanics Cotton Wool Pads are the best cotton pads - soft, gentle and non fleecing. These pads are suitable for everything and are ideal for applying lotions, creams (such as cleansers) and liquids (such as eye make up remover and nail polish remover). They are 100% organic and on their cotton they don't use synthetic chemicals or pesticides. 

 

I have wanted to buy some weights for a while now and as I am doing more excercising at home I thought I would get something compact and easy to use. So I went for these Bally Total Fitness 3-Pound O Ring Wrist Weights and paid only £6 for them (RRP £20).

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...
