My shopping addicition

This month I've renewed a number of products in my beauty regime; bought new make up products and accessories; and have added a few things to my wardrobe. I think shopping is my secret little addiction. Tristan always says that our bathroom is filled with my beauty products and that there isn't even a place for his toothbrush. The wardrobes are full of my clothes and with all of the shoes in the corridor, it feels like we have 10 people over. I did a big clean out today - I got rid of some old products and put a load of clothes aside to donate.


L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Illuminating Super Serum and L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Luminosity Day Cream have been my favourites for years and I have just started using them again. I recently changed my skin care regime but sadly the product (Clinique Facial Soap - read my review here) made my face break out badly. It caused blemishes, red marks and gave me an uneven skin tone. My previous experience with L'Oreal Youth Code Serum and Day Cream has been great - it helps to fade the appearance of any spots and marks on the skin. I also bought a L'Oréal Paris Triple Active Anti-Shine Mattifying Hydrating Moisturiser for oily and combination skin from Superdrug as they had a huge sale on L'Oreal products. It was only £4 (I think RRP £7) so it would have been a mistake not to buy it. 

I have heard so many great things about Bourjois lipsticks and so I've added these two Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque Liquid Lipsticks to my collection! I saw a ''2 for £14'' deal in Boots and couldn't resist buying them. I got mine in the shades Appechissant 01 and in Viens si tu roses 04. They have a non-sticky formula and are very water-light on lips. 

  

I ordered this White Professional Cosmetics Brushes Set from Amazon for £2.49. The set includes a small pointed brush, small round head brush, small flat brush and a small angle brush. They are super soft, amazing quality and they don't feel cheap at all. 



I've had a Best Secret order arrive too. I saw these Peppa Rose Espadrilles for only £7.90 (RRP £29.90) and decided to get them. I think these shoes will be perfect for my upcoming Rome trip. I added a necklace by Sweet Deluxe (£5.90, RRP £18.95) (seen in the first picture) and a couple of clothing items.

I still have more things due to arrive in the next few days, as I ordered some eyeshadow palettes for summer. I am not very good with eye make up so this will give me the chance to practice and play more with colours.

    I've tried so many products for dark spots but they never seem to work out, so I've given up hope. But now you've excited me with this l'oreal product. Thanks for the rec :)

    I love that you donate unwanted clothing to charities, I do the same and it can be a very nice feeling knowing they're going to someone who will appreciate them more! The cosmetic brushes you ordered look fabulous.. and have reminded me I need to invest in some new ones too! :)

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...

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...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
