Teeny boots haul!

Now that it's getting a bit warmer and the suns coming out a bit more I've decided my skin needs a break and that I don't want to wear my foundation every day.

So after a bit of blog reading, youtube video watching, and googling I decided I wanted to try a new BB cream. I've used the original Garnier BB cream when it first came out and really enjoyed wearing it but it didn't agree with my oily skin and my face was one big shiny mess at the end of the day.

So, after more researching I chose the Dr Jart rejuvenating blemish balm. The packaging makes this product look very expensive, which it kind of is at £21.99 for 30ml! However, to may delight when I went to boots to purchase it it was on offer for a third off so only cost me £13.99! Haven't used the product yet but my first impressions are that it's slightly grey but I'm sure a bit of powder will correct that!

My other goodies were just the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer in '1 Fair' and '2 light', this is about my 4th tube of this stuff and I'm still loving it! I now get the lightest shade for under my eyes and the slightly darker one for blemishes. Finally I repurchased Rimmel's stay matte powder in the shade '003 Peachy Glow', another cheap and cheerful favourite of mine!

Thanks you for reading!

Christmas goodies 2012

Christmas goodies 2012

I have been absolutely loving reading everyone's "what I got for Christmas" blog posts so i thought I would do my own. If you see these kind of posts as showing off or whatever please do not read on... However if you enjoy them, like I do, then enjoy! :-)

From relatives I got a mixture of books and make up but mostly money & vouchers which is always nice for the January sales! From my parents I was extremely lucky to receive a Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag, (specifically the 'too hot to handle' tote in black), a hat/scarf from topshop, Cheryl Coles autobiography, body shop treats, umberto giannia hair kit, a onesie, and more little bits! From my amaaaaazing boyfriend I received an iPad 3, a mulberry scarf, a jack wills jumper and wax lyrical candle!! My boyfriend is a typical boy when it comes to buying girls presents, so the fact he thought of getting me a candle and picked it all my himself was really sweet :-)

After Christmas I went to centre parcs with my boyfriends family which was really good fun, we even went to the spa where a lovely spa lady showed us how to use a variety of elemis products, I now want their entire skincare range.. Oh no!


I hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year!
