Boots Haul!


I recently visited Boots and since it was triple points i decided to stock up on a few things that i needed.

First i picked up one of the Bold Metal Collections brushes from Real Techniques. These brushes are amazing and the packaging look is so luxurious. They look like high end brushes but are readily available in many drugstores and they definitely do not break the bank at £22.00! This is the 301 Contour Brush. With the dense head brush it gives an amazing shadow to the side of your face without making it look like you have a dirty mark on your face, which is have found from a lot of other brushes I've used to contour in the past. Defo a fan of this!



Next I picked up a new hair brush. Since I've been using the GHD Air Hairdryer i find it is a lot hotter than my old one so I melted all the bristles of my Tangle Teaser. This is just Boots own make hair brush which will hopefully last me longer than my other one :/.



I've been using the Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Primer for years and really love it, however i was browsing the L'Oreal counter and came across the Infallible Mattifying Primer. Since i have oily parts on my face I love products that say 'Mattify' and will try most of them to see if they work well. So i will be doing a separate blog post to say how it compares to my beloved Smashbox Primer.





I have gone through at least 7 eyelash curlers in the past year alone. For some reason after a month or two of using them the don't do anything to my lashes and i need to invest on a new pair. I usually return to the FCUK ones that do work but wear out quick. So I have bought the No7 ones to see if they will last me any longer. I've heard the Shu Uemura Eyelash curlers are supposed to be the best, however they are rather pricey at £20 for them. However if the No7 ones don't last then i will be investing in them!



I bought two under eye concealers. The first one is the L'Oreal Lumi Magique concealer. The packaging is almost identical to the YSL Touche Eclat (but I've never purchased it so i cannot comment on the formula) and Secondly the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I love both these products for brightening under your eyes and making them look a little less tired when you do not get enough sleep. The Rimmel wake me up product has tiny bits of glitter running through it which helps add some brightness under your eyes.




And lastly a very boring product but one i go through a lot of. Listerine Mouthwash. I love this and it is by far my favorite of all I've tried. This green one is the spearmint flavor, however this product does nip my gums if it's in for too long which is annoying.



Hope that wasn't too long!

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum

Recently I have been trying a lot of night serums to try and improve the texture of my skin – I am glad to have found the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I haven’t really ever had the best textured skin, now that I wear make-up on a daily basis I notice the areas that are not the best even more. My make-up will stick to those areas or the texture pushes the make-up up over the area – this makes it even more noticeable to me. One night I took my make-up off and got really frustrated with my bad skin and took to google to find a product that would help me – the one that kept popping up and had good reviews was the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I quickly bought the product and as soon as it arrived I tried it out… needless to say I was not disappointed. I used this product   each night and it just blurs any bad texture areas, it makes my skin feel so soft which is what I look for from many of my skincare products. As this product blurs the texture it makes my make-up sit

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week!

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I
