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!

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! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
