some recent purchases :D

well, i don't know about you guys, but i'm a total sucker for a bargain! so whilst doing the weekly shop in town, i came across a few great deals that i just couldn't refuse! haha...

2 for £6 on Charles Worthington products in Sainsbury's. i have used the leave in conditioner before and it's usually priced at around £5 so i ended up getting a heat protector for £1 - BARGAIN! i really recommend the leave in conditioner as it is also a really good detangler and leaves hair feeling silky smooth. however, i would suggest not applying this to your roots as it can make your hair feel quite greasy! i haven't used the heat protector yet, as i am currently using a vo5 one, but when i do i will let you know my thoughts on it! :)

I picked up these really cute flower clips from New Look for only £3. i may have to go back and pick up some different colours as these really jazz up a simple ponytail or messy bun...love them!

However, my two favourite products i picked up, have to be these beauties:

i actually can't believe i have never picked up this scrub! i have used it before and loved it, but my neutrogena scrub was working well enough, so i didn't really see the point in buying it! i got this scrub from Sainsbury's for about £4 and you get 150ml of product. i can honestly say this is a miracle worker...it leaves your face feeling refreshed and smooth. i have also used this as a body scrub and it works just aswell as my body shop exfoliator (and for half the price!) a definite, definite must have girls - pick one up asap!

Bourjois had a 2 for £10 deal on in boots, so i purchased a lipgloss and a mascara (which i have now given to my mum as it didn't really do anything for my lashes!)
now, only recently have i been getting into lipglosses. i do love the mac ones as they have a brilliant colour range and staying power however, i find them to be ridiculously sticky and eating starts to become a real mission when wearing one of their glosses!
i love love LOVE this lipgloss. the colour i got, is number 33 Brun poetic and it compliments gosh darling perfectly! there is shimmer in this lipgloss but it applies really smoothly and...with no stickiness! this lasted a good 4 hours before i had to reapply and it really gives a 3 dimensional look to your lips, without being one of those painful plumping lipglosses! i am definitely going to pick more of these babies up. they are usually priced at about £6.50, so take advantage of boots offer and you could get 2 for £10...they are honestly amazing (L)

anyway my darlings, hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend!
Take care,
Char ♥

product rave!

No 7 Quick Cover Concealer

i haven't really heard much about this concealer but i cannot stress how much i love it! i admit, the only reason i first bought this concealer was because i had been given one of those £5 off No 7 vouchers however, i have since repurchased it 3 times and couldn't imagine my makeup routine without it!

i believe this product is priced around £8, which is pretty steep but i find it covers my blemishes even better than mac studio finish concealer which is priced at around £12, so the price is pretty good for the quality of the product!

there is a really good colour range, (i'm number 3 fawn if you were wondering!), suitable for all skin tones :)

this can be used on blemishes and under eye circles. it doesn't look cakey at all however, i would take care on blending it well under the eyes, as it can crease slightly throughout the day. my favourite way of apply it is using my fingers to put it on my face, then using a mac 224 brush to blend it... this gives a totally flawless finish!

i would totally recommend this product but if you are unsure about spending £8 on it, wait until you get one of those £5 off vouchers from boots and you will only have to spend £3...honestly you won't regret it! this product will remain a staple in my makeup kit for many years :)

Take care my lovelies,

Char ♥
