MAC, New Look & Yankee Candle Haul

Hey!

As mentioned in my book haul (click here), I went shopping last Monday and these are the rest of the things that I got.

Firstly I went to MAC Cosmetics in Debenhams and got myself 'Lady Danger' lipstick with a gift card from a friend. It is an orange/red in your face lipstick that isn't exactly for the faint hearted. I of course will review this soon!

I then went to Yankee Candle. I don't buy candles for myself but because I knew it was my step-sister's birthday coming up and that I know she likes candles I bought 'Mango Peach Salsa' and 'Turquoise Sky'. I loved them for their smells and vibrant colours I thought would go well with the Spring/Summer seasons.

Finally, I went to New Look. I needed new sunglasses as a couple of months ago I managed to spill acetone over my sunglasses and ruined them! I was so gutted because I loved them. However, I managed to find a matching pair in New Look even though mine were from last summer! They have round lenses with a thicker black rim which I know isn't to everyone's tastes but I love them. It is also my sister's birthday coming up so I bought her a small baby pink bag with a lace pattern and a gold clasp and chain. It isn't something I would ever buy for myself admittedly but the material is lovely feeling and it is a pretty girly bag which I know my sister would like for special occasions and nights out. I also spotted a flower bracelet which, again, I wouldn't buy for myself but thought it was beautiful and something my sister would like.

 What do you think? Let me know!

Shopping Haul |BeautyByElliee

Hi guys!
My name is Ellie (from over at http://beautybyelliee.blogspot.co.uk/) and I am a shopaholic.
So yeah, I spent a teency weency bit more money that intended last week, and a problem shared is a problem halved right? So I thought I would share what I bought with you lovely lot, on with the post!

The first Item I have is from Hollister, and I must admit I haven't been in a Hollister shop in years, I didn't plan on buying anything but when I saw this Slogan top I actually loled. It was £22 and it is really soft and hangs off  the body so nicely. It's also not plastered with the Hollister logo which I like.

"Dibs on the Drummer"

The next shop we visited was boots, I have recently had my hair cut a lot shorter. I made a vow to myself that this time I would take proper care of my hair. So I bought a hair mask and a hair serum mist. These promised to make my hair stronger, softer and shinier- and that's what I want for my dull tangled hair! Hair mist   Hair mask

I don't have pictures of these Items *sorryyyy*

The last shop we visited was H&M and I bought two tops; A sheer, thin stripy grey jumper, and a lace trimmed floral tank top. I've worn these together and I loved how the lace of the top peaked out from the jumper.

That's all I bought on this shopping trip, If you have enjoyed this post, feel free to check out my blog linked at the beginning. Thank you to Briony for having me guest post on her blog!

Lots of love,

Boots Haul!

Hello BumbleBeas!

Seeing as it was my birthday last week I received some birthday money. Of course I was going to go shopping! I didn't actually get much as most of the things I want you can only get online but I picked up a few things.

1. Impulse body spray: Vanilla & Peach

I was originally going to get a Natural Collection body spray as I love them but I saw the Impulse ones were on a major sale so I couldn't resist. Vanilla & Peach sounds very nice to me!

2. Cocoa Butter Formula Eventone Dark Spot Corrector

I used this last year until I finished it and I felt it made an improvement to face so I decided to buy it again. I don't want to say too much as I am definitely going to write up a review of this soon but let me say if you're looking for products to treat either dark spots, age spots, post-acne scars (like me!) or sun damage on your face then you don't want to miss my review!

3. Revlon Colour Burst Matte Lip Crayon: Shameless

I have wanted this for so long you have no idea! I already have one of these lip crayons so will be doing a full review on them soon but this is a lovely deep purple colour and I adore it! Review coming soon!

4. Benefit Gimme Brow!

I don't normally buy myself more expensive make up brands but I have always admired Benefit. I decided I may as well treat myself to something from Benefit as it was with birthday money so I ended up getting this coloured brow gel. I will be writing up a review soon!

So that's it! Have you used any of these products? What do you think? Let me know!

Boots Haul!

Hey BumbleBeas!

The other day I decided to treat myself to some new stuff from Boots. You've got to treat yourself once in a while, right?

1. Real Techniques- Expert Face Brush I have been wanting one of these brushes for a long while! I finally bit the bullet and chose to get the 'expert face' one for my foundation. I love it!
2. Collection- Lasting Perfection Foundation I have been using the concealer for years and I never realises there was a foundation until recently. I never wear foundation so this was a step up for me!
3. Collection- Lasting Perfection Concealer I have been using this concealer religiously for years and it is the best concealer ever. However, they recently altered the name, shades and packaging and this is the first time I have bought the new edition! 
4. Natural Collection- Green Correction Stick This is the second time I have bought this as my first one ran out. I used to use the most perfect green corrector stick from No 7/17 but it got discontinued so I had to find a new one!
5. L'oreal- Super Liner Gelmatic L'oreal recently either discontinued my usual eyeliner which I had been using every day for years or Boots just don't sell it any longer. Either way I had to find a new eyeliner and this is what I found!

A review for ALL of these products will be coming soon, so look out for those! 

Have you used any of these or want any of it? What do you think of them? Let me know!

Shopping Haul! Swatches + First Looks

Hey BumbleBeas!

Today I went shopping with my sister and spent much more money than I was planning to. Whoops! But how on earth could I resist?

1. Bubblegum Lib Scrub from LUSH.

I have used this lip scrub before and loved it SO much that I bought more after using it for a year until a ran out. It is such a good lip scrub and well worth the £5 it costs.

2.  SEVENTEEN Miracle Matte Pressed Powder

I have never worn powder before so this is a completely new experience for me. Once I get the hang of it I will definitely write up a proper review on it after a long while of using it. It was 3 for 2 at Boots and I already had decided on SEVENTEEN foundation so I thought I may as well give it ago! Something Blogger has taught me is that it is good to try new make up products and broaden my horizons rather than just sticking to the same thing for years until they get discontinued. But this powder just looks beautiful!

 

3. Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow: Everlasting Navy 

I have been wanting this for SUCH A LONG TIME! I have been meaning to buy color tattoo eyeshadow for months and finally I am pleased to say I have it. I tried it on briefly on one eye and I have to say I absolutely love the colour. Once I have worn it properly I promise I will write a review on it although you've probably read hundreds of them already!

4. SEVENTEEN On the Spot Foundation

Seeing as my concealer is being discontinued I needed to find something to replace it. As someone who suffers from acne and scarring, the claims of this foundation clearing up your skin in four weeks was something I just needed to see. I haven't worn it yet but once I have I am planning to write a review so look forward to that! Also, because of the tube I didn't expect to see a pump when I pulled off the lid!

5. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick Dark Night Waterl-Oops!

I had been looking for a purple lipstick for a long while and after swatching many brands and shades I finally settled on this one! When I wear it properly (which I am excited to do so) I will write a full review on it. However I did try it on for a little while earlier to see what the colour was like on my lips and it looked better than I imagined. I also ate my tea and gargled some salt water after doing it and it seemed to stay pretty well which gives me very high hopes. Please note I found it highly difficult to take a photo that really showed off the purple in it so I took various photos. You'll just have to trust me on this one- it is a deep purple!

    

So that's it! I hope you liked my haul. Have you used any of these products? What do you think? Like I've said, I will be writing up reviews after a fair amount of use so look out for those!
