August Favourites

It’s almost the end of August already!? Oh I missed last month’s favourites! Though I doubt you noticed, my apologies dolls :)

I really wasn't happy with my daytime moisturiser (Nivea naturals something-something) ever since I read about the bacterial levels in jar moisturisers and that once they are opened, the product is virtually useless as it starts to break down. Anyho, it was a heavy glass jar so wasn't really very handy for travelling and I decided I needed some SPF protection. Nivea's products never break out my sensitive skin so I had a quick look in Boots. I picked up the normal/ combination skin and it's just what I needed; it absorbs quickly, isn't greasy, it has the generic 'Nivea smell' and SPF 15.

The Sudocrem tube really isn't what I was expecting. I’ve worked my way through many a tub as it's an absolute holy grail product of mine whether it be spots, cuts, burns etc etc - a complete miracle product. I guess it's because it's in a tube, but I was expecting a thinner consistency cream to the original tub, but it's exactly the same... in a handy tube - perfect!

I picked up the Palmer's at the airport as I managed to forget to pack any body butter/ lotion! It's really handy for popping in my bag, it's very moisturising and smells delicious - I'll most definitely be purchasing a bigger bottle.

The Dove is a re purchase, I used to use it when it was first released in red packaging... I don't really know why I stopped using it but the new packaging caught my eye. As far as I’m aware it's the same product - does it's job and smells lovely too.

If you’ve read a few posts back, you’ll know this is my first MAC lipstick and I’ve got some big love for this little bullet. It’s the exact shade I was looking for, it wears reasonably well and I like the sugary smell/ taste :)

I hope you’ve all had a lovely month! What have your favourites been? xx

My Sunday in a nutshell

Hey dolls! My family have gone away for the weekend so I'm currently home alone! Without sounding antisocial, I actually really enjoy having the house to myself and find it really relaxing :) I worked Friday and yesterday then stayed at a friend’s house last night. it's been a pretty relaxed day today I’ve just lounged round the house, and done a bit of housework (shocking, I know!) I’m currently watching friends (the one with Ross' tan) and waiting for my friend to finish work then we're ordering in a cheeky late-night domino's (Mmmm..)
Sorry this isn’t my most interesting post but anyho, I hope you're all well and had a lovely weekend - comment and let me know what you're up to tonight – oh, and hello new followers :) xx

Holiday in photos & blah

I'm hoooome! I've been back for about a week actually but I've been rushed off my feet catching up with the goings on while I've been away, shopping, washing, working and such! I didn't really know what to put in this first post back or whether you'd be interested in my holiday snaps... Anyway I've decided to put up a few of my favourites so enjoy :)

TTFN, ta ta for now

There's a first time for everything...

My goodness, three posts in one day, you must be sick of the sight of my name on your dashboard! As I said previously, I went shopping with my mum as the weather's been terrible today. You've seen my outfit, now heres what I bought...

Not exactly my biggest haul, I know. When I'm on holiday I get through books at quite a pace so I was on the hunt for a few more Sophie Kinsella's as I've already read quite a few in the shopaholic series (in the wrong order, I might add, this is the first one) and I've been meaning to pick up 'remember me' for ages. WHSmith's have loads of offers on at the moment and I got these 'buy one, get one half price'.

The lipstick is my first from MAC! I have no idea why it's taken me long to buy one, I think it's because I find the shade range (and price) quite daunting, I never have the time to carefully choose a shade which will suit me.

I've had my eye on this shade for quite a while as I was looking for something quite similar to my lip colour, a 'my lips but better'. Anyway dolls here's a swatch and the shade is 'Créme in your coffee'. It's the perfect shade for my pale skintone. The swatch is quite true to colour and MAC online describes it as a 'Creamy mid-tone pink brown' which I think is spot on. It's a creamsheen so it's not too drying but still has good staying power (tried and tested today) and tastes looovely :)
