Boots 3 for 2!

Just a quick one today, as deadlines are getting crazy. 

I have a week and a half left, then i'm FREE...until september.

I really want to have an amazing summer, this academic year has been incredibly stressful for a number of reasons, so giving the elbow to Uni for 5 months on the 23rd will be the dream.

I have a few plans for this summer, I'm going to Florida for a month to visit famalam which I am incredibly excited about..SEPHORA ANYONE?!

Also, there has been word of a potential explore of Europe for a couple of weeks with my chummy which gets me incredibly excited. 

                                          But onto the post eh?

I was back in the 'Shire last week for Easter and my attention may have diverted into Boots, and the 3 for 2 offer may have caught me out. I was having one of those days where everything went wrong, including smashing my phone screen..so the 3 for 2 purchase was obviously justified..

I've been using the MUA eyebrow palette for about 2 years now, but due to re-shaping my eyebrows I've began filling them out slightly differently. The colour in the MUA palette was WAAAY to red-ish and my eyebrows just looked a hot mess. So I Picked up Soap and Glory Archery in the colour "Hot Chocolate." I've used a similar product before, the MAC eyebrow twist pencil but it just ran out so fast that I couldn't justify paying that amount of money to repurchase it. So far I am loving the Archery product, the colour is almost a perfect match for my brows and the spooley on the other end is incredibly useful for those times when you have a bit of a heavy hand and need a bit of a blend.

Next I went for the Seventeen Falsify HD! I have heard such great things about this product, giving natural lengthening with one coat but also with the ability to build for a more dramatic look. What can I say, I am IN LOVE with the product. It is so affordable and really does what it says on the tin! 

For my third item I went for the Rimmel BB Matte Cream in Medium. I'd seen Shani Grimmond on Youtube use this a few times and the coverage for a BB cream was amazing. I've not had the best of luck with BB creams if i'm honest, i've never found one that I love..so I'm hoping this will be the one! The light in this is very pink in its undertones so I had to go for the medium. At the moment this is too dark for me so I will have to wait a while to give it a try but I am excited to give it a whirl. 

Have you been suckered in by the Boots 3 for 2? What did you buy?

Also, do any of my fellow oily skinned ladies have any recommendations for a good BB/CC cream?

See you later...

Caught Out By Boots 3 for 2!

Last week whilst having a nose around town, I popped into Boots for an ever so innocent browse, as we all know too well these so called 'browsings' can very easily be turned into a full blown shop and with the extra lure of the '3for2' deal it was hook-line-and-sinker. Now I didn't go too overboard and actually came out with some goodies I've been eyeing up for a while now too - win! 

Revlon - Colourburst MatteBalm - Audacious 

Maybelline - Colossal Go Extreme

Sinful Colors - Easy Going

Clinique - Moisture Surge - Shade 4

Clinique - Anti-Blemish Solutions - Cleansing Foam

Clinique - Anti-Blemish Solutions - Clarifying Lotion

Sinful Colors is a new brand to me, and with the price of £1.99, I'd without a doubt say that they're a better deal for your money that Barry M. Although it does take an abnormally long time to dry, once it does it's staying put. After 5 days wear now - Not a chip in sight unlike Barry M which in my experience chips after a day if that, so 100% gonna have to explore their range a little further.  I've also been wanting to try the MatteBalm for ages now, its a rich coral colour that glides well onto the lip and is super moisturising, so I'm rather happy with that buy. 

Revlon MatteBalm - Audacious Swatch

I've also repurchased a couple of items from the Clinique Anti-Blemish range as written about a few posts ago, but I'll go into a full review of that in a upcoming post so keep a lookout! :)

Spring Is Here - OOTD

Finally, Spring is here and Summer is well on it way! WOO! 

Although the temperature is definitely on this rise, unfortunately the wind still has a chill to it to remind us summer lovers that it IS only mid-April..So when getting dressed I've gotta bear that in mind. 

I was just popping out to meet a friend for lunch and though I'd do a quick OOTD, so here it is my OOTD for Spring weather - 

I love a trench with the 'In-between' weather, not too hot and not too cold. One day it will be Burberry but for now this one from Primark will have to do.

 I LOVE this Topshop blouse, perfect for both spring and summer and wear-able day and night, which is very appealing to me when buying clothes.  Carrying on with the Topshop theme, these black trousers are also from Topshop, being someone whose trouser collection consists of Black, Black and Black.. I was attracted to the slight pattern on these, they bring something slightly different to the trouser section of my wardrobe. 

H&M A/W 13/14 Booties. These are my go to shoes and the moment, I seem to wear them with everything!

I'm  not usually a huge nail polish wear-er but whilst in Boots last week I couldn't resist this Barry M nail polish in Blue Moon. It is perfect for Spring and a such a lovely colour!

That being my first OOTD done! :) I must apologise for the not so great pictures, I bugged my 12 year old Brother to take them and he wasn't best pleased in doing so!
