Recent beauty and fashion pieces

Thought I would share some accessories and makeup pieces that I've picked up at recently!

I'll start with some pieces I picked up from BodyShop, they had really great student discount so I decided to take advantage of it and pick up some stuff I've wanted for a little while.
The Honey bronzer I have wanted for such a LONNNGGGG time. I got the shade 3 (second from lightest) just because I still want to use it when I've got a a bit more of a tan...

I had to stock up on the Insta Blur primer, because I'm obsessed with it. It does such a good job at smoothing out my skin and making my makeup look more flawless.
Something I recently heard someone talking about on YouTube is the Vitamin E facial mist which is essential just a rose water mist. Is supposed to be hydrating which it definitely is, I have dry/ normal skin so I love finding moisturising products, I just find it makes my skin look so much nicer when I am all glowy and hydrated.

The last thing is a Pink Grapefruit handcream, I love the grapefruit range from Body-Shop it was a no brainer, I needed it.

Some more fashion pieces I picked up include sunglasses, I originally the tortoise shell ones from Primark for like £2-3. They really remind me of these Quay Australia sunglasses I was looking at last summer.

The other pair is the exact same pair from NewLook but in black! The Newlook ones are slightly better quality and sit better on my face as oppose to the Primark ones which kinda fall off! However they're still wearable as I know my sister has been wearing them non- stop for the last two weeks haha.

I have been loving bandannas mainly for putting on my handbags, I have a couple from Zara but I started noticing Newlook doing some really pretty ones, This green palm tree one looks so cute and it was only like £4.


















Now onto a rather big lash haul! I think I mentioned Girl with Attitudes lashes on my Instagram but I picked some up in Primark a few months ago, but I recently found out that Savers also sells them, they had a couple of different styles to Primark's selection.

I was also really happy because Savers also had some of my favourite lengthening style lashes from Eylure, instead of paying nearly £6.00 in Boots and Superdrug they were £2.99! And they even do the double packs.

The other lashes I have been loving are the Primark 'Full look' lashes, I think I have tried most of the other ones including their 'dramatic' and 'Sultry' style. However I prefer the full looks ones because they look the most natural but give my lashes some length and fullness.

I definitely think its worth looking in Primark and Savers for lashes coz you could find your favourite lashes!

My First BirchBox

I've never had any kind of Beauty box before but I have always looked at them and pondered over
which to try. I saw Birchbox's May beauty box pop up on Instagram and I was sold just by the colour scheme, anything marble and pink and I WANT it.

Another reason I decided to purchase this months box is because the full size product was a glitter, with the choice of a grey shade or a vanilla shade and I've been looking at getting MAC vanilla so thought this would be a good alternative. I've also really wanted to try out the Laura Mericer primer for some time, so was hoping I would get that in my box- which I did yay!

So my box came with a full sized Marsk eyeshadow in 'Vanilla frosting' which is a beautiful finely milled eyeshadow/glitter. I haven't had a chance to play around with this one yet but I love the beautiful shade.

The other thing I was most excited about was the Laura Mercier radiance primer, I have used this a couple of times now and I actually love it. I knew I would love it  just because there is so many good reviews on the product. The size of this sample size is much bigger than I expected which is good, it means I can properly test out the product for a couple of weeks before I buy the full product, which I think I will be doing anyway.

The other 3 products I'm not so enthusiastic about, I did try the Doucce Volumizer Mascara but I struggle to properly review mascaras because my eyelashes are so stubby and straight. Therefore I cant really say much on this product.
The whish firming cream I haven't tried, but I cant imagine being very keen on it because I don't really use anything other than Bio oil, Aloe Vera and Body-shop moisturisers.
I probably will actually use the Beauty Protector- Protect and Volume. Its a handy size for travelling which saves lugging round a big bottle of Tresemme heat protectant, and its also vegan so its a bit more organic.

I also got some freebies with my box, they had a deal on a Benefit set! I ended up getting the sample size They're Real mascara, primer and remover! I used to use the They're Real mascara a lot before I fell in love with the Rollerlash
