L'Occitane Fresh Face Water

I bought this a few weeks ago because I just loved the scent! As I said in my haul post, I hadn't been using a toner for a while (naughty, naughty!) and had a hole to fill in my daily routine.

This is more than a toner though, you can use it by itself as a cleanser. I have to admit, I haven't done that. I've been using it after my make-up remover. I use it in the evenings by spraying it onto a cotton pad and I just go over my whole face, picking up any last bits of make-up. You can use it over your eyes as well, which is a bonus.

It leaves my skin feeling really cleansed and smooth. 

The lady at the shop said that I could use it like you would Fix Plus to refresh your face or make-up throughout the day, but I'm not sure if you can. 

 L'Occitane Fresh Face Water: £14

Mini Haul

I stopped off at Boots today to have a look at the new Bourjois Colorissimo lip pallettes. I fully intended to buy them (I even put two in my basket!) but I don't think I'd ever use them. I'm not a fan of the packaging - it reminds me of the sticky cheap lip gloss palettes I had when I was little. I just can't get my head around them. 

So this is what I bought instead (spot my Clinique freebie):  

I should warn you, this haul is Maybelline heavy; it was 3 for 2.

Weirdly, I've haven't tried a BB Cream yet. I've wanted one for ages but been a bit unsure about them. I read a few reviews last night and decided to just go for it. It was only £7.99, so I thought why not! 

 l-r: Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Ceramic Blue, Maybelline Forever Strong Pro in Hot Salsa and Barry M Nail Effects in Croc.

I've been reading  lot of good things about the Forever Strong Pro nail polishes, so really wanted to try them out. I bought the Hot Salsa because I have nothing like it. I bought Ceramic Blue despite everything I have is like it. :/

l-r: Maybelline Color Sensational Cream Gloss in Nude Pearl, Maybelline Color Sensational Luschious Lipgloss in Minty Sheer, Carmex, Maybelline Color Sensational Popsticks in Crystal Pink.

The first three items were just replacements/back-ups. 

Popsticks really intrigued me so I bought one to try. I'll probably go back for the orange one at some point.

Then I went into L'Occitane and picked up the Fresh Face Water. It's a toner and make-up remover, but you can use it with other products like make-up remover milks, which I have. The lady also said you can spritz in on over make-up in the day to refresh your skin. 

It says it's 'rich is Shea extract and in floral waters'. It smells so good! 

I've been a bit lazy recently, and have been skipping the toner step (tut tut) so had a gap to fill in my routine.

I'm really excited about using it!
