Lush Haul

 This smells incredible! It reminds me of The Comforter, which is my all-time favourite.

 This smells so fresh and clean. The pattern is so cute as well.

 I bought Fun in yellow and green. I bought them online so I wasn't sure what smell I would like best. I've used them so far to hand wash clothes and in the shower. I think they're ok, but I need to play around with them a little more.

Clockwise from top left: Porridge Soap, Party Popper, Fun in Yellow (vanilla), North Pole Soap in Pink (mint chocolate), Glogg Shower Gel ( This is amazing! It reminds me of my trip to Munich last Christmas and the smell of the Christmas markets and the Gluhwein stands. Heavenly!), Snow Globe Soap, Fun in Green, Mr. Punch Soap, Candy Mountain Bubble Bar.

Topshop Makeup

I posted a picture of my Topshop envelope on my Instagram (charcassidy) last week.

l-r: Lipstick in Powder Room (£7), Matte Finish Moisturising Lipstick in Whimsical (£8).

Powder Room is a powdery pink colour which is so easy to wear. I've wanted to try their lipstick pencils for ages! I'm really happy with my purchase.
Whimsical is described online as a 'pinky nude' but on me it looks more of an orangey nude. I'm looking forward to wearing this as I don't have much orange in my make-up collection (I only have Saffron eyeshadow by MAC).

Do you have any Topshop make-up?
What should I buy next?

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!
