Famous Blusher

This is without a doubt my favourite blusher at the moment..

Love. Love. LOVE! <3

The Famous range is a Superdrug exlusive brand which i would say is pretty decent price wise. It's somewhere inbetween MUA and Max Factor, not dirt cheap but definately affordable.

 I first discovered this blusher when i asked my friend where her's was from.. I noticed that she always had a gorgeous pink glow on her cheeks and it seemed to stay put all day. It turned out to be Shade 2 - Rose Glow, which is a blush of 5 different pastel colours with a gold flex that gives a really lovely highlighted effect on the skin.

I can't remember exactly how much this cost but i think it was between 5-6 pounds. Bargain in my eyes, I will be purchasing again!

Superdrug Intensive Hand Cream

I won't try and dazzle your minds with an in depth review about hand cream because let's face it.. it's just hand cream! but i did think this one was worth a little mention nonetheless.. It's only 79p from Superdrug for a start, i love how affordable their own brand products are and how they keep the packaging simple but still attractive enough to want to buy.

I would recommend this cream to any of you lovely's who are jetting away on your jollies in the coming weeks as it is 75ml, perfect hand luggage size so you won't get a ticking off at security. As most of you know i fly for a living and i can tell you that being up in the air seriously dries your skin out, especially your hands! so having a tube of this lovely stuff really helps to keep them moisturised throughout your journey and leaves you feeling a bit less like a dried up old leaf! It's got a really nice fragrance that isn't too overpowering and is nice and light in formula - no sticky hands!

I always have one of these little beauties in my handbag and i'm hoping that looking after my hands now will pay off in years to come :)

MUA Lipstick Shade 5

This is definately my go to lipstick at the moment. I absolutely love it. From the MUA collection at Superdrug it is an amazeballs £1 so is probably one of the cheapest around. This particular shade is a very light dusky pink colour with hints of glitter - fear not, the glitter is minimal and you will not look like you are going to a 7 year old's disco!

It actually applies quite sheer compared to some of the other colours in the range, but thats what i like about it. You can really slather it on so your lips are nice and creamy without worrying that you've made a complete mess, you don't even really need a mirror to pop it on, very handy! I like how natural it is and i've worn it to work a few times recently and had some nice comments, just goes to show you don't always have to have ridiculously bright lips! I'd say this is more of a daytime colour and would suit paler skin tones.. and for 100 pennies you can't go wrong! :)

Shopping Success!

Today i hit the shops.. again! Mainly in search of items to match my ladies day races dress. I haven't photographed this yet as i don't think one on the hanger will do it justice, and i'd much rather show it you in all it's glory on the day :) so stay tuned for that!

I was on the hunt for shoes, a bag and some jewellery today and managed to get all of these and also pick up a few other random bits along the way! Primark was a big hit for me again today just can't get enough of it at the moment! So kind to the purse. Here's my haul..



4 Pack of Rings - £2.00 Primark


Gold Headband - £1 Primark



Bangles - £3 Primark


Bracelets (to be worn as fancy anklets) - £1 Each Primark


Multipack Studs - £2.00 Primark


Yellow Cardi - Reduced to £5 Primark


Aztec Cardi - Reduced to £5 Primark


Heels - £12 Primark


Gold Watch - £14.99 Argos


Gold Clutch - £7.99 H&M


Gold Dolly Shoes - £14.99 H&M


Famous Blush - £6.50 Superdrug

As you can see A LOT of gold going on here as most of it is for my outfit! I'm really chuffed with the cardi's, Primark seems to be reducing all of their winter stock at the moment so there is some bargain's to be had! The aztec one actually looks a lot like one i had my eye on in Republic a few weeks ago, but for a fraction of the price!

The blush i was absolutely over the moon to find, it is by far the best blusher i have ever used and when i'd tried my friends i was desperate to get my hands on it but was told it had been discontinued! :( me and my friend hunted high and low at every Superdrug store and it did seem to be true until today.. when we spotted a handful of them on the shelf. Turns out they aren't discontinuing it after all so happy days! :) i will be doing a proper review on this soon cause i absolutely love it.

Hope you have all had a lovely day and are looking forward to the bank holiday weekend! i am working the whole of it so bohoo. But it'll all be worth it when i have next weekend off for ladies day!

Happy Early Easter!
