Ramblings...

I've ordered the boots! (See post below). I'm slightly peeved though because to order from Next, you have to be 18 or older. I can have sex and get pregnant, yet I can not order online? erm ok. All the other sites I have bought off of do not have that age requirement. I lied about my age though, I want the boots so badly! lol. It doesn't matter anyway, the age requirement is there so Next don't get in trouble (Normally with angry parents when their daughters have bought too much! haha) and they can say 'Well it is in the terms and conditions'. I also have my dads permission, so what can they do? NOTHING.

Got work experience to think about, and now I am having Careers lessons to help me decide which Uni's to go too, its so scary! I think I want to do something along the lines of Advertising/Media but that's all I know. I wish I knew exactly what I wanted to do so I can have a clear path to go down. This also sounds stupid, but I can't go to a Uni on my own, I just can't. I can't even get a part time job because I'm so shy and nervous! I just want to know someone when going 'up a level in life' lol.

My birthday on the 20th! Wooo. On the 22nd me and 17 friends are going Pizza Hut and Bowling lol, simple and fun + were not old enough to go out on the town!

If you have read this, I appreciate it!

Roll on Friday!

Can not wait till Friday! That's when I get my money and I have already added a top, jumper and tights to my Newlook basket ready to buy. I have also added a pair of black suede ankle boots to my Next basket. They are slouchy and exactly what I've been looking for! I was going to get brown or grey but I think black look better when wearing black tights or leggings. They are £35 which for me, is a bit pricey, but since I have been buying cheap Primark shoes (I love my £1.96 shoes though!) I think I can allow myself to buy one pair of expensive shoes!
Here is a picture of them:

EyesLipsFace Haul

The shipping was very fast, arrived in two days :)

Before this haul, I had two make-up brushes: an eyelash/brow comb and an old blush brush which I used everything for so I was in need of a few brushes:

Complexion Brush £3.50

Blush Brush £3.50

Eye shadow C Brush £3.50

^ These are all extremely soft and am looking at ordering more.

Eyelash & Brow Wand £1.50

Mechanical Eyelash Curler £1.50

^ These seem pretty good so far.

All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade £1.50


All Over Color Stick in Persimmon £1.50

All Over Color Stick in Lilac Petal £1.50


All Over Color Stick in Spotlight £1.50

^ I've had a stick like these before. So far I really like them, the only problem is, their not very creamy (The stick I've already got (From a magazine lol) is very creamy) so I would suggest warming these up on your finger before applying.

Mini Make-up Collection FREE as I spent over £15.

^ The eyeshadows are sooo soft! & the blush is just gorgeous, like a coral with subtle shimmer. Does anyone know if this blush is sold separately? Like, is a shade from the mineral blushes, or is it the same blush from the duo? Because I want to buy it in full.

Full reviews of products coming soon.

I've been wanting to order so much of their products for a while now but when ordering, I just didn't want anything. I have all the make-up I need.

My birthday is next Wednesday so my sister took me into Superdrug the other day so I can pick out any make-up products I wanted - There was nothing I wanted! I'm quite pleased with myself lol

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Review

Sweetie Pie
For Christmas, my mum received the 'Sparkle' gift set, but as she already has too many body products, she gave me this!

Description:

Sweet and sophisticated fruitiness. Lashings of blackcurrant and bergamot essential oils in a sour cherry and coconut jelly make this about as fruity as you can get. It is incredibly difficult to resist taking a spoonful. Instead, take a handful and smooth it over your hair and body. Passing strangers will smell you and find their minds wandering to fruit pastilles.


Price:

£2.30 for 100g


My Review:

This smells like sweet blackcurrant - mmmm and the smell lingers which is always good. It lathers up really well and leaves your skin feeling soft and clean.

As it is a jelly, I found it quite hard to hold without it slipping everywhere so I think it would be better to use frozen. This way you can crush it on to your body and as it would be cold, it will refresh your skin.


Would I repurchase: No. Not because the product is bad, its actually very good. But £2.30 for a shower gel is quite expensive and there are loads of regular shower gels which do the same job, but for less.

EyesLipsFace

I've just ordered from ELF!

Believe it or not, the only make-up brushes I own are a eye lash/brow comb and a rubbish blush brush which I have been using for everything: face powder, corrective powder, blush and bronzer - it just will not do!

I got a few brushes and some All Over Color Sticks. For ages I've been wanting to buy all of their bronzers, blushes, concealers etc... but when ordering, I just didn't want any. I have all of the make-up I need already, so I just ordered the colour sticks for blush and highlighting. They have a new shade called spotlight which is like a white so I'll be seeing how this does for a highlighter.

Hard Lush Decisions...

I like everything from Lush but personally, I find the bath ballistics a waste of a few pounds as their used up so quickly! I also don't use face masks and find their body butters and facial cleansers etc... a bit expensive. But I do want to start using soap more often. There are 8 I want and it comes to just over 20 pounds for all 8. This is waaay too much money to spend on soap! But I can't limit them down :(



Rock Star

Porridge soap

Vanilla In The Mist

Ice Blue

Honey I Washed The Kids

I Should Coco

Miranda

MudFlats (In retro section. Had before and really liked it)

Superdrug Haul

I bought this little lot today :) - I only went in for some shampoo!

I've tried about five of Vitamin E's products as my mum got them for Christmas. I really like them so I thought I'd get some more, plus I need a good routine :)

Cleanser and eye make-up remover 2 for £3

Facial scrub 2 for £3 ( Couldn't find a picture of the scrub so used the facial wash instead. I've already been using this scrub and like it more than St.Ives. It has oaty bits in it :) )

Moisture cream 2 for £3 - I need to start moisturising!


Illuminating moisture cream 2 for £3 (Packaging is different to what is shown above, crappy Superdrug website!) I am really looking forward to trying this out.

Original Source Lime shower gel £1

Original Source Lemon shower gel £1. I love both of these so much! They smell divine and the lemon one, to me, smells like lemon cheesecake - mmmm!


Coconut & Sweet Almond shampoo 97p

I also got a free pack of face wipes because I spent over £5. Do you think their trying to get rid of them? lol
