Anddd another!

I've bought another Cactus! I have 7 now.. haha I'm not going to buy anymore for a while. Anywho, meet Herbert!
Some of you.. I mean most of you are probably thinking 'Oh my dear lord' :P


How cute is he?!
Cactus from local florist for 99p, Plant pot and dish around 30p each from Wilkinsons

Here he is with his friends (He's the one in the middle). Look how small he is compared to the rest! Dear of him.. also the older ceramic pots are going dirty/chalky so they need cleaning.

Ok that's enough of my Cacti collecting (For now :P) as I'm sure you couldn't care less. I have a lot of reviews coming up so watch out for them!

Nails Of The Week - Rimmel's Rose Libertine 405

Rose Libertine 405

This is my first Rimmel nail polish! I really don't know why! I've been trying to cut back on the amount of nail polish I buy. I've wanted this colour for ages and I think it's absolutely beautiful. It's like a muted salmon pink :) I love the brush, rounded at the end. Certainly made painting my nails easier.
Packaging, formula and price (£3.49) all great, what more could you ask for?

Bargainacious!

The Body Shop. I walked in there today and was a good girl. Why you ask? Well some of their body butters were on sale from £12.50 down to £5 and I didn't buy one!
They didn't have any hair brushes which is what I went in for in the first place so off I went.
I'm so glad I didn't buy the body butters because I've just been on The Body Shop's website and they have been reduced even further to just £3!

The Body Shop can be expensive but you can get some real bargains when they have a sale. I also love that you get free delivery when you spend £15.

Here's what I have just purchased:

Raspberry Body Butter - SALE £5 and under
Raspberry Body Butter 200ml £3 in the sale

Almond Body Butter - SALE £5 and under
Almond Body Butter 200ml £3 in the sale - My sister has an Almond body butter and it smells like Cherry Bakewells!

Paddle Brush - SALE £5 and under
Paddle Brush £5 in the sale

Small Cushion Brush - SALE £5 and under
Small Cushion Brush £3 in the sale

Nail File Bright Floral - £5 and under Gifts
Nail File £1.50

The four Body Butters I like are Coconut, Cocoa Butter, Raspberry and Almond so I'm glad two of them are in the sale. I really really really wish they did a Vanilla one again as that's my favourite scent.

So go on! Go have a look at what they're offering :)

Shop!


Accessorize has a sale on! Good thing- Cheaper prices (You can then buy more stuff :P), Bad thing- Women. That sounds sexist to my own sex haha but you understand right? Lets just stand there and not let people in! Oh and one woman decided to park her pram right infront of the sale items. Congratulations on having a baby! But move the hell outta my way please?

Aha anyway, I needed a new school bag so I got this hugeeeeee one! It also has a zip and compartments inside. This originally was £22 but was in the sale for £11!

Turquoise cuff bracelet £4.50 down from £9
Both of the other two were down to £5 from £10

Oh and I would like to thank Josh for waiting in this crowded little shop for what felt like a lifetime, cheers babes ;)


Boots: Nail varnish remover, £1.99 and Rimmel's Rose Libertine Nail Polish, £3.49 - I've wanted this colour for agesssss!
Superdrug: Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash by Neutrogena, £2.99 (£2.69 with Josh's student discount :D) - Smells just like pink grapefruit, yummy!


Haha good old Wilkinsons! You ready for this?

Left column top to bottom:
Skin Therapy Facial Wipes, 2 for 97p
Simple Exfoliating Body Wash and Simple Soothing Shower Cream, both 97p
Wide toothed comb, 59p - Better for when your hair is wet to prevent damage!

Middle column top to bottom:
Wine Gums (for a friend,) £3.94
Notebook, 85p - This paper is recycled and is really good quality!
Rulers lol I'm always loosing mine, 9p

^Getting a few more cacti's at the weekend. I've already got 6 but I love them!
'Fling Ring' for my doggie, £1.75 - She loves it and sadly has already chewed through it after half an hour! I better not leave her alone with it from now on.

So that's it my lovelies. I still need a few summer clothes and stationary but that's for another day. I'm thinking of going Asda to get them both at one time. I can then have a little look at their jewellery too ;)

Face of the day

Ew. This is the best picture I could get and I still look disgusting.

I'm not going anywhere today so I thought I would try out a red lippie! I'm also testing how long it lasts for an upcoming review. I wouldn't wear this out during the day but I would if I was going out for the night (With winged black eyeliner).

I'm wearing:
Bloom's Mineral Plus Lipstick in Ragtime
Bloom's Full and Flirty Waterproof Fake Lash Mascara (The photo's really don't do it justice, I just have small eyelashes!)

Lunch of today

I don't write these types of posts because A. My meals are normally boring and B. This isn't a blog where I keep track of my diet. BUT today my lunch was scrummy and it makes me look healthy ;)

Tomato soup with a diced fresh tomato and pepper corn, accompanied by wholemeal rolls.

Yum!

I find soup boring so I added the tomato to have something to chew on!

Bloom Cosmetics

Here are some photo's of a few Bloom Cosmetics that I will be reviewing in the next few weeks, kindly sent to me by Superdrug.
I haven't heard much of this brand before and that's probably because it is an Australian brand. You can look on their website at the products and there are tons! and I am intrigued by what they have to offer as they look really good (The lipstain for one). Unfortunately it's an Australian website so I don't think we can purchase from there but Bloom Cosmetics are available in selected Superdrug stores. If they're in your Superdrug, you're very lucky!

For some reason the photo's I take are going blurry. This is really annoying as I cannot afford to get a new camera.
But here is what I was sent:

Gradual Tan Face, Full & Flirty Waterproof Fake Lash Mascara in Black, Shadow Liner in Soft Taupe, Lip Definer in Lusciously Lined and Mineral Plus Lipstick in Ragtime.

See what I mean?! I've tried all types of lighting, but I think my camera is dying :(
Anyway from top to bottom: Shadow Liner in Soft Taupe, Lip Definer in Lusciously Lined and Mineral Plus Lipstick in Ragtime.

When I first opened the lipstick I was like 'Woaah' as I don't wear red lipsticks but when applied with a light hand it looks absolutely gorgeous; natural berry stained lips.

Here is the website where you can check out what other products they have to offer: http://www.bloomcosmetics.com/. Admittedly though, they are quite expensive.

If you go to http://bloomcosmetics.com/STOCKISTSLIST.aspx you can find out if a Superdrug near you stocks them :)
As well as buying in store, you can also purchase Bloom Cosmetics from http://www.superdrug.com/Brand/Bloom/icat/bloom


Oh and, how nice is the packaging?!
