Bourjois Paris, Healthy Mix Foundation and Concealer

We all hate the time our foundation runs out, especially if your low on money. Trying to find a cheaper alternative is madness with the amount of products your faced with.

I was using the Estee Lauder Double Wear which retails about £28.00, although it is well worth the money being as amazing as it is, I couldn't justify spending that amount when I had other things to focus on.

I came across this Bourjois radiance reveal healthy mix foundation in Boots for £9.99. It caught my eye when it mentioned 'healthy mix' 'fruit therapy'. I instantly thought how much my skin would love this! With it including Apple, Melon and Apricot in its ingredients it targets on Radiance,  Hydration and Protection as well as giving a healthy glow to your skin. 

This foundation states to give you a flawless complexion for up to 16 hours! I have been wearing it everywhere, including working here I get hot from running around and can 100% say I am fully satisfied with the results at the end of a long day. The light creamy mixture gives an excellent coverage without the cakey blotches some products leave even after a long day.

The coverage is so easy to build with giving you the confidence and glow on each application. As you can see I am so happy with it that I purchased the concealer to! The concealer also comes packed with fruity ingredients, (Apple, Apricot and Raspberry Micro-circulation activator) so both work together to give you to flawless finish. With the foundation being 9.99 and the concealer being 7.99 you get a great combination for less money than one product. Boots are also doing 2 for £14 on selected Bourjois products which includes these 2 so you could get both of these for less!

KISS 'Brand New Looks So Natural Lashes & imPRESS Nails Lauch

I was lucky enough to go to the KISS event with Hatty on Wednesday 2nd July.
After a long trip to London on the coach and rush hour on the tubes we finally got to the Kiss event at the beautiful Home House where we was welcomed by so many lovely ladies! As soon as we entered they looked after us with a glass of wine and various of nibbles. The whole event was to celebrate KISS as a brand and to introduce the new 'Look So Natural Lashes' they have brought out along side there amazing imPRESS nails which are an alternative cheap and easy, natural looking manicure! They come in all sorts of designs and lengths which is great, but the thing that won me over was the fact you need no glue at all due to the pre-applied, pre-cured top gel on the nail which leaves no residue and damage to the nails like glue does!

My beautiful nails done at the event

I being a mum, don't get my nails done often, in fact its very rare!  My nails are just always covered in nail varnish to make them a little bit more presentable, but with these KISS imPRESS nails looking natural along with the shortness of the nail it has completely won me over! With it leaving no damage to the nail and taking only minutes to apply but being fully secure, its great to fit in during the day without working around things, waiting for nail varnish to dry! I love the mess free, professional result it leaves that lasts up to a week!

There was always something to do at the event whether it was getting your nails done or getting your lashes done. They even held a competition where we had the chance to design our own nails in 5 minutes for the chance to win some fabulous prizes!  We had to tweet the pictures with the hash tag #imPRESSin5 which was going to be judged by the one and only Leighton Denny! I wont even embarrass myself to show you my 5 minute mess!

It was so lovely to meet fellow bloggers, as well as others who designed their own sites, editors of magazines and beauty icons. It was a bit serial to be in the same room as Leighton Denny, Danielle Peazer, Gina Rio, Lizzie Cundy and so many more! We even had magic from the one and only Jasz Vegas.
I had an absolutely amazing time, Alex Silver PR done an absolutely amazing job with all the organizing along with Danielle Peazer who hosted it with co host Leighton Denny MBE. I am pretty sure we all left smiling and better groomed after all the great company and treats we had whilst at the event.

Thank you for the goody bag filled with wonderful things like, imPRESS nails in all sorts of designs, Looks So Natural Lashes in different styles and Nail Care Kits! I cannot wait to get my nails looking decent and my lashes looking glam! We are so lucky and truly thankful.

available in Superdrug from £5.99

#KISSLSNLashes

Have you tried the KISS products?

M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin

M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin £21.00

An ultra-fluid lotion formulated with special-effect silicones. Calms and soothes the skin, blots away excess oil, and evens out skin redness. Improves the laydown and application of foundation or powder.

M.A.C was offering free samples of Prep + Prime Skin on their website a few weeks back so I jumped at the chance to try out a primer as I have never thought it was necessary. With it being hotter than usual at the moment, my make up tends to slip and slide off my face. I have heard a lot of make up artist and beauty gurus recommend face primers but I thought it would just be an extra unnecessary product on my face.
I have a summer wedding coming up and the last thing you want is to having to keep topping up your make up so thought I would get this sample ready for the wedding!

I have tried it out a few times to see if its worth the rave and worth the extra product slapped on.
First thing I noticed was my make up being less of a task to apply. The primer left a flawless finish to the face, leaving a great base for the make up. My face was left feeling a lot smoother than usual after all products was applied, which is great for the overall look!
Recently it's been highs of 22° which is a average warmish day in England. I didn't do much today just sit and watched films with my daughter, played in the garden and a bit of housework until 3 when I had the dentist and a walk around town, but the sun still hit my face.

Overall, other than my nose, I think it's done pretty well considering the heat. My nose is no fault of M.A.C's, I blame the hay-fever and 1000 tissues I needed. That aside I didn't have to top up my make up meaning M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin done a great job against the heat. After a long day I was still left with great coverage which I don't normally have without a primer! I was amazed with the coverage around my nose area where I suffer from dry skin and redness, at the end of a hot day, the area was still covered leaving me with no worries to top up. It also states to blot away excess oil which with me being normal to dry skin combination, I can't really comment. However I do sometimes get an oily T-zone which wasn't a problem with me the day I tested. My face was left looking flawless and matte at the end of the day with M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin, when I am normally left with little or no coverage.

The only down side is, I was a little cakey in the eye area where concealer was added, so I don't no if it was one to many products for the under eye or I need a new concealer.

However, I am fully satisfied with the results that it left, means no worrying on the wedding day about make up coverage as M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin is on the case. I really enjoyed this primer as my main worry was it being to heavy and being an extra product on the face, but this primer is so light and moisturising that it just sinks into the skin like a moisturiser so you don't even feel like you have applied it.
I would recommend using it on long days and events so you are less worried about topping up your make up and more engaged in the party/event.

5 Make-up Product Challenge

I have recently watched Becca Rose's video on the 5 Make-up Product Challenge and thought I would give it a whirl! Basically the challenge explains itself. Do your make up, but limit the products you use down to 5!
I don't use many products on a daily basis anyway but missing a few products out can change the look a lot!
I normally use around 8 products daily which includes; Foundation,  Concealer, Powder,  Bronzer, Blusher, Eyebrow pencil,  Mascara and Tinted lip balm, maybe the odd eyeliner now and then.

This is the look I got with my chosen 5 products

Excuse the bad lighting, I do have bronzer on.  

I used Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, Bourjois Bronzing Powder, Rimmel Professional Brow Pencil and Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara.

This wasn't sponsored by Rimmel at all, I just clearly like Rimmel!

How many products do you use daily?

Take the challenge!

July's Birchbox.

July's Birchbox is a Sun, Sea and Sand theme to celebrate the beautiful weather we are having right now. Nothing makes you feel better than a beautiful day to wake up to and a Birchbox filled with goodies!

In this months box I received:

MODELS OWN Nail Polish £5
Stay on trend down to the tips of your toes with these gorgeous hard wearing nail polishes.
This nail varnish looks amazing! Filled with pink, silver, black and a shimmer of blue and green when it hits the light. Definitely a statement to the mails! I cannot wait to try this out.

BALANCE ME Wonder Eye Cream £20
A light hardworking formula to brighten the eye area and keep wrinkles at bay.
I have heard mixed reviews on this so eager to try it out and see which side I favor.  I love the fact it is 99% natural as I have just recently purchased the Yesto Carrots Moisturising Eye Cream which was also full with natural ingredients, however as I said in my recent post I wasn't noticing much improvement to my dark circles which it stated it would brighten. Hopefully this product will bring some hope to the natural eye creams!

LAQA & CO. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil In Menatour £14
A high gloss pencil to add a pop of sheer, nourishing and wearable colour.
I was a bit on the side with my first glimpse at this lip pencil. You may or may not no that I am not a huge lipstick fan and like to keep it quite nude unless its a night out. This is such a beautiful colour, (a pinkish but more purple) but am I brave enough to wear it?

BENEFIT The Porefessional £24.50
An award winning primer that magically erases pores and leaves skin velvety.
This is the winner of the box for me! I am so excited to see a primer in the box, let alone the Benefit one! I am just about to test out the M.A.C Prep and Prime Primer so it will be interesting to see which one wins it for me!

WHISH Three Whishes Lavender Body Butter £14.50
Not your granny's lavender - this sweet scented antioxidant rich lotion nourishes skin.
To be completely honest with you, I am not excited with this product as its not something I really use on an everyday basis and It's not really a brand I have heard of. I will give it a try as lavender is one of my favourite scents and my skin needs a bit of love.

FILOSOFILLE 4 - Sided Nail Buffer
Your at home DIY manicure made easy.
Is it just me or does everyone lose their nail files? This couldn't come at a better time as I am currently growing my nails out and most of them has just chipped! Me being me, has lost my nail vile. I like the look of this nail file as like it said, its a home DIY manicure, or the perfect size for your bag and traveling!

June Favourites

Yet another month has been and gone so here comes that post of my go to products of ...June! 

Crabtree & Evelyn Sky Bleu Pastel Nail Varnish*  £6.00

When I went to the Crabtree & Evelyn Oxford Event for their Handy Tips Handed Down Launch I received this nail polish in my goody bag. With baby blue being my favourite colour, I was excited to try it out! I have tried their nail varnishes before when I was offered a manicure at the event and it lasted pretty well. However,  I was a bit skeptical at first with me doing it as I didn't add a top coat of clear varnish whereas when I had the manicure, she did. I am so in love with the colour and really pops in the sunny weather. It dry's quickly which is always a good thing and last a decent few weeks without major chips, so I am pleased with the overall product!

Beauty Blender

I have already raved about this product in a whole blog post, which you can find out why it's in my favorites here, but I haven't yet raved about the cleanser, which is just as good as the product itself! It does exactly whats it suppose to do, leaving the sponge as good as new. With a solid cleanser it lasts so long and doesn't effect the product after wash! I recommend the solid cleanser if you have purchased the Beauty Blender to give you a proper clean with a hygienic finish to the sponge giving you more uses. 

Yesto Grapefruit Correct & Repair Wipes
 (can't find on boots website but normally £3.99)

I have also written a blog post up here about these wipes and I am still really enjoying using them! The smell is incredible. For the price of the product, you are left feeling fresh and glowing! I have already gone out and purchased more! 

Radox Uplifting Pink Grape & Basil Shower Gel £1.99

I no this is a bit of a strange product to chuck in but I am so fussy when it comes to shower gels as I like it simple but want it to smell good at the same time! I had a mint shower gel and literally chucked it away after 1 use as I hated the tingle it left on my skin! This shower gel smooths you skin and leaves you smelling lovely! I love the natural ingredients its added and can't get enough, literally wish you could smell it through this screen!

N.Y.C Color Wheel Blusher - Plum Passion £2.99
(alternative)

This has had a little bash but I can't stop using it! It was a mix of of pretty colours including rose and light pink. It gives such a lovely natural blush to the cheek and gives out so much pigment so it will be long lasting. I got this ages ago and can no longer find it but I am really enjoying blushers that have a mix of colours added as I think it gives a lovely finish.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water £4.99
I have really enjoyed using this! It is so light and hydrating that it leaves the skin clean and clear feeling refreshed with little product needed. I love it because it is multi-purpose so you can use it to remove all make up, even eyes! It removes make up easily and soothes the skin without leaving any sticky residue.  Like I said, you only need a little product and states that you can get 200 uses out of it so its great value for money!

Beauty Blender Review

Beauty Blender - Around £16

You no that product that you've only just started using but you instantly know you love it already?  Yea! Say hello to the Beauty Blender!

I was so happy to open my June Birchbox to see the beauty blender!  As I said on my previous post I have purchased many replicas of the beauty blender but never had the guts to spend the money on the real thing! I didn't really no what to expect after using so many replicas, but once hearing many beauty guru's rave about how good it is, I was dying to crack it open and try it.

Once I opened it I was amazed with how soft and spongy it was after using replicas that was quite hard. I paired it with my current foundation which is the Estee Lauder Double Wear which worked great together giving a full coverage as well as a smooth finish. I definitely noticed a better finish to the foundation with the beauty blender than I did with a brush, giving it more of a natural looking finish with no patches. It has honestly changed my views on my current make up tools and have found my new favourite applicator for foundation. Some people find it uses more time up using the beauty blender than a brush but I find it saves me time in my new make up routine. The sponge for me helps the foundation go onto the skin evenly, giving a more natural finish than the brush. This is because with the beauty blender you use a dabbing technique to even the product out so you get no harsh lines whereas with the brush, I found needs more of a build up of blending to even the product out or you could be left with patches of excess foundation. This could be because my foundation is a thin liquid  so needs more work or I could of just been a blending maniac with a brush making sure it was all even with no brush marks. Either way I enjoy using the beauty blender more.

It is the perfect size for your make up bag and great for travelling. This one came with a solid cleanser to clean it with so it makes it much easier to keep the beauty blender clean and hygienic.

Overall I am so happy with the results the beauty blender left me. I would happily purchase this myself and would 100% recommend it to my friends. Replicas do not live up to the real thing as they aren't as spongy so works more of a stamp applicator then a sponge blender so can definitely reassure that you are getting your moneys worth, especially if you look after it with the cleanser.

Have you tried it out yet?

W7 RUBY RED KISS LIPSTICK*

It has taken me absolutely ages to find a bold red lipstick that is wearable and affordable, but I think I have finally found it! This W7 lipstick is literally my dream in a tube! The colour is perfect along with the texture it leaves on the lips. With me only loving matt finish lipsticks this has ticked all the boxes for me. 

I love that it is matt but doesn't dry the lips so is wearable with or without lip gloss on top. I do however suggest a lip liner before applying this lipstick so it doesn't bleed onto the skin as it gives out so much product. It is so nice to find a lipstick that goes on the lip with hardly any pressure which gives the lip full coverage in one coat! The pigment is unbelievable. 

I am so happy with the colour, texture and coverage it gives, however I think the packaging is a bit cheap but with its price tag you can't complain, plus the product itself makes up for it! 

A red lip really does make you feel 10 times better.

Overall I found it to be long lasting even after drinking, eating and kissing my daughter goodnight (although she had a lovely red smudge on her face) which is a bonus if you want it to last throughout a long messy night! 

This has been my favourite red lipstick I have come across so far and will defiantly be purchasing it in the future. 

W7 Ruby Red Lipstick - £4.95

June Birchbox

In June's Birchbox there is a football theme with it being the world cup!
They have gone for the Brazil colours with the world cup being held there. To tie in with the football theme they have selected beauty items from each country to include in each box and I am so happy with what I received in mine:

Beauty Blender & Blender Cleanser Solid - £16
An ingenious egg shaped make up sponge to ensure a flawless base- plus a soild soap to clean it.
I am so excited to have received the beauty blender! I cannot wait to try this baby out! I have brought many replicas, but not had the guts to spend the money on the real thing. After hearing all the great reviews from the beauty guru's I am dying to try it out and be amazed! I have already opened it like a child on Christmas. It is so soft and spongy, I just no it will love it!

Yves Rocher Sheer Botanical Lipstick - £9.90
A sheer glossy lipstick infused with moisturising cherry oil to leave lips lusciously soft.
Lip colour 22.Corail Doux. This isn't a shade I would pick up myself but I am willing to give it a try. It states to melt onto the lips and enhances them with a glossy colour that gives you the coverage you want, which is what I look for in a lipstick. 

OPI Nail Lacquer- The Brazil Collection - £11.95
A vibrant polish inspired by Brazil's tropical rainforests and sandy beaches.
As you all no I am a lover of nail varnishes! I love all colours and always get excited about new brands. This is also a brand I haven't come across before so am excited to see the colour, coverage and wear.

Naobay Body Radiance Lotion - £14.00
A lemony fresh organic body lotion with shea butter, olive and avocado oils for soft skin.
This body lotion says it deeply moisturizes the skin leaving skin velvety smooth, comfortable and soft, so I can't wait to put it to the test. I love the fact it is natural and organic with a lot of great natural ingredients so if it wins me over, it may be my new go to body lotion. I have already viewed the website and love how simple the full sized packaging is.

Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre - £12.99
This cult French moisturiser soothes the skin with natural ingredients and is suitable for all.
With my Liz Earle moisturizer running low the Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Nourishing Moisturizer couldn't of come at a better time! With it stating to be multipurpose for face and body, ideal for babies, children and adults as well as leaving a satin finish with no stickiness, I have high hopes for this product to leave me wanting more.

Birchbox Brazil Inspired Keyring (which I will put straight on my keys)

Recent Empties

I have finally used up a few products so here is my first empties post!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub £5.50

Ok I was very late on the band wagon with this but Is it just me that got bored of this quiet quickly? Don't hate me, I love the taste, I was quite happy to sit there and eat it but I wasn't won over with it on my lips. It did give my lips a scrub, getting rid of the dead skin leaving them chap free but I instantly wanted to get it off my lips. I think it was just the stickiness it left on my lips.

So once I applied this and gave a good scrub I instantly wiped it off and applied lip balm giving me smooth, chap free, lush lips. I personally won't buy this again although they work perfectly as a scrub, I just wasn't a fan. 

Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream £21.00

I am so sad to have used this all up because it has done wonders to my hands and nails. I won't go into to much detail as I have written a blog post on it here, but it does exactly what it is meant to and truly worth the money. 

Garnier Simple Essentials Eye Make-up Remover £2.99
I have loved using this! It is so light on the eye but gives a instant clean with no added perfume, colourants or alcohol it leaves no irritation. For £2.99 it really is a great product to have in your skin care routine with it being a quick and easy step to make up free eyes without leaving a sticky, oily residue. This is defiantly on my repurchase list!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer £5.49
This concealer was rediscovered  in my draw after I lost it, but I used it quite quickly due to the amazing coverage it gives out. It is my go to consealer for my redness and dark circles and it never let me down. Its is perfect for covering unwanted spots giving them the cover you want. It is one of my favorites alongside Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19. Either one of these concealers will always be in my make up bag as they are so cheap for what they do! Real life savers for the earlier mornings.

Crabtree & Evelyn Handy Tips, Handed Down

Crabtree & Evelyn enjoyed our company so much last time they invited us back! This time it was for their launch of Handy Tips, Handed Down.
After smelling all the scents and walking away with a lovely hand massage and manicure last time I couldn't resits going back for more!

4th June

I, along with Hatty arrived in Oxford and went straight to Crabtree & Evelyn where we was greeted by all the lovely staff. They laid out a few nibbles with a lovely jug of buck-fizz which went down a treat. They told us more about the new Handy Tips, Handed Down tree which is open to everyone, share a tip which gets displayed on the tree for your chance to win a family photo shoot experience worth £600 and you automatically get a £5 off voucher to spend in store!

I really enjoyed reading all of the other tips the public have already shared and have walked away eager to try new things and techniques! I shared a tip and got my £5 off voucher, which I will be spending on a couple of hand creams as I loved my last one I received which you can read about here.

Jess getting her hand massage.

We then had a lovely talk with the staff and looked around the shop smelling and testing all of the products. They have a fantastic men's section which looked amazing but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture (silly me). The store is filled with lovely products and great hampers, ideal for a special occasion. I was instantly drawn to the packaging of all the products and couldn't resist smelling everything that caught my eye.
We had the chance to have our nails done and have a lovely hand massage with a scent of our choice which was so relaxing.
Thank you to the staff at Crabtree & Evelyn Oxford for inviting us and treating us! I can't wait to try out my new hand cream and nail varnish.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Me, Hatty, Stephanie and Hannah then went and grabbed something to eat at Cleaver which was a lovely finish to the night. I really enjoyed getting to no the girls a bit more! Be sure to check out their blog!

May Favourites

Hello June!

May has been and gone already!
It's literally flew by, leaving me little time to try out new stuff, but here are couple of products that I have been reaching for throughout may.

Barry M Nail Paint. - Starting around £2.30
If you follow me on Instagram you no I'm a lover on nail varnishes!  Especially Barry M. My sister got me Blue Moon 410 and Berry 402 for my birthday and I can't get enough of them! They are such perfect colours for the season and you can build the colour with how many coats you want. They leave a beautiful shine giving your nails a flawless finish that last for ages!

Avon Advance Techniques Styling Heat Protection Spray - £2.70
I haven't used heat on my hair for ages as I've been attempting to grow it. Throughout may I've been wearing my hair down a lot and like it to be straight so needed some heat protection to help me out before I use heat on my hair. This is cheap yet does the job in protecting the hair from heat and leaving a shine without making the hair oily.

Cutex Ultra Cleansing Nail Polish Remover - £1.00 (100ml)
I am super impressed with how long this has lasted me. Its been months! A little product goes a long way and May, my nails probably had every colour going which this has done exactly what it is meant to getting rid of the nail polish with hardly any pressure, leaving my nails fresh for the next product.

Rimmel London Kate Rockin’ Curves Mascara - £4.99
I saw this on offer and was instantly attracted to the packaging and the Broken heart shaped brush which is so good to work with giving your lashes a full coat whilst curling the lashes. I however didn't look at what colour I picked up and accidentally picked 005 Eye Rock Sapphire instead of Black but luckily it doesn't give off to much colour. This does a great job giving volume to the lashes whilst not ending up clumpy!

What's been your go to beauty items recently?

Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk Razor*

Hydrates skin longer than any other razor, leaving skin silky smooth up to 2 hours after shaving.

After reading this and the simple steps of this razor I couldn't wait to have a bit of me time and put it to the test!

               
The first thing about this razor that I absolutely love is the fact that this razor is already filled with moisturising serum so after shaving your legs the razor has already done the next step for you making it a quick and easy job done in less than 5 minutes.

This shaver has completely changed my view on razors! I, hands up admit that I am a very lazy person when it comes to shaving my legs! I NEVER get my legs out without skin colour tights as I absolutely hate my legs, so I am one of these people who buy the cheapest razors out there.
With 5 curved sensing blades and unique skin guards you get the shave you want with the protection you need making this the best shave I've had with no irritation. This pack comes with a case to keep the razor head protected making it safe and perfect for travelling!

I for sure, no I wont be going back to the cheap razors! They do they job, but not as well as the Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk Razor which gives you a close cut as well as leaving your legs silky and smooth and with me having a 2 year old cutting out the moisturising step after shaving has truly saved a lot of time giving me more mummy time!

Now on offer at Boots for £4.99 was £9.99!!
BUY HERE

*Although I was gifted this item, I am not paid for this review, everything I have said is 100% my personal opinion.

April Favorites.

Sleek Lip Balm*
I was going to purchase this (Bare Minimum -beautiful nude colour) after seeing Gabby from velvetghost on YouTube included it in one of her get ready with me videos but then I noticed I already had it in the Oxford meet goody bag. I fell in love with this as soon as it touched my lips! It gives out plenty of moisture and really glosses and lightly colours the lips.
£4.49

Barry M Brow Kit
To be quiet honest with you I wasn't to sure on this at first as its quite a heavy brown and me having my hair coloured dark blonde I was a bit on the edge. After giving it a fair chance I have come to love it! I don't spend to much time on my browns so don't want to spend a lot of money so this is perfect. It has everything you need for the perfect brow!  Read more about it here. 
£5.99

Garnier Shampoo ultimate Blends and Garnier 1 Minute Hair Treatment
I brought these as they was in a really good deal at wilkinsons so jumped at the chance to try out new products for my hair. With me trying to grow my hair and not using any heat on my hair i can't really do much with my hair so it leaves me shoving it up in a messy bun ALL the time so my hair has become quiet dull and dry. I fell in love with these as its does exactly what its meant to, leaving my hair feeling light, clean and shiny and giving it all the goodness that is impact in the bottle. CURRENTLY ON OFFER. Buy here.

St Ives Scrub* 
I have recently wrote a blog post about this which you can read about here. 100% love this product!

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Primer* 
I don't wear eye shadow a lot but this primer is also used for a base for your concealer so I was excitement to try this when I received it as my concealer is my most used product from my make up bag. I does exactly what its meant to do and I have no worries during the day that my dark circles are popping through my make up! I will definitely purchase the original size!
£20.50

Ralph Lauren Big Pony Pink N.O 2
Non beauty, but I can not walk out the house without it! Smells so fruity making the day feel better instantly.
£36.99

Topshop Nail Varnish* Flash (Not on the website)

What's your current favorites?
