Bare Minerals Haul

Okay I might be a little late jumping on the bare minerals bandwagon but boyyyyyy have I been missing out. After reading countless reviews and umming and aahing over the beauty counters I knew I finally needed these in my life! So it's 5pm...Sunday afternoon....what's a girl to do??...Internet shopping of course!
One thing I love about Internet shopping is it gives me the chance to think purchases through before I pay, also no feeling obliged by the counter assistants but most importantly...easy to shop around to get the best prices! Money saved = more money for more make up :)
The site I found Bare Minerals crazy discounted and plenty of other brands (I had to be restrained) was Chemist Direct.
www.chemistdirect.co.uk
So not just an online pharmacy...more like a treasure trove for us beauty bargain hunters...we are talking OPI, Le Roche Posay, Burts Bees and so much more!
So click click click and I bought Illuminating mineral veil and these gorgeous 2 eyeshadows below.




Swatches.
Queen Phyllis




True Gold




These beautiful shades will no doubt be my summer "go to" colours.
Best of all my delivery was with me on Tuesday!!!! I'm an impatient girl when it comes to make up so this fared well with me:) Reviews to follow and photos!
I also picked up a few OPI colours...I'll be sharing those with you in another post x

Badger Balm - This girl needs sleep

Okay....slightly different post today. Technically not beauty related but all still very close to my heart...sleep!
Now remember this picture I shared with you all before of my ideal bedroom.



I've recently redecorated and my room most certainly is following a fresh white clean romantic theme.
I have this whole theory....clean fresh room = good sleep = calm
fresh clear mind. I'm always on the quest for anything good for the soul and sleep is one of them. I discovered badgers balm on twitter when I heard people raving about it and thought "I need this"!!!



So of course I ordered this within all of 5 seconds and have used it everyday for the past week. I was definitely excited but slightly wary as The Body Shop sleep products didn't suit me (scary dreams).
Anyway badgers balm is fantastic! It has gorgeous lavender and bergamot tones and in my eyes an absolute winner! It was £3.99 and it's generously sized. Huge thumbs up, I'll be ordering more from this range for sure. All available from Bath & Unwind online.

Google Friend Connect.

Soap & Glory Stash

Thought it was about time i had a little sort out of my Soap & Glory products as I've got quite a collection as you can see. I couldn't quite believe how much i actually had till i lay it all out but i will start to get through it now and be reviewing it all very soon. I love their products...i find they are reasonably priced and really do what they say:)x

Test post

Test post ladies having a few blogger issues. I've lost my pictures on my blog from last year...no idea why but I'm hoping they reappear. If anybody else has had issues with this on their blogspot account please let me know how you rectified it.
Thanks x

Carmine February Box

Ah my Carmine box has arrived and of course as always i stood there shaking it till it finally opened:) Wow Wow Wow! So very impressed with this months contents and very cheered up after the disappointment of this months GlossyBox.

Ok a break down of the contents...








Steamcream - (Full size) This is most definitely my favourite product! I see these all the time in Boots and wonder whether to buy them or not, the tins are so so cute and they retail at around £10. I am super pleased with this and it will now be a firm addition to my handbag.
Andrea Fullerton Nail Colour - (Full size) I got a creamy nude colour which is pretty, not sure its quite me but its still nice.
Balance Me Rose Otto Bodywash - Always nice to have new shower gels to try.
Diego Dalla Palma Lipstick - (Mini) I received a coral colour which ill give a go during the summer months.
White Glow Toothpaste - (Mini) Perfect for weekends away or a weeks holiday so gratefully received.
Also a fragrance sample thrown in - Yardley Peony Fragrance.
I love this months box, Carmine never fails which is pretty amazing as there are usually plenty of grumbles about other boxes *cough cough GlossyBox. I think all beauty box companies need to listen to their subscribers as there is so many different boxes out there and its so easy to unsubscribe.
Anyway i cant say ive ever considered unsubscribing to Carmine i love it and happily reccomend it to everybody...so if your umming and aaahing then dont...Subscribe Now!!!x
