I wear foundation or BB cream nearly every day, however I recently realised that I don't wash my brushes as often as I most likely should and I tend to use the same brush; I had an epiphany: buy more brushes.
I'm a big fan of topshop for party pieces and treats, however I don't tend to shop there very often. Never the less, I've seen a lot of things in there recently that I am in love with and may need to have a bit of a splurge on.
I'm usually a big fan of budget foundations - Rimmel has some of the best. But when I saw this foundation for just £2 I had to try it - £2 is probably the cheapest foundation you're ever going to find on the high street, and being a Makeup Revolution fan, I had high hopes. Let's start by saying that I wasn't impressed.
Oopsy daisy she went to Primark again! I'm gradually collecting things for my upcoming trip to Siena so I have a excuse... ish. The first things I picked up were boring basics - some of their Gentle Face Wipes which are £1 for two packs and work well if I'm feeling lazy or make a mistake whilst doing my makeup. I also picked up these 5 toothbrushes for 75p! I've mentioned before my weird habit of needing a new toothbrush when I go on holiday, so these should see me through this year, as well as this Citrus Ice Hand Sanitizer which was only £1 and smells better than alcohol!
Being at school 5/7 days a week, I find that I'm always missing something in my schoolbag or desk (the old fashioned ones which are my equivalent of a locker... #oldschoolproblems). Therefore, I've devised a list of my top 10 locker essentials that you NEED in your desk at work or locker at school.
My friends are always surprised at how much cash I have to spare - "your parents must be loaded" // "you're so spoilt" // "how much pocket money do you get!?" are regular comments on a shopping day out. However, none of them are true - I get less pocket money than my friends (as my parents pay my phone bill, so I feel like I should contribute something) and I am not spoilt in my opinion, and my parents are not billionaires. I am just a very good saver, and have some tactics in making money (and keeping it!).
I wouldn't describe myself as a perfume expert or enthusiast - I like to smell nice day-to-day, but never spend too much on scents, but mostly ask for a perfume at Christmas or for my birthday. This year's scent gift was Calvin Klein CK One - and it might just be The One.
I have a lot of love for Soap and Glory, along with ridiculously dry hands all year round due to eczema. So give me the opportunity to try a Soap and Glory hand cream and I'll take it. Which I did. So here's a review on one of the nicest hand creams to ever grace my mitts.
Anyone really annoyed with vouchers for a 'free graze box' in magazines? Worry no more - claim your free box! I was thoroughly impressed with mine. I chose, out of the three free box options - original, kids and light - the light box within which all the snacks are under 150 calories. The box itself was delivered within a week of ordering and cost me nothing - I had to put in my card details but I cancelled the continuous boxes after this one was delivered and have not been charged anything.
The Real Techniques Cheek Brush, exclusive to the Nic's Picks set, is my current most-used, most frequently washed makeup brush, purely because I use it for EVERYTHING. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is a definite multi tasker, and can be used for a very many things.
If you know me, you know I hate flat hair. If I'm sporting a bun, it's messy; if I have a ponytail, the top part is particularly poofy; if my hair is down, by God it's backcombed. These are my favourite products to get really big hair from the high street.
Over half term I did a fair bit of shopping with friends and family, and so I thought I'd share some of my purchases with you, from clothing to stationary.
ooh we're one month closer to summer - meaning it's time for a favourites! Today is my February favourites, with not a lot of products but quite a few random favourites.
First up, a single skincare item in the Soap and Glory For Daily Youth Lotion - I love S+G skincare, and this is an old favourite that makes the best base for makeup as it really hydrates while adding a bit of glow - nothing overly noticeable, but to me, my skin loses its sallowness.
