A Little Saturday Beauty Haul

I've been on a slight spending ban this past month. No beauty products have been bought whatsoever! Well almost none... I did have the odd moment of weakness, but for the most part I did pretty well so I decided today was the day to treat myself!

The man in my life and I had a leisurely mooch around the high street whilst Milan was at his nans, it was so nice to just shop and have lunch without rushing or dealing with constant toddler drama (I love my son to bits but it's bloody hard to get through a shopping trip without stress when he's there!) So we made the most of it, had some yummy tapas at a great little Spanish bar we found, then hit the shops. I had a few bits on my (ridiculously big) wishlist that I wanted to pick up and I ended up making a couple of impulse purchases too. I'm a beauty junkie! Impulse purchases go with the territory ; )

I headed to Lush and picked up Cosmetic Warrior which is a face mask for fighting spots and Tea Tree Water, a toner spray that I've been wanting for quite a while after seeing lots of reviews in the blogosphere. Lately I've been having a few break outs and I've got no idea why. Sure, I get the odd blemish now and again, but during the past few weeks its just been one breakout after another. So I thought I'd give Cosmetic Warrior a go, I'll use it a couple of times a week and see if it helps. The Tea Tree Water is just a lovely, natural toner water that I've been wanting to try after cleansing at night as I'm hoping the tea tree will help to clear my skin.

Superdrug was my next stop where I picked up the infamous Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser. It's a huge tube for £4.99 and it's another product I've been meaning to try for ages. I was then drawn to the Andrea Fullerton stand, I've seen and heard alot of great things about her range and although a little pricey I decided to buy the black dot and flick tool and a little pack of gold studs, which I love! I can't wait to create a nail look with these, studs are everywhere at the moment and I think these are a really fun way to 'trend up' your nails : )

I had to stop off at Matalan to pick up some Mickey Mouse bits for Milan, he's going through a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse phase at the moment so I bought him a cute Mickey dressing gown, some pyjamas and some matching slippers. I know alot of people turn their noses up at Matalan, but you can find some really great pieces in there. I often see dupes of River Island and Topshop items for half the price so I like to have a nose in there now and again. I saw this set of rings for £4 and couldn't resist.

So they were my buys on this chilly Autumn Saturday! We couldn't resist going to Thorntons for a white hot chocolate with all the trimmings... much needed now this cold weather has landed.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend and buying lots of gorgeous beauty products : )

NOTD: Glitter Crazy!

I love a nice bit of sparkle! What girl doesn't? Whilst perusing the Barry M section in my local Superdrug, I came across this gorgeous multicolour glitter polish... Needless to say I had to snap it up! With flecks of purple, pink, gold, blue, black and silver, I definitely don't have another shade like it.

Perfect for the upcoming party season or just for a general fun look!

Jinkksy Summer Treats & Fondant Blazers

I've not done a Friday Faves post in a while but today it's making a comeback!
In Cornwall the weather has been shocking as per... It's quite frustrating when you wake up, see the glorious sunshine streaming through the window, drag out your sandals and toss aside your jackets only to be greeted the next day by rain, wind, cold temperatures and general depression :( This said, I've still been feeling summery! I'm optimistic (or in denial) that we WILL have an amazing summer weather wise. So my favourites this week are slightly summer themed.

Jinkksy Summer Stackers

I've been following Jinkksy on twitter for some time now (a company owned by the lovely Debbie Georgiou) and she is literally taking over the world with her glamourous array of bling bracelets and sparkly anklets. Loved by celebrities and us mere mortals, there's something for everyone. Jinkksy have just launched a range of summer stackers and as soon as I saw them I fell in love! (I'm a sucker for anything pretty and chic), I have officially added it to my wish list but the only problem is I can't decide which colour is my favourite! I'm leaning towards the mint. Or bubblegum. Ok, sherbet mix... Arghh it's too hard to choose!

YSL Touché Éclat Foundation

I'm sure everyone's heard of the miracle product that is the Touché Éclat highlighter. It's earnt its status as a cult classic in the cosmetic world over the years (apparently they sell one every 10 seconds!) and is a staple in most women's make up bags. Well the geniuses behind the instant eye brightener are now launching a foundation. I'd love to try this product simply because of the rep YSL have for the highlighter, I have very high expectations for this one! Le Teint Touché Éclat will be available nationwide from July 9 in 22 shades (love this!)

Fondant & Neon Blazers

Fondant is a big trend this summer (think fondant fancies and other sugary treats) and I absolutely adore it. The girly pastel shades are totally my thing and I'll be buying into it for sure :)
Im a lover of blazers and have been for some time... I like how throwing on a well-tailored blazer can add instant sophistication to an outfit and you can pick one up for £20 and yet look like you spent £100. You can wear them with jeans and a baggy vest, or over a cocktail dress to add another dimension to your outfit. So a blazer in a sugary sweet colour is my idea of perfect... I also love the neon yellows, pinks and oranges around at the moment.

This lapel-less blazer from Zara is just gorgeous, I love the zip detail.

Topshop

Miss Selfridge

Bourjois 1 second nail polish remover

I know there's quite a few reviews about this product in the beauty blogging world, so I didn't want to over do it and dedicate a whole post to it, but it definitely deserves a mention! It's a great product for those of us that can't be bothered to spend ages scrubbing away at our nails with regular polish remover... You literally have to dip your finger in the little pot, wait a couple of seconds and viola! Polish free nails :) I love this product simply for its time saving aspect and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. I change my nail polish colour a lot so it's a must-have for me and at £3.99 from Boots or Superdrug you can't go wrong.
