Haul!!!

Today I went shopping an thought I would show you some stuff I bought!

Okay, so I kinda went a bit mad and bought A LOT of stuff. But my excuse is that I havent been shopping in agees!! :)
 I made an order from Coco Beau and bought two samples of the 'Ultra Foundation' in 'Porcelain' and 'Ivory' they were only £1.50 each so I just went for it. Along with my beautifully wrapped parcel which was really cute they had slipped in a sample of the Lait-Creme Concentre which I had been meaning to try but chickened out at the checkout.
I had a free makeup from Benefit cosmetics which was okay, but I always come out feeling as if my make up is verging on Dame Edna's levels. Anyway, with the make over there was the promise of a free Eyeshadow or Lipstick. They had a really small variety of colours for lipstick so I decided to get a Cream Eyeshadow in  'Honey Bunny'. It is a really pretty shimmery neutral which is great for days where I don't want to wear too much makeup. I think this retails for £13 but I'm not sure because I got mine free :)



I decided that I wanted to spend my Boots Advantage Card points as I had collected quite alot over the years. I had just heard about the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation and I had recieved a sample in 'Glamour' magazine and I LOVED it!! Probably the most flawless yet natural foundation I have ever used. I got the colour Beige Pastel (B10) which seemed a good match. This costs £32 for 30ml and I purchase mine at Boots.
 Skincare! I'm a skin care addict and get really excited about new finds...is that sad?? :) I had £5 off at No7 voucher so I decided to get the No7 Soft and Soothed Toner which was originally £8 but with the voucher was only £3 for a huge bottle so I thought that it was a great deal! I also got the Neutrogena Mutli-Defence Moisturiser with SPF 15. I got the normal/combination one as I have a Normal skin type and it cost around about £5 because it had a reduction of £2 i think (so was originally about £7 at Boots)
 I also got the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Blow Dry Lotion. This was very intriguing for me, fine haired gal, as I am always on the search for more volume in my hair. This was fairly inexpensve at about £5 so I thought that I would give it a go.
 I forgot to take pictures of these products and my camera ran out of battery but I'll tell you about two more products anyway.
I ordered the Clinique Brush- on Liner in Black which  I love and prefer it to Blacktrack by MAC as it has a richer colour pay off.
Also, I got the Soap and Glory 'Bright Here Bright Now Instant Radiance Energy Balm' (blimey that's a mouthful!) which is basically a moisturiser which gives a very natural, non-shimmery glow.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and there will be reviews coming on some of these products!

Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hello! I picked up these massive bottles of Pantene Ice Shine shampoo and conditioner and thought I should do a review for you.


This was my first time using these products and I have to admit that it was also my first time to use Pantene. But I had heard that they make some of the best low- end products on the market. Upon using them, the first thing I noticed was how amazing they smelt! A really clean, fresh smell which stayed in my hair even when my hair had dried. I usually go for hair products that promise added volume and thickening but I was curious about the idea of 'shiney' hair. As my hair has some natural highlights in them (I have never died my hair) I already do have a glossy appearence to my hair but I was intrigued by the idea of enhancing and 'transforming tired, dull hair'. Although I did notice that my hair felt light and smooth, I didn't notice much of an improvement to the shininess of my hair. However, I found that my hair didn't get as greasy as it usually does on the 2nd day after washing (I wash my hair every other day).

To conclude, I would really recommend this if you have dry hair as it adds moisture but not enough to make your hair greasy. But for me this just didn't add enough volume so I will continue my search for the perfect shampoo and conditioner combo :) Thanks for reading!
