Weekend Haul!

As you can tell, I did some shopping again. The stuff I got is not so interesting really, well to me it is! ;P I went to Wilkinson first and noticed my deodorant was on offer, so I got three cans of Dove Invisible Dry (250ml) for £1.50 each (RRP £3.69 each). After I went to Boots and took advantage of their Bath & Body 3 for 2 offer and got Soap & Glory Foam Call (£6.50) and Soap and Glory Clean Girls (£6) shower gels and Ted Baker Origami Body Spray (150ml) for FREE (RRP £5), and I forgot to test it instore before I bought it and I don’t like it! Lastly I went to Tesco and got a Cotton Bud Holder for £2.97 (cotton buds not included) and a Lip Smackers Lip Balm in Coca Cola for £1.25. So that was my haul. I will hopefully have more reviews soon and maybe an exciting haul, who knows? BYE! J

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

This morning I received my free samples of Maybelline’s BB Cream. As you can see, you get three sachets and all the samples come in shade Light. I have already tested it, but I didn’t think much, so I will use the remaining sachets before I make up my mind completely. I won’t do a proper review unless I like it. If I don’t like it I will post again and say why, but it won’t be a review, just an FYI! I ordered the free samples from Facebook and they currently only do them in the shade Light!

Perfume Power! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry

Swatches: Barry M Jewel Britannia Nail Paint

Jewel Britannia (npjb) - a silver glitter based nail polish effect, with red, silver & blue glitter sequin pieces (big and small) - Inspired by the Union Jack of the United Kingdom. As many coats as you need, but you would need several for an opaque colour. * I have 3 coats on in the pictures! * This nail paint was limited edition for the 2012 Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, check eBay. £2.99 – NO LONGER AVAILABLE!

NOTD #2 - Jewelled Olympians

Hello there, I am going to an Olympic themed BBQ in a bit; it’s a bit late I know! I decided to use Barry M’s Nail Paint in Jewel Britannia, for the first time. I did three coats and used a top coat. It is more of an effect kind of polish, because you would need a few coats for it to be opaque, plus it is not just glitter, it has some kind of sequins in it too. It gives a really nice effect and it looks prettier in person (sorry for the scary photo!). This shade is limited edition and was only sold online on BarryM.com and Boots.com for £2.99. It was released after the Queen’s Jubilee, but before the Olympics, so I think it is inspired by both historical events, seeing as though the colours are taken from the Union Jack and the name is similar to ‘Royal Britannia’!

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift

I received this sample in the post yesterday after requesting one online (no longer available). I heard about this perfume earlier in the year from FleurDeForce , after she bought a bottle of it whilst she was in the USA. It has only just been released in the UK, and what appealed to me was the bottle and the fact that I thought it might be a young scent as it’s by Taylor Swift. Instead of buying it and hoping for the best I was happy to find a way to get a free sample of it. ❤  Click  here  for a review of this perfume  ❤ Let me know in the comments section if you have it and what you think of it!
