Essie Winter 2016 Collection

I was browsing Boots.com for gift ideas and I came across an Essie offer. You got four of their full size (13.5ml) winter 2016 polishes for £17.50. I didn’t get to choose which shades myself but the ones they were offering looked beautiful and are probably the shades I would have chosen anyway. There are six shades in the collection overall; Getting Groovy, Go With the Flowy, Satin Sister, Oh Behave!, Party On A Platform and Ready to Boa. I four I received are:- Getting Groovy - metallic gold palladium Party On A Platform - London garnet red Oh Behave! - minx peach frost Ready to Boa - glistening bronzed mahogany The shades are absolutely gorgeous and my favourites are Getting Groovy and Oh Behave!. They are all perfect picks for Christmas and sadly the offer is no longer available, however you can still purchase the individual shades. ♥ ♥ ♥

Blogmas #15 | Haul: Bath & Body

I recently went shopping and just had to take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer in Boots and I really wanted to get a Soap & Glory gift set I had seen the day before, but didn’t get at the time. From Boots I got the Soap & Glory Loved & Glossed Gift Set , which contains three shades of their Sexy Mother Pucker™ Gloss Sticks. Also from Soap & Glory I got their Scrub ‘Em And Leave ‘Em™ Body Buff and Sugar Crush™ Body Wash . Lastly from Soap & Glory and not included in the 3 for 2 offer, I got the Smooch Operator™ Lip Butter Balm . I then went to Morrisons to do some shopping and I picked up a new face scrub, Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub and Colgate Max White One Active Toothpaste . Lastly, the other day when I did some online Christmas shopping on AllBeauty.com I bought a nail polish, Essie Antique Rose . I am trying not to buy too much before Christmas, but the majority of the stuff I bought was necessities I had run out of and wanted to...

Haul: Small Unmentioned Purchases

For today’s post I am going to share with you a few products that I have recently purchased and have not mentioned. I actually purchased one of the products last year but I thought I would include it anyway because I have not mentioned it before. The product I bought last year was from Asda and it is the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream/Gel Eyeshadow in Pink Gold . I bought it for £4.99 and I got it because I thought it was limited edition but as it turned out it is actually permanent. It is a gorgeous colour! Now for the products I have bought recently this year. The Urban Decay Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette  for £35 from BeautyBay.com. I have used this palette a few times and I really like it. From Superdrug I picked up a Maybelline theROCKET Volum’Express Mascara  in the shade Black because I was interested in trying it and I got it for £5.99 because it had a £2 off offer. From Home Bargains I picked up another can of the TRESemmé Extra Hold...

Haul: A Trio of Treats

I made another nail polish order at CheapSmells.com and it arrived this morning. I made the order because they had an offer on Essie nail polishes; they were all £3.25 each, an ABSOLUTE STEAL! So I just had to buy them. I bought Size Matters (hot ruby red), Bachelorette Bash (creamy, juicy fuchsia) and Aruba Blue (frosty sapphire blue). I also wanted Bahama Mama, but they had sold out of that one! Plus I don’t think I really need that one, because I’ve already got something similar, but I keep hearing about it on YouTube and I love the name. Until the next post!

Nail Polish Haul #2

I have another nail polish haul, and it definitely won’t be my last because, I LOVE Essie nail polishes! ! ! ! From CheapSmells.com I bought an Essie Nail Polish in Watermelon for £4.95. I was going to buy it for full price soon, but when I was browsing CheapSmells I saw an advertisement for discounted Essie polishes. It said the discount was for one day only, so I knew I had to buy it then. But the price the website will be selling them at is £6.95 so I only got £2 off mine. Both prices are still great compared to the RRP of £9.95 each. Shipping was free for a weekend on Superdrug.com so I bought a Barry M Nail Paint in Magenta Glitter for £2.99, I FINALLY got it! Lastly from there I bought a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey for £5.99 (£2 off offer). This morning my order from BeautyBay.com arrived and it was only one item and I really wanted it, even though I had to pay near full price. It is the Essie Nail Polish in Braziliant, I have a mini in this, bu...

Look Fantastic Haul #1

Hello, I am going to share with you some nail polishes I bought from LookFantastic.com. I received them yesterday and they are my new obsession, ESSIE. I mainly look for the mini four piece polish collections from Essie, because they are not very expensive and they are small, which is good for me because I tend to love colours when I buy them and then go off them when I buy another, this way I have more chance of using one up and trying many different shades. I got the Summer 2011 Collection for £11.85, which consists of four shades called, Braziliant, Smooth Sailing, Super Bossa Nova and Meet Me At Sunset. I know this collection is quite old, but the colours appealed to me, plus other collections from last year had really light colours and I am more into pastel bright colours. My favourite colour from this collection is Braziliant. I also bought a full size of Olé Caliente for £5.95, which is quite inexpensive for an Essie polish in the UK. I actually got this shade in ano...

Serial Shopper! - Haul :)

HELLO AGAIN, I am going to haul a lot of products which I have purchased recently or a while ago.
