January Favourites

Well can you believe that it is February already! I can officially now say that my due date is next month, that is both exciting and scary all in the same breath! I thought I would share with you a couple of things I have been loving during the month of January!

First of all is this Easy Tease brush. It's definitely a dupe for the Tangle Teaser, which I have never used so can't compare them but what I can say is how amazing this brush is! It literally glides through my tangles and doesn't hurt at all no matter how tatty my hair gets. I have reasonably long hair, and because it is bleached it gets tangled and knotted very easily, especially when it is wet but this brushes through them so easily I don't think I will ever go back to using a regular brush! I got this for Christmas but I have seen them in Home Bargains and I think, but don't quote me on this, that they are a round about £3 so definitely affordable and definitely worth the price, in my opinion!

Next I have been loving the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation. I have been using this foundation for quite a while now and I have gone off and used other foundations but nothing has compared to this! It really gives my skin the flawless finish that I want. It's really hydrating on the skin which is what I find difficult with foundations, I always find that foundations cling to my dry patches but this never does. Also, it is the perfect colour for my skin tone, which is another thing I find difficult with foundations!

I've also definitely been loving the Garnier Intensive 7 Days moisturiser. I think I've raved about this a couple of times on my blog but this winter this has just been my life saver! It really does help keep my skin hydrated, especially on my bump which has started to become dry and irritated due to the stretching. This moisturiser also smells gorgeous, so that's always a plus!

Finally, I have been loving the Next Gold perfume this month. I used this a couple of years ago and absolutely fell in love with the smell but then I could never find it again in Next so I thought they had stopped doing it. But a couple of months ago I was in Next and smelling all their perfumes when I realised they had just changed the bottle! Which is why I could never find it because I was always looking for the bottle that I had originally, I'm so dumb! So I asked Mark to buy me this for Christmas, which he kindly did and I absolutely love it!

So that's all for my January favourites! Make sure you let me know in the comments what you have been loving in January :)

Cheeky Little Purchase

So I definitely needed some new foundation as I used the last of my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation and all the other foundations I have seem to be too orange for my face. I have read a lot about the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. I had read that it is really moisturising for dry skin, and that's definitely what I need. I used it this morning and so far I am extremely impressed with it. I know you can't really get a good idea about something from just one use but I just found that it made my skin look really fresh and hydrated and it stayed on really nicely all day. Also, I find it difficult to find a foundation that is the right colour for my skin and this one seems to be the perfect shade for me. Even my husband mentioned this morning that my makeup looks really natural today 'well done' he said, haha! So all in all first impressions of this foundation are good!

In Boots at the minute they have 2 for £14 across all Bourjois cosmetics so really why wouldn't I get something else when the foundation was £9.99 on its own so I'd only be paying an extra £4.01 for something worth far more! I really didn't need this bronzer as my Dior one does the job just nicely, however its shaped like a bar of chocolate, it smells like chocolate and to be quite honest I couldn't resist. I have read mixed reviews on this product and I have only used it once. I liked the way it went on but I think I need a little longer to judge how I get on with it, so I shall be sure to let you all know!

So that's it for my cheeky little relevant/none relevant purchase, let me know what you all have been buying :)

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Haul

Hello my gorgeous people! I've done it again, I've had a little bit of a naughty spend. I am really trying hard to look after my money lately, but sometimes I just can't help myself. I've always been bad with money and if I want something I just go ahead and get it, not thinking of the consequences. I know, I'm terrible! 

I don't feel TOO bad about these purchases because two of them I have had my eye on for ages and that's the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Peach Club. I got this from Boots for £8.99. I've wanted one of these for a while because I've really been on the hunt for a lipstick that will stay put all day and this really does that, even after eating which is great. I also bought the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Sugar Apple from Superdrug for £3.99. I LOVE this colour, its so bright and summery and let's be honest we are not getting much of a summer at the minute, so I've decided to let my nails be the summer!

Next, I went to The Body Shop. When I say to my husband 'ooo let's go into The Body Shop' I always get the same eye-roll 'you're not spending loads' line! But it never ever stops me. I went in originally to have a look for the Blueberry body butter but I ended up buying the Olive one instead because I much preferred it. I mean let's be honest, I probably have enough body butter in my bathroom to last me the rest of my life but this was £5! They're usually £13 so I was super duper excited that they were reduced, I almost bought two but I was a very good beauty blogger and only bought the one. Yep, I deserve some sort of medal for that! I also bought from The Body Shop this Colour Crush eyeshadow in Melt My Heart. I really love the eyehshadows from The Body Shop, and this goldy brown colour is definitely one I would wear every day so well worth the £7 it cost.

So that's my naughty little haul for the week, no doubt there will be another next week. 

I HAVE NO RESTRAINT!
