YaY, I Won!

I was lucky enough to win, the lovely Charlotte's (Carlottas Beauty Spot) blog giveaway.
Her blog is full of great posts and product reviews. I love the photography on her blog, her pictures are also so well lit and clear! I highly recommend checking it it out here.
So i bet you're all dying to see what i won, I'm SO excited about it....



So, my prize included; Maybelline Illegal Length Fibre Extension Mascara. This mascara claims to give an instant lash extension effect with no flakes. I cant wait to try it! and one of my best friends has come down on holiday today, so I'm sure it'll get plenty of use this week!

I also got, not one but TWO Revlon lip butters, you may know from previous posts i am in love with Revlon lip butters, they're fast becoming my go to lip product, and if i remember rightly from the competition post these colours aren't available in the UK? (please correct me if I'm wrong) the shades i got are, 001 Pink Truffle & 085 Sugar Plum. I love the colours, and i think these products will also get a lot of use this week!

My final part of the prize was something I've had my eye on since it came out. Sleek, I-Divine Ultra Mattes Palette, there is two versions of this palette a darks and a brights. I got the darks, which I'm really pleased with as i think the colours in this palette are a lot more wearable than those in the brights. I love sleek palettes, and I'm beginning to get a little collection. The colours are so pigmented and they blend like a dream. They are velvety smooth, I also love the packaging, its really 'sleek' and reminds of the MAC 'build your own' palettes.

Charlotte was also kind enough to slip in a little card congratulating me on my win, which i think was a lovely gesture, as it makes the win a lot more personal and shows she had really put a lot of effort in to the prize.
I couldn't be happier with my prize, products I love, products I've been lusting after and a new product to try. I cant wait.
I'll try and do a FOTD or at least review the mascara etc.

A massive THANK YOU to Charlotte for such a generous prize! And make sure you head over to her blog (link at the top) and say hi!

Have you won any blog giveaways recently?

Lots of Love

Tk Maxx & Boots Haul

After my hair cut me and my mum had a little look around the shops.
Tk Maxx has been on top form lately, especially with their beauty offerings! Packs of Stila make up, Bella pierré and Nails Inc Galore!
Here are a few goodies i picked up...


I literally wanted everything in TK Maxx, but managed to keep to these few things.
A ped egg, my mum has one of these and literally raves about it, but i just didn't want to spend £10 on one from boots, so was chuffed when they had one in TK Maxx for £5.99 and in green, my favourite colour!
And the cute little cake cases, with a vintage paisley design were just £1.99 for 60!!
I also got a set of Colour Club Glitter Polishes, £7.99 for 6 glitters and a clear top coat. I haven't been able to swatch them yet as I've already got my nails painted, but they look gorgeous. I cant wait to try them out!


Was a little pack of Stila make up, for £7.99 it contained 3 items, but one of them I'm using in a surprise swap so didn't photograph. The 2 items I'm keeping though are the Lip Colour in 06 Fiona & The Lip Pot Tinted Lip Balm in Baie.




This lip stick has a bit of a funny smell to it, but i love the colour! The tinted lip balm, is really subtle but still noticeable and again i love the colour Its also quite moisturising. I also really like the packaging its so simple, but really pretty.

The rest of my goodies...


I've been looking everywhere for Models Own polish in Indian Ocean, and i finally found a boots that had them in stock! Models own was buy 2 products and get a free nail art pen so i also got Models Own in Hedonist, which is a bright fluorescent coral colour, perfect toe nail colour for summer! and chose the black nail art pen free (should have been £6.00) I got the new Bourjois nail polish remover as I've seen some many great reviews on it, and it really is speedy! And the lovely headband to go with my new hair, again a orangey corally colour, pretty floral very summery. My last purchase was my first ever Revlon Lip Butter, they've had so much hype around them, i tested them in boots a while back when they first came out and i wasnt amazingly impressed. But i picked up Tutti Frutti and I'm so pleased with the colour, again and orange/coral colour (can you see a pattern?) It hasn't got big chunks of glitter in like some of the colours have, i think that's what i like about it.

Revlon Lip Butter; Tutti Frutti

As I'd had a new hair cut and I've been feeling a little down lately, my mum treated me to a nice new hair dryer.


We had no idea what to look for in a hair dyer, so eventually we decided on this one, i think it was about £30.00 but it came with all the things picture on the box so it seemed like a good deal.


The dryer itself is really lightweight and fairly compact, so it'll be good for travelling. I've never really owned a hair dryer before (like i said in my previous post, i neglect my hair) so I'm a bit excited haha.

So that's all my shopping goodies. I'm very very pleased with everything, and already wanting to go back to TK Maxx to see what new things they have!
I Will Leave you with one last photo....

New Hair, New Lipstick, New Me!

Lots of Love
