A LITTLE LAST MINUTE

I haven't done a haul in a while as recently I've been popping into Boots for a one thing or another and not coming out with a mass amount of products thinking what have I done yet again!? This might not be a full blown haul but it certainly is a little one - I only popped in for brow products...

I have to hold my hands up and admit I got sucked into the sale again, guilty! If you've read recent posts you'll know I've been loving the Botanics All Bright Serum, that you can find here. Yes, I picked up another but that was only because it's currently on sale from £6.99 to £3.49 - I think we can all agree that's a complete bargain! It's so rich but feels lightweight on the skin and I've noticed differences in my appearance already.

A favourite of mine is the Maybelline Eraser Concealer, a life saver when I tend to wake up with dark circles under my eyes. I already have it in light and use that to highlight underneath my foundation but I needed a darker shade to conceal and maybe contour with so I picked up another in the shade Nude. Find the Eraser Eye Concealer HERE, Happy Shopping!

Considering my hair has become a lighter brown shade I needed to lighten my brows so they'd match. I chose two firm brow favourites; Rimmel Eyebrow pencil in Hazel and Maybelline Brow Drama in Medium Brown. Now I've started to use lighter shades I'm looking a little more human again.

Seventeen Brow Kit is a fairly new product and is similar to the Bobbi Brown Brow Kit, although I'd feel a little sad inside forking out £30 for a brow product so I decided to give Seventeen a go. It comes with a wax, powder and highlighter as well as a mini pencil and mini brush all in a lovely little compact along with a mirror. This would be great for travelling, I can't wait to give it a try. 

Then there's OGX Nourishing Coconut Oil Mist which hydrates hair and keeps it soft and supple and smelling of holiday's. I used to this morning before I blow dried my hair, it smells very exotic and appealing, it actually helped my hair dry quicker and left it very soft and sweet smelling. I'm sucker for anything Coconut scented! 

BOTANICS ALL BRIGHT SERUM

If you read my recent post about What's New in: The Skincare Shelf you will have seen that I decided to try out the Botanics All Bright Radiance Concentrate Serum. This product is meant to brighten your skin in as little as two weeks, giving you a 'radiant, healthy glow.' 

I've only been using this for around a week but I've already seen noticed changes in my skin! Everything is more even and brighter in tone and overall I look alot healthier, it's like I've had my 8 hours sleep and all my veggies in this tiny little bottle. I got this serum in the Boots sale for half price at £3.50, which is spare change in my purse! Unfortunately, I can't find this online but it is available in Boots stores.

This is a very thick, hydrating serum that feels very light and luxurious on the skin, I tend to only need one drop for my whole face and neck as this is quite rich. I blend this in with my fingertips and wait for everything to sink in, that doesn't take long because my skin literally drinks this stuff day and night. This isn't greasy or sticky, it doesn't have a sickly scent and it hasn't made me break out. It plumps, firms and soothes as well as adding a lovely dewy, glow making me look much more awake. My skin has become softer and brighter since I've added this into my regime, I'm excited to see the results after two weeks!

CLINIQUE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT LOTION

I've recently done a little switch-up and plenty of beauty products have either been given away or thrown because in all seriousness I needed a good clear out to happen sooner, rather than later. I came across Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion and I'm embarrassed to say I received this in Glamour Magazine a few issues ago. 

It's a tiny 5ml sample that's perfect for travelling, and with it being Clinique the packaging isn't too shabby either - insert happy emoji. My mind was set that this was more for normal to dry skin, which in all fairness it is, but with my skin being more on the drier side I thought this certainly wouldn't work for me let alone make a dramatic difference, pun intended...

This being a lotion I expected it to be quite thin and watery in consistency but actually it's fairly thick for a lotion. It's very lightweight, feels like you're applying nothing to your skin but there is something there because it feels so rich and hydrating. This lotion doesn't apply or leave your skin an off yellow colour, something I was worried about! This sinked in almost immediately after I applied this with my fingers, my skin felt very soft and plump - silky to the touch so of course I was very happy about that. Clinique have certainly created a beautiful product right here, I may have to invest in a bigger size, bank card at the ready!
