Superdrug haul:

Yup I'm back with the Superdurg haul I mentioned in my last post. Lets dive straight in, no time like the present.


  • So I picked up a mixture of things including basic everyday things. I got the Bic twin lady shavers, they are cheap and cheerful and work really well. They are cute colours also.
  •  Plump it up dry shampoo by VO5, I need dry shampoo its a must! I also have flat fine hair so anything that gives boost is a must. I usually get the dry backcombing spray but it wasn't on offer, this was. 
  • I love the St.Ives face scrubs, so wanted to try this new olive oil face scrub, I need face scrubs.
  • I came across B,Creative face kits, on offer for £9.99 instead of £14.99. I got it for light skin tones. It includes a concealer, highlighter, face powder, foundation and a application sponge. It's fab and cant wait to give it a try, I will pop some swatches down below.  
  • I love Sleek, and have been eyeing up the new precious metals highlighting palette. At the time I could not justify £9.99, but now I have it. It has three velvet cream formulas and one powder. The finishes are platinum, royal gold, renaissance gold and antique bronze. It includes a brush. So excited I love highlighters. Again I will post a swatch picture somewhere below.
  • And last but not least dental floss lol, because its essential. 



B.creative/Art edition vol.5/pro face kit- light. Swatches below, it's hard to see: Get here .

Just a little haul:

Hey guys! Hope you all had a fab New Year, cant believe how its flying already. I'm back with a haul for you.


You cant really see this all that well but, it's a pretty £2 necklace from Primark. It's gold with little gems  running all the way across, with a little zig zag pattern underneath. It also has a blue string plaited in with the chain. I loved it and its a bargain, a must have if you like your statement necklaces, and its not over the top.


Moving on to beauty. First up from the left is a V05 smoothly does it shine spray, which is also a heat defence product. Then the tea tree facial cleansing pads from Superdrug. I've used these for years and they were on a two for one offer. Next we have the Schwarzkopf got 2 b beach matt texturizing salt spray which I haven't tried yet. This would be perfect for summer. And last but by no means least the naturally radiant brightening renewal face mask from Superdrug.  I've used another product from this range and I love it. It does state its not for sensitive skin so I would definitely not recommend it if you do, I've used this once and I got a small rash on my face. So be careful. It's a once a week treatment and was half price.

That's all for the time being, but I do have a home-ware haul coming up shortly.

Whats in my shower/shower routine:

Hey there, thought I would do something a little bit different for this post. I was intending to get this up lastnight but my laptop was playing up and wouldn't recognise my SDHC card, no idea why! But it worked tonight.



Ignore the wetness, I just literally had a shower before I took this picture, so everything's well...wet lol! I was going to do this a while ago, but got the urge to do it lastnight.

  • So first up I use the St Ives apricot scrub, this ones for blemished skin, but I much prefer the original. I have been using this for ages, and its lasted so long. I love a good face scrub, and I use this at least once a week, sometimes twice. I've been using apricot scrubs since I was a teenager specifically for my acne. 
  • Then I'll follow up with my Anew Vitale face wash by AVON, as you can see this sample size is lasting a while, and I try not to over use it, but I will use it everytime I shower. 
  • I'll shampoo with my Elvive fibrology shampoo and then apply the conditioner. Sometimes I'll use the Elvive Fibrology mask instead of the conditioner or sometimes both, I only focus that on the very ends if I need it. Whilst the conditioner is soaking in I'll put my body scrub on. The one I'm using at the moment is the planet spa one by AVON (review coming up soon).
  • I'll apply the body scrub everywhere, but focus on my legs and arms. I like to do this once a week, I also love a good body scrub.
  • Then I'll follow up with a body wash/shower gel, I have quite a few which I switch around often, right now I have been using the Katy Perry Killer Queen one that I got in my gift set.
  • Once I'm out of the shower I'll sometimes apply a body lotion, after this shower I put on the matching Katy Perry Killer Queen body lotion.
  • Moving onto hair I'll either put on my argan oil serum (which I have talked about before) on the very ends of my hair or I'll put the Phil Smith argan oil cream into the ends and work it in (I'll put this from my ears down). I'll either blow dry my hair and style it or leave it to air dry if I'm not going out. I left it to air dry last night. This was a sample I got a while ago. It smells gorgeous and leaves your hair smoother and shinier. 
  • I put all my face moisturisers on right before I go to bed. 
Hope you liked this post. I love a good nosy when it comes to whats in peoples showers, love to know what products people use etc. See you all soon with my next review,

AVON foundation review:

Hello there! Time for a long awaited review, I shall start with the AVON foundations I got a few months ago.


Extra lasting foundation- I was very disappointed in this, because of the shade. I mixed it with a lighter coloured foundation as it looked too dark for ivory. I happened to notice my faced looked a tinged orange colour, which is so not the look I was going for. If this was lighter in shade I would totally wear it, was excited as it sounded promising. You cant tell from the picture, but in person it definitely looks darker than the ideal flawless. 4/10 due to the colour, but the finish would be good otherwise.

Ideal flawless- quite impressed with this one, its pale enough which is great! great start indeed. I wouldn't say it looks 'invisible' but it does look on the more natural side. As I stated in the haul, the pump was broken, then the pump got stuck in the lid not long after, and its a mess, just a mess lol. But its not a bad foundation. I tend to go easy when applying, because if you apply too much at once it goes cakey, and I have to take my time when spreading it out as to even out the application. I'd say depending on your preference its a light-medium coverage, as too much is too much with this foundation. I applied too much during the first try and it didn't sit well on my skin- little by little. 8/10.

I have ordered two more foundations to try, I am excited to receive them. Next up I have an Elf review. See you then,
