Some places to find some high street make up for £1

Hey Guys, 

As you should all be aware I love to get the most for my pounds. Lately I have been scouring the high street bargain shops, to check out what sort of beauty finds are out there. 

As I work in discount Uk, I have seen the likes of Revlon nail polish, rimmel nail polish and O.P.I nail crackle effects go for around a £1. Bargain, right. 

This has obviously spurred on this post. I have been to a few other bargain buys stores to see what I could find. Luckily I think my shop has the best bits in at the minute and since we get our delivery on a Wednesday, I can always have a wee look to see which brand of polish it is for the week. In the few weeks I've worked there I have seen Sally Hansen both the Instadry and the suger coat versions, Rimmel lasting finish Pro and Revlon scented and colourstay versions. There has also been a small selection of Wet n Wild products that have came in, mainly a mineral powder and some spoiled named nail polish. 

I have also spotted a large selection of eyelashes, both high street branded and some random brands I have never heard of. I have picked up some Katy Perry ones by Eyelure at my work. 

There is also a large selection of haircare, skincare and bodycare items available, from big named brands such as Naked (sold at boots), nivea, Garnier, clean and clear, the list is endless. 

I would say next time, you go past one of the well known discount stores, go in and have a look at the beauty aisle, you may just be surprised at what you may find. I will try do a weekly or bi-weekly post on the new beauty bits I find in discount Uk ( the name might be changing.)

Ps guys will be doing a haul in the next few days of the bits I have picked up from my work. 

Love Me Beauty Box

Hey guys,

Today I got a little surprise, as I forgot I ordered the Love Me Beauty Box. But this box is packed to the brim of gorgeous treats. I got the Valentines Day edition, so it was February's box, which is completely fine for me. I'm sure they have quite recently rebranded the box and I can't remember what it was before ( I'm sure I got one). But they still have the same concept. When you subscribe, you get an email telling you when the box showroom is available and you pick which products you want. They have put together 3 slightly different boxes and you get to pick which one you would like to be sent, there is also a mystery box, if you would prefer the unknown. There is also an opt out if you don't want to try the boxes available and you can wait till the next month. This is more my kind of box, as I like to know if I will get value for money, as you see the products and you will know if you want to try them or not. The box costs £10 and £2.95 P&P so £12.95 all together. Subscribe to Love me beauty

Lets get on with what I got in this edition of the box. At the end I will review it as whole. 

Percy & Reed No Fuss Flawless Dry Conditioner (Full size 150ml for £12)
 I'm not sure if this is going to be like dry shampoo, but I am excited to try this. The card that comes with the box says its to give shine and softness to hair, even the most driest of hair. 





La Claree Smooth Day Care (£28 for 50ml)
This is a sample of 7ml of face cream, that has collagen boosting stuff in it, to prevent the signs of aging.

Bakewell Soap Company Multi Purpose Pocket Balm (full size £3.95 for 25ml)
This is a balm that will moisturise nails, lips hands and any other dry patches you have on your body. I got the 'May Chang' one that will help repair and tone dry and damage skin. 

Inner Me Beauty Me Vitamen Complex ( £15)
These are supplements for skin, hair and nails. I'm looking forward to testing these out. 

This month we got a mystery gift as it is Valentines Day box. This is a product that has been hailed a hero product by Love Me Beauty Subscribers. 
I got a Headline colours nail polish in the shade Sandstorm, which is a lovely neutral shade. These cost £9 for 10ml. I have previously gotten some of these in Glossybox and Birchbox. 

This box cost a mere £12.95 and it is worth £39.95 not including the sample size of the day care cream. This excites me a lot as it worth the money and I don't feel I have been short changed. The conditioner and supplements are the main reason I got this particular box, but I love the box with everything else included. I will be keeping my subscription going and I can not wait to get this months box. 

If you want any specific reviews on any of the products let me know in the comments and I will be sure to do that for you :)

Primark Beauty Bits Blog Haul.

Hey there guys and dolls,

I'm just in from a recent trip into Edinburgh City centre, I only really went into town to kill a day in the half term. As I have my 5 year old nephew, I thought, we would head into town to kill some time.

I ended up spoiling him, with food and I also got him a game for the playstation. I also went into Primark to browse, as you do. 

I came across the beauty bit in Primark and thought I would pick a few things up and share what I got with you guys.

I firstly picked up some of the new make up wipes, I picked up the P.S range Oil balancing facial cleansing wipes, which were pack of 2 for £1. Also so from the new P.S range I picked up a eyebrow pencil in Light for £1 and a bright pink lipstick, also £1. 

At the till I somehow decided I needed a 300 pack of no snag elastics, which were a £1. I also picked up a 4in 1 foot file ( it has 2 pumice stones, a foot file and a skin grate.) this was also only £1. Then last but no means least I pick up a little lip balm thing for my nephew as he has dry chapped lips. It is a Chupa Chups lip balm in apple flavour, which cost £1.50. 

Hope you like my little haul, I should hopefully have some reviews up soon. 

Bye lovelies :)

5 January Favourites

Hey Guys and Dolls,

This is just a quick post on some of the products I have been loving this month. 

Soap and Glory Eyeliners

I managed to pick up a set of the eyeliner sets that boots where doing for Christmas. 

The set has a black, brown, purple, green and blue liners (there will be a post up soon about them :)) These are the most creamy eyeliners I have EVER tested that are on the high street. I know in the permanent line you can get the black and brown liners.

Concrete Minerals eyeshadow in X's and O's

This was a gift I got for Christmas off of my friend Lauren and I absolutely love this colour. Its a magenta purple with silver sparkle, that looks amazing against my blue eyes. 

Maybelline The Volum' Express Colossal Smokey Mascara

I love this mascara. It gives me prefect lashes every time. Since the last mascara that I loved was £18 i decided to give this one a go, since I got it in my December Glossybox. It was really good and I'm highly impressed with it. 

Sleek Matte Me in Fandango Purple
I love wearing matte lips everyday and this is just the most perfect fuchsia purple to wear with a thin black eyeliner look. I do have an in depth post coming soon on them. 

Real Techniques Expert face brush
I bought this in a blog sale, as I was dubious on how good these actually were. I have bought a few cheaper alternatives before I seen it on the blog sale for £5. So I snapped it up and I'm definitely in love with it.


What have you dolls been loving this month?
