Collective Beauty Haul
Hello!
Wow, it's being a while since I wrote a post but it feels good getting
back to it again! Over the past 6 weeks or so I've been doing my uni
work placement. I choose to go to an animal sanctuary and absolutely
loved it! However, working 9-5:30 and being pretty much non stop (apart
from tea and lunch breaks) took it out of me and I didn't really have
the time or energy to blog. I'm happy to say that I am going back to my
placement a couple of days a week as a voluntary worker, but I'll still
have loads of time to blog!
So, 10 days ago it was my 21st and I got given a far about of money. I
haven't decided what to do with the bulk of my money yet (I'm torn
between a tablet and new lens!) but I've spent a little bit of it on
beauty products I've been after and needed. It felt nice going shopping
and not having to worry if I'll still have enough money for food! Perks
of being a student, hey!?
I've been after trying some of FashionistA's products for a while and
the bronzers, blushers and merged eye shadows look so pretty! I went for
the 6 well palette and got two of each product. It cost £10 which is
absolutely amazing!
I haven't had a real shop in LUSH for ages so I thought birthday money
spending was the perfect opportunity. I got the Oatifix mask (£5.95), my
favourite bath bomb - space girl (£2.10) and the FUN bar which is
amazing (£5).
When I was going in to boot I didn't actually have these on my list but
grabbed them as soon as I saw them. They're amazing however they're
also my only RT brushes to have shed! It's only the powder brush and
about 3 hairs but I was slightly disappointed. I think this set is
around £24.
Avene is a brand I'm falling in love with. I want to start trying more
of there products so I got this toner which was around £11. The thermal
spray is a product I recommend if you have dry, sensitive skin and is
also amazing if you like a dewy look to your makeup (£7ish). I'd ran out
of eye cream so grabbed this and I'm really liking it so far (£8.99).
Lastly I got my first MAC lipstick. I was after a colour similar to my
favourite Bourjois lipstick that they no longer sell. The woman on the
counter (Trafford Selfridges) was lovely! She helped me pick the shade
based on the colour I brought with me, complemented my makeup and
applied the shade so I could see what it looked like one. The shade I
chose is On Hold and I'm hoping to go back soon to pick up Fanfare.
