Ok, so I've been a bit addicted to the body shop at the moment. I know that apart from my halloween post the last thing I posted was body shop stuff but I just can't get enough. I only to be honest bought as much as I have as Glamour magazine were giving away money of vouchers in the current december issue. I naturally bought four magazines as they were also giving away four different nails inc. polishes that I just had to have as they are I think limited edition kate spade colours, I had to hunt around for all the colours so didn't get all the magazines at once and so used the vouchers as I bought each colour one at a time lol (I will do a separate post on these at some point but photographing is difficult for me at the moment as the auto focus on my dslr is broken). I got 3 £3 vouchers and a £15 pound voucher so naturally I had to get a few things.

Glamour magazine (sorry about the focus lol)

Cranberry joy body butter, I got this and ginger sparkle body butter on a 2 for £16 pound offer so they were £8 each a bit prices but they both smelled lovely and they have put me in a rather christmasy mood and are just what my skin needs as it is getting colder. I much prefer these scents to the sweet lemon body butter and they are also a nicer creamier texture as the lemon is a bit waxy.

Ginger sparkle body butter with the cute ginger bread man on the pot. I prefer the smell of the cranberry but this is  lot more christmassy in smell which I love. 

I also got a couple more perfumes. I got white musk libertine eau de parfum which was £13 but I used a £3 voucher so only paid £10 I like the smell but I think I may be allergic to it as It made my wrist very itchy after I had put it on, I'll have to see how it goes but my mum may be getting an extra christmas present :P. 

I also picked up the amazonian wild lily perfume oil which I mentioned in my previous post that I had been wanting this one. The scent is very strong and either doesn't last long or I get used to the smell and stop noticing it. Yet it does definitely smell like lilies. 

I also got the Japanese cherry blossom perfume oil, this is less strong and a lot more delicate smelling. (sorry if my descriptions don't help I just know that I like the smell not how to describe it :P) I bought both the perfume oils (£7 each) and lip balm (£2) using my £15 voucher and had to pay a £1 as well. 

The lip balm I got in passion berry and replaces an old one of these that I found packing for uni that I was scared to start using again as it was probably about 7 years old yuck. 

The last perfume I got was the Moringa eau de toilette which I think is a new scent I got this one yesterday using my last £3 voucher and had to pay £5.50 as it cost £8.50. This I've worn all day and am absolutely in love with and thing I'll ask for the body butter in this scent for christmas as I love this so much.  

I also used another of my £3 vouchers to get this plum lip balm which I'm loving as it does add a bit of colour and shine to my lips and I like to use this on low maintenance make-up days when I've stayed a bit to long in bed in the morning, this has been living in my bag. 

Hope you guys enjoy, I will hopefully have a couple more hauls and reviews up over the next week but I'm coming close to a uni deadline so might have to wait till I'm on christmas holidays.

What do you guys think of my new layout? Please leave me a comment :D

Hey guys,

Another haul post today and a sort of review. I was walking past the body shop on my way home a couple days ago and saw they had a 50% off sale on body butters. I used to love the body shop as a kid and used to shop there regularly but haven't bought anything from them in a couple years. I used to love the mango body butter but when I went in and smelt it again it didn't smell as good. I ended up getting the sweet lemon body butter as I love a lemony scent. I also got the sweet lemon lip butter.

I have used these both a couple times now and really like them. I would definitely not have picked them up at full price but as the body butter was down to £5 and the lip butter to £2 I couldn't resist. Some people find the body butters very thick but I think they are perfect for the winter when my skin needs a bit of TLS. I am a massive fan of the simple packaging and love how the two packagings match. The lip butter looking like a miniature of the body butter, which is so cute and easily fits in my bag.

I then remembered that I hadn't shown you guys the products I got from body shop before I left for uni. I picked up the Indian Night Jasmine perfume oil (£7) which I love although haven't worn that much. I do like the perfume oils but when in a rush to go out I prefer a spritz perfume over a rub on one as it is quicker. I was very tempted to also get the I think its called wild amazonian lily but they only had a tester :(. I went to pay for the perfume and got talked into buying the dragon fruit lip butter for £1 which I am so glad I got as it smells incredible.

Ultimately my favourite product is the dragon fruit lip butter as I wear it most days and keep it in my bag. I am not sure on the lemon scent nor that I have bought it but it may grow on me lol.

Hope you enjoyed
Lauren

Hey guys,

I've bought more makeup :/. I didn't plan on it but I was suckered into buying some Makeover Essentials products in Whsmiths (Don't ask me why they were selling them in there I have no idea). My friend went in to buy stamps and I walked away with makeup after the rep talked me into it.

The booklet that came with the products.

This is the product that was actually being sold for £35 it is a pigment brush bronzer. I paid £35 for all of this as when you bought this you got the rest free so you got £172 worth for just £35. 

These are the brushes that I got which is the whole reason I bought the makeup as I was major lusting after these.  

Lipstick part of the pull out compact containing 4 lip colours. 

The whole pull out compact with eyeshadow lips and highlighter. This would be great for travelling as it folds up really small. 

Makeup pallet containing blusher eyeshadow and more lip stuff. 

Lovely matte and shimmer colours. 

For £35 I think what I got was a bargain but am not sure if this is worth £172. I'm not sure where and when this will be available in the UK. TBH I don't know much about the company at all apart from that they were a new american company. I look forward to trying the stuff out and letting you know what its like.

Lauren :P
