Primark, Boots and H&M haul

Its no secret that I love to shop, and today I visited my local shopping centre and picked up a few bits!

In Boots I picked up Dove's new purely pampering body oil in the scent pistachio cream and magnolia, and it smells absolutely divine! Just from the first use my skin feels soft, smells gorgeous and doesn't leave a greasy residue. I also picked up Seventeens nail effects polka dots polish which has small circles of light and dark blue and black. It would look lovely as an accent nail or for a full out all over nail effect.

In H&M I picked up a basic grey t-shirt which is loose fit and slouchy and would look great with a pair of skinny jeans and a statement necklace. I also just picked up a plain black long sleeved jumper ready for the winter, paired with some thick black tights and boots, this would make the perfect look.

Then last but not least... PRIMARK, I picked up some absolute bargains. I bought a plain black bag which reminds me of one i saw in ZARA, its just the right size and I can even fit my laptop in the centre compartment! I also got a pastel powder blue purse which is quilted and the hardware is rose gold. Also I picked up a Bardot style dress, which is worn off the shoulders and is very form fitting (might have to get the Bridget Jones pants out!!!) I then picked up another pair of my favourite capri leggings in black and white gingham, they are so easy to wear and pair with crop tops or slouchy tees. My favourite purchase of today however are my new boots. Chelsea styled cleated heeled boots for only £15! I couldn't resist, these will definitely be an autumn winter essential for me.

My 'sweet dreams' skincare routine

As any girl knows getting home from a long day at work or school or anywhere for that matter, 2 things are essential to ultimately relax. Number 1, taking off your bra! Number 2, taking off your make up!


My night time skin care routine hasn't been as good as it should be lately, so when i popped into Boots I picked up a few new bits to try out.


To take off the majority of my make up i use Garniers Micellar Cleansing Water, not only does it remove make up, including stubborn mascara, its fragrance free and feels just like water on your skin!


Next I use the Botanics All Bright Gentle Cleansing Cream, which contains hibiscus to brighten and leave the skin feeling smoother. This product smells amazing, and is essential to me for removing stubborn make up that didn't come off with the cleansing water.

I follow up using another Botanics product, the 100% organic Rosewater Toning Spritz. I must admit i hate spraying things onto my face, like make up setting sprays but needs must. When I first tried this I was shocked by the sensation, however it left my face feeling toned, clean and with the scent of Damask Rose I was sold!

Last but not least, I've been using the Nivea Daily Essentials Sensitive Night Cream, I have suffered from sensitive skin ever since I was little mainly on my face and my legs. However this cream leaves my face feeling well moisturised, reduces redness and overall more healthy looking.

In the morning when I wake up the next day my skin feels soft, rejuvenated and ready for the day! I haven't tried many skincare items from Botanics before and I'm glad that i have. Nivea and Garnier skincare have been staples in my skincare but every now and then its good to try something new!
