Recent Purchases
Hey guys!
I'm trying to be sensible with my money and save, which doesn't seem to
be happening for me, but recently I have been purchasing a few of my
essentials, and some non-essential, random stuff, so I thought to share
them with you.
I got this sweet dreams wall sticker off ebay (see link here)
for around £2. I think this is an absolute bargain and I wanted
something on my walls, something cute and homely. My wall has some weird
scrapy bits - when I use to put up posters of my revision notes and
then I ripped them off and took some wall paint with it...ooops. But
that aside, I think it looks pretty neat and I like the little
butterflies too. I plan to buy a Marilyn Monroe quote to put over my
makeup dressing table - something about beauty that will inspire me =)
Skincare
My sister's best friend just recently came back from Paris so I asked for a bottle of Bioderma.
This was around £7 there which is cheap as chips - although chips are
not £7! I do like this as a second cleanser. I feel like it puts a soft
bounce back into your skin, something I will definitely be needing in
the winter seasons, so I thought it was best to stock up now. Boots Cold Cream
is my favourite makeup remover now. It's a really thick cream, so I
apply a thick layer all over my face, then massage this all in like you
would with the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser, and then with a face wipe
or cotton pad, I wipe it all off. It honestly removes the toughest
mascara, it leaves your skin very moisturised after and not sore. I
think this again is perfect for the approaching Winter seasons, and it's
so quick and easy at removing your makeup before you pop into bed. I
decided to purchase the Kleenex facial clothes to use with the cold cream - so I'll let you know how I get on with this. I then picked up the Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser
which I have been using over 2 weeks now and I'm not a huge fan. I
wanted a daily face wash and cleanser in one, this seems to be that, but
it hasn't been working well for my skin. It was great to use when the
weather was boiling because my face felt very calm and cold after, but
it rally does dry my skin out, so I think this is better suited for oily
skin types. Lastly, I picked up the Nivea Day Cream which my
best friend has been using for years. I decided to give it a shot and it
honestly does the job. It makes my face appear more glowing, I apply my
foundation straight after and it gives such a nice balance to my face.
I've used many expensive creams before but this one is a great every day
one for those on a budget.
Haircare
Since my hair has been brutally damaged from my Ombre, I have started to
commit to hair masks and looking after my hair. I used no heat on my
hair for a full week, kept my hair curly and every day I would add some
oil to it. I literally soaked my hair in the oil for the whole week, and
then the next week is was super shiny that everyone thought I had cut
my hair fresh. I've been using Jasmine Oil which is great at thickening the hair, and raw coconut oil. The Raw Coconut Oil comes
in a thick solid form, so take a spoon out and heat it in the microwave
for literally 20 seconds or more - dependent on how solid it is. I
think coconut oil works better when it is heated anyway. I then apply
this to my hair, wrap my hair in a towel for around a couple hours, then
wash my hair. I advise doing an oil treatment twice a month, not too
much because it can clog you scalp which can make it very itchy. I now
try to go curly once a week - to avoid heat and soak my hair with oil at
the same time. I lastly picked up my all time favourite hairspray from L'Oreal - it honestly holds my curls and brushes out easily.
