Recent Shopping Trip
I love a good shopping
trip, and I wanted to start a new style of blog post here on my blogspot, so
when I go on a shopping trip I will let you guys know what I got and what my
opinion is on it. Sort of like a Favourites post.
I was after some new
shades of lipstick, so I headed to YouTube to watch some make up
recommendations and I usually find myself watching a Zoella video. I have
noticed I am now more inclined to buy something if someone recommends it. So I
went to Boots and got the Kate Moss Lipsticks from Rimmel London in shades 110
and 107, 107 being the darker shade and 110 being the lighter shade. I have
always loved the Kate Moss collection from Rimmel London because; they feel so
nice and last all day. A while ago I wanted to start wearing lipstick and then
gave the Kate Moss collection from Rimmel London a go and have never looked
back on it. I really recommend getting them if you are trying out lipstick for
the first time. I love the price for them as well; you get a great quality
lipstick for £5.49.
In the same Zoella video
I saw she recommended a peach coloured lipstick, now my lipstick collection is
either pink or different shades of red, so this was a different shade but I was
intrigued with how the shade would look. This shade is from Revlon and is
called Tutti Frutti, exactly the same smoothness as the Rimmel London ones, it
feels super balmy on your lips and is a really subtle colour and lasts all day
as well. Only at £7.99 I was very impressed by the price and I am in love with
this colour a lot, so if you want to change up your lipstick colour then I
recommend it.
I really needed an
eyebrow pencil sharpener as I recently have started using an eyebrow pencil. So
I was not after a very expensive one so I just got the Boots one for £2.00 and
it works really well, sometimes when you get cheap sharpeners they don’t the
job at all, but was very happy with this essential purchase.
Now onto hair bits, I
usually don’t use many hair care products I just simply shampoo and condition
my hair. A while ago I started using the Vo5 Heat Protect Styling Spray, I
stopped using it, as I was being far too lazy. Now I have started using it
again and have noticed a huge difference with my hair, bare in mind my hair is
thick so it takes around 15 minutes to dry my hair. This spray just makes your
hair smoother and it has a lovely scent to it, I just apply this to my wet hair
after I have a shower and then dry my hair and get a great result. I really
recommend this if you are looking for a spray that keeps even the thickest of
hair smooth and light. Only paid £3.69 for a 200ml bottle at Boots and it
definitely is great value for money.
I don’t usually do much
else with my hair, but since my hair is shorter now I want to experiment with
different styles with my hair. So I bought some L’oreal Salt Spray, and I am
yet to use it as I was sort of clueless on how to use it, but I searched
YouTube and found a decent tutorial. I want to try the beach hair style look so
next time I curl my hair I will give this spray a go and see where it takes me.
You have to work this spray into your hair and just generally go for the messy
hair look. I will do a blog post when I actually try out this spray but I got
this from Tesco at £3.50 and yes it is a small bottle but I don’t tend to use a
lot so it was a perfect size for me.
Moving onto home stuff
now and I am always on the look out for new pillows for my bed because I aspire
to have a bed with about 20 pillows that make my bed look awesome. So I headed
to Cargo Home Shop and had a look around and found this beautiful blue-buttoned
cushion, I have a lot of pink cushions in my room but always love a little pop
of colour, I only spent £9.60 on it and I was very happy with it. It is super
soft and I was not 100% with the material at first but it is very comfy to lean
against. I bought another item in Cargo Home Shop and got this gorgeous glass
candle holder, it now sits in my en-suite on my window sill and I want to add
some pebbles in the bottom and add a small tea light to it, but I only paid
£3.74 for it and thought that was a bargain price for it. I am sort of obsessed
with candles at the moment and this is on the larger side of my candle holders,
this could be great if you wanted to have a BBQ and you could easily put it
outside in the garden.
Lastly onto fashion
bits, I really do not have nice summer style cardigans and was after anything
colourful and bright that might go with a pair of shorts and a tank top or a
cute dress. So I headed to New Look and found these two cardigans, the first
one, which I have been wearing a lot lately, is the longer one with the lace
style pattern on the bottom. This one is very soft and I like the darker colour
on it as it goes with a lot of lighter coloured dresses I have. The other one
has a very gorgeous bottom pattern, it is very soft like the other one and the
length is shorter and the material is slighter thinner but I love the pattern
on this one the most. I paid £24.99 for both of them and I reckon I will be
wearing these a lot over the next couple of weeks.
Well I hope you guys
enjoyed reading this weeks blog post, let me know if you want to see more of
these type of blog posts. I will see you on the next blog post.
Love Akika xxxx
