What I have been loving.

As I haven't posted I a while I thought that my first post back should be What I have been loving in the last few months. 

First up is this Champneys set I got for Christmas. I always end up with loads of bath stuff at Christmas and have the year to use it all up before I get more again! 

There is a comforting bath milk which is sweet almond oil, wheat germ extract and chamomile extract and a shower gel which is coconut oil and nourishing proteins, both smell Delicious!

As you can see, I'm nearly out of these! My only gripe is with the bath milk's packaging, the inside of the lid has broken off just by me trying to screw the lid back on so now is uneven and just hanging on the top... not a fan! 

Next up is this Calvin Klein lipstick in the shade Truth. I think this is a really pretty pinky/corally colour and is well pigmented. It stays put really well and is relatively moisturising on the lips, Plus they are so affordable! 

This hair oil by Schwarzkopf I've been loving for a long time, but completely forgot I had it until a month or two ago. I use the tiniest bit on the tips of my fingers to just go through the ends of my hair once I've finished styling it. 

The last beauty product Is this gorgeous palette from Revolution, the Iconic 1. The colours are fab and range from smoky to neutral with some nice in between shades. You only get 2 Matte shades, one neutral and the other is a plum colour. The rest are Shimmery and for £4 It's amazing value. They are really easy to blend and the shimmery ones don't leave you with too much fall out. I've been reaching for this more often than anything else. 

A few non beauty things I've been loving... 

This one is slightly random, but I love this squash! I don't really like squash usually but brought this to get my water intake up as I don't like water (unless it's really hot or I'm ill!) and it's really nice. Plus it's sugar free, win win! 

This scarf I got from Primark and I Love it so much! I think it's kind of preppy and can go with most things. I love that it's big enough to look cosy but not too big that it feels like you have a blanket around your neck! 

The TV series I've been loving is The Vampire Diaries. When I find something I love, I go hard or go home. And I managed to smash out the first 5 seasons of this within about 5/6 weeks. I love it!!! Now I just need to find season 6 somewhere as I missed the beginning of it on TV.

Lastly, I've been loving my Harry Potter items... I got this time turner key ring when I visited back in January (blog to come!) and found it when I moved recently so popped it onto my keys. Also my lovely friend brought me the time turner necklace for my birthday in February.  

                                                                          

What have you been loving recently?

I went Shopping!

Ooops! I went shopping and had to pick up a few make up bits as I don't have as many neutral eye-shadows as I used to after losing my Naked Palette! (It was a sad day... I'm slowly recovering...)

I popped into Superdrug and had a look at some of the more affordable palettes as I'm scared of losing my make up again to be honest... and as you can see brought a couple of other goodies too!

I had a look at MUA after purchasing their 'Pretty Edge Luxe' palette (below) a few months back, which was a steal at only £8. (It was definitely the studs on the case that drew me to it!)
Unfortunately, I couldn't see any that I liked.

I then noticed the Revolution stand which I think is a new addition to my Superdrug store. They had a lot of choice for eye palettes and I was stuck which to choose!
I finally decided on this one which is the Redemption Palette Iconic 2:

I chose this one as instead of the usual square and circular shape of colour in most palettes, these are more rectangular and it looks like there is more product.
There probably isn't at all, but I like to think so!  This baby was a mere £6 which to me is a bargain for 12 shades.

As you can see from the swatch above, some are definitely more pigmented than others, but are all really easy colours to wear. I think a few of these will certainly become firm favourites, but will let you know how I get on with them as it seems the metallic ones need a few coats to build it up, and the light colour on the far left was quite chalky and had a bit of fall out.

Secondly, I picked up this little gem, also from the Revolution stand. The thing that made it stand out to me was the fact it is Rose Gold, and looked interesting as I was unsure as to why there was a little bottle of liquid inside the box. It's from their Awesome Metals Foil Finish collection.

                                        


So apparently what you are meant to do is... put some of the liquid primer with the rose gold shadow into the tray they provide you with, mix it up and then use.
And this is the result...
I LOVE THIS!!! What makes it better is that it was only £5. Bargain!


            

This was with only one layer, but it says you can build it up. Darn lights don't show the colour very well. But I intend to wear this lots as its sooo pretty, so will do a FOTD with it soon.

The last make up item I brought was the Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer. I only have a crumpled mess left of my Bobbi Brown bronzer, and decided I really should get a new one but wanted a change.

             

I used to use this one all the time back in the day, and the fact it smells of chocolate (albeit faintly...) makes me happy. I also like that the shimmer is very minimal as I can use it to contour too.

I also brought some new dry shampoo and hairspray from the Urban Fudge range as they are on special offer in Superdrug at the moment and I needed new ones anyway. I am going to do a review on these so I wont tell you about these here!
As you can also see (sneaky sneaky!) I also went a bit crazy in Lush... There will be a Post dedicated to these goodies in a few days. :)

Have you brought any new items recently that you love?

Much Love,
