Christmas Ideas / my recent buys from Boots - Ted Baker Soap & Glory

So I might of gone spending a little bit the other day, so thought I would do a post on what I got, and they are great present ideas if you haven't got all yours yet. I am amazingly organised when it comes to presents I usually have things about a year in advance. 

The only problem with this is I need a lot of room to store everything and I occasionally I can't remember where I leave them.

The first thing was the gorgeous green box with has these three things in, its Ted Baker by the way. Body lotion and body wash with a scrubby thing (don't know what they are called). I just love these colours and design so much. These smell so nice and thought they would look so pretty in my bathroom.

I've seen this lip balm for a while and just thought it looked so pretty and just could help myself.

This body mist from Ted Baker was amazing, click here for my review.

So this is the inside of the big soap and glory box. I feel so guilty buying this as I already have most of the products in this. So now thats inside..

The Scrub of your Life - I am currently using this at home along with the Orangasm body wash that Soap and Glory did last year. Whilst here at uni I'm using a body shop one. I do really like this scrub though I have found it does go down quite quickly and it isn't the best that soap and glory do either so pretty sure I will never buy this out of a set.

Deep Cleansing Milk - So I absolutely love this and already still have about three laying around. I have used this for years to get my make up off before cleansing my face, yes I know this cleanses your face too but I like using a separate cleanser. So I'm pretty happy that this is in the box this year. Just need to start using as they do last forever.

Clean on Me - a few years ago this was the only body wash I used. It is great and I did love it but then my aunt got me body shop body wash which just lasts forever and I loved so much. This pretty much got forgotten. 

Righteous Butter Sunkissed Tint - So this is new or at least to me it is. Never seen this before. I've used Righteous Butter a lot, the normal one. But just isn't my favourite scented body butter they do, Breakfast smoothie is (think thats the name, am currently out). Excited to use this especially if I look nicely tanned.

Hand Food - this is the usual hand cream that I have had so many of, I prefer the Hand Dream one they do. I have far too many hand creams I just don't use them enough.

Heels Genuis - this is amazing I have used this for ages, because I do quite a bit of walking so my feet were quite rough. I've used this for well over a year and my feet are pretty softer now. I would recommend for anyone to go and take this.

Righteous Butter - I am actually currently using this at the moment so fine with getting another one. It is pretty good and was the first product I started to always get for soap & glory but in 2009ish when I started using their products.

Thick and Fast Mascara - I have used the normal black one of this mascara which I quite like but never this one so am excited to try.

Sexy MotherPucker Lip gloss- I have had a few of their lip glosses in the past and they are pretty good but I'm not a massive fan of lip gloss its too sticky for me.

So this is the end, this post if quite a bit longer than I thought it would be but seems like I decided to review the soap and glory box.

Hope to see you again tomorrow and any of these things would make a great present.

T J Maxx T K Maxx beauty buys the Balm Too Faced

So the other day, thursday I think. I decided to go shopping in t k maxx. I was so hoping not to buy anything but they has the balm and too faced.

First thing I counted as an essential was this face powder, my current too faced powder foundation is almost out so I grabbed this as soon as I saw. Even more amazing was this is the colour of the liquid foundation I got from T K Maxx the other day, meaning this should be the right colour.

Too Faced Soul Mates in Carrie and Big

So this is just the prettiest thing ever, just look at the bronzer, it is gorgeous. This blusher and bronzer set is making me really excited to try out. The colours look perfect for my skin tone.

The Balm Nude-tude palette

So this palette has been on my radar for a while so I was so excited when I saw this. The nude colours / brown vary quite a bit which I really like, with many having a shimmery tone to it. Below are my four favourite.

Swatches left to right

Snobby, Stand-offish, Sultry, Seductive

The first two are quite light but shimmery

Christmas Birchbox From Selfridges

So Birchbox are doing another build a birch box at selfridges this month so I went and got one. It was a pretty good range that they did but I picked up a few things, a couple that I already have.

Left to Right the the two below.

Aromatherapy Associates - Revive Body Gel

It was a toss up between this and Laura Mercier Body Creme but this one won. It's meant to awaken your skin which I thought sounded pretty good, so decided to give it a go. 

Seiche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat

I already have this, think from October Birchbox but I absolutely love this top coat so thought why not pick it again. The others were all nail varnish colours and I already have so many (far too many if I'm honest).

Number 4 - Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb Prep & Protect

I've had this sample before as well but I absolutely loved it so got this to keep for traveling. Its the perfect size and smells so good.

Elemis - Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream

I love Elemis for years, over 10 years ago I started to break out in spots so much. My mum got me Elemis Facial Cleanser and Toner, it worked so well. I used it for absolutely years. Since then I have moved on to try different things but I know if my face ever gets that bad again I can use them again. 

Anyway back to this, I thought it would be good to try as I never tried any of their creams. And I do love a night cream.

Bioderma - Make Up Removing Micelle Solution

This was a bonus as I'm signed up to birch box and it looks pretty good. I don't actually take my make up before I cleanse my face anymore. I guess I just got lazy as I always used to take off my make up first feel like I need to get back to this.

This Works - Deep Pillow Spray 

I love a good pillow spray and this is a great size to travel with. I sometimes find it help to get to sleep but a pillow mist works so well. I use Champneys one at the moment.

Lord & Berry - Silhouette Neutral Lip Liner

I actually already had every beauty product already but I thought I'd get another one of these as you can never have too many lip liners.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I will try and include these in weekly reviews at some point.

See you tomorrow:)

A few beauty products haul

A random short post on my latest beauty purchases.

I got Bed Head shampoo in B&M the other day as it was only 4.99 on the offer. I have wanted to try Bed Head for some time but usually find it too pricey.

Also this months glamour magazine as it comes with a clinque mini (I got the mascara, they were out of lipsticks).

Three Dove natural tan body lotion, I have tried my mum's but it was too dark for me, it was the medium to dark one. I'm just too pale so I thought I would try the fair to medium one hoping it wouldn't look orangey on me. I got three as were £1.99 each from Home Bargains.

I said it was a short. Sorry I'm spending so much time on my dissertation at the moment. (sad face).
