Last for my ASOS splurge was the Benefit They're Real mascara. Yep, I caved and I bought it. I have a real issue with spending SO much money on a mascara that I'm probably going to throw out in a few months, but this had been getting so much hype I had to give it a try. I like it, but I don't think I love it like I was expecting to. For some reason, and I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, it smudges on my lower lashes throughout the day. I think I have weird lashes! If you've been thinking about trying it, I would say go for it, it's worth trying at least once!

MUA Blush. // MUA Lipstick in Juicy. // MUA Undressed Palette |
I won the beautiful Lauren's giveaway a few weeks ago and I just wanted to mention these MUA products becuase I absolutely LOVE them! I'm always blown away by the quality of MUA make up and the best part is, everything is so affordable! This lipstick in the shade Juicy is going to be one of my go-to lip colours for Spring! Thank you so much, Lauren! I absolutely love everything!
I popped into Boots to get my beloved Collection Lasting Perfection concealer but they didn't have any, so I had to settle for something new. I went for the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer and I have to say, I'm not loving it so far. It seems to really stick to dry areas on my face and it doesn't blend very easily over my skin, which is odd because I love the matching foundation. I'm going to keep working with it though & I think I'll like it more in the summer time.
I picked up a skin essential for me, the Avene Rich Hydrating cream and since I purchased this a little while ago, I've almost finished the tube already! I can't get enough of this stuff, it's a real life saver for my skin in the cooler months. Lastly make up wise, I picked up another Natural Collection Pink Mallow lipstick just because they're super affordable and this is a colour I always keep in my bag. It's easy to wear and I like the formulation of it.
My mama bought me this super cute bunny jumper, I think from a local boutique but I'm not entirely sure. You know me, anything with bunnies on it I will love and I've been wearing this non stop for the past few weeks!
I've been seeing lots of cute painted initial letters on Pinterest, which I'm totally addicted to and I have to thank it daily for helping to decorate our home, and I had to get some for either above the fireplace or for our huge side table that needs filling with cute little decorations. I got these from ebay and they were only a few pounds each. I'm not going to link the seller I used because I'm not that impressed with them, they don't really stand up on their own so I'm going to have to stick them down somehow, but there are SO many choices that pop up when you search on eBay, you'll definitely find some if you want them.
I've been searching for a super simple, delicate gold necklace for the longest time and I finally found the perfect one from Love Hearts & Crosses. I like that it's non fussy and just looks lovely with everything! I've actually got a super sweet Love Hearts & Crosses giveaway coming up tomorrow so be sure to check back then!
Okay, phew, last thing! Another thing I can blame Pinterest for is my sudden want for a pair of clear acrylic glasses. I've found my dream pair here from Prism London but they're a little out of my price range at the moment so I toddled over to Etsy and found SO many pairs of vintage glasses. I pretty much want them all! These are from a seller called MOD Vintage and I can't recommend them enough! I completely appreciate that these aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I've figured that if I have to wear something on my face all of the time, I'm allowed to have lots of options! A I have to go for big frames because I have a giant moon face & small glasses look so silly on me!
Have you purchased anything new recently?

I love the glasses! I'd love it if I could find a pair that suit my face so that I wouldn't have to rely on my lenses x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm sure you'll find some very soon! xo
DeleteI loved Benefit's They're Real but the brush was just too sharp/spiky for my lids!
ReplyDeleteLove the initials :) xx
Thank you! xo
DeleteOh I may have to buy that little gold necklace tonight! I'm seriously tempted by the Stila blushes, and I personally love the Benefit mascara, but I don't use mascara on my lower lashes so can't vouch for that happening to you. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's SO pretty! <3
DeleteThose glasses are singing out to me!! They are so cute and if there is one thing I love it's blonde hair and glasses!! I find the bourjois concealer good under the eyes...didnt work for me on the face too.. although it is not that good coverage it never creases like so many do. But maybe I just have crinkly eyes!! The bunny jumper.. I might have to steal it! along with ralphie..as I think him and Goblin would make awesome friends..
ReplyDeletex
They are amazing glasses, I do love a good frame! Aww I think they totally would! xo
DeleteLove the glasses, they really suit you. I'm always drawn to both of the Nars blushes you've got but have managed to resist for now, its only a matter of time though! Xx
ReplyDeleteThey are both really pretty, if you do decide to get one you won't be disappointed! <3
DeleteYou really suit glasses! I wish I did!
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on orgasm by nars for soo long, but the price puts me off!
Jayde xo
Aww I'm sure you do too! They are super pricey but definitely worth it if you find a colour you really love! xo
DeleteThe Stila convertible colour looks beautiful! And I LOVE your new glasses xx
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! xo
Deleteoh my gosh that bunny jumper is so cute!! Love the look of the stila blush xx
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely colour <3
DeleteI love that bunny jumper Jennie! And how many blushes! lol ;) Shame the bourjois concealer was a bit of a fail (especially as I was one of some who recommended it when you were on the lookout for a new concealer) x
ReplyDeleteHaha ahh I know, I really need to stop buying them now! I think I'll like the concealer more when my skin is a little less desert like! xo
DeleteSuch great purchases. I'm really interested to try the Healthy Mix concealer, but it's such a shame to read your problems with it :(
ReplyDeletewww.dusterknuckles.blogspot.co.uk
I think it's just me because I know a lot of people really love it! I think it's a lovely product, just not one for my skin when it's super dry! xo
DeleteI really fancy the Illamsaqua blush duo, the colours look seriously up my street! I couldn't get on with the Benefit They're Real mascara either but some of my friends absolutely adore it, I think it definitely depends on your lashes.
ReplyDeleteHannah www.cagneyandlace.com
It's SO pretty, I really recommend it, it's one of my favourite purchases in a long time! <3
DeleteNo more blusher!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou have so many eeep! I only have 3 hahaha ;)
I have a haul like this to blog about, I'm worried people will think I'm a spendaholic but a lot was on offer!! ;)
xo
Ahh I know, I have WAY too much! xo
DeleteEven though I've heard countless raves about them, I have still yet to try Nars blush! I really need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteFizz and Frosting

ReplyDeleteIt's such a pretty colour <3
DeleteGaaah, you got some amazing things! I'd quite happily add all those blushers to my collection, and I really want to try "They're Real" too. xo
ReplyDeleteI really do recommend giving it a try <3
DeleteI didn't think I would like these frames, but they look so pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed by Avene lately. I recently got the Cleanance K that has glycolic, salicylic and lactic acid to exfoliate oily skin. Do let us know how you get on with the Stila blush, I keep reading reviews by people that either love it or hate it, would love to know your opinion!
xx
I will do! <3
DeleteI got a Benefit mascara sample from Sephora so I'm really really looking forward to trying it! I'm just in the process of buying glasses and they're so so expensive, I can't believe you got these for 20 pounds. They're AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it! <3
DeleteI really like your glasses My blog
ReplyDeleteThank you! xo
DeleteI want it all! The letters are so cute :) I have NARS deep throat and I love it, think it's my favourite

It's super pretty <3
DeleteI almost bought the MUA Undressed palette this afternoon! I got the Artiste palette in my stock this Christmas and I adore it - between that and my Naked Palette I'm pretty much sorted :-)
ReplyDeleteYour glasses are gorgeous and look great on you, not everyone can rock those without looking like Deidre from Coronation Street but you make them look so stylish :-) Will definitely take a peek at the rest of their range
Jem xXx
It's such a lovely palette, I think you'd really like it! Aww thanks lovely! <3
DeleteI actually think the glasses look so amazing on you! I know I could NOT pull of clear frames but they look really, really cute on you!
ReplyDeleteOh and remember - NO. MORE. BLUSH! :)
-aly
Haha thanks lovely! xo
DeleteI love the bunny jumper and I'd buy as many nars blushers as I could if I had the money :) I have the Bourjois concealer and because of the consistency I find it only works on my dark circles and not anywhere else on my face so it doesn't really work as a concealer for blemishes, I normally prefere maybelline coverstick as a cheap blemish concealer.

Thanks lovely! xo
DeleteFor someone who has an obsession with blushes, I don't actually own that many. Just like to lust over them on blogs but I love that Stila convertible colour!
ReplyDeleteYou pull off those clear frames so well!
xx
They're super pretty! Thanks hun! xo
DeleteI tried on a pair of similar acrylic glasses in Specsavers yesterday, was worried I might look daft, and left undecided. I'm going back next week, so I will let you know how I get on :)
