Beauty Buys
So recently I have become obsessed with make up- especially from Benefit! Up until this day I have been a pure MAC girl, but one Thursday afternoon everything changed. I popped into my local MAC store to pick up a few products but firstly I wanted some help from one of the make-up artists to get some advice on some colours. I waited 30 minutes (which I didn't mind as it was quite busy) but I was personally made to feel like I was a 'hindrance' or a 'bother' to them so I ended up strolling into the next room- Ah Benefit! The lady greeted me with the biggest smile whilst also complimenting me on my top. She instantly was very attentive and asked if I was all OK, where I then asked if I could try out some new bronzer/concealer colours. She sat me down straight away and pretty much re-did my whole make-up for me- I was chuffed. I ended up buying a 'Play Stick' which is an all in one concealer, foundation and powder. The stick contains green tea, chamomile and ginkgo biloba which helps to maintain a healthy complexion. I got the Play Stick in ivory and paid £26.50- it feels unbelievably light on my skin! I then got 'Hoola' bronzing powder which I highly recommend if you want a natural 'tanned' look. I paid £23.50 for this product (which I know will probably last me a whole year).

| Benefit Review Picture 2 I rate the customer service at Benefit 10/10! I also received some samples which were relevant to my skin consultation. |
The Body Shop Atlas Mountain Rose Range
Perfume- £15.00
Body Lotion- £10.00
Shower Gel- £6.50
Gift Box (which I purchased containing both perfume and shower gel) Only £20!
You may think 'granny' BUT I LOVE THIS ROSE RANGE! It smells so gorgeous that I just want to indulge myself in this scent 24/7.
The Body Shop Mango Butter Range
Small Mango Butter- £5.00
Mango lip butter- £4.00
These both smell as good as one another! As my lips are now getting dry and sore from the cold air, I would recommend this lip butter over Vaseline any day!
Fashion Buys
Eltoria LOVES!
I bought these tops in a larger size so that they would be slightly baggy. I like to wear these tops with leggins, jeggins or lighter jeans.
Necklace- Primark £2.50
Both Tops- Primark £4.00 each
Boots- Newlook £24.99
Seasonal Purchase
Jumper- TKMax £16.99
I actually found this top in the mens section! This jumper is extremely cosy which looks amazing with just a pair of leggins. I always find that the mens section (at this time of year) have better jumpers than the ladies. Be brave!
SALE Item
Real Leather Jacket- Newlook £20.00
I honestly couldn't believe that this little beauty was in the sale for just £20 (reduced from £70!) I however wanted a new leather jacket which WAS NOT black (as everyone seems to be wearing black leather jackets these days) so beige was perfect- I'm in love!
Candle Buys
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE candles!- especially at this time of year. I have recently been experimenting with many fragrances but if any of you have any personal recommendations then please let me know! This months picks are:
TU Candles- purchased in Sainsburys on offer for £2.99 each
Yankee Candle- Mandarin and Cranberry £19.99
What tickles your fancy then?
