.... and another Penney's haul

So I went shopping yesterday for what was supposed to be to buy ingredients for a cake but I may have brought a little extra to visit Penney's and I wonder why I'm always broke. Well anyway here is what I bought and yes not just one candle like a normal person I got two because I couldn't decide which one I wanted more.

First of all I re-bought the P.S love make up brush cleaner as it just so handy for cleaning brushes after using them and I am almost out of my other bottle.

Next is the peach and sweet champaign candle which is in a cute jar that was €3. The first thing I noticed was the colour which I love then I opened it an had a little smell and wow it's so nice. It has a really sweet smell to it and is definitely peach, I was never too keen on peach's until I tasted peach ice tea and then became obsessed with it. 

The second candle I bought is the White lily and peony that is in the white jar that only cost €4. I looks lovely and I would never have even considered it because I usually stay clear of anything to do with lily's or I'll spend the next week sneezing. My sister insisted I smell it saying that she thought I'd love it when she saw it the other day, so I did and it smells like fresh washing or that fancy soap that only ever came out for guests lol. This is the type of candle I like to burn when I'm just relaxing on a quite day.

 I also got a new lip pencil in the hopes that it somewhat matches the wet n wild lipstick I bought the other day. I haven't put them together yet but they look pretty similar. It doesn't seem to say what shade it is but it was only €1.50

On my way to the till I spotted the eye cream for only a €1 so I bought it gets me every time. I used later on after taking off my make-up and although it was nice and soaked in well it slightly stung my eye area a little. It's not a like it left it red or anything but just a little stingy. I might use it once more and see if it does it again just so I know and that it wasn't that my skin was too dry or anything.

These colour they just find me every time. I keep looking at these pj bottoms and keep putting them back so today I just gave in and bought them. They where €7 and are so light and soft. I got them in a size bigger then I'd usually get because I suffer with a bad stomach and can swell up from time to time so it's nice to have something lose and not constricting to throw on especially since I sometimes have to wear a size up because of it.  I put them on the next chance i got and they are so comfy the band around them is really light elastic and really nice to wear.

The runners were a complete impulse buy. I have runners already a couple of them actually but these have memory foam and where only €13 so I convinced myself to buy them and see how the memory foam works out. I wore them walking to and from my evening class later that day and they where really bouncy to walk in but a little tight. It's really strange I bought some in Penney's in the same size a while ago and they where a little bit too big so this time I tried on the smaller size and they where so small I couldn't get my foot in them so I went back to my original size which are a little tight. Either my feet are trying to make a fool of me or the sizes are a bit off in there, I'm just hoping they will loosen up a bit if I where them around a bit because I love the colour.

Wasting makeup.

I don't usually like to write posts where I complain about things as I started to blog to share my thought on things I like, but there is something I keep seeing in shops that really irritates me. I am sure I'm not the only one who get annoyed by this so here it is my little rant about people who open make up in shops and use them then put them back on the shelf. Seriously who does this. 

Just the other day I was in Penney's (Primark) and was looking at the lip pencils and lipsticks. I found a pencil that I really wanted and a lipstick then I noticed that the lipstick had been used so I picked up another and found the same thing. There where six of this shade on the shelf and they where all opened and used then I noticed the lip pencil had also been tried out was actually broken and so was a few more beside it. It seems like such a waste and I ended up not buying anything because I couldn't find one that was still sealed in those shades. 

Really though who does this, I know maybe they wanted to test the shade but it was a bit ridiculous, the self was mainly broken and used products. I have seen this before in other shops too even when there are testers to try. Has anyone else found this too?

My New Face Routine

Some times I feel like make up removing products don't always take everything off. I feel limited to what I use as my skin tends to have reactions to certain products so I try not to over do the amount of products I use or change them around a lot.

Most days I don't wear that much make up and some days I don't even bother. I like to give my skin a break once or twice a week from make up. On night's out I do wear a good amount and sometimes break out after even though I have removed it all and cleansed my face. This is where I feel it's not removing it all.

So on a recent trip to Penney's ( I know it sounds like I'm there a lot) I saw these and thought I have to buy them. I think these thoughts a lot and this is why I'm always broke, well that and I keep leaving the country and flying to the other side of the world for a few months. At first the brush felt a little stiff and I wasn't sure if it would be to rough on my skin but once I used it I noticed it was much softer then I first thought and the sponges feel very similar to ones I have bought in the beauty shops. Not bad for €2.50 for both. 

After removing my makeup with makeup remover I applied my usual cleanser to my face and then using the brush I used a circular motion to rub the cleanser into my skin. After I was finished I dipped the sponged in some luck warm water and and removed the cleanser. Each time I wiped of some cleanser of my face with the sponge I used a different part for the next area of my face and rinse the sponge when I needed to. I felt like my face was so clean after and all I needed to do was apply some moisturiser and I was done.

Essence XXXL longlasting Matt effect lipgloss review

I recently bought this Lipgloss from Essence and had to do a review of it after wearing it I love it so much. This is the Shade 07 Silky Red.

This is my favourite lip product at the moment for three reasons.

1. The Look and feel.

It feels silky and creamy on, it's not sticky or thick. The texture feels really nice on and light. It's not a lipgloss that makes your lips feel like they might stick to each other or a glass. Then there's the Matt effect. I have seen so many people wearing Matt lips but wasn't sure if it was for me. The words lipgloss and Matt effect don't sound to me like they go together but actually they do and the Matt finish is fantastic. It's no lie that I love my lip glosses, who doesn't love a nice creamy shiny lipgloss ( maybe just me lol) but sometimes it's nice to mix things up a little and I do love my lipsticks and matts these day a little more then shiny. 

2. The Colour

The colour is just right. It's just the right shade of red, not to dark and not orangey toned like some other reds. I think this shade is good for my skin tone. I'm quite pale especially right now since my tan seems to have disappeared already :(. There is nothing worse then a red that makes you look so pale someone asked if your feeling all right. This has happened to me before and I've learnt my lesson.

3.It Lasts

 It is actually long lasting. The first time I wore this I only had to reapply once over the whole night, even after sipping away on a few drinks. I hate when you apply a lipstick or gloss take one sip of a drink and have to reapply constantly.  

Overall this is a great lipgloss and it's such a bargain it was under €4. I bought this in Penney's as an impulse buy because who can walk past the makeup stands in Penney's and not pick up something on the way to the tills.... no one, well not me anyway. I think I'd like to try some of the other shades of this too maybe pink because I do love pink lol.

Mini Haul

I went shopping yesterday and it was only to window shop as I really souldn't be buying anything else because I don't know where I'm going to put it. Anyway I went for a little browse in Penney's (Primark) because it's to tempting not to in the off chance I find a bargain or two that I have no choice but to buy as the price is just too good haha.

I did find some bargains actually and really good ones. First I got this mint green top for €1 and then I found these pink runners. 

The top is a lovely green which is one of my favourite colours and it's 100% cotton and really soft.

The shoes where only €2 which is great. They are very bright but I have always loved pink shoes and for €2 where could I go wrong.
