stuff that I'm loving at the moment

As I haven't done my monthly faves for ages,
I decided to share my faves at the moment.

COLOURFUL EYELINERS
As summer is finally here (well, Scottish summer lol),
I'm in love with playful makeup.
These are all different brands: MUFE, Primark, The Body Shop, H&M.
They're quick to use and very summery.



CLEARASIL RAPID ACTIVE TREATMENT CREAM
As I've been stressed out recently with college and stuff,
I had some major breakouts but this cream works
really well as the overnight treatment
(I wouldn't say that it works within 4h though).



L'OREAL EYELASH SERUM BOOSTER
I used it regularly for about 3 weeks
and my lashes feel stronger. Love this stuff!



THE BODY SHOP EYESHADOW in SUNDOWN GLOW 02
Whenever I'm going for a neutral shadow, that's the one I'm grabbing.
Plus, it looks really nice in the summer because of
the shimmer. Gives an easy smoke eye effect:)



BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION
Perfect for summer as it feels light but gives medium
coverage. It leaves the skin looking a bit dewy.
Impressive for a drugstore product!



RIVER ISLAND WATCH lol
I've got it for over a year.
It's actually a guys' watch but I never leave
my house without it.



IMPULSE DEODORANT - TEASE
I carry it in my purse cos its only 75 ml.
It smells very feminine and allows me to refresh myself
whenever I need it.



ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIPES
I've been travelling a bit and wipes are the best
way of saving some space in your luggage:-)



HARAJUKU SUNSHINE edition - LOVE
A very sweet, playful scent.
It fits my mood perfectly at the moment.
And the packaging is adorable lol



PALMER'S BUTTER
&
THE BODY SHOP SHIMMER BODY BUTTER
The first one great for the night (just hate the bottle,
it gets really difficult to squeeze it out) but it leaves the
skin so soft and moisturised in the morning.
The second one makes the skin shimmer but without any
heavy glitter. And it's coconutty:D Love it!



SPONGEBOB EARRINGS (from Claire's)
Haha. I know. Pretty childish but oh well lol



BLUEBERRIES
Yummy! My favourite snack at the moment.



Wish you all a great week!
xoxo

drugstore shopping on a student's budget =)

I popped into Superdrug today real quick.
Well, at least it was meant to be quick lol



I needed a new night cream.
I found this Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream.
It says on the package: 'Our naturally sourced Vitamin E
is a powerful antioxidant which not only revitalises and protects
the skin, it also helps combat the damaging effects of free radicals
and shields it against the environment. The rich Nourishing Night Cream
provides the extra hydration and daily nourishment your skin needs
to keep it feeling soft, smooth and looking radiant'

All that for just £1.22:) LOL
Well, obviously I don't expect that much
but I tried it on my hand and it feels really moisturising
and smells nice. So yeah, fingers crossed=)



Then I picked up Deep Action Daily Cream Wash
For £1.49 they promise that 'It's uniquely formulated
with salicylic acid, aloe vera and cucumber juice to deeply purify
pores and help soothe and reduce the redness of inflamed
skin. With sebum control, this will leave skin refreshed and
mattified. Ideal for everyday use.'



I finished my bareMinerals foundation
but I refuse to pay £22 (I got the other one for Christmas).
The Bourjois Healthy Mix is on special deal
for £7.99 instead of £9.99.
I'm nr 51 Light Vanilla (the lightest one).
I tried a sample before- it's medium coverage,
very blendable and smells divine!
(maybe I'll do a full review in the future?)



And the last thing- I've been looking for a drugstore
peachy blush forever!
Seriously, drugstores are full of millions of shades
of pink but it is a challenge to find a nice peachy blush.

So glad I found it N.Y.C. Colour Wheel
Mosaic Face Powder 726 A Peach Glow.

O la la=)
The first thing I did when I got home -
I grabbed my blush brush and throw it on my cheeks.
I am so so satisfied with that product.
Gorgeous mat peachy glow=)
(if that makes any sense)
Perfect for pale beauties lol







BTW have you seen Harajuku Sunshine Cuties??
So adorable!

The one I fancy the most is LOVE.
She's so chic
