Itsy bitsy haul

I nipped in town today to get another copy of my birth certificate as I have lost mine :( And somehow got distracted by shops :O
I had a £5.50 clubcard coupon for Tesco so decided to get a few things I needed/wanted. This morning the postman also left me a package I have been looking forward to for ages, NYX lippies!
So today I bought NYC Nail Polish in Madison Avenue, this is such a gorgeous bright red/pink with a lovely pearl finish. Love he formula and am definitely going to get more!
In Tesco i picked up the Blistex Intensive Moisturiser because my lips have been really dry recently and nothing has helped them and a travel size baby shampoo for washing my make-up brushes. I then gravitated towards the make-up and picked up Wet n Wild Mega glow, I think most big Tesco's sell Wet n Wild, but I've wanted to try this for a while and as it states it just leaves you with a glow on your cheeks.



On to a small rant. On the 14th August I ordered two NYX lipsticks(Black Label in India and Round Lipstick in Indian pink, both really nice colours) from Mscuppycakes.com. I have only just received them this morning, that's almost a month I have been waiting on them. I know it's from America so I wasn't exactly expecting it in a week but I have ordered from the US and even Asia before and it hasn't take much longer than just over two weeks. I was even told it would be about 8-10 days, this clearly didn't happen.

India on top, then Indian Pink then Blistex Intensive Moisture
Anyway I am happy they are finally here and I am quite pleased with my unexpected haul today :)

Boots Botanics Sensitive Cleansing Mousse Review

Price - £3.91

What it says - "Botanics Sensitive Cleansing Mousse is a gentle, soap free wash, which sweeps away impurities and make-up without overdrying. Leaving skin looking healthy and radiant."

What I think - This is the latest addition in my quest to find a good cleanser for my skin, previous to this I was using a Witch Foaming Face wash which I liked but I'm not such a fan of this. It claims to not be overdrying but I find that if I don't put on my moisturiser within 5 minutes of washing my face my skin feels very tight and dry, which doesn't help since I already have dry enough skin as it is! However it does leave my face feeling quite soft and smooth.
It has very natural smell which most Botanics have which is quite pleasent. Whilst using this I have found that I need atleast 3 or 4 pumps to get enough to thoroughly cleanse my face, this isn't very economical as I've only used this for about 3 weeks and I'm almost done. So the search is on for my next cleanser! Any recommendations?

I would recommend this cleanser for those with more oily skin as it can be drying, although if you want a foaming face wash check out the Witch foaming cleanser I prefer that.

I can haz job?

Finally I have a job! Ok so it's nothing special but I do!
I have been looking for a job for more than a year, as I'm at uni it's been difficult with the hours of working and such so weekends and evenings where when I was able to work. But finally I have a job at Amazon! Nothing too exciting, it's mainly for christmas but I start next week. It's a big amazon warehouse full of all the books and cds and small things people order. So if you order anything from amazon this christmas, I might be packing it up for you!

This weeks buys!

So even though I don't have money I found an excuse to go shopping, my friend gave me her No7 £5 voucher :) Therefore I just HAD to nip into town and get something!

I ended coming away with more than one thing :S
I first purchased Company as I have not been able to find this, got it at Tesco though. This month you get a free unnamed double ended mascara, I'm very cautious of free unbranded make up with magazines as they usually turn out to be rubbish. However this seems to work quite nicely, it pretty much does the same as Lash Stiletto does for my lashes.

The base end is a metallic silver colour, I didn't really notice this doing anything major but the end result with the black coat over it wasn't as horrible as expected.

As from the pictures the two brushes are different shape. The mascara being a tapered brush.
Next I went to boots and could not help myself when it came to the new Maybelline lipsticks! I bought 112 Ambre Rose which I heard about from lollipop26

This is such a lovely wearable shimmery pink colour with, what I would say, a tiny bit of coral in there too.
I then made my way to the No7 counter to get a nail polish, I tend to get these when I have the vouchers because it works out at £1.25!I bought Sugar Syrup, a very opaque pale pink when applied. After these purchases I got another voucher so I decided I needed another nail polish in Highland Mist, a lovely redish nude brown, really unique colour that's quite hard to describe.

(L)Highland Mist (R) Sugar Syrup
My last stop was Superdrug, not expecting to buy anything just for a wander. I came across the St. Ives section to see that there was money off some of the products as new packaging is replacing the current one.

I bought the invigorating scrub for all skin types, with the money off it worked out as £2.70. I have tried this out and will be doing a full review later on.
So there we have it!
Any good beauty buys this week?
