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!
