Batiste Dry Shampoo- Coconut & Exotic Tropical- £2.99- Pharmacy.

Batiste Dry shampoo was quite a late April purchase. My mum bought it for me because she used up all of my old dry shampoo which was by Girlz Only. I was never really a huge fan of dry shampoo if I'm honest but this was a pleasant surprise. I had tried the minis of Batiste before and never really liked them. It leaves your hair silky, soft and FULL of volume. It's pretty big also and my mum paid £2.99 for 200ml from the pharmacy. I love this scent which is "Coconut & Exotic Tropical". I will definitely repurchase and am really considering getting more types. This is good for ALL hair types. Stay tuned for a review if I do pick up more.



Katie Price "Precious Love" Perfume- £14.01- CheapSmells.com (I got as gift, includes body lotion!)

I received this particular bottle of perfume from my little sister for my 18th birthday and it comes with a shimmering body lotion in a gift set. And I actually like (and use) the body lotion, which is rare for me! The bottle is really amazing and actually really classy. It's a mirrored, 3D, almost mishaped heart with a "diamond" on the top and a purple tint. It's 50ml, which will set you back around £14 (with the lotion) on cheapsmells.com. I've nearly used it all which is very rare for me as I have quite a few perfumes. That just proves how nice it is. As I am bad with scents here's an official description from cheapsmells:

"Precious Love is the new fragrance from Katie Price for 2010. Inspired by romance, Precious Love opens with top notes of Kaffir lime, dewy green leaves and drops of watery musk. The heart consists of dazzling blooms of jasmine and creamy white rose that blend with notes of fresh cotton, which lead the way to the base of palisander, amber, musk, vanilla and benzoin."

Really lovely summer scent plus it lasts a really long time!

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer- Oil Free- £28 (50ml)- John Lewis

This is pricey! Good but pricey. At £28.00 for 50ml it's quite steep...or would be if it wasn't an absolutely AMAZING product! I got oil free as I have quite oily skin. I can REALLY tell a difference when I use it under my foundation! Even though I really hate Laura Mercier face products, this is a godsend! It smells a bit funky (always did) and can feel a bit thick when you apply it, but if you wait about 30 seconds- 1 minute before applying foundation it really works and sinks in lovely. It makes my face soft and helps my face products glide on plus it makes them last SO much longer! One of my must haves for the summer! It's lasted me about 9-12 months so it's a great investment and is to me worth the price. It has practically all gone so please excuse the oddly shaped, squeezed tube! ;)

L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Excess- Black- £10.99- Boots

I love, love, love L'Oreal mascaras!! The original "Volume Million Lashes" was great but to me Excess is even better! I don't think there is a huge difference but I do prefer this one! I'm going to do a full review on this one and a few other mascaras in a few weeks time so stay tuned for that. :D

China Glaze Nail Polish- Electrify- £4.75- Amazon

I *believe* this particular polish was part of "The Hunger Games" collection for China Glaze but it's really pretty! The colour is a beautiful red and gold glitter and applies very nicely even though you need a good few coats. It lasts a good amount of time and doesn't chip too badly. I love this colour.

MAC Mineralize Blush- Dainty- £19- Debenhams

This blush by MAC is mineralized which I really like. I feel that it's not as heavy as other blushes but has a great colour payoff and gives a beautiful, natural look. The colour is Dainty which is a pretty basic pink. A light hand is advised as it's buildable but comes out quite strong with a heavy hand. Also I think that it has a bitter of shimmer to it but I'm not sure anymore.


MAC Lipstick- Amplified Finish- Impassioned- £14- Debenhams

This lipstick is by MAC and is of the Amplified formula. The Amplified formula is my second favourite, only behind Cremesheen. They are creamy but in my opinion often dry Matte. Though they are not really drying at all. The colour is very unique and hard to describe but is a very vivid pink with obvious red and orange undertones, sometimes looking red/coral. It's really pretty and at £14 is worth the money in my opinion. Definitely recommended.

MAC Pro Palette 15 Pan Eyeshadow Custom Palette- £11.50 (old) for empty palette. £10 for each eyeshadow pan.- Debenhams.

This is one of the old style 15 pans custom MAC palettes. Basically they are build your own. You just buy the empty palette holder and then can buy each seperate pan whenever you want in whatever shades you want. The palette cost me £11.50 from the MAC counter at Debenhams. And each individual eyeshadow pan cost between £9.50-£10 depending on when I bought them. I am always expanding my eyeshadow collection and constantly reorganizing my palettes. Some of the more popular colours in this palette are: Ricepaper, Omega, All That Glitters, Woodwinked, Cork, Romp and Mulch. Each one is quite different but a few of them are quite similar. They are all neutral shades with a few browns at the end. I use this palette every day without fail and they are really beautiful, blendable and just really nice. You can make quite a few different looks, especially when used with my "Smokey" MAC palette which I have just completed and will feature on here soon!
