Hello! So I went shopping the other week because of the January sales and I also quickly popped into Superdrug yesterday so I thought I would put together all the bits I got into a shopping haul thingy (or whatever you want to call it!) I did only get a few things that I want to show you from each of the shopping hauls, especially from the January sales shop I did because most of what I got was for a later post I'm planning on doing.
Anyway, moving on to the actual post!
This is one of the things I got in the sales shopping trip I did and I am pretty certain that I have been almost living in it since I have got it! It is sooo comfy and cosy, plus it's Disney so I couldn't resist! I have got a couple of Disney tops and a Frozen hoody so I thought I might as well add to my small (at the moment) collection and buy a Mickey Mouse jumper - why ever not!
Then I got these very nice, black lace-up boots that go up just mid-shin on my legs and they are flat heels because I already have high-heeled boots and these were to replace my flat boots that had completely cracked along both soles of the boots. To be honest though, as much as they were extremely comfy, they definitely weren't easy to walk around on smooth surfaces as there was literally no grip whatsoever on the bottom of them so I think it was for the best that they broke!
I also went into Sports Direct to find some new trainers because my other ones are getting quite old and I didn't wear them as much because I started to go off the look of them (OK, not a proper excuse but I wanted new trainers anyway!) These Nike trainers, however, are really cool (in my opinion anyway!) and they have blue material over the top and the laces and the inside of them are green, and those are my favourite colours so I was already sold on that. The style is also really good as well and I think that I could wear these if I decided on going running (probably just walking for me, thanks), obviously not in this weather at the moment because it is so cold and rainy, very rainy (typical British weather basically!)
Lastly for the sales shop, I went into Boots and I got two things. Well I got more than that but the rest was possible birthday presents for friends and I know some of them occasionally look at my blog so I'm not going to show you what I got them in case they are reading this! Anyway, the first thing I got for me was this Pineapple (a dance company) set which included their Dance in the Rain body wash and a skipping rope. I did tell you in the last post I did that one of my new year resolutions was to become fitter/healthier and so far, I have not gone back on my word! And hopefully when the weather gets better I will be able to skip outside to my heart's content - not kidding! The body wash was mainly a bonus that came in the set but I do love the scent of it which is a very refreshing mix of white tea and mint.
In Superdrug I got Tanya Burr's Handy Candy Manicure set and other than the fact it is in one of my favourite YouTuber's cosmetics range, I actually needed a new pair of nail scissors because my other ones broke a while ago now and you never know when you're going to need a pair of nail scissors. As I found out after I broke them!
Moving onto the quick drugstore stop I did yesterday, I actually only went in for concealer and oil-control paper-thingys (will explain in the next picture!) but because it was me in my natural habitat (i.e. makeup and skincare galore), I found a few more things that I just had to get! These Deep Action Pore-Cleansing Nose Strips being one of them!
To be honest though, I think this is what I need
to try out if I want any hope of getting rid of the annoying, tiny blackheads that insist on staying on my nose. Hopefully it will work, or at least get rid of some of them, because I am getting to the stage of wanting to chop off my nose - OK, maybe a slight exaggeration but still! If you have any products you swear by or any methods that work that you've tried on your blackheads please comment them down below, I need to know!
This was actually one of the things I planned to go in for. They are Mattifying Shine Control Papers by the same brand as before, Deep Action, and they are meant to absorb any excess oil on an area that has built up with lots of oil during the day and the thin layer of powder on the paper gives an instant matte finish once you've put it on.
Now, I've only used it properly once, which was at the end of school today and I have to say that it does work pretty well and I was pleased at the result I got as it just takes away all of the shine from the excess oil and I looked in the mirror afterwards and I honestly thought I looked a bit more refreshed. All without having to put on another load of makeup on which can make your face look quite cakey and doesn't let your skin breathe as well. I definitely recommend this - you might even see it in a 'latest beauty obsessions' post in future!
Finally, the last thing I got was this hand and nail cream which is meant to strengthen nails and moisturise hands. I have tried to use this as much as I could within the space of just over 24 hours so I could give you some sort of opinion on this and I am not disappointed! The reason I got this was because some of my nails have started spitting and cracking and they've not been able to grow as well as a result of that. So I thought I would try this to see if it helps my nails a bit more and my hands have been very dry because of the coldness anyway. It has already made my hands feel more moisturised and softer and I can tell it is helping repair my nails and make them stronger. If that's in 24 hours, imagine how effective it could be if I used it often every day! It smells nice too... kind of like a more subtle scent of baby wipes... actually I think that sounds weird!
That's all for today, I hope you liked it! I've been thinking of actually setting a day that I post on my blog and it might end up being a Monday seeing as at the moment that's when I've been publishing them but it's me and I am not organised (even if that is one of my resolutions!) so maybe, maybe not, we'll see. For now though, post soon xx
