Easter Monday!

Hello everyone!

Last Monday was Easter Monday so my Dad had the day off work and my sister wasn't in college for the day so we had an outing! I've already uploaded the vlog I made onto YouTube! You can find the vlog I done of the day here!

I was the driver for the day, which meant a motorway and I would finally meet. It wasn't as bad as I thought, so I'm hopeful that the 300 mile drive to Cornwall in the summer will be okay. I drove the three of us down to St. Mary's bay in Dymchurch in Kent, and then later we hit Folkstone! Here are just some pictures of our day :)

Had a wander through the town, and I bought things in the Works | Dad outside his fave sweet shop which was shut! He looked so sad!

Walking back to the car and the sun got incredibly hot and bright on the way back | Picture of me taken by the sister!

There were a lot more pictures, most of which are blurred or just of the beach repeatedly! Hope you are all having a great day and keep safe :)

Fragrance Direct Haul | Beauty

Hello everyone!

Just another Fragrance Direct blog post again today! I've got an addiction to their website and bargain prices, and when it was payday, I sort of found myself filling up the cart and purchasing all that was within! So here it my bigger-than-usual haul of goodies!

Firstly with the nail polishes. I love doing my nails so I'm always after new polishes! I forgot I'd already bought one yellow when the other went it, but one is shiny and the other is sparkly, so oh well!

L to R: Rimmel Sunshine - £1.55 | Rimmel At Ease - £1.25 | Rimmel Sunny Days - £1.25 | Rimmel Lycra Pro Jungle Princess - £1.25 | Constance Carroll Berry - 50p | Maybelline Fuchsia Fever - £1.75 | Maybelline 830 Silver Speed - £1.75

The yellows are so nice and bright, perfect for summer and the fuchsia is quite matte so I'll definitely use it for nail art, and the silver is so pretty!

Then I picked up these Purex Wipes for 99p which is a bargain! I'm not prone to many blemishes, but just in case, I bought this little Witch Blemish Stick for £2.25. This Simple Eye Make-up Remover Pen is something I saw in Boots the other day, but off of the Fragrance Direct website it was £1.99 instead of £4.99 in shops.

I saw this Royal Large Eye Shadow Brush in some beauty shop down my town, and wasn't sure about it, but the £1.25 price tag on the site persuaded me to it!

Never used a W7 product before, I think they are new, not sure! I've needed a new eyeliner pencil for a while and this gel one is so much easier to apply! W7 Gel Eye Liner Pencil, Blackest Black is 99p on the site.

Ahh Tresemmé! I love their products and I'm always looking for something that makes my hair less drab and more fab (yes I did just say that) and these were perfect. On the left is the Amplifix Hairspray for £1.99 and on the right is the Sculpting Spray Gel for £1.99 also. I've not used the hairspray yet, but the gel spray gave a little oomph into my hair, so I'm happy with that!

Last in my haul is this Katy Perry Purr Perfume for £9.99. If you know me, I am fiercely loyal to my my Playboy Play It Rock perfume which is my all time fave. But I decided I wanted to try some others out! This was the first on my list, so I found it and bought it! The bottle is so cute and that is what persuaded me to get it, and when I smelled it, I liked it a lot - but it's not my Play It Rock! I've used it a few times when going out and it's been complimented at work, so I do like it! However I must have been brainwashed my Playboy as in my opinion, it is still way better than this one and £5 cheaper off Fragrance Direct!

In total this came to £30.24 without P&P charges. The original total would have been £83.31 but with the amazing prices FD does, I saved £50.07 which is incredible! Have you bought anything off the site recently and what sort of saving did you get? Hope you're having a great day and keep safe :)

Sanctuary Spa Haul | Beauty

Hello everyone!

While in Boots the other day, I noticed their 3 for 2 offer was still ongoing, so I just had to go and raid the Sanctuary Spa section! It's quite pricey compared to what I normally buy, but I love it so much that I allowed myself a little splurge.

I've loved this brand for a few years now after my Mum bought me a set for a Christmas gift. As I'm terrible at describing smells, I won't try, but it's heavenly.

First is this huge 750ml Body Wash as it's 75ml mini version. I've bought the smaller one for my holiday later in the year as it is perfect travel size. The larger one is being used at home now! It has small exfoliating beads inside which give a burst of smell and makes your skin feel extra soft. The larger one was £5.50 and the smaller was £2.50.

These are two products that I've not used from them before, but liked the look of. The Body Spray is just for a quick spritz here and then when I need it! It's quite a big bottle, so won't be able to take it everywhere with me, but if the bag is big enough, it's going in! It cost £6.50. The Body Moisture Spray was £2.50 and part of the 3 for 2 offer. I didn't know what this was, but on the back it said that if your skin is feeling dry, a spritz of this would moisturize the skin and refresh it quickly. 

Both of these were in the 3 for 2 offer, and with the moisture spray, I got the Body Lotion price taken off. It would have been £2.50. The body lotion is a nice travel size and perfect for my holiday again! Lastly is my all time fave Sanctuary product is their Hand Cream for £3. There was a larger one for £5, but I thought this was best for handbags and travelling! I use the hand cream most days, but especially after work as my hands are so dry for scanning so much cold food!

I adore this brand and their products, so will definitely be buying some more bits from them next payday! Hope you have an awesome day and keep safe :)

Small Primark Haul | Fashion & Beauty

Hello everyone!

So I found myself in Primark the other day and I picked up a few little bits while there! My sister was with me thankfully or else I'd have bought half the store. This is the least amount of things I've bought in there for quite some time! For the first time I even had a quick look at their beauty supplies and picked up a handful of things before deciding that I didn't need some of them (look at me sticking to a spending ban almost).

I've been looking for a nail buffer for ages, and this 6 way one for £1 is just perfect! I also needed a new nail file, and this pack of four, plus a case for £1 is ideal. My current file is about 8 years old and in serious need of replacing. 

Invisible socks. Not a necessity, but my last ones have holes in and this was just a cheap replacement for £1.50! 

My fave two purchases of the day are these navy blue capri leggings which I've had my eye on for weeks now. I have them in black and find them so comfortable, so for £3 I picked them up! Be still my beating heart - a Captain America jumper. If you've been with me for a while, you'll know how obsessed I am with Marvel and mainly Captain America. It was £10. I saw it, found my size and was at the till within a few seconds!

Just a teeny haul, but I love it all! The Captain America jumper will be worn a lot, even if it gets hot soon! Hope you liked this haul :) Have a great day and keep safe :)
