What I've Been Loving Lately

The first product I've been loving was featured in a recent blog post of mine. It's the body shops peppermint smoothing pumice foot scrub. This stuff is amazing! I've been trying to break in a new pair of shoes recently and my feet have been so sore. I felt like they needed a treat and this definitely did the job! 

The smell is so fresh and minty and the product really does exfoliate your feet :)

One thing I really liked about this product was that it seemed to lather for me which I've never had from a scrub before. 

The second product I've been loving also featured in a recent blog post of mine. It's the ArtDeco Dita Con Teese blush in shade 20. I've been wearing the blush nearly religiously since I've got it. It's such a lovely everyday shade, really natural and really subtle. 

The third thing I've been loving are my new boots :) These adorable boots are not the most comfortable yet (still trying to break them in) but boy are they pretty!

Last but not least are these heels which i actually only bought yesterday but I felt I had to mention them. I got these in penneys for 18€ each. They are just superb value for money! They have a chunky heel and are actually pretty comfy to wear (although I haven't worn them out properly yet). These were such a bargain and I love the coral coloured ones! :)

Weekend Shopping Haul

Over the weekend I decided to treat myself to a few goodies. I had a list of things I wanted but ended up getting nothing on my list and instead I bought a lot of stuff which I had no intentions of buying, does this ever happen to you ? 

First up is Artdecos Dita Von Teese collection. I came across it in Debenhams and it was all half price so I couldn't resist picking up a few bits. I've already done a review raving about one of their blushes so when I saw that they were half price (€5.50) I picked up two more of them. 

Both of the blushes I picked up were matte, one was a nice pale pink (shade 20) and the other a darker pink (shade 31). The textures of the blushes are so smooth and finely milled that they nearly feel creamy to touch. 

The final thing from the collection I picked up is the candlelight powder which was reduced to €15.00. Similar to the blushes the powder is also very finely milled. It has light reflecting particles in it so it gives a lovely glow to the skin. I will do a proper review as soon as I've given it a good testing. 

I also went to penneys and picked up a few of their frilly socks. These are so adorable and really cheap! A three pack of ankle socks was €3.50 and a normal sized two pack was €3.00. 

I also picked up this lovely dream catcher necklace in Claire's accessories. This was only €5.99 and it also comes in gold. 

These are the only two products I had on my list, something new from lush and something new from the body shop. From lush I decided to pick up their dry shampoo No Drought. I'm a huge fan of dry shampoo but I find that the aerosols irritate my scalp so I decided to give this one a go. It was €4.95 and as with all lush products this too is made from all natural ingredients. 

From the body shop I picked up a sample size of their peppermint smoothing pumice foot scrub. It was €2.00 so I figured I would give it a try. The smell is so fresh and as you would assume it also smells like pepper mint :) 

Finally I went to the Yankee candle store and decided to pick up this adorable glass bucket type holder for sample sized candles. I think this size of candle is great for trying a few scents before you decide on which big jar to buy. The sample sizes are €2.50 and the glass holder was €2.95.
