Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Last month I finally managed to get my hands on the new L'Oréal Pure Clay Masks.  They had been featured in the Look magazine I was reading and the fact that they were so cheap (£7.99) really appealed to me. When I bought these they were on offer at £5.00 each from Boots but they are back to their original price.  They are now stocked in Superdrug too though and are currently on offer at £5.29. There are three masks in this collection: Glow, Detox and Purity and as the names suggest, they are targeted for different things.  You can use them separately or you can use all three in one go on specific parts of your face.  I would also say that all three of these are quite highly scented.  Personally I really like that but if you're someone who prefers unscented skincare then I don't think these would be for you. Pure Clay Glow Mask (Brightens/Exfoliates) This mask was the one that appealed to me the most.  I'm like a moth to a flame with anything that says it wi

Hey everyone! I can't believe it's that time again when My Little Box arrives.  The months are just flying by so quickly.  I guess that's a good thing though as I don't feel I've been waiting what seems like forever for the postman to knock (although he was a few days later than everyone else so I did have a mild panic and think he'd lost it!).  Also dodging social media spoilers when everyone has received theirs is proving exhausting! Firstly, if you're reading this blog but don't have any idea of what My Little Box is, you can click on my July blog here which gives a little explanation about the idea behind it. For now though, I'm just going to go straight in and start talking about the September box. So, this month's box is in collaboration with French clothing brand Claudie Pierlot and YouTuber/Beauty Blogger, Freddy Cousin-Brown (Freddy My Love).  I love Freddy's videos and blogs.  She genuinely comes across as such a lovely gir

Very rarely a cosmetic product comes along and makes it into my "Beauty Holy Grail".  This is what I call any cosmetics that I love so much that I would never think of replacing or trying to find the next best thing out there.  Currently in my Beauty Holy Grail is one product (my Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation) - it's a really tough club to get into! But this year I have found two! Two products that I have found, hugged, stared at and vowed never to let them go - we will be together forever! The first is the Becca Backlight Priming Filter.  This exceeds any of my primer expectations.  This is a liquid product with a champagne/iridescent colour.  The consistency of this is just right.  It's not too thick so you can feel it on your face and not too thin that you need to apply lots of the product.  Just one (maybe even a half) pump onto the back of your hand will be enough to smooth all over your face.  I use this after my moisturiser and before foundation.  To s
