Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the summer holidays! I know the weather has been awful here which is just typical when the kids are off school but we've been lucky enough to spend ten days away at my mum and dad's apartment in Spain which has been bliss. If you've followed my blogs from the beginning you'll know I have a bit of an issue when it comes to packing my make up and beauty products and I put a blog post up last year (I will link it here ) where I tried desperately to stream-line the things I take.  I think I was successful in that my make up bag didn't weigh 2kgs but I still took far too much stuff with me. This year I tried even harder and did really well with all the products until I got to the lipsticks and glosses.  I start off being really good and only putting a few in and then the night before I panic and grab loads "just in case".  I thought I would do a "What's In My ...

So that's it...another year is over.  I really can't believe I'm writing dates on my new 2017 calendar and getting ready for a brand new year packed full of exciting things.  2016 will always hold some really special memories for me.  It was the year I turned 40 and had the most fantastic birthday party with my amazing family and friends.  We went on a holiday that we would never have usually booked but got to see some places that I've always wanted to visit.  I watched my best friend get married in the most beautiful wedding ceremony and I also decided to start my blog! I'm so happy I took the decision to do this, it's been a lot of fun writing about things that I love and sharing my opinions with you all.  It's definitely helped me gain some confidence to enable me to do other things I would like to do this year, and my planning has started on some exciting new things!  My last two blogs to round off 2016 are goin...

October has literally just flashed past before my eyes!  I have been so busy and have fallen a little behind in terms of blog posts which I'm determined to put right as of now.  So let's get straight into the things I've been reaching for over the last 31 days...... Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer This has been the biggest surprise for me out of all the products I'm about to list.  I really dislike the feel of silicone based primers on my skin.  I'm not sure what it is, whether its because I feel they don't sink in or they feel quite slippy when I apply them but this is so different.  Think Benefit's Porefessional mixed with your favourite skin illuminator and that's the consistency. I pop this on after my moisturiser and before foundation and I love how it makes my skin feel nourished and prepped. Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream This is a repurchase of mine as it's my favourite everyday go-to face produc...
