Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, This month there has been quite a few things that I've been loving.  My March Favourites was quite short as I'd bought some things but hadn't formed an opinion on them so I knew that meant my April Favourites could be a little bit longer.  I will link my March Favourites here if you'd like to have a read but below are all the things I have loved using this month. The first two things I've loved were received in the April My Little Box (I will put the link to my review on this here ) and these are a Vitamin Boost Face Scrub and the Mixa Restoring Body Lotion.  I've really enjoyed the face scrub.  It's for use 1-2 times a week and foams up when in contact with water.  The particles feel gentle on my skin and not scratchy or harsh like some face scrubs can be. The Mixa Restoring Body Lotion has been an absolute game-changer for me.  I suffer terribly with dry skin on my legs and they get so irritated when I shave so I was so excited to t...

Hey everyone, After missing a blog post on the February My Little Box due to being on holiday (I did do a Facebook Live unboxing which I hated so won't be revisiting them any time soon), this marks a special occasion as it's exactly a year since I started my subscription with My Little Box.  If you're new to my blogs and don't know or haven't heard of My Little Box I will link my first review here and I'll also put some links under my sign-off so you can take a look. 2017 has seen a bit of a re-vamp into the "box" side of things and I'm absolutely loving it.  I honestly don't know what to do with the boxes I have acquired as they are so pretty I can't bear to throw them away (seriously, if there are any crafty people out there reading this - is there something I could do with 10 pretty boxes??). January's "box" was a drawstring bag and it's great to have something I can actually put to use.  For March though we ha...

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...
