Blogs Of A Shopaholic

It’s not often that something makes me want to write a blog post immediately, right there and then, but that’s exactly what happened this morning. After about a year and a half of debating, deciding, looking at other options, reading reviews on tonnes of other products, I finally decided to order a bottle of the Younique Rose Water Toning Spritz! “Why the delay”? I hear you ask.   Well, because, I actually think the products are incredibly overpriced.   That is obviously just my own personal opinion but as a self-confessed beauty addict I like to know that I can get seriously good quality beauty products in my local high street and still get change from £5. The Younique Rose Water is £23 (excluding shipping costs which were free on the day I ordered) and I think that is a lot of money for a rose water spray.   When you consider, Glossier do a version (Soothing Face Mist) for £15 and Lancome sell their Tonique Confort Hydrating Toner for just £13 (not to me...

Hey everyone, It's nearly the end of June unbelievably! I'm not too worried that the month's are flying by though as I'm getting closer to my summer holiday so we are counting down the days here. The things I've been reaching for and loving this month are mainly more than one thing from a few brands so I'll get straight into it. The Glossier Range I picked up this range of skincare and cosmetics from New York in May.  Unfortunately it's still unavailable in the UK but the rumour is it should be available to buy online by the end of the year.  I uploaded a YouTube channel on my first thoughts on these products which I will link here if you want to have a look at everything but listed below are the things I've used literally every day since I got them... Milky Jelly Cleanser This has such a cult following over on Instagram and YouTube and for good reason.  I love it.  The texture is strange...it isn't a jelly but isn't a g...
