Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone,  As you all know by now, I LOVE the Tanya Burr cosmetics range but haven't had a chance to try too many of her products.  I bought two bargain lipsticks in Superdrug in the Spring/Summer (if you fancy giving the range a try it's worth checking for a sale as they do mark things down and my favourite pink lipstick - Central Park - was knocked down to a bargain £1.75!)I thought at the time it would be because they were being discontinued but that shade is still sold to my knowledge, so bargain hunters amongst us, keep your eyes peeled. I'm also not a huge fan of "gift sets", especially at Christmas time. Sceptical I know, but I think they just make me think of the lip palettes I used to get when I was about 12 (which I loved by the way), but now wouldn't really cut the mustard if you know what I mean. On first impressions though, the packaging of this gift set is just stunning.  The artistry on the unusual octagonal box is a sparkly, wintery s...

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 ...

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...
