Haul Mac, Illamasqua, eBay...

I hope you are having a good week so far? 

I did a few what I call "mini hauls" which are from one shop where I only bought a few things at the start of summer. I didn't have much time the past few months and my posting was few and far between and posts like these helped me to post something without taking too much time :) 

Today I have another mini haul but with a few shops I bought from. 
I love Haul posts and usually end up with a shopping list by the end of reading/watching a few :)

I won't go into detail on here because I plan to review a few of the items soon.

My first picture is my order from Illamasqua 


I chose two cream blushes, pink raindrops and aurora gleam. I have high hopes for these beauties! 

Superdrug


Rimmel Salon Pro x 2 and Kate x1
Plus revlon Nail art duos. 

eBay

This Multi-colour skull bracelet was only 99p with free delivery!! 

eBay

99p - cheap and very cute! 

Bank

£10 in the sale - this is a loose fit long vest and I wish I got the size down because it really is loose fit. The peace sign is two tone and looks gorgeous when the light hits it. 


Bank skull prong socks £3 I think. Love these! 

Next
Makeup Bag £7. I bought this to keep all of my samples sachets in. 

Ebay

I bought these from ebay too. Sadly one was missing the drop crystal. They were 99p and the seller refunded me. I plan to remove the drop crystal from the other and wear them like that rather than bin them. 

Mac

NW20 Studio Fix Fluid and a Small Fix + Fluid. Sadly the foundation wasn't like it was when I used to use it a couple of years ago so I ended up selling it. 

That's my lot for today :) I'm off to do some decorating now, boo!!  Have a great day.

Soap and Glory - The Scrub of your Life Review

Hey Beauties

I hope you are well? 
 
I have a review for you today.

In March I was browsing in boots, hoping to find a body scrub product perfect for getting my skin ready for Summer. 
I looked through the various products from Soap and Glory and decided to give The Scrub of your Life a go. 
It's a pink tube with a flip lid, that you squeeze to get the product out. I prefer products in packaging like this because I find it very difficult to unscrew a lid on a pot or bottle when I'm in the shower with wet hands! I usually end up dropping it once its undone and losing some of the product or dropping it a few times trying to undo it and giving up!
Tubes work much better and I also find you don't waste product. 
 




 
It's like a paste with pink beads in to scrub away the dead skin, leaving you with smooth, glowing skin. It also claims to be very good for dry knees and elbows and I have to say, i have noticed an improvement with my elbows (I get dry skin and a rash from some washing powders, change in seasons etc... Which, is always worse in the Summer). Touch wood but so far since using this I haven't had my usual flare up. 
It also has that lovely slightly similar scent to Coco Mademoiselle perfume making it a perfect product for me. 
I use this 2/3 times a week if I fake tan or 1/2 normally. 
It costs £7 for 200ml in Boots but is always on a 3 for 2 deal :) 

Do you use Soap and Glory products?
