New buys!

Hello my lovelies! Today + yesterday I went out shopping with my friend. I didn't get too much as we were only going for a quick window shop in our local town (which is relatively small and doesn't have many shops.) I got a few things but nothing too major but I thought I would share them with you. Also, just before I start I'd like to quickly say sorry for not posting as much these last few days - I've been really occupied with revision. 

The first thing I bought was a Natural Collection eyeshadow in Sea Shell. I like to use light couloured eyeshadows as highlighter under the brow, unfortunately the one I like too use smashed into smithereens this morning but it was a present so I'm sure where I could buy another one, so I went out searching for dupe. The closet I could find was Natural Collection I Boots so obviously I hastily picked it up.

(To me personally, the picture on the website doesn't match the actual colour in person.)




Next I got two Yankee Candles in the scents Beach Flowers and Vanilla Lime. I got the Beach Flowers scent because I really liked it in the shop and thought it would be really nice to try out, and I bought the Vanilla Lime scent a!s it was it was recommended to me by a friend (she also wrote a detailed blog post about it:http://zuzannasblogandstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/vanilla-lime-yankee-candle.htm). I really like the smell of both of these and I'm desperate to go back and buy another in Midnight Jasmine - which I think May even be my all-time favourite.

Then I bought this lovely Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 16. I basically just bought this because I've been looking at it for a little while as I really like the colour, and I also really want to purchase more lipsticks to widen my collection of different shades. Right now, I'm trying to get a chance to go into TopShop to look at the shades they have there, but I don't have one very near me. If you can recommend any other lipsticks please do!

The picture of it on my lips is really bad (sorry). I was applying it in a rush, and my face was wet. Also, in the picture is the only product I am wearing - so no gloss or balm. I've tried to capture the colour, but my photography hasn't really done it justice.



The last thing I purchased is a new flower crown as I unfortunately lost mine! I really my new one though, and I've already worn it! I love buying hair accessories like this because they're so easy to wear and go with so many different summer outfits. I find them an essential!
I've tried to find the link to this exact one on the site, but I just can't find it! However, there are other flower accessories and alternate flower crowns if you're interested.



I also then just picked up a few Extra strawberry gum as they were on sale for something ridiculous like 10p per packet of 10. Not my usual choice of flavour but for 10p for each pack I haven't really got anything to lose, plus, having chewing gum handy is pretty important! Now thinking back I think I went over board considering I didn't even know if I liked the gum or not. ( I now know I do, although it makes me quite thirsty?!)
You can pick these up almost anywhere! I personally got these in SuperDrug.


There will most likely be a series of review coming up in the near future, possibly further details on some of the Body Shop items and on other new buys. If you have any requests comment down below (doesn't have to be beauty related although the majority of my posts are.) 
Love,
Poppy
