Recent Purchases: 11.05.12

Friday 11 May 2012

I'm in the process of saving up money so I've been limiting myself to extravagant purchases and opting to stay in rather than 'going out'. But I've been stocking up on a few things the past week that I've had my eye on or needed. So that I thought I might share it with you lovely readers.


001. Caudalie Beauty Elixir (£28.80): I'm a sucker for buying into a hype! I've been seeing this making the rounds of the bloggersphere so I made an impulse buy. I've heard really good things about it and I'm currently giving this a really good test run, so keep a look out for a review!

002. Lee Stafford- Hair Treatment for hair that won't grow past a certain length (£7.99): Once my hair grows to a certain length, it decides to suddenly grow 'out the way' leaving me with this thick mass of unmanageable hair. I'm going to be doing a 'no heat month' soon to improve the quality of my hair plus I would like it to grow longer for my cousin's wedding in July so I can do something fun with it!

003. Essie Nail Polish- Buy me a Cameo (£7.99): I got far too excited when I found out that Boots was stocking Essie Nail Polishes! I hopped, skipped and jumped my way down to my local Boots to peruse the selection. I decided to go for 'Buy me a Cameo' as I don't really have a colour like this in my collection. Can't wait to wear it once the cut on my thumb heals up (tmi)!

004. Bourjois Pot Blush- 34 Rose D'or (OFFER: £5.49): Been needing a new blush as I've been wearing Benefit's Dallas for the past 6 months or so. This is the first Bourjois blush I've owned and I'm intending to use it as a go between before investing some of my hard earned cash in Benefit's Hervana or NARS Penny Lane (Help me decide!!)

So that's it! Fairly modest attempt I think! What have you been buying lately? Anything I should be investing in?

    1. The ratio of product to the recommended usage doesn't match up I don't think ;) Probably a ruse to keep us buying it! Can't wait to start using it!

  2. I've had several tubs of the Lee Stafford hair treatment and I loved it! Made my hair feel so healthy. Also, I had a no-heat month once and it almost became a habit, I only use my dryer/straightner etc if I feel I really need to! I think Aussie's miracle hair insurance leave in spray is perfect to use when your letting your hair dry by itself to, keeps my frizziness at bay + my hair feels very soft :) I love the new essie polishes too!

    1. I really hope i'll abide to the 'no heat' rule! Basically almost always glued to my straighteners, but hopefully my hair will thank me for it later! Thanks for the recommendations! Will have to try the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance soon! :)

  3. ooo, i've heard the lee stafford treatment is really good!
    unfortunately, i don't think any stores carry that brand in the united states though :(
    i just stick to a hot olive+castor oil treatment once a week to keep my hair lovely!

  5. I really wanna hear more opinions about Caudalie Beauty Elixir, since there's such a hype about it & everyone's raving & I really wanna give into it. Btw, what's the yellowish line on the bottle?
    I loved the blog & I really wanna read the review of the Beauty Elixir, so I followed you. :)
    Take care,
    xoxo

    1. I was worried about the yellowish line at first because my postman left it out by the gate whilst it was raining so I thought it might have damaged it but I've seen other people's pictures and it just seems like a natural split from the ingredients inside. One quick shake of it gets it ready for use :)

      Thanks for following lovely! Review should be up soon :)
