MUA - Undressed Eye Palette
This is so gorgeous I absolutely love love love it! Seriously everyone go and get one it is only £4. You get 12 stunning colours, they are so pigmented and are really soft. I have just got home and put them all on my arm so I will probably do a longer post about them when I have used them on my eyes. The colours are lovely neutrals, some are matte and some have a subtle shimmer to them. I also really like the slim black packaging.
Sleek Face Form Contouring and Blush Palette in Medium
I've got the Sleek Blush Trio in Lace and it is amazing they are my three favourite blush colours of all time and are so so soft. This face kit contains a contouring powder, highlighter and bronzer and is equally amazing. I put it on as soon as I got home and I look so sunkissed.
Bourjois Ombre a Paupieres Eyeshadow
I popped into Poundland and picked this up. I really like all of the Bourjois products I have tried so I thought I would give this a go. It is in the colour 04 which is black with a few subtle sparkles. It is a really nice black eyeshadow. Too get the best results you have to apply it with a slightly wet brush which I have never done with an eyeshadow before. I wonder if it works the same for any others?
Body Shop Sweet Lemon Lip Butter
I forgot to take my lip balm out with me so I had such dry lips and this sounded amazing. I love the Body Shop body butters; the smells are delicious and they are so moisturising so I thought a body butter but for lips sounded right up my street. It really is ever so moisturising and OMG IT SMELLS LIKE LEMONS !!!! But also maybe even better than lemons, like a lovely lemon pie or something. I just absolutely adore lemons, the flavour, the smell, the colour. It smells so fresh and fruity and the pot is so pretty and yellow and has a picture of lemons on it. It makes your lips feel so soft and look lovely and shiny. I think this was £4 which is quite alot but I would say that it is worth it becuase it is so hydrating.
Worryingly for my bank balance there is a whole range of lemon products in the body shop which the sales assistant kindly pointed out to me. I am going to have to exercise all of my will power not to get lemon scented everything!
Body Shop Perfume Oil - Madagascan Vanilla and Indian Night Jasmine
I picked up two of these perfume oils because I struggled to narrow down the choices so much. These are from the Body Shop scents of the world range which come in body sprays, lotions and eau de toilettes as well. All of them smell gorgeous but these two are my favourite. The perfume oils come in lovely cute little glass bottles and are the perfect size for carrying around in my bag. They actually seem really long lasting which I wasn't expecting but I sprayed them earlier and I can still smell them both. That's another point they smell really nice together. The Scents of the world collection was made so that scents can be layered together to create unique scents which is exciting. They are also £7 which is so good for such strong scents.
Anyway back to the scents. The Madagascan Vanilla smells sweet and you guessed it... like vanilla. It actually smells like real vanilla though which I think is unique because I have always found other products which are 'vanilla' scented smell like a very artificial vanilla. I liked the description as well, it says "Inspired by a sunny day on the tropical island of Madagascar, this warm, sensual eau de toilette from our Scents of the World fragrance collection features a blend of floral and oriental accords."
The Indian Night Jasmine is a very warm, floral, jasmine scent. Like the vanilla it is quite sweet but it also has a freshness about it. The body shop says "Inspired by a moonlit night in a Mughal garden, this seductive, feminine eau de toilette from our Scents of the World fragrance collection is a blend of floral and oriental accords." I'm not really sure what a Mughal garden is but it sounds exciting!
I also absolutely love the Japanese Cherry Blossom, it is light and fresh and definitely the summeriest, thinking about it the two that I got aren't very summery but I love them so I will wear them all year round anyway! I thought three was probably a bit excessive.
H&M Gold Sunglasses
These are just amazing, I find it so difficult to find sunglasses that I like I think I am the worlds fussiest person when it comes to sunglasses. I do have a good reason though, as my housemates pointed out, when I put glasses on it makes me look like I'm wearing one of those fake noses with glasses attached. Luckily I have good eyesight and don't have to wear glasses but sometimes the sun is so bright that I really do need sunglasses. So anyway I think what I like about these is that they are so OTT big and gold that your eyes are drawn to them and not my nose. It is really strange because I like my nose but for some reason in glasses it looks like a pretend nose. These are in the sale for £2 at H&M at the minute there are loads of them in this style and in aviators which are really nice. I thought about getting them but then I remembered that I hate sunglasses so there is no way that I will be wearing two pairs.
H&M Black Bandeau Maxi Dress
I had seen a maxi dress like this that I wanted on Asos but everytime I look it is out of stock so I was really pleased when I saw this in H&M. It is black and strapless with a bandeau top. I really like it because it's so flattering and it looks gorgeous. Because it's so long it covers everything you could possible want to cover and it's black so it's really slimming. It's so light and flowing so I hope it will be nice and cool. It was £14.99 which I think is good for a maxi dress considering you get so much material.
H&M Black Blazer
I really only got this because it was in the sale for £7 but I thought it would come in useful if I want to look smart for interviews and for teaching next year. I thought it might also be good for going out in the evenings because when the sun goes down it is still a bit nippy. I have got a black blazer but this one is more casual. I like this one because it is more like a boyfriend style and its made out of a lighter material so it still looks smart but not like I'm going to work in an office.
Nakd Bars
These were two for one in Holland and Barret's so I thought I would try them. I got Pecan Pie and Cocoa Orange. I have heard quite a bit about them because they are made from raw fruits and nuts and nice good natural ingredients like that. I've started trying to eat things that are better for me, less processed food, which I am quite enjoying because I absolutely love fruit, I didn't eat much processed food anyway before but I'm trying to make as conscious effort. I do still eat a lot of chocolate though and I can't decide if I want to give it up or not because I just like it so much. I'm hoping these will help. The Pecan Pie bar is made out of dates, pecans and almonds and that is it! It tastes so nice, really sweet and nutty and a bit maple syrupy. It is quite sticky and has chunks of pecan in it. It could definatley replace a lovely pudding. I would definitely recommend trying these, there are so many flavours as well, I think I'm going to be trying a few more. The Cocoa Orange one is made out of dates, cashews, raisins, cocoa and natural orange flavouring. I like this one because it is like a good for you terry's chocolate orange. They are both quite a soft and squidgy texture.

Meridian Peanut Butter
This is also from Holland & Barrett's. it is literally just crushed up peanuts so it is more nutritious and nutty than other peanut butters. The main reason that I like it is because it just tastes so good. It is so nutty and savoury and the texture is really different too, it's a lot thicker. Plus it contains no palm oil so it has a picture of a happy orangutan on the front. You should also try the Meridian Almond butter that's really good too! I love me some peanut butter!
