Hey everyone!
 
Today's post is going to be my March Favourites. This is my first time doing a month's favourites post and i'm looking forward to carrying this on in the future months.
 
So let's get started!
 
 
Aveeno Cream - I have this on my prescription from the doctors as she prescried it to me when i told her i keep getting dry/flaky patches on my face/skin. Well i love this! it clears all of my patches, i have been using it constantly and sometimes i leave it in my bag incase i need to use it that day.
 
Soap & Glory Hand Food - This is literally one of the best smelling hand creams i have ever had before, it also leaves my hands feeling really soft. I would definitley recommened you to buy this, i would just buy it for the scent haha
 
Tangle Teezer - I have really long hair and it does get quite knotty/tangled throughout the day if i have it in a ponytail/down and after i have washed it and i thought i would try this. Usually after washing my hair i use a wide tooth comb first and then i use a normal comb but it still doesn't get every single knott out, but when i use this it gets them all out and it takes less amount of time! I'm even going to buy another one for me to use on dry hair.
 
 
FashionistA 4 Blusher Palette - I have already just recentley bought this but i am loving it already! I bought the colours Bronze, Gold Rush, Radient & Earth Star. These are really pigmented and i'm thinking i may have to go back and buy another palette!
 
The Body Shop Wild Rose Hand Cream - This smells lovely! I got this for free as i signed up for the £5 membership, and i chose it because it is pink :P
 
MAC Mineralize Blush in Love Thing - I love this colour and i use it quite regularly, it is rarther pigmented so i have to be careful when applying it to make sure i don't apply to much.
 
 
Palmers Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter - Again another product that smells  amazing! It literally smells like after 8 mints, gorgeous! You can see my full review on this here - http://shimmerlashes-x.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/palmers-lip-butter.html
 
MAC Mineralize Blush in Love Joy - Again another blush that i love and i do use this more than the MAC Love Thing. It is more of a bronzey/goldy/shimmer colour and as i love my browns/natural colours i tend to use this more.
 
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium - I have seen many reviews on this and decided i would try it out for myself and so far it is good!
 
Maybelline Falsies Mascara - I have used this for a while now and in the past and i really do love it, as i have long lashes it helps me create a more fuller look and spreads them out.
 
Rimmer Kate Lipstick in shade 107 - I love the colour of this! To be honest when i first bought this i knew i loved the colour but then i had second thoughts on if it would look to much once i had applied it and doubted "shall i wear this today or not" and always went on the not option, but then i found a top which was the exactly same colour as the lipstick so for that day i wore it and ever since that day i have been wearing it, i would definitely go out and buy this again.
 
And thats it until next month!
 
What are your March favourites?

So today's post is going to be on my lip balm collection!
 
On my twitter i have mentioned that i am kind of addicted to lip balms and that i'm always buying them, so i decided to do a post on my collection.
 
Let's start!
 
 
Here are my lip butters/balms from The Body Shop.
Top L-R: Grapefruit Lip Butter, Chocomania Lip Butter, Strawberry Lip Balm
Bottom L-R: Mango Peach Lip Balm, Watermelon Lip Balm, Satsuma Shimmer Lip Balm.
 
 
Nivea Hydro Care, Palmers Coco Butter, Then below are 3 random lip balms which i got for my birthday from my friends mum.
 

 
H&M Shimmer Lip Balm, The Little Pink Tin SPF 15, Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner, Strawberry Balmi
 
 
I Love Raspberry & Blackberry Lip Balm, I Love Strawberries & Milkshake Lip Blam, Chocolate and Orange Lip Balm, Stawberry Carmex Lip Balm, Palmers Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter
 
 
x2 Vaseline Aloe Vera, x2 Vaseline Origional, x2 Vaseline Cocoa Butter.
I have 2 of each because i was bought a set for christmas which came in a pink love heart tin and then i had already got 1 of each throughout last year.
 
 
x4 Lip Balm's from Poundland (these work really well!) and Blistex Relief Cream

Today i went into town to visit the new Trinity Leeds.
 
Well to be honest, i didn't think it was as good as everyone is making it out to be. Yeah some of the shops were really nice, like River Island, H&M, Internationale, Topshop etc. But then they were just random shops which had literally nothing in them. Another thing, it's basically outdoor! I thought it was suppose to be indoor and looked indoor on the photos but it only has a glass roof, all of the entrances are opened and lead to other parts of town. So today as it had been snowing and really windy it was FREEZING walking around.
 
Anyways here are the items i purchased today!
 
 

 
I got all of this for £10! I love this! I chose bronze/goldy eyeshadows and i'm thinking of buying some blushers/bronzers in my next palette!
Here are the swatches of these:
 
 
Such lovely colours! can't wait to try these out :)
 
You can buy these from FashionistA which is avaliable in Superdrug.
 
 
This Jergens Skin Firming product was on offer for half price in Superdrug so i thought i would buy it and see if it really does tone and tightens. I will be trying this out on my legs.
 
 
I bought a 4 pack bracelet set from Primark for £2, a gold ear cuff form River Island which was £2 in the sale and a headband from Primark.
 
 
I bought the MUA Undress Me Too palette from Superdug for £3. I love my natural/bronze/gold colours, i wear them constantly so i decided to buy this aswell as my FashionistA palette.
 
 
I also bought an MUA eyebrow pencil in dark/brunette from Superdrug for £1 and i bought a Natural Collection Clear Mascara from Boots for £1.99
 
 
I bought this Wild Rose Hand Cream from The Body Shop. I had seen reviews on this and have been wanting this for a while now. Anyways i went into the shop to browse and found this near the tills and i remembered that the "happy bunny" offer was still valid. If you don't know what this is, all you have to do is when you are at the till say HAPPY BUNNY and you will recieve £3 off, but hurry this is only vaild until 31st March! anyways the woman on the till said that this was free if i signed up for a membership card which was £5.00 so i decided to do that! It sounds really good does the membership card so if you are not signed up just click below for the details on what it offers!
 
http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/loyalty/love-your-body/index.aspx
 
 
I bought the Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream from Boots. I love the smell of this!
 
 
Barry M Glitter Nail Polish from Superdrug
 
 
 
MUA's Undress Your Skin Highlighter. I have never used a highlighter before so i don't really know where i apply it, but i thought i would buy it and try.
 
 
Superdrugs own face masks! There was an offer for 4 for 3 so i decided to get 4. These are only 99p! what a bargin. I have tried the White chocolate mousse mask before and loved it so i decided to repurchase that one and then i also bought an Apricot Exfoliating Mask, Calming Floral Mud Mask and a Summer Fruits Exfoliating Mask.
 
 
Flip Flops for my holiday!
 
 
A cute little bow belt from Primark
 
 
A bikini from Primark, even though i hate my body, i'm not skinny and i have horrible stretch marks is still got this as it was cute.
 
 
Lovely dress from Primark. I love the colours! Plus it was only £10!
 
 
Jeggings from Internationale
 
and finally!
 
 
A gorgeous bag from River Island which was £25 in the sale, reduced from £50! i think i'm actually in love with this bag!
 
Oh and i also bought 2 mini containers to use when i open my face masks as i don't use the whole packet so instead of wasting it, i put them in these containers, and then i bought 2 pairs of pyjama bottoms but one was damaged and then the other was the wrong size as it was on the wrong hanger so i'll be taking them back this weekend!
 
And that's it! I'm suppose to be saving my money, but i just can't help myself, i'm also going shopping again in the easter holidays! Ooops...

So a few months i saw quite alot of posts on these Revlon Lip Butters and saw some good reviews so i decided that i would try it out too.
 
I bought the "Sugar Frosting" one from Superdrug. As it was my first one i didn't want to get one that would be too bright on my lips so i decided to get this one as it looked a pale pinkish colour with shimmer.
 
My thoughts:
 
Well i don't dislike the product but i don't absolutely love it.
 
What i like about this product:
 
- The packaging
- My lips feel moisturised once applied
- The shimmer
 
What i dislike about the product:
 
- Not pigmented at all, it's mainly shimmery. You only get a slight pinky colour when applied over and over again
- The packaging colour makes it out to be that colour.
 
 
With flash
 
Without flash
 
I only tend to wear this on the days i'm not wearing make up and i use it as a form of lip balm.
I am willing to try out another colour to see if they are more pigmented if so then that will be great!

I just wanted to make this post so i can share with you my good news that i'm finally getting a chance to go to FLORIDA! :D
 
Ever since i was little i have always wanted to do florida just for the fact that i wanted to visit Disneyland and the rest of the parks, but my parents aren't into that type of holiday and said that we would only go if we won the lottery (like that's ever going to happen) haha! but anyways one of my friends was thinking about going with her family this year and we had previously talked together and i mentioned that i have always wanted to go and then...they invited me to come along aswell! Of course after speaking with my parents and that i'm 18 they said i could go! i was so happy :D
 
We are staying in "Turtle Villa"
 
Here are some photos of this villa:
 
 
 
There are more photos on the website, but it looks so nice and homely :D
 
We are going to be visiting disneyland, the waterparks and seaworld, not sure about the other parks yet but i'm so excited!
 
I will be taking LOTS and LOTS of photos and i will be posting osme on here.
 
Bring on July!

So you may look at this and think "that's not real" well that it because it isn't haha. I was on holiday in Turkey a few years ago and my mum and dad bought went to a shop one day and bought me this purse and a Vivienne Westwood bag as an early birthday present for me. They were expensive but i would say very cheap for Vivienne Westwood haha so most likely they will be fake, but i don't care i really like them and no one will know unless i tell them or they are good at telling what things are fake or not haha.
 
Anyways, this is one of my favourite purses as there is loads of room in it to hold money, cards and little extra bits.
 
Here are a few photos of what it is like inside:
 
 
This purse has 2 sections and above is the first section. In this section it has 5 card holders, a zip part to hold loose change and then it has 5 extra slots (can't really tell that much on the photo)
 
Second Section:
 

 
This again has 5 card holder slots and then it has 4 extra slots.
 
In the slots i keep my notes if i have any/taken any out of the bank, and i also keep any vouchers, buisness cards, bus passes, my dennis williams/salon services temporary cards, a print out of the places which allow my NUS discount, shopping lists if i have any and then just little pieces of papers with notes on eg. passwords for my log in at work.
 
As you can see this purse holds a lot which is great so i don't even care if it isn't real haha
 
It is also such a lovely baby pink colour to match bag.

When i first started out my blog i made a mini post on these but i decided i wanted to make a full review.

Here's my little story about these:

So, i had been wanting these for a while but the full size versions. Then as i work in BANK at a shopping centre i have to sometimes get the bus when my dad is working shifts and i have to make my way through Debenhams to get to the bus. The weekend where i had to get a bus each time i went into debenhams i saw these little beauties on a stand, but as i was in a rush i wasn't able to buy them. Then the next day when i went buy i quickly glanced at them and saw the price. £19.50 i decided i wouldn't bother getting them. Then as it had been my birthday/christmas i had money and decided that when i go shopping the week after i would buy them. It came to the day of shopping, i walked into debenhams and guess what, they had gone out of stock! great. That always happens to me, i see something i want but don't get it that day then when i go back, it's not there. So now when i see something i have to buy it.

Anyways, When i got home i asked my mum if i could order it online on her card and then give her the money back, so i went on the benefit website and there it was but it was reduced to £13.00! so i set up an account and got ready to order it, to realise they had gone out of stock. I emailed benefit to asked them if they would be re stocking items online and they said that these High Flyin' Glosses were still avaliable and that it was only the US site that they were out of stock on. So i double checked that i was on the UK site which i was and then i refreshed the page throughout the day and still they were out of stock so i decided to email them again and leave it until the next day.

The next i checked it was still out of stock! i was getting annoyed by now as i had an email saying that they were still instock and then i refreshed the page and they were avaliable! I quickly typed out my details and ordered them. The order was successful, i was so pleased i finally managed to get my hands on them. As soon as i had ordered them i went onto the sale page to look at other products and it was out of stock, so i was thinking that they must have been really popular to go out of stock that quickly.

Anyways they arrived about a week later, i was so happy.

When i first opened them i was glad i purchased them for £13.00 as personally i don't think they are worth £19.50 as they are really mini.


Packaging:

 
The packaging of these are so cute and girly! and i love the individual tubes aswell. I also like how they are the same name to match their blushers/bronzers.
 
These are so cute, i love how they are mini, so they are great for you to carry around in your handbag/makeup bag.
 
The lip glosses:
 
 
Top Row:
1: Coralista 
2: Dallas 
3: Sugarbomb
 
Bottom Row:
1: Dandelion
2: Hoola
3: Bella Bamba
 
I love the shades. They are all sheer expect from Dallas which is the most opaque. Then Hoola, Sugarbomb and Dandelion have abit of shimmer added.  
 
The shades are are quite natural expect Bella Bamba which is more pinky but it's not as bright as i thoght it would be which is good! So you could wear these shades during the day for a natural look.
 
If i could change them, i would like them to be abit more opaque and not so sheer.
