My recent beauty buys...


I've been lucky enough to get some money from my relatives this Christmas so I took to the shops on Boxing Day only to find that pretty much everything I wanted in the sales wasn't there :( so I decided to treat myself with some beauty buys that I'd heard good things about and I finally picked up The Porefessional which has been on my beauty wishlist.

Here is a little run through of the items I bought:

Benefit - The Porefessional - minimises the appearance of pores & fine lines for smooth skin. I'm going to try wearing it underneath my make up to help it stay put.

Soap & Glory Hot Cloth Cleanser - I've heard a lot about hot cloth cleansers so I've finally bought one myself to try. This Soap & Glory one was on offer at boots for £8. I'll be trying it this weekend

Soap & Glory No Clogs Allowed Face Mask - A face mask which turns blue when you use it! How awesome! It also heats up when you put it on for a deep cleanse and comes with a pretty pink sponge.

No7 Tinted Moisturiser in Fair - This is one of my regular beauty buys. I like to use this as a primer before I put on my foundation. I find that it's a really good base and helps my make up stay on longer even though its not what it's designed for I find that it works really well.

V05 Mirace Concentrate - Elixir with Argan Oil - I was going to buy the Lee Stafford equivalent of this but after hearing that this little beauty does exactly the same thing and is half the price I decided to give it a go. Hopefully it will make my hair really soft and silky.

Model's Own Nail Varnish - These were on offer in Boots 2 for £8 so I decided to get colours that would remind me of spring time as I have been wearing dark colours like purples and blacks over the Christmas period. I bought Sophie's Pink and Pastel Pink. The Pastel Pink shade has been on my beauty wishlist.

I'll be doing some posts on these over the next few days/weeks to review the products so keep an eye out!

Have you bought any new beauty products recently? Have you tried any of these? What did you think?
