MAC brushes

There are a few MAC make-up brushes that I want so when I saw that Debenhams had 10% off beauty products I decided to order two brushes.

I ordered

187 Stipling Face Brush - one that I have wanted for ages.

217 Blending Brush  - I love the shape of this and it has excellent reviews.


I can't wait for them to arrive!

H&M online

I have been loving H&M's website lately. I put in an order about a month ago and then I had another look about 2 weeks ago and there was a huge sale. I managed to get some pairs of shorts for just £3.00 each.

I also got a maxi skirt for £4.00 reduced from £12.99.

These chinos were £7.00 reduced from £14.99.



I love these floral shorts as well, which I got for £6.00.



Admittedly there is a lot to dislike about the H&M website. By the time I checked out some of the things in my basket were sold out, the website kept having difficulty due to the amount of traffic and the delivery takes ages and sometimes comes in separate parcels, but you can get some good deals so if you're not in a rush then it's great.

Cosy Autumn Candles!

On my recent visit to America I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to Bath and Body Works. I bought the fragrances that I had been keen to try, buy didn't really have the space for much else.
I came across an amazing scented candle, which was Caramel Pumpkin Swirl. It was really sweet and creamy. I wish I had bought one.


This scent is new out for the autumn. I'm really excited about autumn this year so I think I'm going to invest in a few Yankee candles.
I quite fancy trying the Salted Caramel and Vanilla Cupcake scents.


I have been burning one that I was given for Christmas last year called Snowflake Cookie. It is amazing.
I only have a small jar, but I haven't used candles much at all this spring and summer.

What I got in the USA!

I've just spent a week in the USA and I spoiled myself a bit more than I usually would. I didn't buy anything outrageously expensive, just lots of little treats.
Here is what I got:

My partner surprised me with this perfume in the airport, which was a great start to the week. It is called Stars and is a limited edition fragrance by Jimmy Choo.
I love Jimmy Choo fragrances and this one is another lovely release. The bottle is the same design as the original Jimmy Choo, but is a gold colour.

Not long after we arrived in New York I got myself an EOS lip balm. I bought the orange one, which is tangerine flavoured. I wasn't too impressed and thought it had a bit of a medicated scent, but looking it up online the scent is actually called, 'Medicated Tangerine' so that explains that. I would like to try others from EOS or Evolution of Smooth.




In Macy's I got myself a new Benefit Lemon Aid primer at last and also treated myself to a bottle of Chanel No 5 Eau Premiere both of which I have lusted after in recent posts.


In Victoria's Secret I bought my first Victoria's Secret fragrance, Bombshell.


I managed to avoid fragrance in Sephora and bought 2 lipsticks by Tarte and a Sephora branded lip crayon. The picture below is not to scale.



I picked up two fragrances at Bath and Body Works; Forever Red and the famous Pink Chiffon.

This was about it for what I bought in New York, but I did get spoiled with another perfume in the airport on the way home because I'm addicted and 5 fragrances just aren't enough for one trip. My partner kindly got Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream for me.
