Half term is always a good time to meet up with people so once again, me and Kate decided to go to Guildford to get some time away from working and the stress of A levels on Friday.
I'd been saving up for this trip for quite a while so I actually got to buy some stuff which I'm happy about!
 |
| Essie's Chinchilly, Rimmel stay matte pressed powder in Silky Beige, Maybelline Baby Skin, MUA lipstick in Shade 6, Sleek blusher in Suede. |
A lot of this has been on my make up wish list for a while so I was really happy to get it all! Ever since I bought Essie's Bahama Mama, I regretted not picking up the duo pack with Chinchilly too as they looked so perfect together. I'm so happy I now have both now!
Everyone raves about the powder and blusher I picked up and they both seem really nice so far! The blusher is quite subtle so I'll have to see what I can do with it - I'll do a proper review once I've used it a bit properly!
After buying a MUA lipstick (shade 10 I think...) a while back, I decided to pick up another as it was only £1 and this was the last one left of Shade 6 with the plastic wrapping still on! Its such a pretty pink and I love it so much! The quality of these lipsticks is really good for the price!
I'm probably going to end up taking Baby Skin back as I tried it on my face when I got home and it made my face go really red and basically did nothing to my make up! As it was £7.99, I'm going to try and get a refund from Boots on Monday when I go back to college so I can use the money somewhere else!
I was so happy to finally pick up The Rosie Project, I've been wanting it for ages! I've read the first few chapters (maybe the first 10...) and I'm loving it so far, it's really entertaining and very hard to put down! I can't wait to do a full review! I also picked up Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell as I've heard that it's really good!
Being true to the traditions of Guildford, I also picked up some sweet treats from the American sweet shop but most of them were meant for my whole family and aren't in the picture. I did figure out that popcorn and candy corn are an amazing combination though!
Me and Kate had such a great day catching up and visiting old shop favourites, it was a great way to take a break from doing my work!

I love it, it's such a pretty pink! xxx
DeleteSounds like you had a great day! I love the Rimmel powder, best powder I've ever had xx
ReplyDeleteI did thank you! I've heard that a lot, can't wait to try it! xx
DeleteThanks for a fab day, cute post too! I think I'm going to have to pick up a Rimmel powder, you've persuaded me. And I find that the blush is really pigmented, but maybe I'm slapping a lot onto my face? xxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you too!! It is! Just blow on your brush before applying, it'll remove excess - then you can build up the colour better! xxxx
DeleteThe same thing happened to me with the baby skin- red and blotchy, I'd put it down to the fact I have incredibly sensitive skin but who knows what they put in some products. Glad you had a nice day, much deserved with all the alevel work!!

It's so annoying! I know, it's a bit odd - I've never had a reaction to anything before either! Thank you! xx
