Budget Beauty Buys - Under £5

Hello everyone,

Lately I have been finding some gems at the moment that are under £5, I thought since I talk about high end products quite a lot that I would take into consideration people who are on a budget, so I have gathered together 2 body, skin care and makeup items which are all £5 and under.

Body -

For my body section I have recently fallen in love with Radox shower gel's this is the Coconut kiss Shower gel and it smells amazing, this lathers up really well and it only costs 99p at the moment from boots when it's only £1.99 originally. 

Also from Nspa this is their clementine Body mist, this smells amazing and really fruity without being over powering. This is the mini size that I got in a gift set, this brand is sold at Asda and only costs £3 or they have a deal across their products which is 2 for £4. 

Skin Care -

Now this product sparked off this blog post idea, and it's the Skin Therapy Normal and Combination skin day moisturiser, I tried this a few weeks ago and it feels amazing, I applied a little bit to my fingers and rubbed this in and my skin felt so soft and moisturised, but it helped with my combination skin without being too drying or too moisturising. This only costs 95p from Wilkinsons!

I have found a eye roll on from PRO formula, this is the tired eyes roll on, this is very soothing for the morning because of the metal tip roll on. This helps you look more awake or even your eyes looking brighter, this is a great everyday day eye roll on especially for younger years, who want to use a eye cream but not targeted for anti ageing, wrinkles or smoothing out. This is is £3 from Tesco.

Makeup -

When I was starting off with makeup I went starlight to Natural Collection, because they done a lot of products but they were so cheap. I am mentioning the Cream blush in the colour Rosy pink, this gives you a lovely coral natural flush to the cheeks, but I would recommend using a powder/powder blush to set it considering it's quite a wet one. This is £1.99 from Boots.

I have saved the best till last, this is the NYX Butter gloss in the colour Creme Brulée, this is one of the best natural lip glosses I have found, this looks so pretty and goes well with every makeup look, but this feels amazing on your lips like a lip balm, this is only £5 from the NYX website.

I hope you have found this interesting or helpful. Comment below if you have found any beauty budget buys for £5 and under?

The Winter Tag & A Winter Bath

Hello everyone,

I have Blogmas day 5 for you! This is going to be The Winter Tag and I am going to show you my favouirte winter bath. I am sorry it's another tag but from here on wards I am going to have more exciting posts.

The Winter Tag - 

- Top two winter beauty essentials?

My first one is the Palmers Coco Butter, this is my favourite for every season, the sun tot he freezing cold; this is great for chapped hands or even dry parts on your face and body. Then my second one is the Palmers Coco Butter Original Lip balm. Palmers is my favouirte thing every, and the lip balm is very moisturising and hydrating

- Top two winter fashion essentials?

This was very easy, to start off with my Primark/Lipsy coat, this is very warm and looks very put together and lovely with every outfit. Then my black heeled Chelsea boots.

- What shoes do you tend to wear during the winter?

Umm.. This has to be Chelsea boots, especially black boots.

- Favourite winter accessory?

My favourite winter accessory is my Ted Baker bag, this is the perfect size without being too big. It looks great with my coats and shoes.

- Favourite winter nail polish?

I don't wear nail polish, but I love berry reds.

- Hot chocolate or Apple cider?

Hot chocolate by far!

- Favourite winter candle?

Christmas Eve by Yankee Candle

- Snowboarding or skiing?

I have never done either of them, I would love to try them.

- Have you ever gone ice skating? How did you get on?

I have never done ice skating either, but in my local shopping center we have a ice rink, so i'll have to give it a go.

- Does it snow where you live?

It has done, now and then. But it's never 100% for sure, it didn't even snow last year. But when it does its in the early new year.

- Have you ever made a snowman?

I have attempted to, but it's never going to look like the perfect ones you seen on Google/adverts.

- What holiday do you celebrate?

I celebrate all of them, just not in a religious way.

- Favourite Christmas song?

WOW... their are too many. But I love The Pouges, Fairy tale of New York.

- Favourite Christmas film?

I like Elf, but I love The Snowman!

- What is your favouirte winter treat?

Cookies, I am going to talk about them in my Christmas Baking post coming soon.

- If you were to ask "Santa" for one gift, and you were guaranteed to get it, what would you ask for?

Well, being able to get good grades to get into University. Or a Newfoundland, because I miss Charlie too much and would love a puppy.

- Do you have anything fun planned this winter?

Well, my birthday gathering, my birthday, Christmas, Boxing day and New years seeing the London fireworks.

My Winter bath -

Last night I used this Lush bath bomb, called Golden Wonder. It looks so cute but ends up turning you bath blue, which isn't very Christmas orientated. (Link, this costs £3.75)

When I was in the bath last night, I used the Lush Snow Fairy Show gel, this is very sweet, but I love it. Also the colour is very nice and it smells like a sweet Christmas treat. (Link, this costs £3.75 for 100g)

I tag everyone to do this, and to tell me what your winter bath consist of?

Haul// Lush, New Look & More

Hello everyone,

I have a haul for you today, this is everything I brought last week on my half term break. I done all of this damage through out the whole week, but I also have more things but their everything I want to feature during Blogmas next month. I have a range of shops from Lush to Next.

First of all from The Body Shop, I realised that on their website that they have their Christmas scents back out again, I was hoping for something I would love, then I found out it was Glazes Apple! I freaked out because I love the smell of apple, it doesn't smell to Christmas like which is good in some aspects. But I brought the Glazed Apple Hand Cream (£3.50), Glazed Apple Lip Balm (£4.00) and lastly the Glazed Apple Shower Gel (£4.00). I would reccomend this scent it your a big fan of apples like I am, also they do a lot of different products this year like bath crystals. (Check the line out here)

In New Look, I have seen this scarf for the longest time, but just never brought it. Then I walked in their with the money in hand and decided it was time! I love the checker pattern against a black coat, also the length it perfect as well as the thickness. This was £14.99, and it's very versatile with the reversible pattern. (Link)

In the New Look sale, they have either really good things or rubbish. I only have one case for my phone, so I needed more. I found these two with a bunch of other for only £2/£3. They are very bright and I think their so cute, I can't find them on the website now.

 I never go into Next because for me their clothes aren't my style. But my mum was in their so I looked at the accessories/Christmas things and came across this clutch! I have had my eye on one of the Alphabet Bags clutch with the writing on them, they are a real statement. This was only £12 and could either be used as a clutch or even a makeup/tablet bag.(Link)

My name is Shelby, and I am addicted to Lush! I was in their more or less every day last week and now one of the women know me! I have accumulated quite a lot, i'm not going to lie. But I hate seeing my Lush glass looking empty, it looks so much nicer bursting with scents and colours. Starting from the top left and going along, I have Lord Of Misrule bath bomb, Snow Fairy shower gel, The Melting Snow Man bath melt, Ceridwen's Cauldron Bath melt, Christmas Eve Bubble Bar (I had to because of my birthday), Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb, Cinders Bath Bomb and Golden Wonder bath bomb, I also had the Sparkler bath bomb. 

That is everything I have been buying so far! Comment below what you have been buying recently.

Small Superdrug and Lush Haul

Hello everyone,

I have a small haul for you to night, I have been Christmas shopping today and I picked up some very exciting things for myself. I am so excited to start Christmas shopping again, because I can start doing gift guides. I was wondering if you would want me to do Christmas buying haul, then a gift guide in November, because then you can see everything we're buying?

As you can see very small, but two of these things are very exciting in the blogging/youtube world.

I poped into Lush today for some Christmas presents, and decided to kick off the 'festive season' now with the Melting Snowman Bath Melt. This smells like cinnamon, spices and Christmas. Now the most exciting things every are from Zoella Beauty and COLAB. The first thing is from Blogger and youtuber Zoe Sugg's bath/body range, I picked up her Blissfull Mistfull Body Mist, this is the cutest packaging ever, I am so proud to own one of Zoe's products, everything is perfect and down to a T. Lastly is something from Ruth Crilly, she has brought out her own Dry Shampoo range, I picked up the 200ml in the scent New York. The scent and packaging is very modern and classy.
