Haul

I had to pop into town yesterday to take some tops back that I haven't worn for work so I thought it'd be a good time to seriously start taking care of my skin. I've not really thought or read up on skincare but through blogging I have realised that no matter how much you spend on makeup and how much or little you wear if you don't have good skin it will never look it's best.
As I had a No7 voucher I thought I'd give them a go first of all.
I walked in, really not sure where to look or what to think and found they cater for three different skin tones; dry/very dry, normal/dry and normal/oily. I do feel I probably have combination skin as it can feel dry before moisturising but then feels oily too and I have recently been having major breakouts!! I asked the assistant for her advice and she was so lovely, explained all the different products they have on offer and said I should go for normal/oily and start with the cleanser and moisturiser. As it was 3 for 2 (as well has being able to still use the £5 off voucher) I also bought the face mask - which, she told me, also doubles up as an exfoliator.
(L-R No7 foaming cleanser, skin purifying face mask & day cram all for normal/oily skin)

So my new skincare regime will now consist of No7's foaming cleanser, followed by No7 beautiful skin day cream and then I will use the mask when I want a little extra help. Looking forward to letting you all know how it goes. The lady also told me that if I do have a problem then they will swap or give me a full refund! Lovely.

As I was in Boots I caved and bought the Essie nail polish in Mint Candy Apple. I have seen so many bloggers with this shade and I couldn't resist! It's gorgeous. Got home and gave myself a manicure straight away. I hope it lasts well.


I also picked up this ring from Dorothy Perkins. It looked quite unusual and i like the way it wraps around my finger.

Have you bought anything recently? Do you use any No7 skincare products? I was considering doing a video, but I'm not sure what to use - do you use your point & shoot camera to video or your laptop?

    1. Yeah, I haven't really got myself into a routine so thought I'd start with them and see how it goes. The face mask is very interesting!! x
