Yes I know I'm meant to be saving money for Europe but MUA was having 3for2...what could I do?! I only bought three things though...hurray for self control! Err yeh then I went on Feel Unique so 3 items turned into 5.
So what did you buy I hear you cry? Well from MUA I got their Pro-Base eye primer, their gel eyeliner in 'On the Move' and their Undress Your Skin Highlighter.
I must admit, I have always been so impressed with their products and these new ones haven't disappointed. I wanted to try an eye primer as I have never used one but don't see the point in splashing out if I decide I don't like it. This one popped up for £2.50. ADD TO BASKET PLEASE. This feels lovely to put on, I expected quite a sticky feel to it but is was soft and silky. It made my shadow so much more vibrant and, yes, eventually it creased but it lasted almost an entire day before it did so. Normally after a couple of hours I notice creasing so this substantially prolonged this huge pain in the bum I deal with daily.
Their gel eyeliner is a pretty chocolate brown with a slight purple shimmer to it. Purple really brings the brown out in my eyes and I wanted something a little bit softer than my usual black to smudge out for a day-to-day look. This isn't as pigmented as I would have liked and did streak a little at first but once I'd kind of got going with it I loved the effect it gave. However, for the first time ever I was very disappointed with MUA for this product, it came off within an hour or so even with primer and eyeshadow and just smudged into nothing. Sorry MUA!
Lastly, this is my favourite of the 3. A gorgeous pinky subtle highlighter that goes on a dream and gives me a healthy glow. A product I would highly recommend for those who don't want to spend a huge amount, coming in at £3 it is a total bargain! SO in love!
From Feelunique I bought Sugar Strip Ease as an alternative to wax. I was a bit intruiged as to how this would be and I will do a full review next week when I have fully investigated this interesting product. I also finally jumped on the Real Techniques bandwagon and bought the core collection. Why I didn't do this earlier is beyond me. They are super soft and apply my make up like an absolute dream. I want them all now!! So so lovely and perfectly sized. My firm favourite is the buffing brush, it has become my everything brush.
Hope you liked dear readers!

Oopsie daisy. Primark has reeled me in yet again! All I wanted was a hoody and I came back with a TON of europe goodies. Let's get started then...
First I picked up these 2 lovely floaty vest tops with a sheer panel at the hem for £4 each. I love the bright colours! They are a little sheer but I have a couple of bandeaus to wear underneath.
Then I picked up this pretty sheer shirt with a denim collar and cute polka dots for £7, so cute to wear with shorts!
I had a bit of a blue polka dot theme and got this gorgeous silky loose vest with a longer hem at the back. I thought this would be really loose and light in the sun. This was also a bargain £4!
Aaaand lastly the one thing I wanted, a hoody! I needed something that I could throw on over any of my outfits I've crammed into my backpack. I picked this pretty mint colour because its so bang on trend and perfect for summer! This was a mere £8 and I decided to get a size bigger just to make it extra snuggly.
Hope you enjoyed my little wardrobe insight! (And a glimpse at my pretty wallpaper)

So as anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, I am going to Europe for a month this Summer!! I leave in around 8 weeks and as I am going to be insaaanely busy in uni leading up until then, I have started to pick a few bits a pieces up in preparation for backpacking. Armed with my £20 Christmas voucher, off I merrily skipped to Boots to get a few essentials. I am travelling on the plane so I can literally take mini versions due to our 100ml restrictions but me and my friend have said we'll pick proper things up at the other end.
Let's get started! (Don't we all love 3 for 2 offers)
From the left:
Original Source Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel - so so yummy and refreshing to combat how gross I am guaranteed to smell.
Sure Crystal Deodorant - I will need a much bigger one.
Toni and Guy Salt Spray - the only hair product I am allowing myself, fortunately I have naturally wavy hair so this just gives it a bit of oomph
Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo - smells delish and works a treat for my greaseball hair
Toni and Guy Conditioner - the sun drys my hair out so much so I need something really nourishing
Toni and Guy Shampoo - essential
Hand Sanitiser - so a germ freak staying in hostels? Yeh such a good idea....
I also picked up a couple of bits I needed in general.
Revlon Lip Butter in 'Tutti Fruitti' I caved and added yet another lip product to my vast collection, pretty spring colour. I think I will do a separate review for this one because it's just so lovely so keep an eye out!
Garnier BB Cream in 'Light'. I have now tried 3 BB creams and I haven't liked any of these but so far, I have LOVED this one. It smells lovely, nice creamy moisturising texture without being too slimy and heavy and a nice even coverage. Great for during the day with a bit of powder over the top. Winner.
