Shopping for less than £25!

Hi everyone!

SYesterday was my brothers 18th birthday, so today we went to Leeds so he could spend some of his moolah, yesterday we went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and then a meal out, so I didn't have too much cash. I decided to take only £25 just because whenever I take a lot of money with me when I go shopping, I sound almost as if I need to get rid of it before getting home, and I didn't really need anything, so I took that just incase I saw something I liked. I don't mind taking a lot of money with me when I go shopping, but I saw no point today. 

You don't realise how much you can get with just a smaller amount of money. Not only did I manage to get some bits for my self, I also got my friends birthday present all for less than £25! I'm glad I didn't take more, because I did see stuff that I would of bought, and then regret when I had no money for a while. I think I just buy things for the sake of buying them!

Anyway, I just thought I'd share my purchases of the day with you, almost like a mini haul!

Enjoy!

Wet effect leggings

I never thought I would get a pair of these. I always saw people wearing them and envied them thinking I couldn't pull them off. I decided on a whim just to try these on, knowing I'd probably come out scarred by the site. But no. I loved them! So I bought them, and I'm glad I did! I wore them after with a white kitty design chiffon blouse that I got from Primark

Primark-£8

Space Girl Bath Bomb

How can somebody NOT like Lush? It's a mystery. This smells AMAZING, almost like parma violets, but much, much better. It's meant to smell of blackcurrents... Hmmm. It has popping candy in, and even better, is coated in glitter! I cannot wait to have a bath with this...It won't last long!

Lush-£2.10

Out of this world Gift Box

This isn't for me (But I'd love to get it as a present!) This is the gift I got my friend for her birthday. It has the Space Girl bath bomb, and rock star soap. I'm loving having this in my room, as I walk in and get greeted by the amazing smell! The paper is glow in the dark too, which is pretty cool!

Lush-£6.50

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I wrote a review on this not so long ago (Here!) and yes, I've run out already. But it's OK, I've bought more! I absolutely love this stuff, and it does just what it's supposed too! 

Boots-£7.99

Primark Hair Bobbles

Yes, I know, pretty boring, but I spent 20 minutes this morning looking for a hair bobble. I knew it was time to buy more! And who can go wrong with 30 for £1? These don't have them horrible metal panels either which really annoy me, so that's good. There's a mixture of thicker ones and thinner ones, and the packs do come in different colour sets

Primark-30 for £1

All of that came to £23.59! I still had enough money to go to subway and get something nice to eat :)  (I did have a little bit extra for lunch). I think for the money I've done quite well. I don't regret buying anything and I haven't come home with bags of stuff that'll never use.

Do you ever set yourself limits when you go shopping?

Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you next time

Bye!

Review | Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Hey guys!

Today I have a review for you. In my '7 things for 7 days' post, I said that I wanted to buy something make-up wise that is a bit more expensive. I wouldn't say that what I bought was expensive really, but I'll admit that for me, my foundation was £1.99...Which would explain why it's so rubbish! I was going to get Macs Studio Fix foundation, but I'd been wanting a BB Cream for quite a while, which is why I bought...... Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream  Boots price : £7.99

The packaging for this is quite simple, but I really like it. The top colour is different on every tube depending on colour. All together there's 4 shades, Light, Medium, Dark and Universal Glow.  I have this in light, which is the palest shade they have. I think the colour range is fairly good, as the colours do blend quite well, however not the best of BB creams I've seen. 

The smell to this is... well it's not great. I have to admit that the smell of a product means a lot to me. I don't buy something just because it smells nice, but you know, it's a nice bonus.
This claims to have 8 benefits:
(1) Creates a natural glow
(2) Compliments skin tone
(3) SPF30 UV protection
(4) Hydrates all day
(5) Blurs Imperfections
(6) Oil free, non-greasy
(7) Looks visibly smooth
(8) Feels fresh
I really like this product. I put it on before foundation and after moisturiser, but sometimes I don't put foundation on, as this does such a good job! BB stands for blemish balm, and was first created for soldiers to blur out their scars. This blurs blemishes so well! I can get quite a spotty T-zone, and this just covers them up! It reduces the redness, and makes them look so much smaller, if not invisible! By the time I've applied this, concealer and foundation, you'd think my skin was flawless, Yey! This works really well as covering up my under eye circles too! I also quite like the finish of this, as it gives an almost dewy finish. If you have quite oily skin, this might not be a good thing. I have such annoying skin, in some places it's normal, some patches of dry, and then some oily parts, but this leaves an even finish. It isn't drying, and leaves skin feeling nice and smooth. After applying this, I feel more awake, and it leaves my face feeling SOO smooth! Also, SPF30? Bonus! I never put screen-screen on my face on a day to day basis, unless it's really hot, so it's great, I never have to worry about whether I remembered  to put on sun cream. This is a 30 ml tube, however, you only need a little bit. I found that if you apply too much, it can feel quite cakey and greasy.
Overall, I'm enjoying this product, and will be repurchasing this once I have run out of it. If you are wanting to try out a BB Cream, I would recommend this one if you don't have oily skin, however , I think this is too dewy (Is that the right word) for more oily skin.

Thanks for reading!
Adios!
Abbie!
