To Me, happy results day! Love, Me x

As I already mentioned in a previous post I received good news a couple days ago that I am successfully graduating :) So obviously I needed to reward myself!

I had, yet another, No7 Boots voucher because I'd spent over £5 in their store. So, I was having a nosey around the No7 stand in Boots & came across their summer products; one of which being the nourishing lip shine that I have seen across quite a few blogs. I bought the shade pink (I think they do it in peach too).

I think the packaging is soo pretty!

So, what do I think of this product? 

Well, the foam applicator is quite nice as it applies an even layer across your lips. However, it was really quite difficult to get the first lot of product out & is still a little tough now. I really like the texture of the product. I'm not really sure on how to describe it, but it's a lot thicker than a lip gloss (explains why it's hard to squeeze out!). It feels really moisturising on your lips & isn't too sticky. As for the colour, it isn't too pink so I think it makes quite a nice day time lip product. I think it would also look great for evening wear over the top of a hot pink lippy! 

As well as the lip gloss I also treated myself to pair of cream jeggings from River Island. I wouldn't usually go for trousers this light but I thought they would look nice for the summer, on my hols next month & great on an evening paired with some killer heels! They're quite thin material too, so they won't be unbearable! The have gold detailing; such as the button & pocket zips. They retail at £30 & are also available in a pale pink!

What to spend your Boots No7 voucher on!

Even though I love all things beauty, before setting up this blog (not so long ago!) I didn't really know much on the subject. So I always stuck with the same foundation - maybelline matte mouse. But I realised after reading many blogs & watching many YouTube videos that I need to grow with the times, expand my beauty collection & GET A NEW FOUNDATION! 

So, like many others, I went out & bought the new Rimmel wake me up foundation. (I'll do a review on this when I am more familiar to it :). Another thing I learnt from blogs & YouTube is that applying foundation with your fingers isn't the best idea. Firstly it isn't very good for your skin, as you are rubbing your fingers all over your face & possibly spreading dirt & bacteria, & secondly using a brush for application applies a much smoother & even coverage. With this in mind I set out to find a sparkly new brush for my sparkly new foundation. With my £5 No7 voucher I obviously had to head to that section Boots! Where I found this little beauty for £14, meaning I only paid £9. 

Because I spent over £5 of my own money I was given yet another No7 £5 voucher. & I just couldn't help myself!...

With this being my first (in a very long time) liquid foundation I'm a little scared of it making me look oily or too shiny. I much prefer the matte look to my face in general. So I decided I needed a loose powder in my life, for a little dusting over the liquid foundation - setting my foundation & also giving a more matte appearance.

After speaking to the assistant at the No7 stand I opted for the perfect light loose powder in medium. The powder is a massive 24g for £11 (I paid £6)!

As sad as it is I'm really excited to try out my new foundation routine. If it's a great success, or a massive failure, I will let you know! :)

Hope you enjoyed the post,
