My student loan came through...

Cheaper rent in my house this year equals more money for shopping! :)

I feel sad not having Westfield Shepherds Bush so close to me anymore as it's my favourite place to fritter away all of my money but I still found some nice bits at Portsmouth high street, so here you go...

First stop Lush!

I bought the Eau Roma Toner water a while ago and reviewed it here and I really liked it but also wanted to give this one a go, so I bought this in the 100g size for £3.95. 

Then the cashier gave me a free sample of their new product Fun. It's literally like play dough that smells nice and apparently you can use it in the bath, in the shower or as shampoo. (or just to act like a child and mould in to different shapes!)

I was also persuaded to add on a pound for this Charity Pot which I couldn't actually open. Then my housemate Gary, determined to open it, dug his key under the lid, which then flew off and covered him in moisturizer. Rather funny to watch and we discovered that it smells like chocolate!

Then I strolled over to Boots and took advantage of their 3 for £10 on haircare deal by getting these three super sized dry shampoos. So I'm prepared for the next year...

I also got some products from the Botanics range. I have read so many good things about these products and they are such good prices so I thought I'd give them a go. The cleansing toner was £2.65 and the face cream was £4.65.

I then had the realization that it's actually getting cold now, so I should probably stop spending all my money on skincare and makeup and actually buy some autumn clothes! I got these two tops from H&M which I love! I wore the grey one (£9.99) yesterday and it's so soft and comfy and I really like the contrast sleeves. I thought the white lacy one (£14.99) would look nice either tucked in to a skirt or with some jeans and heels for a night out look which will keep me a bit warmer!

So that's all for now, I have a few more shopping posts coming up because I have been spending like crazy recently, someone stop me! 

Thanks for reading!

Lush Eau Roma Toner Water

Hellooo!

You may have seen in my Haul a while ago that I picked up this Eau Roma Water from Lush! I was trying to decide whether to buy this one or the Breath of Fresh Air toner water so I thought I'd get the smaller size which cost me £3.95 (100ml) and give it a try then perhaps try the other one at another time!

Lush Promise: 

• It is Made with a mixture of natural ingredients and safe synthetics.
• It's Preservative free (has an expiry date.)
• It's Vegan friendly.
• It is Not tested on animals.
• Recycled packaging is used.

Lush Claim:

• 'This toner is sophisticatedly simple and is intended for skins that need a little extra love and care. Dry, sensitive or mature skins will find the rose water is calming and reduces redness, whilst lavender water will soften the skin and balance sebum production. A gentle tonic for everyday use that will help hydrate the skin without causing it to overreact.'

How to use:

• 'Close your eyes tightly and spritz directly onto the face and leave to dry. Can be used for removing traces of cleansers and face products – but can also be used at any time of the day as a quick facial refresher or to cool the face.'

As I still have quite a bit left to use of my other Tea Tree toner from the Body Shop, I use that on a cotton pad to remove cleanser. And then after I have moisturized I spray this all over my face and leave it to sink in.

I also use it in the morning after I have cleansed and moisturized and I have really noticed a difference. It has really helped to remove redness and has even cleared up a few of my blemishes! It feels so nice and fresh, and it's a really nice way to wake yourself up in the morning! It smells really lovely, not my typical sort of smell as I usually prefer fruity or sweet scents, but this is really light and herbally.

I have heard some people complain that it's drying, I don't know if it's because I use it after moisturizing or that my skin isn't too dry at the moment because it's summer, but this isn't a problem for me. I find it plumps my skin up nicely and makes it really soft and all in all I loves it!!

Has anyone tried this one and the Breath of Fresh Air?

Which one would you recommend?

Thanks for reading!
