This Week I'm Loving... #6

Pinterest
Okay..... I'm officially converted to Pinterest! (Or as my mum likes to say "Pin-Interest") I've probably had this social media account for years but have never caught the pinning bug..... Until last week! I can't stop, I won't stop! It started when I started looking at tattoo inspiration and  ideas that was it! I could spend hours on this site!! My username is   KirstieLouiseS - here's my account! 

Jerseylicious
This show is awesome. How have I never watched it properly before? I know it's been out for years and yes I'd heard of it but after stumbling across it on ITVBe one lunchtime I have been trying to watch it every weekday when I pop home from work! 
I need them all on DVD - ASAP. (I like Tracy AND Olivia .... Is that okay?)

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick - Nude-ist
You may have seen this in my recent boots haul! I had been eyeing up this shade for a while and was super happy to finally bring it home last week! I have been wearing it constantly, it is a gorgeous everyday colour and it lasts for hours and hours! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the scent.... It is horrible! 

Sia - 1000 Forms Of Fear
I loved Chandelier when it came out and downloaded it immediately. After watching lots of Dance Moms again recently it reminded me to have a little listen of Sia's album - 1000 Forms Of Fear! I have been listening to it on YouTube and have fallen in love! It's really not my usual style of music but I've been really enjoying it - Fire and Gasoline is my favourite! 

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
Yes, like every other beauty blogger I ran and grabbed Elle magazine as soon as if was released this month! Free make-up is always a bonus... free Benefit make-up is even better and free brand new Benefit make-up is the best! I have been loving this little tester and I definitely think it will be something I'll be investing in once it is released properly!

Fishtail plaits
I have finally mastered the art of a fishtail plait! I am so happy my hair is finally at a good length that I can wear a fishtail and be excited about it!

Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Hand Cream 
My hands have been seriously suffering these last few weeks and this has been my go-to hand cream! It really helps to soothe and hydrate my poor dry hands and smells amazing at the same time! It's rich and creamy without being greasy - I just wish it was easier to be able to get some more!

New Look Lace Up Black Boots
I bought these back in November in the sale and over the past few weeks I have been wearing them alot! They are so so comfy and make my feel a little bit glammer when I'm dressed in casual clothing!

Warburtons Crumpets
These with marmite = the greatest winter breakfast.

Boots Haul

After payday arrived last week it was finally time for me to pick up a few bits and bobs in the blogger paradise that is Boots. 
I had a few things I needed to get and and others were spur of the moment - although I am being good and I did think through each purchase before heading to the checkout, well done Kirstie!
 Simple are a brand I have used on and off for years and years! They were my go-to brand as a teenager and I know I'm always safe with them! 
Recently my skin has been a bit dry and sensitive - damn air con/heating/cold weather - so having a perfume feel shower gel that made for sensitive skin is a must ..... even though I find £2.10 a bit steep for the size... I'm such a cheap skate sometimes!
After running out of my Liz Earle Skin Tonic and turning into a bit of a penny-pincher I decided to settle for Simple's Facial Toner. I've used this countless times before and know it will keep my skin clean and clear.
February is birthday and valentines season .... so my favourite eyelashes were a definite must! These are the Eylure 101's - I used to wear the 107's all the time but they have changed the design slightly on them which makes them way too big for my little eyes ... which sucks! This is the triple pack.... as you can see I had to already swiped out a pair to rock on Saturday night! At less than £14 these work out better than buying pairs separately!
Elegant Touch Express Nails are something that I've used a few times before and have always been so impressed with! These were down to just £2.20 on clearance, amazing right? So I just had to pick up a pair to have on stand-by!
Now it's time to talk about the make-up!
 I needed a replacement for my everyday foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix in 52 Vanilla as mine was running seriously low. When I picked it up I noticed the deal on Bourjois was "Spend £12 and get a free lip product" - after eyeing up the Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in Nude-ist for weeks now and knowing it was worth £9 I knew this was a deal I couldn't miss out on ! So I grabbed the Poudre De Riz De Java powder (which was on the only one there, s it was totes meant to be!) as I have been so intrigued about it for months and have heard great things, chucked it in my basket and got super excited about the great deal I was getting - less than £20 for these 3!

So there we have it - those are the few bits I've picked up this past week! 
What have you been buying?
