Collective Haul

First of all I apologise, I have felt really guilty not updating my blog everyday this week! :( I have had a REALLY hectic week. Without anmore delay I introduce to you my purchases for the week!

Shirt - Urban Outfitters Sale price £19.99 from £38.00. How gorgeous is the detailing on the back? I love this :) FYI: I took the last one in Oxford St, London.

Dress - Mango £32. I love this cotton print dress, The price is SOOO cheap compared to the fact that it's such a gorgeous versatile dress! It has a nice snug fit and flares out at the bottom, slightly Spanish style. You can wear it dressed up with gladiator heels, dressed down with tights and slouch boots, or just plain and summery with flip flops!

Skirt - Sale price £18.00 from £32. I love the colour of this flared skirt, I will be teaming it with snug fitting bright tops and gorgeous accessories! I can see it's going to give me a hard time ironing though! :(

Jeans - River Island (left) £24.99 (right) £34.99. The left pair has an elasticated waist, in the style of leggings (they are reall denim fabric not jersey ones) It feels SO comfortable and I want to buy 1 in every colour! The pair on the right is a lovely skinny jean with seam detailing, I love stone washed jeans, this one has a zip at the back which is really cute!

I have finally managed to re stock on my Neal's Yard Jasmine enriching cream -my absolute favourite, and also my orange flower water (toner) this is one thing that my skin wants - it breaks out if I don't tone with this water! I also went to Selfridges and got a Kiehls cleanser as all Neals Yard cleansers were out of stock at Boots Marble Arch *horror*, I also picked up 2 eye cream samples. Furthermore I gave in and got the lash stiletto mascara. I'm not doing the project 10 man thing, however I have been really sensible and already hit pan on about 6 things. :)

I can't really explain the consistency of the jasmine enriching cream, but it's very rich and moisturising. It gives a lovely base to apply tinted moisturiser or foundation on. It has a dewy finish if you don't set it with powder. I LOVE this cream, as it really helps heal "my" spots and clear my acne scars, i'm nearly almost clear, another few months and I hope to be clear. Please note: this may not work for you but works wonders for me, i'm not secretly employed by NY and this is just my own opinion :)

Moving along.... I usually use L'occitane ultra comforting cream cleanser to remove my face makeup on a cotton round, and then wash my face with NY orange flower water facial wash. Both products are amazing however were not accessable yesterday. I opted to try this by Kiehls. It's a non foaming washable cream cleanser that you can use to remove light face make up on a cotton round and essentially also wash your face with it. It's very gentle and suitable for dry and sensitive skin! I used it last night and this morning - I LOVE IT! also kills 2 birds with 1 stone! I will do a few review on it after a couple of weeks.

Here is a close up og the brush for lash stiletto, it looks really impressive - described as a stretch and set brush by Maybelline. I have high hopes for this!

Wow... that was alot :) Let me know your thoughts, tips and suggestions on the items I have purchased.. X
