Spring Things: Beauty Additions


I think these are going to be the last beauty products I buy for a while. I seem to be able to walk into somewhere like Boots or Superdrug and buy a selection of things that I will probably never use. That's because I don't actually need them but at the time I seem to think I do. Does this happen to any of you? I'm really looking forward to using all of these products though and apart from the nail polish they are things that can be used on a daily basis.

Bourjois Cream Blush in Shade 03- Rose Tender £7.99
I have really been enjoying the one cream blush that I have at home (I recently found a good brush to apply it with instead of trying to use my fingers) so when I saw that Bourjois has released their own, I knew I wanted to get my hands on one. I've only used it once so far and really like it. After i've used it a few more times I might do a post to tell you what I think. But so far, so good. 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and on Bronze £4.99
I've been using the shade 'Pink Gold' every day and love it so decided to try a bronze colour. I love the formula of this product and the staying power is amazing. I highly recommend these and after using the Pink Gold one for a couple of months it hasn't shown any signs of drying out in the pot *touch wood*.

Maybelline Colour Show Polka Dots in Chalk Dust £2.99
So, I told myself that I didn't need any more nail polishes. But I saw this one and thought it was too good to pass up. I'd been thinking about trying the L'Oreal confetti top coat but this maybelline one is half the price and I love the Colour Show polishes. I'm really looking forward to trying this over different colours.

Superdrug Coconut & Shea Butter Body Butter £3.69
I never stick with the same body lotion. This is because I find that even the cheaper ones do the same job as the higher end ones and I like trying out a variety of scents. As long as it smells good and absorbs into my skin nicely I don't really mind what the brand is. Let me know if you've used any you think I should try!
 I love anything coconut scented and seeing as summer is approaching I thought this body butter would be ideal. I usually prefer using body butters to lotion as long as they aren't too greasy. I'm not expecting this body butter to be outstanding but it smells lovely and i'm sure it will do the same job as one from the Body Shop.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Oil Free Moisturiser £4.49
I ran out of facial moisturiser last month and wanted to replace it with a less expensive one so opted for this one after it was recommended to me by my best friend Laura. We often let each other know if we've tried something and liked it so I knew I should give this moisturiser a try. I also had a £1 off voucher for this range in Boots which was very convenient! So far I really like this product, I love the grapefruit scent and the consistency and also like the sound of the grapefruit face wash.
Have you tried any of these products or picked up any new ones for spring and summer?
