Organic Surge online offer

Organic Surge currently is offering free delivery on all orders placed via their website until 30th September and when you spend £25 or over you will also a face mask worth £6.99 free!

I've used a few of their skincare products before and I was impressed and what's even better is that non of their products contain parabens, SLS, foaming agents, synthetic perfumes and colours and other nasty things.

Mini Haul....and it was all free!

Yep that right all this was free because I used my Boots points! That's the kind of shopping I like!

Revlon - Grow Luscious Mascara
After seeing Georgia's post on this I decided that I had to have it! I had never really thought about using Revlon mascara's until I bought the Double Twist one about 6 months ago and I love love love it! Even more than my Maxfactor False Lash Effect one!

Good Things products
Good Things products are currently on offer at 2 for £8 in Boots and I've been wanting to try these since they came out a few months ago as they are paraben and sulfate free and don't contain any mineral oils or animal ingredients so they are uber good for your skin! And they all smell gorgeous as they contain 'superfruit extracts'. The range starts at £3.49 for a pack of face wipes up to £8.99 for a night moisturiser. I got (in photo L-R):
  • Miracle Mattifier moisturiser (blackcurrant and goji berry) - £7.99 for 100ml (yep and on offer)
  • Dream Cream night cream (fig and avocado) - £8.99 for 50ml (over £8 and on offer at 2 for £8! Bargain or what?!?)
  • Purifying Cleanser (mango and blueberry) - £4.99 for 150ml
  • Five Minute Facial Face Mask (avocado and goji berry) - £5.99 for 100ml

I also want to try the eye gel (which contains raspberry and lychee) which is £5.99 so I might well be spending the rest of my points on a couple more items!

Reviews will follow for all these products once I've been using them for a few weeks.

Pink long sleeved top - £12


Cream long sleeved top - £8 (bargain!)


Pink squirrel top - £12

Sooo cute!

Lily Lolo mineral cosmetics

I'd heard a lot about Lily Lolo from reading other beauty blogs and everyone seemed to rave about how good the products so I thought I'd check out their website. Their products are free from parabens, synthetic dyes and fragrances, petrochemicals and other nasty things which means that their products are super good for your skin and body!

The worst thing about trying make-up, especially where you can't use a tester, is trying to find the right shade because the colours on the computer aren't necessarily the colours which the products are but Lily Lolo make it quite easy to choose. Their products are divided up into light, medium and dark shades and what's even better is that they have a description to go with each shade explaining which skin tone it would look great on.

But, it gets better! They also offer sample sizes of their foundation, powder, concealer, bronzers and blushers so you can try before making the big purchase and at 75p - £1.25 you can afford to buy quite a few!

So I have my wish list:
Finishing powder
•Flawless Matte

Light foundation
•Candy Cane

Bronzer
•Waikiki
•South Beach

Concealer
•Blush Away
•Nude Cover Up
•Peep O

Blusher
•Peachy Pink
•Ooh La La
•Rosey Apple
•Doll Face

Oh and postage starts from £1! Bargain!

Has anyone tried Lily Lolo products? What do you think?

Matte nails

With the help of No 7's matte top coat I turned Bourjois So Laque nail polish in Fuschia Hype from this:


To this:
Sorry the light isn't very good on the photo's but I think you can see the difference.

I love the matte top coat, it totally transforms your nail colour into something different. And it's a bargain at £6.75 (or £1.75 with your £5 off voucher at the mo)!
