First up is this beautiful bag I got for a mere £8 from Primark. You may recognise this from my recent haul post, and it's been getting used loads! I mainly wear monochrome colours, so i've found this yellow bag to be a perfect way to add a pop of colour. (Plus, yellow is so stylish right now, I love it!)

 Next up is a bit of a weird one.. It's these tissues. I think I got them in Poundland or something, I can't really remember, they were in a pack of 10, but how cute are they?! I've had a really bad cold so I am always carrying tissues around with me right now! I particularly like the blue packet.






 I was recently in London (post coming soon) and I needed a little travel shampoo and conditioner. I've used these before, and loved them, and nothing's changed. They leave my hair feeling so smooth, and they smell lovely, and I can't rave about this brand enough.



This next product has been a lifesaver. I've had really bad skin over the past month, because of severe stress, but this has really helped to keep it reasonable. Basically, you spray a bit on your face, and let it dry, and it acts as preventing blemishes, and it works like a charm!

I got this face scrub in a beauty box, and i'd never heard of the brand before, but I will definitely be checking out more of their stuff! This makes my skin feel so soft, and I can really feel the exfoliating beads working at getting rid of dead skin, and thoroughly clean my face.

Lastly is this body spray from Victoria's Secret. It's quite pricy at £13, but I just love this smell so much. It's honestly amazing. It's coconut and vanilla, and I really just adore it. It's my go-to scent, and I have the smaller bottle as well, which is perfect for throwing in a handbag!


So that's what i've been loving through May! What were you loving?
Until next time!

For the past couple of months, when i've remembered, i've been saving my products that i've finished, and now i've condensed them into one big "Empties" post. I decided the easiest way to do this would be to split them into categories, so let's go!

1. Skincare/makeup

(l-r) Simple "Spotless Skin" Moisturiser L'Oreal Micellar Water Simple "Rich Moisturiser" Balmi "Strawberry" Lip Balm.

 Out of these four products i have only repurchased one. That one being the L'oreal Micellar Water. I've gone through three bottles now! I love this stuff! The two moisturisers were okay, nothing special, they did the job to an extent, but I prefer my "Nivea Day Cream."
As for the lip balm, i actually did love this, although the lid broke when it was halfway through, and wouldn't shut, so I couldn't travel with it. As for why I haven't repurchase it? I'm a lipbalm junkie, and I really don't need another one. Plus, I have an EOS Lip Balm which is almost identical to this one.

2. Body

(l-r) Sure Deodorant in "Cool Pink" Nivea Deodorant in "Invisible For Black and White" Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitiser in "Caribbean Escape" Radox Shower Gel in "Cherry Blast"

 I absolutely loved the shower gel, and the Nivea deodorant, and they have been repurchased countless times. As for the sure deodorant, i wasn't too keen on that.
The hand sanitizer isn't easy to get a hold of in the UK, without paying a ridiculous price, so I only get it when my cousin brings it over from America. The smell was okay, but not one of my top scents from Bath and Body Works, and I probably wouldn't repurchase it.


3. Hair

(l-r) Batiste Dry Shampoo in "Brunette" Aussie Conditioning Mousse Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Spray Batiste Dry Shampoo in "Tropical" Tresemme Argan Oil Serum

I haven't repurchased the mousse, because I started off loving it, butended up hating it. It got really runny, and I started to go off the distinct scent. I've repurchased the Batiste brunette Dry Shampoo, because it works really well, however i'm not keen on the smell! But the tropical one left white bits in my hair, even though it smelled lovely.
As for the two Tresemme products, i absolutely loved them both, and I am onto my third bottle of the Keratin Heat Spray. As for the Argan Oil Serum, I can no longer find it! Has it been discontinued? If it has, that's really sad, as it was amazing. It left my hair so smooth!

And that's just some of the products i've used up in the past few months! Thanks for reading!

So, some of you may know that last week, I went to London with two of my closest friends to celebrate the end of school, our last trip before we head to University in September. Our main reason for going down was to visit the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour (because we are all massive Harry Potter fans) but I managed to do quite a bit of shopping in the four days I was there, and that is what I am going to share with you today!

Okay so the first two things I didn't actually get in London, but I got them the day before I went so I thought i'd include them as I love them so much! As some of you may know, my birthday was a couple of weeks ago, on the 10th May, (i did a birthday haul that you can read here!) and one of my good friends Laura gave me these two gorgeous gifts! I've been a huge fan of crayon wall art for ages, but never ever bought one myself, and I am so happy i've now got one! I'm going to take it up to Dundee in September (where i'm moving into student halls, as i'm going to Art School up there), and it will make my student room look so pretty!
She also got me this beautiful handmade necklace in with a Snitch on it (Harry Potter fans will understand! I am in love with it, and I of course wore it in London! Thanks Laura!

 Oops.. so I did a bit of shopping.. I was going to split this into two posts, but i've decided just to condense it into one massive post. Enjoy!



First stop was New Look, where I got an adorable flower crown, some cute scrunchies (that i'd been wanting for aaages) and my Prom Shoes! And they were under £30! Absolute bargain, and I love them! (And they were so comfy on the night - my prom was on Thursday, post coming soon- I definitely recommend them to anyone who has a prom coming up!






I ten of course had to stop off at Boots! (What's a shopping trip without spending way too much money in Boots?!) Most of the stuff I bought was Prom related. I wanted my makeup to last all night, so I bought a primer from Rimmel (i've never actually used a primer before this, but I loved it!) I also needed a new eyeliner and I absolutely love Rimmel's "Scandaleyes" range. The "Palmers' Cocoa Butter" is my all time favourite lipbalm, and i'd ran out, so I rushed out to stock up!
For prom I wanted glitter nails, and this sparkly nail varnish from Maybelline was perfect.
Now, I am a very pale British girl, and for prom, I wanted to have a little bit of colour, but I didn't want it to be too drastic, and let me tell you, this Garnier tinted moisturser is absolutely incredible for giving a "Summer Glow".
I also like to carry a hand cream in my bag, so I purchased the sample size of the Soap and Glory "Hand Food". (I'm sure I don't need to tell you how great it is.)


I also popped into Primark and picked up some travel bottles, because i'm flying to London on Monday, and I also picked up the cutest pair of high waisted denim cut-offs, I think i'm in love...


Two days later, I headed into town again, and I did more shopping.. Oh dear..







I went back in to Boots, and spend more money! Again, most of these things were for Prom (can you sense a themed shop?) I got cheap powder just to put in my bag for touch ups, I needed a new foundation, so I fancied trying something different, and I finally got a Revlon Lip Butter, ad it was the perfect pink colour. I also got false eyelashes, and they looked amazing on my eyes, but I could not get the right eye to work, it just wouldn't stick, and eventually it turned out I couldn't use them for prom, which was really sad, does anyone else struggle with false lashes? I tried fro an hour! Is that just really bad? Please let me know!
I also realised I never photographed the last few things on the same day, so that's why they look different, but I also got some Charles Worthington hair products to travel to London with.

I popped pack into  New Look and picked up this gorgeous clutch bag, for only £8.99!


PS I just wanted to say a huge sorry for lack of posts, my life has been super busy recently. I've had exams, and a huge Advanced Higher Art portfolio to finish, i've had my prom, i've had dance rehearsals, and last weekend I was at Radio 1's Big Weekend (i'll probably do a blog post soon, but you can check out on my instagram - @youfounderin- if you want.), it was absolutely amazing, but it took up my entire weekend! And on Monday, i'm ff to London with two of my closest friends for 4 days, so i'll try to get a post up tomorrow, but if I don't 'll try to schedule some to go up for when i'm away! Thanks for reading!
