make up haul

hey sparkles

hi guys had a bit of a mini spend in superdrug over the weekend only spent £5 but i needed some mascara however there is a 3 for 2 event on at the moment and obviuosly it would have been rude not take advantage so the items i got were

extreme curls mascara in black £2
lip liner in pink me up £1
intense glitter eyeliner in starry night £1 ( or in this case free)
extreme felt eyeliner in black £2

i must admit i am normally hopeless with eyeliner but both of these are so easy to use and are perfect the mascara isnt the best but for the price it is good

i am planning a beauty haul when i come back from my holidays so any suggestions would be welcome simply leave me a comment below

Hey sparkles

Sorry i have been MIA for a while let me tell you a little of what i have been up to

I have received some make up from the brand W7 which i am loving

And also getting ready for 2 holidays so been hectic

Mua haul

Well here it is my first makeup haul in about 15years i was lucky enough to have £20 in superdrug vouchers so thats where i headed mua have an offer at the moment where you spend £6 and get a free colourblast eye tint so this little lot would have cost me £26 but in fact cost me nothing i will be filming a video with swatches later this week
by far my fave item is the 1d up all night pallette its colours are so pigmented and ideal for everyday wear my only problem is keeping it safe from mini sparkles lol

books i enjoy reading

i love reading and have recently finished reading the 5o shades of grey trilogy after much nagging from frineds etc i must admit that its not my cup of tea this is either because i am too old and boring or its just not my thing either way i didnt really enjoy

my favorite books are emma by jane austin and also the percy jackson series 

i am currently reading "Him and Me" by the gorgeous Jack Whitehall i don't normally read these kinds of books but i am making an exception for this one haha

another favorite book of mine is the hobbit i have read it about 1 times plus seen both movies definatly a good read

My little girl

Mini sparkles is 4yrs old and very much into her clothing already

She loves anything pink , leopard print and sparkly and loves 1d

She is very opinonated and will always let you know if she doesnt like something

We are letting her choose some outfits for our holiday so look out for a mini sparkles haul soon

my yankee candle collection

my name is mummy sparkles and i am a yankee candle-a- holic  they have taken over 2 drawers in my bedroom and my husband thinks i have a problem lol at the moment i am burning midnight oasis and bahama breeze as both of these smell so gorgeous even without be lit i never light the candle when my daugther is around and i never leave them unattended

 

my obsession has also rubbed off on my mum who is growing her own collection nicely 

2true make up

These are i beleive superdrug's own brand of makeup and are 3 items for £5

I purchused foundation,conceler and powder however they had so much to choose from

These are perfect i almost forgot i was wearing anything and covered my break outs perfectly

Sparkle rating 8 / 10

Pure cucumber and caffine eye roll on

This product as purchased from savers for a measly £1

I like many other mums I know suffer from dark circles and bags under the eyes so when Even spotted this for the bargain price i couldn't resist picking it up

I must admit I wasn't expecting this product to be tbat great however after using the product numerous times I am very very impressed

My eyes are definatly a lot brighter and less puffy I would highly recommend this product and I carry mine in my bag where ever I go it is an absolute god send

Sparkle rating 15 / 10 LOVE LOVE LOVE

My look

To start the morning i usually just put on my outfit for the day and brush hair and teeth and drop mini sparkles off to nursary i then come home and start the never ending task that is housework once this is finished i will go put on my makeup normally just basic cover up and lipstick

If i am going out shopping etc i will add eyeshadow and mascara

Tbh my make up collection is quite minimum however i have everything i need

I am hoping to add a few more items to my collection very soon so i will blog about that when the time comes

clearsil ultra rapid action wash gel

i am prone to outbreaks and redness especailly during cold winter months

i brought this product whilst it was on offer for £3

it claims to get to work in just 12hrs

after using the product for a week i can see some improvement in my face it definatly has helped reduce the redness and has a very nice smell where as i may not buy this product for the full price as it is quite expensive however thos is personal prefrance

WELCOME
