The Body Shop Haul
So yesterday I had a little delivery arrive from The Body Shop. It'a probably one of my favourite places to buy from online and they always do great deals!
I picked up by first make up bits from there and, of course, had to pick up the Honey bronzer after hearing so many good reviews about this. I also picked up the Instablur face perfector as I was totally intrigued by this! It can be worn on its own to blur imperfections or as a primer so it's perfect for no make up days or for use as a make up extender, lovely!
Of course I couldn't do a Body Shop haul without picking up one of their bath lily's. They are easily the best one out there and they're only a quid or two.
Last, but not least, I picked up two fragrances to try out. They have a new range called 'Fijian Water Lotus' which had a great reviews on the website and after being in the market for a fresh everyday price which I don't have to worry too much about over-using I picked up the full size eau de toilette. It smells lovely and fresh and is perfect for day-to-day wear so I'm really happy with this! I also picked up a mini 10ml size perfume in 'Amazonian Wild Lily' for on the go as I regularly forget to put perfume on so this will be a handy addition to my handbag! Again, it smells really fresh and they're only £5!
I'm really happy with my picks this time, have you guys bought anything good from The Body Shop recently?

Bourjois CC Cream Review
Today I am doing a review of a recent purchase which has really taken me by surprise - the Bourjois CC Cream. I didn't have too high hopes after everyone but me loving the Healthy Mix foundation but after seeing several promising reviews I thought I'd give it a go. I've never tried a 'CC' cream before so unfortunately don't have too much to compare it to in the colour correction department but, hey, you've got to start somewhere right?
I'm quite pale so was skeptical about there only being 3 shades, but the 'Ivory' shade suited me just fine! It's quite a matte finish which I really like and claims to correct colour on the face. I suffer from redness so for me this is just great and I can actually tell it makes a difference for evening out my complexion - just a bit of concealer under the eyes and I'm ready to go! My skin type is (currently...) an awful combination of oily T zone and dry spots and this doesn't seem to be aggravating that at all.
I've been applying this with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush and it glides on really easily.
I think this retails at £9.99 and in my opinion, this is totally worth it!
Have you guys tried this? What do you think?
