New Look, Next, Boots, Lush and More Haul!

Hello Lovelies!

How has everyone been? Firstly, HAPPY EASTER! I hope you're all getting ready to tuck into your Easter eggs and regret it afterwards! Yay! Hahaha.

So, if you follow me on twitter (@theycallmeezza), you may know that on Friday I went on a little shopping trip and got a few things, which I for one am very very happy with! And I just wanted to show you all and tell you what I think of them.

In the UK, we have two clothing stores which are called Next and New Look (you might have them in your country and adore them as much as we do) and I love their latest clothing and accessories!


First of all from Next, I brought this blue top with white dots, which you put over a vest top and I love how it's so summery and how you can wear it in the day time and in the evenings. 


From New Look, I brought a grey blazer that the material of it is actually like a cardigan and I love that! I think it's great for spring and summer evenings when going out to somewhere nice! Also, it's just generally nice for special occasions. 


Going back to Next, I then brought this mint colour button up blouse with little birds on it and I thought it was so cute! With this, you also put a vest top underneath. As again, this is brilliant for the spring and summer seasons!


Back to New Look, I brought this long gold necklace which has little beady bits and a feather hanging off the end, I been needing something like this for ages now and I never really found one that I liked, thank goodness I found this!


Lastly, I brought this burgundy bag from New Look and can we all just have a second of silence and take a look at this bag....IT IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! I am in officially in love with this bag, it's so perfect for me as I tend to put quite a few things into my bag. It's just paradise. 

Now on to Boots! I love Boots. I think every girl in the UK loves Boots. It has everything that a girl will ever need! 


If you know me, you'd probably know that I stress out... a lot. And this tends to give me spots! Oh huzzah. So, I saw this little beauty and I thought I will give it a spin. I hope this will help my skin and me to relax and chill for a while.


Now, this is one of the prettiest nail vanishes that I've ever seen! The colour of this is called Pistachio Drage by L'Oreal, which comes out like a minty kind of colour, and I can't stop bragging on how much I adore this! As you can see in the picture, I do have it on my nails at the moment and I can't seem to stop staring at them...Oh dear. 

Lush. Oh Lush. Sweet Lush. Oh how I love the smell of Lush! I must of been in this shop for about half an hour just smelling all of their products! 



I've heard about this lip scrub for a while now and I've been wanting to try it out. The smell of this is so so strong! And every time I smell it, I just want to eat it... But you can! This lip scrub is actually made out of sugar and is edible but I wouldn't advise you to eat the whole pot for health and safety reasons, haha. Moving swiftly on before I get sued...

Now, for a little special treat... I went to Debenhams as well on Friday but I also been going throughout the week too and I picked up a couple of samples of products that I've been dying to try. 


The first sample that I picked up was the Clarins Face Treatment Oil in Lotus. Lately, I have had quite oily skin ,because of the weather changing, and it been especially at night! I had tried moisturizers but they're just not helping! So, I had a little chat to the Clarins lady about it and she recommended this and it has been so wonderful to my skin! I feel so refreshed and not so oily in the morning! I will be going back to buy the full product, believe me!


The second and last sample that I picked up was the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra in 01 and I love this so much that I don't seem to have much more of the sample (sad face) but I found this product incredible! It felt so light on my face and the coverage was very good especially as I'm always running around getting errands done, I only needed to powder once! Once! 



Then, when I went shopping Friday, I brought this glamorous product from Benefits! I was so excited to finally buy something fro Benefits as I've never brought anything from them before. So, this my lovelies is the Big Easy BB Cream and this is very very good! The SPF is 35 which we all know is pretty damn good! It also helps control moisture and oiliness on the face which is good for the summer and warm days. Overall, this product is brilliant indeed!




With the BB Cream, I got a free Fake Up concealer which is also from Benefits. I'm still debating with myself about this product. It is meant to cover up the dark circles under the eyes and diffuse fine lines but I'm just not seeing it yet. I don't know if I'm not using it right or if I'm just too young to use it. Hmm, let me get back to you all about this.

So, overall I had a very successful shopping trip and I very much enjoyed it! I hope you all have a lovely weekend and Easter!

See You Soon!

Toodles!

Review: Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 Foundation

Hello Lovelies!

How is everyone spending their Sunday? Before I forget, Happy Mother's Day! Thank you to all the mums for everything that you have taught us and are still teaching us the way of life.

On to today's post then. So, the review that I am doing today is the Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 Foundation. This foundation is lovely! The special part about it is that it is also a primer and a concealer, which I find very helpful as when you are in a rush to get ready and you want to slap a bit of make up on, this is the best product to use!

I love the feel of this foundation and it's not cakey which is pretty much a big bonus. Like newer (and some older) foundations, it evens out your skin tone so it doesn't make you look or feel orange or even yellow. Also, my favorite thing about this is that it doesn't feel heavy, it feels natural and light.

I have to admit about the price of it, it's only £12.00, this may sound a bit much to some people but when you think about it, it's not that bad!

I hope you are all having a lovely day and question of the day is what is your latest favorite product?

Until next time!

You're Beautiful and Thanks for Reading!

Make Up Review: Clarins

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I got told to check out this make up brand called Clarins! So, I went into my local Debenhams store and had a little makeover! 

Must say! One point for having a great display! Had a lovely layout with sections of the different beauty products. It was very organised! 

Another point for customer service! The lady that assisted me was extremely generous and very kind! I love seeing the people that work for these brands being happy and ready to sell these products. It's always a good sign that they love what they are doing!

Now, on to the actual make up. I must say, I am very very impressed! As I saw the different kinds of skin tones and the colours of blushes and lip sticks, it was very....seasonal and, once again, organised as the colours didn't collide as they were sorted by shade. Deserves an extra point! 

Before the lady applied the foundation, she showed me how to get a smooth touch to my face before adding my foundation by using the Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch which was so lovely and it didn't make my face feel at all oily or greasy, which is a big plus for me as I have quite oily skin. When she was applying the foundation, which was called Everlasting Foundation SPF 15, I noticed how light it was!  I was very surprised as she applied quite a bit but it didn't feel heavy at all! I was extremely impressed. Also, the foundation smelt a-mazing! It doesn't even contain any perfume! It's all from the world of plants, so this is what gives it the natural feel to your skin. 
After I was given the facial and foundation progress, the lady then said that they had the new Spring collection that just come in, products such as blushers, lip sticks and complexions. The one that I tried was the Multi-Blush, in which this was a blusher but also a lip stick! It has creamy and light sensation and is perfect for Spring! The colour I tried was the Rosewood and it just suited me perfectly! 

I extremely recommend this make up brand! Especially, if you are willing to spend a bit of money on make up or even if you are just starting out experiencing or experimenting with make up. 

I give you, Clarins, a rating of 9 out of 10! The only down side is the pricing but I do have to admit it is worth spending your money on! I applaud you Clarins! *clapping*.

I hope you've enjoyed this review! Please go and check out the Clarin's website: http://www.clarins.co.uk/ and give me your opinions of this brand by writing in the comments below! 

See you all very soon. You're beautiful and thanks for reading.
