The Last Haul Of 2014

I’ve been thinking a lot about moving out lately, and especially how me and my other half have been together a very long time now and want to move on with our lives. We’re currently living with my parents, and to be honest we’re quite happy at the moment, we just don’t have a lot of money to get our own place. We’ve both admitted we’re terrible at saving money, and have decided that in 2015 we’re going to make a serious go at saving some money together to get our own place. To help on my side of saving money I’ve decided to go on a spending ban for 100 days, but first to get my no spending out of my system I decided to buy a couple of bits, which turned into a lot, which may have possibly turned into quite a haul. So here’s my last haul of 2014, and actually for a very long time!
For a while now I’ve had my eyes on Dior’s Star Foundation, so I decided to visit a Dior counter and treat myself, which turned out with my buying the Star Concealer as well. I was then hunting for a red lipstick for new years, when the lovely Dior counter assistant helped me to pick one out, and then I ended up buying a lip liner too as I didn’t already have one, I’m a terrible beauty blogger.


 After looking at my local Dior counter I decided to look around the rest of Boots as it would be rude not to. I want to try growing my hair again so I turned to my old faithful Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment, and it happened to be on 3 for 2. My current cleanser and serum is getting a little low so I picked up Eau Thermale Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser as I’ve heard good things about it, and another Hydrating Serum, as this has worked well for me in the past. I then picked up Rimmel London’s Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade Kiss Of Life as the colour looked amazing and I’ve not tried one of the Kate Moss lipsticks yet, and Essie’s Jazzy Jubilant nail varnish, mostly because it was pretty and sparkly…


In The Body Shop’s sale I picked up a few bits, including the Raspberry Body Scrub and Body Butter, the Blueberry Body Scrub and the Frosted Cranberry Perfume which smells incredible! I was actually quite restrained in The Body Shop as there was loads I wanted to buy, but I’m glad I only came away with four things.

So that’s my last haul of 2014, and for a very long time! Hopefully this will have got my spending habits under control and it will all be out of my system for 2015. Now to start this spending ban…

    I’ve never really been one for skincare, having always kept my skincare routine very very simple only using face wash.

    So who’s excited about the Jubilee? I’m suddenly feeling very British and patriotic. It inspired me into doing some Jubilee themed nail art.

    I’ve always loved looking at other bloggers ‘perfume collection’ type posts, and I’d love to do one myself but truth be told I only ever have one or two bottles on the go. I seem to have a eye (or nose) for expensive types of perfume, so I can never afford to have a collection….
