UD Ultimate Basics Palette – £38.50

My best friend bought me this as a birthday present, and I LOVE it (thankyou Carla). All the shades are matte, and I personally think that the pigment is stronger than the typical Naked, Naked 2 and Naked 3 palettes, and it’s really easy to create a pretty strong colour, as well as easily being able to master an everyday nude look. My favourites at the moment are ‘Lethal’ and ‘Extra Bitter’ which are the perfect burnt orange/burgundy eye combination, and then ‘Nudie’ and ‘Tempted’ are really subtle for everyday, but still create depth to the eye socket.

Florence & Fred Knee High Boots – £30.00

I am obsessed with over the knee and knee high boots, and I cannot get over how perfect these ones fit and how easy to walk in they are! I would never even think to look in F&F at Tesco for clothing or shoes, but when popping in with my mum earlier this month I saw these and HAD to get them, they are an unbelievable price at only £30, and the quality is so much better than many other boots I’ve owned before! The berry/burgundy colour is perfect for AW and goes with so much, but I’m tempted to buy them in black too!

St Ives Apricot Scrub – £4.19

I bought this facial scrub when I saw it featured in an article about Gigi Hadid’s skincare routine (yes I am that person who reads these things, and no I don’t know if it’s true or not) but when I saw it was only £4.19, I thought I’d give it a go anyway, who doesn’t want to look like Gigi. It’s actually pretty good! It has small exfoliating balls that are quite rough but really feel like they’re doing the job, and your skin feels amazing afterwards, so clean and soft!

Gymshark Dry Sculpture Leggings

As everyone who knows me knows, I am absolutely obsessed with Gymshark clothing, and I have A LOT. I already had the dry sculpture leggings in a cropped style with a mesh panel down each side, which I love, so when I saw they were releasing the same style legging in a ‘plum’ colour, I had to get them. I 100% recommend these leggings to anyone, they are a thick material so aren’t see through when you squat, comfy and soft, fit SO well around the waist and hips, and mould your bum pretty well too! I wear a size S and I’m usually a size 6-8 on bottom for anyone wondering what size to order!

These are the leggings I was wearing in a previous post so you’ll recognise the photos, there will also be a Gymshark lookbook coming soon for anyone interested! 🙂

Revolution Blush Palette – £6.00

I bought this completely on a whim when I was in Superdrug and there was a 3 for 2 offer going on across all makeup, so thought I’d give it a go seems as it’s only £6.00, and I would be getting it free! It is such a pretty palette, the blush’s all have a really nice shine to them, but don’t make you look like you’ve just attacked your face with illuminator, which I was worried they might do. There is also a couple which are really great as a powdered highlighter!

MyProtein Protein Brownies – £11.99

So this is a real gym favourite (sorry). I have had these before, but all of a sudden I’m addicted and eating them nearly everyday, which is probably bad haha! A lot of protein bars/snacks don’t taste that great, especially cheap ones, however these are so good!!! They may not be an actual brownie, and have a slightly drier texture, but they taste great, and are a lifesaver for when I’m out during the day!! They cost only £11.99 for a box of 12, and with 287 calories, and 23P 27C 9.7F macros, these are perfect for lunch or a snack on the go, and are a great way of boosting your protein intake. They are a little high in fat, however the majority of protein products are, and you can balance this out with the rest of your food if you track!

Batiste Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo – £3.99

I used to use this product a few months ago, but after going through trying a few different brands, I can say this is my firm favourite dry shampoo, and it’s also just a great product for adding volume to your roots, whether you need a refresh or not! I really struggle with how flat my hair is on top, and this is a serious lifesaver, it can be quite white in colour and powdery when first applied so I’m not sure whether it would be as ashy in very dark hair, but after you’ve brushed it through/rubbed it in you’re good to go and your hair looks insane!

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cairo – £5.50

I know so many people who love NYX lip creams, and after watching Sarah Ashcroft’s most recent ‘Slay’ daily makeup routine where this particular shade was featured, I decided to make a purchase. I was worried it may be a little too light for my skin tone, however with a lipliner (I’ve mainly been using MAC Whirl) it is the perfect beige nude colour! It is £5.50 so definitely doesn’t break the bank, and the formula isn’t drying at all for a matte lip!
