The fact that my university is 20 - 25 minutes away from town means that I have to get the bus. Obviously this has it's pros and cons... mainly pros. But, I do volunteer at a school in town once a week, so I clearly make the most of it whilst I'm in the area!
The first stop is always Boots then I 'window shop' for a while and then head to Sainsburys for my weekly food shop... Yes, I do have a bit of a rota going on, may be a slight bit of OCD but I hate to be disorganised.
Anyway, the point of this post is to show you what I purchased on Thursday.
I did control myself, seeing as I just purchased my mum's birthday present I don't have that much money to spare this month!
Biore 'Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser' from Sainsburys £3.32 (on offer)
Imperial Leather 'Skin Kind enrich raspberry & lime blossom body wash' from Sainsburys 94p (on offer)
Oilatum moisturiser from Boots £7.65
Natural Collection blusher in 'peach melba' £1.99
Natural Collection loose powder in 'translucent' £1.99
Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 08 'Rossetto' £5.49
After watching the Pixiwoo sister's religiously for a while I decided to pick up the Oilatum moisturiser since they seem to use it as a base quite frequently. I have been using Cetaphil moisturiser for over a month now and it is great but I don't think it's quite moisturising enough.
And finally I picked up this lipstick on a whim. I want to build up my lipstick collection and ordered a Mac lipstick but I got it sent to the wrong address (idiot). The colour of this is great, not too different from my natural lip colour, but I really don't like the texture. There's creamy and then there's creamy. I can just feel it sitting on my lips which I really don't like.
I wish I loved it more but nevermind. I'll just have to wait for my Mac one!
What purchases have you made recently?
Do you budget yourself to a certain amount to spend on beauty products each week?
Hope you're having a nice day!

It is a gorgeous, subtle colour. It's one of those shades that I think would suite a lot of skin tones!
