Pin me happy

I first saw this post on Louise's blog (sprinkle of glitter) and decided to do one myself. 

This post is all about those little sayings that pick you up when your feeling down, and make you realise life isn't as bad or hard as it may seem.

Here are a few of my favourites;

Glamorous UK Discount

Some of you may have read in my previous posts, I bought some disco leggings, and I absolutely love them. So......   I've finally taken the plunge and ordered myself some disco pants, unfortunately I don't have enough money to buy the American Apparel ones, but I've done my research and found that most people recommend the Glamorous disco pants as a cheaper alternative. They are very similar to the AA disco pants in the way that they have the pockets on the back and the zip and button on the front. I only ordered them last night so I am still waiting for the to be delivered, but I'm sure I'll love love them.

Some of you may be thinking why is she rambling about disco pants when the post title is about a Glamorous UK discount?  Well on to the good bit, I already thought these were a bargain at £29.99, but when I got to the online checkout I noticed there was a box for a discount code. Never one to miss out on a promotion or discount I Googled glamorous discount code and too my surprise a discount popped up for 25% off your shop at Glamorous UK. Woohoo my disco pants were now £26.99 including postage. Unfortunately this promotion ended last night :( but I did find another code that you may be interested in, for 20% of your next purchase at glamorousuk.com, simply enter the code GLAMOROUS20 at the check out to receive your discount (valid until 31/12/12). Hope you find this useful

P.S Looking forward to doing some OOTD's when my disco pants arrive

Superdrug Beauty Haul

I love shopping in Superdrug, there are always some fantastic offers and my beauty points are racking up fast. I had a great surprise this week when I got to the till and found out there was a promotion on which meant I earn't 10 beauty points per £1 instead of the usual 1 point per £1 spent. If you don't know much about beauty points check out the Superdrug website. So lets get on to the products ....

1. Revlon Lip Butters - £7.99
Since buying my first two lip butters I have now become a little obsessed and have bought three more. I love everything about them, the colour pigment the texture and the moisturisation, I'd definitely recommend trying them if you haven't already.

2. Revlon Balm Stain - £7.99
This is now my favourite evening lip product. The balm stain is not as moisturising as the lip butters but it gives a stronger and longer lasting colour without drying your lips out.

3. L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes - £10.99
I have only used this a couple of times but I really like it, in my opinion its not dramatic enough for a night out but I love using it as a day to day mascara.

4. L'Oreal Paris Le Correcteur Perfect Match - £7.99
I don't usually use concealer but my skin has been flaring up recently so thought I would try one out. I really liked the texture of this product and found it easy to blend.

5. L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Foundation - £10.99
I'm a little on the fence with this product, I've only used it once so far and to be honest I underestimated its coverage and put far too much on (oops), I found it a little too much for an every day foundation but I will be using this foundation for those nights out where I need a little more coverage.

6.L'Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse - £7.99
This product is very similar to the Revlon lip butters but I haven't found it quite as moisturising and the colour selection wasn't as good for my skin tone

7. MUA Bronzer Shade 3 - £1.00
I didn't really get my hopes up for this product due to the price, but I was pleasantly surprised, it gave me a really nice healthy bronzed look with looking like I'd been tango'd.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these products, if any of you have used them!
