New Start, New Haul

To coincide with  the launch of my new blog, I thought it would show you some of the products I have been buying recently. You can probably expect quite a few hauls on A Day in Beauty - I like to shop.
Firstly I picked up some new skin care and body bits. I have been looking for a simple balm cleanser for a while now and the REN No.1 Purity Cleansing Balm seemed to fit the bill. The Origins Drink Up-Intensive over night mask has been my wish list for a very long time now, so I bit the bullet and finally purchased this well-loved beauty product. I also picked up the Origins Out of Trouble mask. My skin has been playing up lately so I needed something to help return it back to its normal state. For body products I always head straight to Soap & Glory - great smelling products and cute packaging, what more could you want? I bought the Clean On Me shower gel, I have gone through countless amounts of this stuff and I will always repurchase it. I also picked up the Whipped Clean Shower Butter, I haven't tried this before but the scent reminded me of cookie dough so it must be good. One of my favourite shower products is an exfoliating scrub, having tried the Flake Away scrub from Soap & Glory before so I thought I would give the Sugar Crush Body Scrub a go. 
As always, I bought some make up but surprisingly it is all drug store items. One thing I definitely knew I wanted to try was the well raved about Bourjois Cream Blushes and to use with this I picked up the Real Techniques Stippling Brush. I also purchased the new Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation as I was intrigued by the radiance properties. I repurchased the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner as it is a favourite of mine, and the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl Liner in Nude. One thing that I have been loving lately is the Sinful Colours nail polishes that have recently hit Boots so I picked up this shade in Sugar rush. Oh, and six others. Finally, a little present from my boyfriend - Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush perfume.
Lastly I picked up some Yankee Candle treats for my bedroom. I have been wanting an tart burner for a while now so I picked up this pastel yellow burner and three tarts to go with it; Sicilian Lemon, Fireside Treats and Vanilla Cupcake. I was immediately drawn to the new 'Cool Pops' range from Yankee Candle, mainly due to the cute pastel shades and the sweet scents so I bought Banana Blueberry and Mango Nectarine to fill my room with these scents over summer. 

So that is another months pay spent with in days, now just to wait until the next one...
