I popped into Boots today and picked up a few little bits and pieces:



* No7 Face Wipes. I absolutely love these, i've tried lots and lots of other branded wipes and nothing compares to these.
* Two Packets of Cotton Wool Pads.
* Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Super Self Heating Deep Pore Detox Mask. I can't wait to try this, also it comes complete with a little sponge. There was another similar mask from the same range which inclued a muslin cloth, although the description on the one i bought above sounded much more suited for my skin type, shall do a review as soon as i've tested a couple of times.

I also bought ANOTHER Oatmeal Long Length Cardigan from New Look, i love these and i *think* i have them in almost every colour now, ooops.

Most worn tag

Thanks to the lovely Paula at http://sweetcheeks1910.blogspot.com who tagged me to do the Most worn tag. The rules are simple, list your most worn:

1) Lipstick/Gloss
2) Earrings
3) Shirt
4) Nail polish
5) Shoes
6) Hair product
7) Perfume
8) Hangbag/Purse

You then tag five people to do the tag also and let them know on their blog.

So onto my most worn.....

1) Lipstick/Gloss, Maybelline Watershine Gloss, just as it says on the tube, makes my lips lovely and shiny, the smell is pleasant too and doesn't taste yucky:



2) Earrings, Gold Crystal Sparkly Stud Earrings, i wear these almost everyday, i love, love, love them:



3)Shirt, Topshop Nude Criss Cross Top, which as been featured in many magazines. I normally wear this with my straight leg Jeans or Leggings:



4) Nail Polish, Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat, Strengthens yet makes the nails look super clean, tidy and that polished feel, love the Sally Hansen range:



5) Shoes, Short Sand UGGs, i've had these for a few years now, i paid £150 for them and they're one of my favourite pair of Boots. I spray them with water repellent spray so i can wear them in the rain or snow and they don't ruin the boot, so comfy and cosy, here i'm pictured wearing them when we last had snow:



6)Hair Product, Boots Coconut and Almond Intensive Conditioner, this is one of my absolute favourite hair products ever, it works fantastically. I use it as a normal conditioner as well as an intensive one and it's made my hair in such fantastic condition that i hardly get any split/dead ends. A bargainous price at £1.99 for a generous tub, definitely recommended:



7) Perfume, Vera Wang, Princess Perfume, i love the packaging and the bottle, so pretty and princess-y :), one of my favourite perfumes:



8) Handbag, Warehouse Large Quilted Chain Bags, i LOVE this, infact since i've bought it i've worn it almost everyday, love the style:

Handbag Essential....

Maybelline Pure Cover Mineral Concealer:




I was given the above Maybelline Concealer in my Maybelline Goodie Bag from when i attended the event in London a few weeks back. This as quickly become a firm favourite handbag essential of mine. I apply a thin layer of the concealer underneath my eyes, i then blend it in with my fingers to give my skin a natural looking finish. I usually apply it in the mornings to cover any dark circles and it does this perfectly, something which i will definitely be purchasing again in the future.
