Mini Primark Haul & a few other bits...

Hello My Lovelies,

This past weekend I went and visited my sister in Oxford we went for some lovely meals out and went to see 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and we obviously did a little bit of shopping, so here's what I bought!

My sister has been using the Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner for a while and had only great things to say about it, at only £1 each I decided to give them a whirl!

Look how cute these Bambi slipper socks are, they even have the cutest little tails! They were £4 bargain from Primark.
 

This black quilted bag looks way more than its £4 price tag and I thought will look great with my outfit for the Taylor Swift concert I'm going to in early February. (Also from Primark)
 

I already have a pair of these socks in a different design and love them, so when I saw these colours I grabbed them. Another bargain at £1.50 a pair from Primark!
 

And finally I picked up the NYC Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer for £2.50 from Superdrug. All NYC makeup is under £2.50 till January 21st, so decided that I would give it a try as I've never tried any NYC makeup or a primer...review to come!

Till next time,
                    Tori.

This Works...Deep Sleep Pillow Talk Spray Review!

Hello My Lovelies,

This post is a little review all about the This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Talk Spray and the Deep Sleep Stress Less Roller Ball. I bought the set in the January sales from the This Works website for £16 after seeing it in Boots for the past few months and really wanting to try it.


I'm not one of these very lucky people that the minute they put their head on the pillow they pass out...this rarely happens for me so anything that can help is a massive bonus! 
The instructions on the box says "Spray your pillow or bed cover before you to go sleep. Use to promote rest and relaxation" I usually spray my pillow and a few spritz in my room about 15 to 30 minutes before bed so that I can start to relax and so that the spray has a chance to sink into my pillow. 


The scent is mainly lavender and reminds me of spa days that I've had in the past, personally I'm not the greatest fan of lavender but it's not too bad once it's settled. On a good night the This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Talk Spray is a nice addition to my going to bed routine and does help me relax, I'm how ever not 100% sure it really helps me go to sleep!
The Deep Sleep Stress Less Roller Ball is an oil that you can put on your wrists or inhale on a tissue. I like to put it on my wrists just before I leave for work and I love it! It's again a lavender scent and helps to calm and soothe and I find it does help to chill me out before I go into my work place. The scent doesn't last all day but is great for first thing in the morning which is when I find I need it the most anyway.
I'm definatley going to repurchase the Deep Sleep Stress Less roller ball as I want to put one in my handbag so I can dab it at different points of the day, as for the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray I'm going to stick with it but I don't think I'll repurchase it.

Have you tried any of the This Works products and if so which ones? I really want to try the Deep Sleep shower gel!!

Till next time,
                    Tori.

Mini Haul!

Hello My Lovelies,

I've not written a haul post in what seems ages so I decided that I'd share with you a few things I bought last weekend.
 

First up Match Perfection Foundation from Rimmel- I've been wanting to try this foundation for a while so decided to buy it whilst I had a Boots double points voucher. 

I went into The Body Shop a few weeks ago and picked up some sale items but decided they were just too good a bargain so I had to go back and pick up a couple more of the body washes and they were only £2.99 each!

Then I went into Clinton Cards and saw that all the Christmas Yankee Candles were on a 50% off sale so I picked up two of the small candles and they were ones that I hadn't bought over Christmas, I've also decided to put them away for next year. 

I finally went into Marks and Spencer's and spent my Christmas vouchers on items that I haven't actually taken pictures of, but I got some black work trousers (snooze!) and a pretty top and some new pillows for my bed as mine were becoming uncomfortable.

Have you been out shopping recently or are you all still on a spending ban? Let me know!!

Till next time,
                   Tori.
