♥×♥ Some Wee Bits & Bobs I Bought Recently ♥×♥

* Simple Oil Balancing Control Moisturiser: Boots - £3.99 *

I got this because i was in need of a new face moisturiser and cus i have to save the pennies as well :( i thought because it said "oil balancing" that it would actually do that. However .. no it did NOT! Less than an hour after i applied all my make-up i had a shiny face. I have oily/combination skin you could say. I have an oily t-zone but my cheeks are quite noraml/dry. This cream left my entire face SHINY never mind my just thee nose area etc. It gets a thumbs DOWN from me!

* Nivea Visage Regenerating Night Cream for Normal/Combination Skin: Superdug - Half price sale £1.99 i think *

I've never bought a night cream before -$ im not really a huge skin person. So i thought i would just buy this little tub, it was half price in superdrug anyway. It says that its for combination skin. Well, you dont need to apply alot, just a little cus it spreads easily however it looks like you dipped your face in a frying pan .. especially in the MORNING. I have to get a towel and dab my face after i use this. I have been using this for about a week now, i havent noticed any significant differnce in my skin, however it is a bit smoother and the redness in my cheeks has been toned down abit.

* Nivea Visage Oil Free Moisturising Fluid: Superdrug - Half price sale £1.99 i think also *

I bought this because the simple one was quite a fail as i said above ^ This actually keeps my skin nice and matte for a good wean a hours :) then i just top up with a little bit of powder .. However my skin does feel a bit tight when it dries in :( my search goes on .

* Barry M Nail Polishes in: Mushroom and Grey: Boots 2 for £4 or £5 *

I have been meaning to pick Mushroon up for a while but everytime i remember to look for it when im out shopping it seems to be outta stock :( but then i found it in boots and it was on offer so i picked it up and the Grey one. I realy like Mushroom :) Not so much the Grey shade though, it comes out like a dark navy on my nails which im not that fond of.

* Creamy Beige Lace Crochet Waist Belt: Dunnes Stores - £4 *

* Black Lace Crochet Waist Belt: Dunnes Stores - £4 *

* 3 Pairs of patterned tights from Primark *

* MAC Powder Blush in Melba *

I was looking for a peachy MAC powder blush and picked this up. I wasnt so sure at the start, it seemed such of a bold colour, but when you use a light hand i think its really pretty. Its super pigmented and will last ages. It also lasts all day on my face which is a plus + : )

* MAC Creme 'de nude Lipstick *

This is described as a peachy lipstick i think ? However i think it looks a little pink on me and i cant really wear pink because of my red hair :( i have mixed it with Rimmel nude delight and think its quite wearable. Its my first Mac lipstick and i really like it! Its a cremesheen and is so softiee soft lol it just glides on and has a lovely shine to it.

* Gold Bag Charm: Primark £2.50 or £3.50 *

* Cameo Ring: Primark - £2 i think *

* Gold Bird Brooch: Primark £1 *

* 3 Tiny rings: Matalan - £5 *

If anyone has any recommendations for a face moisturiser for combination/oily skin could you share ..

Pretty please? :)
