My desire post #4 London edition!

Hello everyone! It's Margaret!
Since I'm planning to go to London again, I'm now trying to make a list of some little beauty related British treasures... Today I want to share with you my choices, but if you have any other recommendations feel free to leave them in the comments!
Boots will be my dreamland!

- Boots Botanics 97% Organic Hot Cloth Cleansing balm - 8.99£ - Link

 

So curious about this stuff! I think I'll use this during cold months because it's quite rich and thick and not the best option during summertime for those with combination skin like me! I want to try it both because it has a reasonable ingredient list and because I can't afford the super hyped Emma Hardie one. I think it's a good compromise. Also, in Italy they're not that popular as in other countries. 

- Soap & Glory The breakfast scrub - 8£ - Link

 

Last year, I was obsessed with this stuff and I wanted to get it, but as soon as I smelled the Flake away Scrub I couldn't resist. I still remember the Breakfast scrub and its lovely perfume though and now I desperately want to try it!

- Origins Balanced diet Lightweight Moisture Lotion - 23£ - Link

As I said multiple times, I have combination skin: this means that I get both spots and dry patches - Brilliant! I'm always looking for a good moisturizer - light but hydrating enough. The Origins one seems to be suitable for my skin type although the price is ridiculously high. I still want to give it a go though because Origins is a well-known brand which uses good and reliable ingredients.

- Collection Lasting perfection concealer in Fair 1 - 4.19£ - Link

The number one of high street concealers!! I can't rave about this stuff enough,  it's glorious! 

- Rimmel Stay matte powder - 3.99£ - Link 

 Best drugstore setting powder I've tried so far, it matches my skin colour perfectly but I've noticed that it also gives some coverage. Great product :)

- Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in conditioner - 4.99£ - Link

 

 I know, technically this is an Australian brand, but I'm sure it's a bit more difficult for me to go to Australia :) I've heard so much about this, it's supposed to be hydrating, smoothing and should make your hair shiny: need to try this!

That's it for this post! As you can see I love surfing the net, looking for some British and non-British beauty gems eheh. This is my list but it could eventually grow: if you have any other recommendations about beauty products and make up I should pick up from London, make sure to leave them in the comments - I would really appreciate that! If you want to check out my previous London beauty haul, here's the link! 

Thank you so much for reading!

Lots of love,

London beauty haul!

Hello everyone!
I'm soooo excited because I've been to London for the weekend and it was so amazing! Seriously, the best city I've ever visited. My brother and I had great time together and we saw many different areas, such as Soho,Chinatown, Kensington, South Bank, Westminster and everything was so beautiful! Seriously, I want to live there, I'm in love with the underground... :)
While I was in Italy I planned where to go shopping and I even asked you in this post what I should get, so let's start with this beauty haul!!

 First, I went to Boots, oh my gosh this is the best store I've ever seen: offers, awesome beauty brands, lovely women ready to help you! I immediately get lost (ahaha) but I asked for help :D I saw Soap & glory and I took the Flake away body scrub (thank you Olivia for your suggestion!), which smells heavenly! 

I started sniffing every product and I fell in love with the Clean on me, this is... fricking amazing! I could not get the full size because of the luggage weight so I took 2 smaller bottles :)

 Oh, let's just stare at it. Isn't it a masterpiece? The Origins stand was gorgeous but I decided to get only this little treasure (Super spot Remover) because it's not cheap at all!!

 And then, here it comes: the concealer everyone talks about and everyone loves. I finally got my hands on the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer and I do not regret. It gives the most flawless finish to my skin!

 

Bourjois is not available in Italy so I couldn't waste the chance :) I had my eyes on the Flower Perfection foundation for a while and I love it! I immediately used it and... what else can I say, big thumbs up!

 I got the Healthy mix Serum foundation for my mum, because she asked me to get something for her too, so I decided to take this, which promises radiant skin (She loved it, yes!)

 After all these 'goodies', my second stop was The Body shop, it's so cute! The girls are lovely and nice! After staring at all their products, I decided to get the Banana Shampoo and conditioner (which were part of their bestsellers): I can't wait to try them!

It was love at first sniff with this little Mango body lotion, I just couldn't stop myself: 2£, I mean 2£!!!!!

And then the Coconut Body butter, I'm sure you all know this product really well :) It has an amazing, fresh and balanced smell, one of the best ever!

 To style my hair I was used to using the John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum, which was full of chemical ingredients such as Petrolatum and Paraffin. After seeing Essiebutton's post about her hair routine I thought that the Coconut oil hair shine could be a better alternative.

 I wanted to try some skincare too, but I was not sure of what to get so I picked up the Vitamin E kit: I can try basically every product to know if these agree well with my skin :)

 I know, it's early for eye creams but lately I have pretty bad dark circles and my eye contour is really dry so I got this, I will definitely try it out!

 Ta da! This is the king of my purchases! The Real Techniques Core Collection is finally here with me!! Do you remember? I put this in my Desire post (here)! I had to look at 6 Boots stores to find it!!

 This is the mythic Buffing brush.... Speechless! :)

 The detailer brush for concealer and eyes.

 The Pointed foudation brush, interesting!

 The contour brush!

 My last beauty stop was Lush. Since I have this brand in Italy too, I only got the Honey Trap lip balm: 

BEST BALM EVER! I had to repurchase because I ran out of it and it costs less than in Italy!

One little tihing! My London pen! I will use it to remember this unforgettable trip!

So that's it for my beauty haul! I know, I went a bit crazy, but I only got things that I can't find here! :)

My clothing haul will be up really soon!!
Please feel free to ask me any review of these things! I'd love to help you out!

What do you think of the products I got?

I really hope you enjoyed it!

Love, 

Margaret

I need your beauty suggestions!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm chilling at home and surfing the net :)
You have to know that I'm going to London in a month and I'm super super duper excited. You can't imagine. :D  aaaand since I will arrive in Wonderland I'm thinking about getting some special British products which I can't find in Italy.... yaaay!

I've already taken some notes about some must haves, just like the Collection 2000 Lasting perfection concealer and the Real Techniques brushes :)

I was at the Boots website a few hours ago and I saw the Soap & glory brand: oh my god, everything seems so yummy and good! I'm really interested in getting something and I feel like their body scrubs are amazing, what would YOU suggest me to get? They have so many products! You can find here the link to their website! I trust you and I'm sure you know this brand a lot better than me!

Oh, one more thing!!!!!! If there are some other must-have products, please feel free to tell me in the comments what you think because I need your suggestions!

So: 

Which body scrub would you suggest me to get? 

What are your must-have products?

Thank you girls! 

Love, 

Margaret
