A Few New Home Additions.

I thought I would do a small post about some of the new home items I've recently bought and loved. 

At the weekend my boyfriend treated me to this small Yankee Candle with the scent of Salted Caramel. It really does smell so delicious, and seriously makes you want to eat some salted caramel, it almost makes your mouth water! The smell hits you instantly as soon as you walk in to the room where the candle is, this even happens whilst the plastic is still on the candle and without the candle being lit. Which is fantastic because it makes the candle last longer because you don't feel the need to light it. If you hold the candle for only a minute too the smell transfers to your hand. Also, the candle was in the sale so only cost £1.20, I always feel that Yankee Candles are too expensive but whilst they are in the sale I can't resist. My only problem is that I wish I bought a few more, especially seeing as its only a small candle! But it was definitely a nice little gift off my boyfriend. I definitely need to invest in some more Yankee Candles too! Which is your favourite Yankee Candle smell?

Another great home item I am loving at the moment are these alphabet letter mugs from Matalan! I thought I would treat my boyfriend and I to some new mugs, at £2 a mug I couldn't resist. My boyfriend loves anything with typography designs on them so these mugs are perfect for him really. My only issue is now I have to find room for them in our kitchen, as I have a slight obsession with mugs so I may have too many...

What's New In My Beauty Bag.

One of the new items in my beauty bag include the Loreal Smoothing Resurfacing Primer, which I bought from Boots as part of an offer of 2 Loreal products for £15, the primer itself is sold for £14.29. This product is truly great, after applying the primer it really makes your make up stay put all day and improves the appearance of the make up, especially foundations and eyeshadows. I've also found that most primers have a slight unpleasant smell to them, whereas this primer really smells nice. I also love the texture of this primer, it feels like your applying strawberry mousse to your face, which feels both slightly odd but wonderful, and leaves your face feeling smooth and soft. I definitely recommend this primer!  

I also bought the Loreal Colour Riche lipstick in Tender Rose as part of the 2 for £15 from Boots. I have bought Loreal lipsticks in the past and definitely recommend them, especially their pink lipsticks. This lipstick is quite pale but is still visible when on, and provides a slight shine and glimmer. The lipstick also has a combination of omega-3 and Vitamin E, which is great because it feels like the lipstick is actually moisturising your lips at the same time too. This product is perfect to wear everyday, or at night for a subtle colour too. 

Recently I also received the Balance Me Moisture Rich Face Cream free with a magazine, and what a great freebie it is! I can't praise this moisturiser enough, it really does help make your skin so soft. I have been applying this product in the morning and before bed at night. What I also love about this moisturiser is the smell, it smells like rose turkish delight, even my boyfriend has commented on how great it smells. I would definitely recommend this product because it really does soften your skin without feeling too greasy. I will hopefully try out more of the Balance Me products in future. 

Have you used any of these products?
