I little summer beauty haul #feelingspendy

Hello lovelies,
The other day I made the disastrous decision when going to pick up my new macbook (eeek!). To have a little look in the other shops in my local shopping centre (Kingsgate, Hudddersfield if you were wondering). It's only tiny and so as a consequence I usually head for the bigger Meadow Hall or Trafford centre, but I hadn't been to Kingsgate for ages soo thought I'd give it a look. The damage done can be seen below...


First up was The Bodyshop which had a sale on (look how much I saved!!) plus I have a discount card soo I dont think it was too naughty...



Firstly I got some shower gels which to be fair I didnt have any backs up of, I am OBSESSED with the sweet lemon limited edition scent and have been trying to get hold of the shower gel as I have everything else (thanks to my darling fiance). So when I saw them on sale I had to buy two right? 

I also bought the English Dawn White Gardenia fragrance which is the most gorgeous, fresh, floral scent I have ever owned, plus the bottle is pretty stunning and will look lovely on my dressing table. Bodyshop fragnrances have such strong, lasting power, especially for there price (I got this on sale for £10!).


Lastly was a make-up item the Bodyshop, Smokey Plum, Eye Definer. which when swatched I find to be more of a browm with a subtle purple shimmer running through it, it is very soft and pigmented. I love the smudger on the other end which is a lovely addition, great for streamlining your make-up bag.

I then bobbed into Topshop to pick up an item in their limited edition Five Year anniversary rose gold packaging (what a mouthful). I hadn't got round to going earlier soo they were low on products in the rose gold, but I found a lipstick I wanted in the shade Innocent, a lovely pale "barbie" style pink. 

Such lovely packaging.
Shade; Innocent
I then picked up a Sheer Lips in the shade "Play With Fire", a lovely peachy, coral it adds a subtle but noticeable wash of moisturising colour.

Kin&Co - Abersoch

In the quiet seaside town on abersoch nestled between surf shops is the cutest little independent coffee shop. It serves a selection of teas, barista coffees and hot chocolate as well as freshly squeezed juices. Food wise they serve a range of cakes as well as brunch options such as Croisants, Topped toast, pancakes and waffles with sweet and savoury toppings. 

The whole shop has a really chic, cool vibe and dogs are welcomed with was a bonus (Ollie really enjoyed himself and all the extra attention). The staff were really friendly and the sofas especially were very comfy (I couldnt resist returning the next day and found the modern/retro wooden benches to be just as nice).
