Hello beautiful people,
As you may know, or not, I used to live in London few years ago. I spend 6 months of my life working really hard and my first goal was to learn a bit of english, and I’m so glad I did it…
Each time that my friends are planning to spend few days in London, they always ask for advice about how to do things in London.
Most of the time they wonder how to move around the city, tourist places to visit, where to do some shopping…
I’m just back from London, and took some pictures for you all around the city…
You’re going to have a series of posts about London this month :
- London Serie and haul (current post)
- London tour advice (tourism)
- London tour advice (shopping)
I hope you’ll enjoy this special series about London.
Haul :
I’m going once or twice a year in London to make a bit of shopping, tourism and see my friends. I didn’t buy a lot of things this time as I already went in London in April this year.
So let’s start first with a small and reasonable London haul in the following shops :
1. Boots
One thing I really wanted to buy in London this time was the Real Techniques 2 Miracle Mini Eraser Sponges that has just been launch on the market by the Chapman’s sisters also known as the Pixiwoo.
I really love Real Techniques products and wanted so badly to try this new sponge as the Miracle complexion sponge is a bit too big for my under eyes.
Another product I was looking for is the Scrub Your Nose In It by Soap and Glory which is a facial scrub.
I was also looking for the NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade Cannes for a really long time and finally found it in Boots.
I wanted to try the Face cleansing wipes by Simple that Ingrid Nielsen (that used to be called Miss Glamorazzy) loves so much and I also repurchase the Micellar cleansing water by Simple that I really like.
And last but not least, the best lip balm ever the Burt Bees Lip balm pomegranate (without cera microcristallina)
2. Superdrug
I like Superdrug shops, because you always find some great stuff really affordable from brands that we can not find in France or Belgium like MUA, Collection, BarryM, MakeUp Revolution, n°7…
So here all the discoveries that I made this time :
Revolutions Strobe highlighter in moon glow lights shade
MUA shimmer highlighter in Radiant Cashmere
Collection Contour kit highlight and sculpt (no shade mentioned)
Collection long lasting nail polish french manicure in color French Pink. I bought the same nail polish years ago and I love it so much. I thought it was discontinue. I was so happy to find it again.
Naturally radiant 2 in 1 moisturizer and serum by Superdrug :
In Superdrug, you find regularly some great deals like buy one, get one for free.
This time, for 2 skincare products bought you had a gift set from the brand Patisserie de bain (that I absolutely don’t know).
So with my friend we bought 2 skincare products and share the gift set and I kept the Hand and body lotion.
3. Lush
Dark Angels is one of my favorite product ever from Lush. It’s an amazing facial scrub that I really like and couldn’t resist to buy a new one, as my current one is almost finished…
It’s quite impressive to use it the first time as it’s black, but it really worth the try.
4. Primark
I didn’t buy so much things in Primark.
Concerning the clothes, I just buy few basics like shorts to sleep, some socks, a white blouse with thin black stripes.
Concerning the beauty things, I found some hair spring and some glass nail files
5. Conclusion
London is one of my favorite cities ever. There is so many great things to do around from tourism, to shopping, music, arts, food…
I hope this mini series will show you the entire beauty of this amazing city that I love so so much.
