Recent Purchases! Featuring Yankee Candle & Revlon!

So my plan of not spending money on random stuff and saving up for my holidays isn't exactly going as planned! One little relapse is ok, right?

So on one of my usual trips to the Yankee Candle shop for a browse, I bought this small jar of "Paradise Spice" and a sampler of "Margarita Time"! I thought they were so lovely and fresh, they are the most summery Yankee Candles ever! After buying them I had £10.00 off on my reward card so I decided to get a big jar. The new Yankee Candle summer scents are amazing, but in the end I went for "Citrus Tango" - I love citrusy scents and this one is divine! I am trying to burn them one at a time, so as you can see Paradise Spice has been my first choice. It smells like pineapples!

So… you know Boots have 3 for 2 at the moment and I really wanted to try some Revlon stuff. I have heard so much about Revlon but I honestly have never tried anything from the brand, apart from a foundation. I know I really wanted a Lip Butter and I chose the shade Juicy Papaya! It is a great coral shade for summer. I also really wanted to try one of the Electric Chrome nail polishes, inspired by the new Amazing Spider-man 2 film. I chose Super-Powered, a gorgeous metallic blue. I love this shade, and I love the cute bottle with the spiderweb detail on the lid.
So of course I needed to pick a third item! And that item was one of the new scented nail polishes. The only colour I really wanted was this nice hot pink colour. This one is called African Tea Rose, and after trying this one I can safely say I do not like the scent! It is a bit overpowering at times and is a very strong, smells like a horrible perfume. The colour is nice though!

So, a slight relapse but hopefully I shall regain some self control and not buy anything else for a few weeks!

OPI "The Amazing Spider-Man" Mini Collection

I had no idea OPI had a Spider-Man collection until I was browsing Amazon one night. I am quite a big fan of the Spiderman films, of course I could not resist these pretty polishes!

 L-R: Into the Night, Number One Nemesis, Just Spotted the Lizard, Your Web or Mine

 So the only one I have tried so far is "Just Spotted the Lizard", which is a greeney blue gold. I never knew there was such a colour!

The mini OPI bottles are a bit fiddley to use but I thought this polish applied excellently and I cannot wait to try out the other shades. I did not really expect this one to look so "gold" on the nail.

There is one other polish from the Spiderman collection which I really want and did not come in the set, "Call Me Gwenever" which is a lovely orange shade.

I'll definitely post more pics when I try out the other polishes!
