So do you ever get that feeling when it's a little dull outside and you're feeling a little bit down because the sun's gone after a long period of nice weather, and you had just kind of gotten used to it... But then bam, heaven's gates open and there's the rain and the clouds... And you're like "Pfff... I need to go out and buy something to make me feel a little better!" :-)
Well, that's the feeling I was having yesterday morning.
So on my lunch break, I decided I needed to get outside and I went to The Body Shop (new @ Brussels South Railway Station!!! Best decision they ever made to reopen a store there!). There had been a few things I had already seen before but always doubted buying. But yesterday, I thought "Oh well, I'm gonna buy a few things this time!" lol
The first thing I got my hands on was the Shimmer Waves Bronzer in the shade Coral. I love these pinkish colours. I had been considering buying the Chanel Les Beiges' new Les Marinières bronzer, but eventually decided I was gonna go for the more budgetty one.
Next thing I got was a lipstick in the shade Colour Crush. There was a whole line of, like a meter or so, of lipsticks to test and choose from but this was the one that kind of immediately captured my attention. It's a very peculiar colour, I think. It's a little flashy, very neony... but perfect for a hot summer day!
Then I noticed all the brushes and thought I needed a face brush for my new bronzer, so I got the Face & Body brush. When I got home and unpacked it, I was really surprised by the softness of it. It just feels very fluffy and I'm really happy with it. Brushes are, for beauty lovers of course, very important and sometimes it's difficult to decide which ones to buy best. But I'm glad I got this one.
Talking about brushes, during one of my previous hauls, I'd already gotten the Honey Bronze Brilliance Powder, in shade Copper Shimmer. It's basically a brush that adds like a golden shimmer to your skin. At that time it was on sale at the counter, you know, in one of those sales baskets they have (very tempting when you're on the verge of paying and you're like "hmm let's quickly add this one to my haul!). But ever since, I've loved it! Very summery as well (can you tell I love the summer?!). It actually surprised me that it was on sale back then, and ever since buying it, I see it everywhere. Friends talking about it, beauty blogs, in magazines... Weird!
Then, because I'd bought for over 35 EUR and I'm in possession of a The Body Shop card, the ladies at the shop were very nice to offer me a Coconut Shimmer Body Butter for free. Now I'm usually not a fan of anything coco, but I tried this and much to my surprise, it smells really nice. So I'm definitely going to use it!
So there you have it, that's what I bought. And yes, I did feel much better afterwards! ;-)
