F&F Galaxy Glow Face Highlighter (Pic heavy)

 I've never really tried highlighters and the ones I may have quickly swatched or read about have been powder highlighters. Recently my local Tesco Extra had a sale on in the make-up aisle so I ran like lightning! I came across this little box, not really knowing what it was until I popped open the box.

 Out comes this beautiful glass jar which looks unbelievably sleek and sophisticated for a supermarket brand. Then I saw it was a highlighter that was a cream which made me jump for joy!



As you can see, it's a gorgeous off-white colour with a slight bit of shimmer in which is perfect for highlighting beneath your under eye area and on the tops of your cheek bones. I was worried how this would come out. At first look I expected the product to be hard and more of a lip balm like hard consistency which would result in difficult application but this was the complete opposite! 
 It was smooth like a buttery/,creamy sort of texture which was a dream to apply! It wasn't greasy or overly shiny which some highlighters can be. It applied a decent amount of time, but not all day like the rest of my makeup. But it did a good job at lasting a reasonable length of time throughout the day.  I got this in the sale for about £1-£2 which I really can't complain at. It's original price and price online at Tesco is £4.75 which is such a reasonable price for such a good product in such lovely packaging.
Overall, I really love this product and I think it really is a worth while buy.
Have you bought anything from the F&F makeup line?

Recent Purchases #2 (Pic heavy)

So I've gradually been picking up little bits and pieces over the past few weeks so I thought I'd show you what I got!

This is when Body Shop had their sale on. I picked up this passion fruit scented body butter for a fiver! £5 is a bargain that I just couldn't leave there. Smells so gooooood. 
Tesco recently had a little sale on too! I have a Tesco Extra where I live so they basically stock everything! There's an eye primer which is from the company "Along Came Betty". I'd never heard of it before, have any of you? Also Tesco's own brand F&F have a makeup selection which I ended up picking up the Galaxy Glow highlighter and the All About Nails nail varnish which were marked down to only 19p each!!
Below are the shades Purple Rain and Emerald (L to R)



Everyone has been talking about the Maybelline Colour Show nail varnishes so I've finally got my hands on some after the great reviews.
I have Green With Envy, Tutti Fruity, Sugar Crystals (L to R)


I was naughty and bought another Baby Lips. This one is Cherry Me. Again, smells amazing!
