Eau Thermale Avène Review

So for my birthday I got a few of the Avène products. I am very happy with them and will definitely be buying them in the future when I run out of my current stock. They are a bit on the pricey side, but if you have sensitive skin like me, they are perfect. I have to be careful in electing face care products as I can get eczema on my lips, so I need very natural products. The Avène range has given me no problems at all and it leaves my skin feeling very soft and it feels very light on the skin as opposed to other creams that leave your skin feeling greasy. I believe you can buy the range at 'Boots' in the UK, but I am not sure how to get hold of them/where to buy them anywhere else.

To conclude, I would definitely recommend buying this range if your skin is very sensitive like mine.

Summer Clothes Haul

Hey guys, it's been a while since a clothes haul, but I hope you all enjoy this one :) I've been shopping in the summer sales and have been picking up a few things from Urban Outfitters, New Look, Topshop, H&M and Joules. 

Ivory Crochet Top from Urban Outfitters sale - £15
This is quite possibly my favourite top at the moment!

Denim Light Wash Studded Shorts from New Look - £22.99
These weren't in the sale but I had a £25 gift voucher for New Look and when I saw these I was like OMG I have to get them!! They are definitely a tight fit, so not for those who seek comfort clothing :P

Grey Top from Urban Outfitters Sale - £14
This was actually a buy one get one free offer in their summer sale deal, so I got another top for free, but I let my sister choose a top for herself - she picked out a white top with a black and white watercolour skull design on the front.

Black & White Stripey Vest from H&M - £2
This is my bargain buy! 

Union Jack Scarf from Joules - £19.95
A very patriotic buy ;) it has a vintage look to it and I loved it the moment I saw it.

Coral Tropical-Print Bikini from Topshop- A birthday present
This was a birthday present from my family, so I don't know how much it was, but I don't think it was in the sale, so it was probably £20+

And that is my little summer clothing haul - I've also been buying a lot of Jewellery recently, so that'll come in a separate blog post within the next couple of days :)
