Tesco Haul | February 2016

Today I'm going to doing another Tesco Haul. I did one in September 2015 and I enjoyed the making of it so I thought I would do another. If you would like to read my Tesco Haul | September 2015 click HERE . I didn't get as much as last time but I thought I would still show you. 
I want to add I bought these stuff a couple of days after Christmas as I'm actually writing this on New Years Eve 2015 as I'm writing loads of blog posts in advance so I did buy some Christmas food as it was on offer.

Tesco Anya Desk Pad- I got this desk pad to write all of the stuff I need to get down such as blog posts and homework. I have this on my desk and I do everything on top of it such as blogging, homework or making my notebooks look cute with washi tape. All in all, I really recommend getting a desk pad as you can easily see everything. Tesco only had this one but I wish they had more designs even though this one is super cute!

Bic Brite Liner Grip Highlighters- I then got this pack of highlighters for the desk pad to highlight everything. I thought I would get some thin ones as I always use thick ones so I thought I would have change. This pack also has a blue highlighter which my current one don't.

Tesco Neon Pink PP Sleeve- Lastly for stationery I got this small folder thing because it was on sale and it matches my ringbinder. I don't know what I'm going to use it for but I'm sure it will come in handy in the future. This was originally 75p but it was on offer for 50p so I thought I should pick it up.

Girlz Only Haircare Dry Shampoo- I finished my dry shampoo a couple of days before so I definitely needed to get a new one. I've never heard of this brand before (Girlz Only) and it is for dark and brown hair so I thought I would try it out. This was cheaper than Batiste so that was another reason why I got it.

Collection Super Size Fat Lash Mascara- I wanted to try a new mascara and I saw this Collection mascara which I hadn't seen before or heard about. I haven't tried this out yet but I'm looking forward to getting super volumized lashes!

Oreo Chocolate Creme Biscuits- I haven't had Oreos for ages so I thought I would get a pack as I wanted them. I got the chocolate filling one as I love these ones and prefer the chocolate ones to the normal filling ones but I always will prefer the mint ones but they're mega expensive for biscuits.

Extra Peppermint Gum- Basically this is an essential as I don't want bad breath. I always forget to buy a big pack so when I was queuing at the till I picked these up for 41p and peppermint is always my gum of choice

Swizzles Sweet Shop Favourites- This is where all the Christmas things start and I got this box of Sweet Shop Favourites as I like all of the sweets in here. I haven't opened these yet but I'm excited to crack these open!

Tesco Bakery Christmas Sprinkles Mini Doughnuts- I love mini doughnuts and I saw these chocolate sprinkles ones and I knew I had to eat the whole box which I have done now and they was very nice but sadly I won't be able to get me these any more. Crying face emoji :(

Tesco Puddings & Gingerbread Men Chocolates- Lastly I got these mini chocolates because they were only 25p so I thought I would get some as I didn't have enough bad food before! Obviously my New Year resolutions failed!

I really hope you enjoyed this post as I love doing hauls. I will probably do more of these in the future as I live right by a Tesco so I'm always going over there. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @_louisecarter_ where I post updates so if you want to keep up with me follow me on social media.
Thanks for watching

Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Zoella Beauty range which you can get in Superdrug or online internationally at Feel Unique. I have quite a few pieces from Zoe's beauty range so I thought I would review them in case you are looking to buy any. I have pieces from the orginal collection and the Tutti Frutti collection. Lets get on with the review...

Lace Collar Cosmetic/Coin Purse- This purse is so cute with the lace collar. This keeps all of my essentials in nicely so it's perfect to keep everything in your bag nicely if if you want to get a little purse/bag for your essentials so they're not all loose in your bag. The good thing about this is that it fits in most handbags so you can transfer this from bag to bag. This also have a wipe clean material which is good if anything spills so this is the perfect little purse for your bag.
Description- Keep all of your little treasures safe in this handy purse.

Just Say Yes Beauty Bag- Another makeup bag Zoe has in her range is the original sized makeup bag which is really nice and you could also use it as a pencil case as I used to. I love the inspirational quote on the front if you're ever feeling down or uninspired when applying your makeup or doing work. It's a great size as you would be able to fit your everyday face in this bag. This also has a wipe clean material which as I said is great, especially for a makeup bag. Lastly I also love the colours and especially the rose gold which is very Zoe.
Description- This adorable printed bag can store anything you need it to, keeping life super easy and organised!

Hey Roomie Room Diffuser- I really like this and thought it was a cute addition to her beauty range. This makes my room really nice and the scents lasts for quite a while which is great and means you don't have to repurchase it as it is £12, which isn't even really that expensive for a good room diffuser. It looks really cute which the Zoella printed bow and the box that you purchase it in is super cute. This has the scent from the original collection (if you know Blissful Mistful, it's the scent of that) which I really like.
Description- Surround yourself in a calming blend of white wood accents, sweet vanilla and soft floral notes. Now you can create your own serene space to relax and wind down.

Wonder Hand Moisturising Hand Cream- As the name suggests this is really moisturising which is really nice and not a con. The packaging is super cute and the rose gold is very Zoe which is a great personal touch. I love the motivational messages on the box which say 'High five' and 'Be the best version of you'. This smells really nice and smells like the room diffuser.
Description- Pamper hands with this heavenly hand cream, scented with a calming, feminine fragrance.  Enriched with luxurious ingredients including Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Aloe to leave your skin super silky.

Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub- This is really good and really smoothing. My skin feels really nice afterwards which means I would definitely repurchase and I will use it all. The packaging is super cute with the pastel yellow and the pink writing however the actual products isn't as cute which you would expect.
Description- Buff your way to snuggly-soft skin with this fresh, fruity scrub. Enriched with Acai and Blueberry, this body polish has a light, feminine fragrance to uplift and give you an instant burst of energy. With conditioning cocoa butter - lovely scrubbly!

Blissful Mistful Solid Fragrance- This is the perfect handbag essential as it's amazing for a quick scent boost. I love the tin as it fits in any bag and is really easy to open which for me is an essential.I love the scent of it and it lasts for quite a while which I didn't expect but it's not going to last all day as it's not a spritz
Description- Pop this handy tin in your bag so a swipe of serene scent is always at your fingertips.  With its feminine, floral notes, it’s a little pot of joy!

Fizz Bar- I have used the Tutti Frutti version of this but I didn't really like it but I actually prefer this one. It's such a cute product and an original idea. However I would go for a Lush product over this as I prefer colourful baths or a bubble bath and this doesn't really do anything to the bath.
Description- Zoella Beauty - A super bar of 8 fizzy cubes to make your bath time fizz! Drop1-2 cubes into warm running water for a fragrantly fizzy bath and some much needed wash your cares away me-time. Creates a fun fizzy bath for some much needed wind down time.

Kissy Missy Lip Balm- To be honest I was disapointed in this product as I had high hopes for it. It didn't really moisturise my lips as my lips were chapped. The colour is a nice coloour and would look better if the lip balm was better. I'm personally not a fan of lip balms in tubs so I would've prefer it in a stick form.
Description- Keep lips luscious and smooth with this cute-as-a-button balm.  It has a berry-delicious flavour and a hint of a tint for a subtle veil of colour. Enriched with extracts of Acai and Blueberry for a totally kissable pout.

I really hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you're going to be getting anything from the Zoella Beauty range. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @_LouiseCarter_ for updates!
