Mini Primark & Superdrug Haul

Primark is known for its cheap and cheerful jewellery but often some of the designs can look a bit tacky. However it’s fun to root through the jewellery stands and on this occasion I picked up some gorgeous bits that you would maybe never realise came from Primark.

I was most impressed with the rings I bought because there so pretty and have a vintage style to them. Another piece that I just love is the peace sign necklace which I bought in the sale for £1.00 which is a total bargain. All the pieces I came home with I imagine I could wear on a day to day basis and spruce up any outfit.

I also went into Superdrug as I was in need of a new concealer. Unfortunately the one I always buy had been discontinued. I bought a very similar one which I will be reviewing.

I got some more Johnsons dream wipes which I have reviewed here and used before. I noticed Johnsons have updated there packaging and they have branded the range of there wipes differently. Now theres more in the range and each product name has been altered. Despite this the product does look fairly similar but I haven’t tried them yet.

Pacifica ‘Waikki Pikake’ perfume roll on (£12)

Hey Girlies, hope you’re all well :)

Today I wanted to tell you all about a perfume I’ve been using which I really love and recommend.

I came across the Pacifica brand while away in The Moors, North Yorkshire in a gorgeous health shop, stocking lots of really great health and beauty items.

This was the first time I’d come across their Pacifica range but later googled it and many items can be bought online and also Amazon. Just type in Pacifica perfume ;)

There were about six different fragrances to choose from and in addition there was a choice of roll on, solid perfume or normal perfume.

I was instantly drawn to ‘Waikki Pikake’ for its jasmine and sandalwood scent. It’s has a sensuous and velvety aroma and loved it so much!

Beforehand I’d never really used or had any experience with roll on perfumes however thought it would be lovely to give them a go as there perfect to pop into your handbag.

I was unsure of the staying power of roll on perfumes. After using it for a month or so I found it to be above average. I don’t mind this as it’s easy to top up.

I found at £12.00 it was quite reasonably priced. I also adore the pretty packaging. I was tempted to buy other scents in the range as they were all lovely.

I’ve included a lil photo from the health shop, a full review on the health shop will be coming soon with more pics!
