Big Ass Birthday Haul | Beauty and the Basics #DionneTurns22

Image
OMG. So, for the weekend of my birthday I did the hugest haul. We went over to Cheshire Oaks, and of course this was the perfect time to go as the January sales are coming to an end, meaning prices are at an all time low, and as nobody has any money after Christmas, they wont be heading to the shops mid Jan! For those of you that don't know, Cheshire Oaks is a designer outlet in the UK that features some of my all time favourite brands, including All Saints, Diesel and The Kooples.

However, it's all good and well telling you all to have this skin care regime in place and buy all these fancy shmancy products, when you don't know actually how half of it works and what it is doing to your skin.
