Fashion and beauty haul...

Hey everyone, 

So I've totally forgot to do this post... I was meaning to do this a few weeks ago when I originally brought everything :( but its better late than never!

So during half term which was a little while back now, I seemed to have accumulated quite a lot of clothes, jewelry etc. I thought I'd show you what I got because I love looking at other blogs and youtubers to see what they get too.

Lets delve into it... 

My dress

The dress online on a model

This first item of clothing above was from bank fashion and is such a simple piece that you can basically pair with anything! It's a grainy grey colour that is so soft to touch and very comfy to wear. Its an oversized dress that is perfect to wear slouching around or just add some rings and a necklace and you're ready to go out and about. p.s. it was £23.00

❤❤❤

This next item of clothing I got was such a bargain...only £15.00!!! It was from H&M and I love it!!! It has a lovely almost quilted texture on it and although it might not like it in my pictures... its also very fitting.

❤❤❤

Then I also brought a pair of plain black skinny jeans from H&M which were only £7 or £8!

❤❤❤

Then I brought these shoese above for yet again a bargain of only £7! They are so cute on and remind me of old fashioned school shoes :) They're also really to pair with an outfit to make it dressy.

❤❤❤

Then I brought this floppy hat above for around £13-£15 which I intend to wear in the summer or when the weather gets nicer which... fingers crossed will happen.

❤❤❤

Then I just got some basic knitted tights in this burgundy/purple colour that I can wear with just about anything to keep me warm and cosy.

❤❤❤

These final items are the jewellery and some beauty bits I brought:

The first jewellery piece I got was this link bracelet from accessorize for £5... I love the coloured strap of this bracelet which is what drew my eyes to it in the shop and also, the colour of the links is almost edging onto a rose gold colour and I love rose gold anything!

❤❤❤

Then I brought some midi rings...

The one of the left is a tiny little diamante bow that gives a little girly accent to your look and to the left is something a bit more edgy. They are both gold and the ring on the left is almost like two rings stacked but joint together with a little bar in the middle. I love to stack up my rings to add a bit of glam to a casual outfit and also... river island sell midi rings for only like 2 or 3 pounds!

❤❤❤

And finally... I brought some new mascaras to try out and I am very impressed with both and currently use the collection volumizing mascara on the left in the coral packaging because it doesn't transfer throughout the day at school or in the weekends because its waterproof.

Thank you for reading... I hope you enjoyed this post, tell me what your favourite item is out of this or tell me what you've brought recently that you'd recommend!

(p.s. sorry for the angles of the photos... I haven't yet found a good way of photographing items for my blog)

Mini makeup and beauty haul

Hey everyone, 

So I had a busy day shopping yesterday and spent some of my money on some items I've been wanting for a long time and have definitely been needing! P.s I brought everything mentioned from superdrugs x

So the first 2 things I brought were the Collection long lasting concealers in Fair-1 and Light-2. I wasn't sure which shade I was so I brought both. I've heard a lot about them on youtube and blogs. I have to say they definitely are well worth the amount of hype they have been given! I know I've only had them for a very very short time but so far I am very impressed. They give such good coverage and for such a small price I would definitely recommend them! 

L-R Light,2 and Fair,1

I got mine for £4.19 each...

As you know if you read my previous blog posts, I've mentioned I loved the maybelline age rewind concealer and I definitely have and it's only just starting to dry up slightly which is why I needed to get a new concealer.

The next thing I also brought because I was running out of it and it is the Rimmel Stay matte powder in warm beige (006). 

I've used this powder for about a year now and a few months ago hit pan on it and ever since then I seem to use it up so much quicker. So I brought the same powder in the same shade for £3.99. Which is really affordable and lasts a long time.

I the brought an eyelash curler. My eyelashes never really curl up so I thought id buy an eyelash curler and start curling my eyelashes to see if it makes a difference. I brought my one for £6.99. I could have brought a cheaper one for about £4 but I thought this one would be better for the price and it looked pretty hehe

I brought the Revlon Diamond Collection lash curler which is hot pink and has pink diamontes on the top part which is so cute and girly. I think it makes a difference but I'm not really sure if I'm using it right at the moment because it's my first eyelash curler :)

I was also needing a new mascara so I brought the Revlon lash potion for £5 and I'm going to see if I like it. So far it looks fine, I've tried it out on my eyelashes and I like the look of it, it seperates them and makes them stand out.

I also love the packaging hehe :D (also, if you know any other mascaras that are good please leave me a comment below as I'm looking for more to try out x)

The final thing I brought I spotted as I was about to pay and it is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I brought it for £4.99 and adore it so far. It has to be the best cleanser and makeup remover I have ever used. For such a cheap price I couldn't resist trying it out and you get 400ml!!!!!! 

When I use it, it takes off all of my makeup quickly and thoroughly and doesn't dry out quick so I have enough time to remove all of my makeup without having to keep applying more to the cotton pad, unlike previous cleansers and makeup removers I have used.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul, comment below any blog posts you'd like to see me do and tell me any cheeky purchases you've made recently x

ELF 50% off Cosmetics haul

Hey everyone, 

So around about last week, ELF had a 50% off discount on all of their products if you ordered online so I that I wouldn't miss the opportunity so I brought lots of stuff from their website :) I was so excited to find out that ELF had 50% off of your whole order because it meant that I could get double the amount of stuff for the same price that I was willing to spend.... In my case, I got £40 worth of makeup for about £23 (including p&p). I've never ordered anything from ELF before but I know that a lot of people use their products because they are very affordable and very close dupes to Nars products. I have to say that I am really pleased with all that I got and I would definitely order from them again!

Lets get into showing you what I got... (I already took everything out of its packaging)

p.s. I mention the full prices and not what they were when everything was half off :)


So this is all what I got:

So this first thing i'll talk about is the ELF High Definition Powder in Shimmer = £6

Link to buy 

I spotted this on the website and it looked very appealing to me and I love shimmer so I thought that I'd have a go with wearing it and i'm so glad that I got it! It sets my makeup and prevents it from creasing but also gives my face a little shimmer/sheen that is visible in the light. It doesn't look cakey at all when it is on my skin and it was very good value for money because you get a large pot of it for £6 whereas most over powders are kind of compact and you don't get as much product but still have to pay the full price for it. 

Anyway..lets stop rambling on about this product and move to the next thing which I brought...

I've heard about this being talked about before and it being said that it is very similar to the Sleek Contour Kit but it is the lightest colour which is thought to be very similar but I brought the Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzer in the colour Antigua which is much darker than the Sleek Contour Kit. I am very impressed with this product, it is so pigmented and looks very natural on my skin when it is blended in, especially the bronzer. Whereas with some other bronzers, on my skin they are too warm and orangey... and it was only £3.75!

The next thing that I brought was one of their All Over Colour Sticks in the colour Persimmon. 

This product is great if you are looking for something cheap that gives a good, lasting sheen that can have multiple uses. This all over stick can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks. I like to use it as a highlight on my cheek bones because when I move my head in the light, you can see the slight sheen and gives my skin a sort of glow.

I have to say that although this product looks very pretty, the actual product in the tube is quite hard at first but after a while if you keep using it, it will soften into a better shape which is easier to apply to your skin. But for only £1.50, I shouldn't really be complaining.

Onto the next product...

I have been needing an eyeshadow primer for a long time now but I didn't really want to spend a lot of money buying one if I start to use it and it isn't that good. So I brought their Eyelid Primer in Pearl...at first I was going to get it in Sheer but due to everyone going crazy and buying stuff from ELF, they went out of stock so I chose this colour but I'm so glad it did happen because this primer in Pearl is so much prettier than the sheer would've been! It has tiny sparkles in it so when it is blended out you can see tiny twinkles. 

I know I haven't really said any bad things about any of the products so far but they really are very good and I can't find any flaws in them. And this product is very good for £1.50 and it stops my eyeshadow from creasing and it doesn't wear off through the whole day that is unless I rub my eyes.

So the next 3 things are all Single Eyeshadows and I brought them in the shades:

Raspberry Truffle, Oatmeal and Sunset = £3.38 each

Oatmeal

Sunset

Raspberry Truffle

If you can't tell by now... I love shimmer haha :)

These eyeshadows are also very pigmented and I love using them! You don't have to pick up much product and the pay off is so good! I've worn these eyeshadows a few times now and they blend out very easily and aren't at all heavy on my skin. They all have slight shimmers in them which I love and they go very well now we are getting closer to winter especially the Raspberry Truffle because I love wearing darker colours now.

Link to buy

Next product...

The next product is the Studio Glitter Gloss in Glam Guava = £3.75 each

I brought 2 of these one for myself and another one for my mum: scentsandsparkles.blogspot.com

We both love glitter so this gloss was ideal and she didn't know that she was getting it and loves it! It does feel a little bit sticky but isn't something to put anyone off of buying it. It is probably one of the prettiest and sparkliest (not even a word haha) lip glosses I have ever owned! 

Link to buy

Finally, the last 4 products that I brought were all Jumbo Lip Gloss Sticks = £2.50 each

I brought the colours: Movie Star, Flirty & Girly, Pink Umbrellas and Tiki Torches.

L-R Pink Umbrellas, Flirty & Girly and Movie Star

(I gave my mum Tiki Torches as a present as well :))

I was expecting these to be very glossy but depending on the colour that you chose, they are either glossy and glittery or matte but they are all moisturising and not drying at all. Tiki Torches and Flirty & Girly were very shiny and glittery whereas Pink Umbrellas and Movie Star were slightly matte.

I hope that you all enjoyed reading this post... sorry that it was very long.

Mini Home Decor Haul

Hey everyone,

So this post is kind of going to be related to beauty in a way but its more home decor/lifestyle. So I've been getting some new bits in my room recently because I'm redecorating and I thought I'd share with you this inexpensive way to store your makeup palettes and where I got mine from.

So I went out shopping the other day and I noticed this: 

I know you've probably seen many people come up with this idea of storing makeup palettes before but I thought I'd show you my letter holder I now use...I'd seen it online before but I didn't order it because I wanted to take a look in the shops to see if there was any better ones and to see how big it is and if it will be big enough to hold my palettes. There were a few other letter holders in the shops but I liked this one because it was the right size for my makeup palettes and matches my colour scheme of my room and matches the furniture. 

So my letter holder was £3.99 from Dunelm Mill, which is very cheap but it's very pretty and it's strong, sturdy and it comes with little felt feet on the bottom so it doesn't scratch the surface. 

I definitely recommend you get one. Heres the link if you want to take a look online:
