River Island Haul

I managed to haul myself to the shops (thank god) crutches and all, ahh the sympathy looks. I ended up having a nice splurge in River Island.

I tried on a beautiful brown/black patterned blouse, it was stunning. However it was £30 and then I saw this for £35;

Haven't had a new bag in ages. It was about time. It's laaavely! I'm really loving the blue and white stripes with brown leather, I've seen a few bags similar and I think they're gorgeous. I was actually surprised this was £35 because sometimes River Island can be really expensive for what you're getting.

I also (as it was quiet and therefore not stressful; no women hitting you with handbags) had a peruse of the sale rack and picked up these two little lovelies;

The wee faun t-shirt that says "where do we go from here?" was just £5 and you can never have too many t-shirts. The hoody was £12 and every time I'm going to T in the Park or any other festival I always realise I don't have enough big comfy hoodies, so this whilst being a bit too big (obviously they didn't have a 10 or 12, only an 8 or 14) will be perfect for festivals and bumming around the house.

I also picked up in the sale a pair of boots. I have the exact same pair in black/grey and wear them all the time and these were reduced to £15 so an absolute steal as they are normally £65.

They're so pretty :) I forgot how tight they were at the top when I first got them mine are all loose now. I wore the left one the other day, have to say I'm sure sure how much brown goes with black chunky moon boot. 

Last thing, promise, I got a new going out dress. I saw this online and fell for it. It was only £30 and my mother liked it too. 

I just really loved the cut of this dress at the top, and the lace. It's gorgeous and really nice on. It's lace down the back as well, it's a bit different to most of the lace dresses around that I've seen. I shall be wearing it to my friend's 20th. I'm hobbling to the pub (where if I get steaming drunk the boyfriend will be there to chivalrously carry me home).

That's all folks ;) xxx

NAIL me baby ;) twice.

I've wanted this colour for ages. I love greens and dark greens. Gorgeous, this was only £2 because I had a £5 off No7 voucher (bargain!).

Totally Teal. Totally gorgeous... (see what I did there ;) I really need to hobble out more).

It's gorgeous in two coats. I think it's lovely definitely one of my new favourites and I'm so glad I finally managed to buy it (much to the boyfriends anger at yet another nail polish, he just doesn't understand).

Mmmm. Yummy. However, I also decided to put my other new polish on over the top. (At this point be wary of a lot of photos) This is why you'd be nailing me twice ;) teehee. Yes I'm a fourteen year old boy.

I saw Revlon Galaxy on Amazon for a lot less than it normally is in Boots and as I loved 'Faucets of Fuchsia' so much I thought "well, why not".

And actually because I'm a bit of a tool I didn't see that it was a top coat and ended up just wearing glitter for a few days... oh to be 5 years old again. 

But this is them together;

I have to say I do rather like it. The photo isn't amazingly clear (apologies) but it just adds a little extra oomph to the polish. 

Have a nice day my chumlets. xxx

P.S on a more topical note did anyone see the tennis today? More importantly Nadal and Djokovic topless... mmmmm. Worth stumbling out of bed for I'd say. 

She who waits...

Having a broken foot does have it's benefits.... Which happens to be a Benefit product;

I can't tell you how long I've wanted this. I had to choose between this and Benetint last time. But lucky for me mum has boots points.

I've wanted a highlighter for aaaages, sometimes I think just a little bit of blusher and highlighter looks much more elegant than lots of blush and this is really beautiful! I'm so grateful to my mother for splurging on the £18.50 ( I think) which she could have spend on herself.

It's a lovely creamy texture and is really blendable I think it would be easy to mix with foundation, but I've just been putting it on top. It does have a slight shimmer but nothing over the top or obvious, just enough to catch the light. It's gorgeous!

I've been on a bit of a shopping splurge recently so expect hauls :)
Goodbye my chums hope you're all well! xxx

Smell me baby ;)

I was perusing Boots the other day and I went over to check how much my favourite Flake Away by Soap & Glory and I saw this little beauty:

(from Web)

I cannot describe how amazing this smells to me! It is absolutely delish! The Lime in it (in my expert opinion) makes it smell amazing. 

It is £8.00 from Boots . 

I really think I will have to go treat myself. Or perhaps due to my broken foot I'll order it online and wait for it to get to me :) It truly smells amazing, possibly better than the other two scrubs... Think I'll need to get it and get back to you on that. 

Stay smelling beautiful!

Mini Boots Haul

Essays result in mad online shopping :| Which I cannot afford trust me. Expect River Island and H&M posts soon.

But onto the Boots stuff that I can't afford but bought anyway. Late nights writing essays do this to me, however, the third one has been handed in it's DONE! Boom!

Firstly, I shall show Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick I bought the other day. I Love this lipstick! I think it really suits me (pale ginger over here :( difficult colouring) so it's a lovely colour I can wear lightly during the day;

 It really is a lovely colour, its a perfect mix of brown and pink.

(attempted swatch but the camera just growled) 

So onto far more exciting things I decided to buy Soap and Glory's Lid Stuff. I have to say it is a good as they say. 

The colours are; Top left: Vanilla, Top Right: Pink T, Bottom Left: Mudhoney, Bottom Right: Aubersheen. 

They are lovely but I'd have to say the vanilla is difficult to build up you have to take a lot of it to get the colour, but then it is a light colour. They are very smooth, soft and will definitely be easy to blend which is an absolute essential. So for me this is a top product and I'm very pleased I parted with £10 to buy it. 

I also got (recommended by a friend) Models Own lip balm in Blackberry;

 It looks really dark in the pot and this scares the ginger in me but the swatch reassures me that it doesn't come out so highly pigmented.

So that's my mini haul. I did buy a nail varnish but it wasn't very nice :( bad times. 

I also meant for my next post to be about my Rifles gig that I went to on Saturday but I just got too excited by my Boots arrival. Oh well. 

Much Love. x
