HAUL!

Hello lovelies, so I've been shopping again, online shopping on this occasion. I've ended up buying quite a few nail polishes. I ordered them from fragrance direct, some of you may have heard of it. They basically do make up and perfume at cheaper prices than what they are retailed for. I bought £13 worth of make up, which should've been over £45! 





I purchased eight nail polishes and one lipstick, which was Rimmel's Kate Moss shade 26 and it was just two pound! 
Then I also got some essie nail polishes which were all £2, £6 cheaper than the retail price! I got Fear and Desire, Mojito Madness and Off The Shoulder. £6 for all three instead of £24 at retail price, I feel I got quite a little bargain there, which is more than a good excuse for buying them.
Lastly I got Rimmels 60 Seconds nail polishes which were £1 each!! I already had two of these in Blue My Mind and Green With Envy, I bought both of these in boots a year ago and I always really liked them, they dry really fast plus they're even easier to apply. So when I saw them for £1 each I couldn't resist buying one or two or five. I got Pink Punch, Ready, Aim, Paint, Instyle Coral, Blackout and Camouflage. They're all 8ml but as you may have noticed in the picture Camouflage is actually bigger than all the rest and is 12ml, even more for your money!

I got some real bargains, plus the delivery was only two pound! You should definitely check fragrance direct out if you would like a better variety of nail polish colours or even just some nice colours for half the price.

Everyday make up storage

Hello lovelies! You might have seen my recent haul in which I purchased a little make up organiser for a very reasonable eight pounds! I thought I would show you how I am using it and so on.





I have stored quite a bit in it. It has two little compartments at the back which aren't very visible. Then there is a large one at the front which I have put my foundation, concealer, etc in. Then there are twelve little ones which I presume are for lipsticks but I had no more room at the back so I put my Benefit They're Real mascara in there and my mini sample from Elle magazine, which if you haven't already you really should get.
It's really handy to have and everything is so organised now rather than being a total cluttered mess with everything flung across my dresser. Plus it helps me only have the stuff I will use daily there, rather than those and lots of other products I use every now and then spread across my dresser too! If you're looking to organise your make up defintely buy one of these they're so handy and have a decent price tag!

April favourites

Hello, this is a slightly delayed April favourites post seen as we are a few days into May now. Is it just me or has this year gone super fast. I'm not one for monthly favourite posts, I don't change my make up a lot I tend to stick to the stuff I have. Well, I say that but I do change quite a few things but just not monthly so it wouldn't make a very good read if the favourites are the same every time. 



Models Own Nail Polishes: Fuzzy Peach, Luis Lemon & Pink Punch
I'm obsessed with neon nails this summer, especially yellow so I picked up these two models own ones which were in my haul, click here if you haven't read it and would like to. Well anyway I fancied getting the pink too and then they were 3 for 2 and I was after a peachy colour so I got fuzzy peach. They're all £5 each. I love the neon colours I have worn both and they dry really quickly. Plus they're matte nail polishes and they feel super nice when they're dry. If your liking neon nails right now, then definitely try the models own ones out.

Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy: 200 Orbit & 230 Satellite
Again these were both in my haul and these were £7.99 each. I wore the black one this weekend and it is so cute. Again it dries super fast; I get bored when I am waiting for my nails to dry and tend to get distracted easily, which leads to them smudging and being an absolute mess. I love how fast they dry which is making me extremely tempted to buy some more Revlon nail polishes. As soon as I finished my hand I waited for less than a minute and they were dry. The glittery bits look very cute too!

Revlon Lip Butter: Juicy Papaya
Again this was featured in my haul and I have also done a review that if you haven't read now you can if you click here. Wow, I have done a lot of links today. Anyway I don't want to right too much about this for those of you who have read my review, as you may find this tedious and boring. Straight to the point, it's a beautiful colour and its just amazing.

Benefit's They're Real Mascara
I don't know if this really counts as an April favourite considering I've only just started to use it in May but it's on here now. I also got a mini one free today with Elle magazine so if you don't want to splurge and buy this you can try it out first. They also sell mini ones in boots for £9.50 if you can't find Elle. Anyway enough with all the availability. It is a phenomenal (wow, big word.) mascara. It is very lengthening and volumising but it can get a little bit clumpy sometimes but other times its perfect. But I just brush through them with another mascara wand or an eyebrow brush, strange huh? I am planning to do a full review of this mascara so watch out if you're interested.

Seventeen Doll'd Up Mascara  
Now I have also reviewed this before so there is a link here. So again I don't want to be too boring and repeat the same things to you all. I know I got this towards the end of March but I've been loving it in April too! Anyway its really good, I personally like it a lot, not as much as the Benefit one but it is pretty close and considering it is about a third of the price, I will be repurchasing. 

Real Techniques Brushes: Contour & Detailer
These were featured in my haul that I posted yesterday, click here. I love the detailer for concealer and it is the perfect size to apply concealer. Plus it is super soft and feels lovely on your skin. I like all the brushes in the collection but these are the two I seem to get the most use out of.

Sorry for the link overload.

What have you loved in April?

Little tiny haul

Hello! This is a tiny haul, it's only three things from amazon but I thought I should share it with you anyway. I got this last week and had been wanting these things for quite a while, so I was just a little excited when it arrived... I had to take photos right away because I was excited to use them! I've also recently purchased Benefits they're real mascara, finally! I haven't taken a picture but it was £19.50 from Debenhams, it was actually 10% off the day I got it so I only paid £17.55 not a lot of difference but it's better than no discount, right? I'm not entirely sure, but I thought this mascara was £18.50? Enough with the mascara talk this isn't even in the haul! Well, I guess it kind of is now... If you would like me to do a review then let me know, I'm not sure whether to or not because I'm sure a lot of you have read reviews about it. 



The fault in our stars by John Green - £3.85
Acrylic make up holder - £8
Real techniques brushes core collection - £14.66

I've been wanting to buy the fault in our stars for quite a while now, everyone seems to be obsessing over how good it is, so for just £3.85 I thought I'd give it a read.
I've also been wanting an acrylic make up holder to help tidy up my everyday make up. The make up I don't wear so often is all set out reasonably nicely in designated draws but the make up I wear everyday is scattered all over the table. So I thought this would be useful to help tidy things up and keep them together all neatly. I love it, my table looks so much neater now!
Lastly is the real techniques brushes core collection, now I must admit I don't usually buy brushes, I buy the odd few that I need and use the rest from make up gift sets. I've just never been that bothered about buying any but some of them are getting a bit rough and bristles keep falling out, all that kind of stuff. So I though I'd invest in some decent brushes and everyone raves about the real technique brushes and obviously brushes isn't my forte subject so I went along with the hype. It was these or mac brushes and if I'm entirely honest I don't really want to be paying out £20 for a brush when people are saying these are just as good. So far I like them they're really soft and easy to use. The core collection is £20 in boots so I got them for £5 cheaper on amazon and they sell all the brushes, if you're interested.

Have you picked up anything good lately?

Revlon lip butter review


Hello! If you read my recent haul you may have realized I finally got a Revlon lip butter. I know, it's about time, every blogger has been raving about them for a while now, it might've been a year now! Anyway I finally got one and I completely understand the hype. I usually don't buy hyped up products because I always find them to be a let down, they usually aren't as great as you build them up to be in your mind, hence why I waited so long. The shade I got was 27 Juicy Papaya. 

Sorry about my chubby fingers and my unpainted nails...



A couple of swatches.

So enough of the pictures, now for the actual review. I wasn't actually sure on the colour when I picked it up because there were no testers left, but I hoped for the best and picked it up anyway the lid colour was pretty and summery so why not take a chance? Well I did, it must've caught me in a good mood, usually I'd be pretty dubious. As soon as I got home I had to try it on, as soon as I buy make up I usually go home and try it on straight away unless it's nail polish. Am I weird, or do you do this too?
Anyway I couldn't really see it that well due to bad lighting and whatnot. But I could tell the consistency was super moisturizing, which I was delighted about. I use way too much vaseline on my lips aswell as using lipstick and it's kind of annoying when a lipstick dries out your lips. I guess this is isn't specifically a lipstick, the whole butter thing suggests that but hey. 
When the lighting was good enough to see the colour, I was really happy. It's such a pretty colour and my first impression was right, very summery. At first the colours not very bright but it is easily built and you can't expect it to be extremely pigmented. It isn't advertised to be and it is so moisturizing. It acts as a lip balm so its not going to be overly pigmented. Plus it makes it better for summer in my opinion, you can have lip colour but not too bright, more effortless and easy.
I love the colour and I am so happy I got it. Now I am desperate to try out some more, at the moment I'm after candy apple. 
I would give it 9/10!

Any colour recommendations for these lip butters?

Beauty, Jewellery and Accessories Haul - New Look, Forever 21, Primark, etc.

Sorry it has been a little while since my last post. It's just been one of those weeks where life gets in the way of things. The other day I embarked on a long shopping trip, which was over six hours! But I haven't been shopping for a while, which is what I've been saying to reassure myself that what I spent was perfectly acceptable... Anyway enough of the self loathing for spending too much. I've decided to split my haul into two parts because I didn't want it to be too long for you! So this post will be jewellery, make up, bags, shoes and so on. The next one will be all clothes!




American sweets


The journey home before I started to eat my laffy taffy, the traffic was bad, I was hungry, why not?



Primark shoes.
Black loafers - £8
Studded ballerina shoes - £3
Studded cream loafers - £6


Primark
White studded satchel - £9


Accesorize
Purse - £10


New Look
Earrings - £3


New Look
Dream catcher ear cuff - £3
Arrow and cross earrings - £4


Forever 21
Cross necklace - £2.40
Triangle earrings - £1.65
Turquoise and gold necklace - £5.65
Pastel stud bracelet - £3.15
Silver cross bracelet - £4.90


Boots
Garnier moisture match moisturizer - £3.99 
Models own nail polishes - Fuzzy Peach, Pink Punch, Luis Lemon - £5 each
Revlon nail art moon candy - 200 Moon Dust, 230 Satellite - £7.99 each
Revlon lip butter - Juicy Papaya - £7.99

Like I said I did pick up quite a bit. I love American sweets so when I saw this little stall I couldn't help myself. I bought mint M&Ms, cherry laffy taffy and Wonka chewy runts. All I can say is why don't they sell mint M&Ms in the UK? They're amazing! If you ever see some pick them up! Although M&Ms cost about 60p for a normal packet and the mint M&Ms cost nearly £2! Quite a lot for a packet of sweets, but I was in a good mood and decided to treat myself. 
I got to the shoe section of Primark, which was full of sandals but I felt it wasn't warm enough to be buying sandals quite yet. But a few pairs of shoes caught my eye, usually I don't buy shoes in Primark, sometimes I do but I never find this many pairs that I like. The first was a pair of black loafers which have little triangle cut outs which are quite cute. The next to were both on offer. The cream studded loafer were reduced from £10 to £6 so I couldn't help myself. The last pair of shoes the black studded ballerina flats said they were £6 and when I got to the till they were only £3, but hey I'm not complaining! 
Everyone raves about forever 21 jewellery but the first time I went in there I wasn't impressed there were a few bits that were okay, but nothing majorly caught my eye. But this time I went in there and there were loads of bits I loved, I could've bought so much more but I had to restrain myself. There was another necklace that I was desperate to buy but they only had it on display, but all the other jewellery goodies certainly made up for it.
Lastly I went to Boots and the main reason I went in there was to buy the Revlon moon candy nail polishes, I also wanted to get a blue one but they were sold out, so I opted for a Revlon lip butter instead. It was 3 for 2, so I had to get one more thing. I was also on the search for a neon yellow nail polish and found a Models Own one. I've already tried it out and have to say I'm pretty impressed. I only have one other nail polish by Models Own so I was kind of new to their nail polishes and from the yellow one I'm impressed. The one I already have is a glitter top coat so not a proper nail polish like these, if you get what I mean. Also I received a free sample of the Garnier moisture match moisturizer and I loved it so I decided to pick one up, plus it was £2.50 off!

Thank you so much for reading, lots of love xxx

No7 Palette



Every year at Christmas as part of boots gift range they bring out this exact palette full of No7 goodies. My mum buys it for me every year, this palette hasn't yet been used but they contain all the same things every year so I'm currently still ploughing through my other one. You can buy all the stuff in the palette all year round otherwise this review would be a little pointless.

I'm going to start with the top layer which is full of eye shadows and lipsticks. 
Starting with the left side of eye shadows the colours are:
Khaki
Wheatsheaf
Mink
Then the next shades are sold as a palette but there names are:
Eden Dark
Eden Medium
Cappuccino Dark

Now for the right side:
Vivid Violet
Comet
Island Sea
Then again the next three are sold in a palette together and the colours are:
Storm Medium
Storm Dark
Organza Medium

Now for the lovely lipsticks, which are all No7 Moisture Drench lipsticks (from left to right):
Red Carpet
Waterlily
Paradise
Bare

Out of all the lipsticks I use waterlily the most and it's perfect for spring/summer. It's such a beautiful pink colour. I also use Red Carpet but thats more for the evening time for me, I love red lipstick but I just don't wear it in the day. My favourite eye shadows are Mink, Eden Dark and Eden Medium. Which are all the neutral colours, I don't really like wearing coloured eye shadow but in this palette they're all quite sheer so I do actually use the coloured ones too!

Then there is the bottom layer and again I'm going to do the left side first then the right side.
Left side:
Coral Flush
Dandy Pink
Soft Damson 
Honey

Right side:
High Lights Illuminating Powder in Island Glow
No7 Perfectly Pressed Powder Translucent

I use the right side of the powder to highlight and contour a little I don't know if the second powder is meant to be used for that but it's way too dark for my whole face, seen as I am very pale. Out of the blushers I use Honey the most it's such a gorgeous colour although it looks a bit dark considering I've just mentioned my pale skin once put on it isn't as dark because again it's quite sheer. My second most used blusher is Soft Damson, it's such a pretty pink colour and it isn't too bright for my skin.  

I love using this palette as it has a great selection of colour for your lips, eyes and cheeks and everyone can use it. It's so pretty. If your not too interested in buying any of the colours but do like quite a few then definitely look out for this palette nearer Christmas!

April wishlist


This is my April wishlist, I know it's not quite April left but I'm trying to be prepared. I know literally everyone has tried Rimmels Apocalips but I must admit I don't really use lip gloss. But I know I definitely want to try this, all the reviews have been amazing! I've wanted to buy Lauren Conrad's book for a while now but haven't ever picked it up, I also would quite like to read her style one as well. I love the topshop cami it looks so perfect for spring with the pastel flowers, if only it wasn't snowing! I love turquoise and this bracelets so pretty too! Lastly I like this bag it's a reasonable size and the colours would go with almost everything!

Seventeen Doll'd Up Mascara Review







I took a quick trip to boots about two weeks ago as I was in desperate need of a new mascara and only a mascara. I managed to only buy a mascara which I was pleased about as I will go in boots usually and come out with far more than I needed or even wanted before I went in there. Seventeen had just released a new mascara and it was £6.29 so I thought I'd try it out.
I hadn't heard anything about is so I didn't really know what to expect but I love it! It separates your lashes and doesn't clump them at all which is perfect. No matter how many coats you put on they stay separate! Plus it does elongate my lashes too, they look a lot longer than they originally did with a slight curl. The only thing I would fault this mascara on is if you curl your lashes to it doesn't hold it as well as I'd like it too. They tend to fall a bit. However I forgot to take this off the other night and I didn't wake up looking like a panda. It was all still on my lashes, I could've left the house and no one would have noticed that I hadn't freshly put any mascara on. Except there isn't much curl but I won't be going out with yesterdays mascara on anyway so that doesn't bother me! 

All in all I would give this mascara 9/10. 
It's inexpensive and makes your lashes look great but I would like it to lengthen a tiny bit more and it could hold the curl a bit better but it is really good! I would recommend!
