Small Haul ft. Naked 2 DUPE

This is a collective haul, I didn't buy it all at the same time! I know this is the second of two hauls in a row but I just really want to show you what I got.

So, first things first (I'm the realest), I went into poundland, as you know I am a huuuuuge fan of poundland and the beauty products. I got another 5 sinful colors nail polishes. I have way too many of these now, it is a problem. 

Left to right:- Inkwell, Envy, Social ladder, Kissy, Purple diamond

I have been wearing kissy for most of this week and I love it although I did notice it chipped quickly. But I mean, I was in school so maybe it's just working hard.

From the factory shop (LOVE IT) I got two of the One direction nail polishes, I have Louis' already so I just got Harry and Zayn's, The darker pink is Zayn's and is called Rasberry Rush and the other is Fuchsia Frenzy and is Harry's colour. I love these. 

The MNY nail polish is in the shade 677 and I love a good black so I'm excited to use it, I got this for only 99p.

Then with my birthday money I got two of the Barry M sequin effects, left is SNP 3 and right is SNP 2. I tried the pink one in the week but I didn't like how it felt on my nails without a top coat so I'm going to have to buy one. Do you have any recommendations?

Again, from factory shop I got a foundation, I've been looking for a good one and this one was only £3 so I just picked it up randomly. I got it in the shade 'buff' and I'm excited to try it out.

For my birthday, Courtney got me Dream Cream from LUSH and it smells so good! I haven't owned anything from LUSH before and now I am determined to buy more. I want to try out some of their bath bombs. 

I had heard a lot of hype about the rimmel Stay matte powder so I finaaaalllyyy picked it up, I got it in the translucent one and I can't wait to try it out with the new foundation.

Courtney got me these lipsticks for my birthday too! They're not any big brand or anything but I love love love the colours. I especially like the corally pink (left middle)

From Factory shop again, I got the W7 Brow Bar. I think this is so cool. It comes with three brushes, the paletter and three eyebrow stencils, this is hopefully going to make doing my eyebrows quicker and easier every morning. 

And finally the coolest thing of the haul, the W7 In the Buff palette. It's a dupe for the Naked 2 palette and it's so cool. There's another W7 palette which is a Naked 3 dupe. GUESS WHO'LL BE BUYING THAT ASAP?! Me. Spoiler alert. 

Bye

A little trip!

On Sunday 2nd March me and two of my friends decided to head to the beach as two of us are art students and the photos would help with our project. Typical us, we did not plan for the weather and ended up not spending long there. However, I did buy a breakfast baguette which was delicious and well worth the walk. We were in fact planning to go to a further away beach but as the weather was bad we decided against the idea. We headed out at about 10:30, cameras in hand. Before we got to the beach we stopped at the shop for said Breakfast baguette and I noticed in the magazine section that there was a mag containing a one direction quiz so obviously I did it and sneaky Cerys caught this on camera. Excuse my wet hair please!

The photos of me were taken by Cerys on her camera then edited by me. Beach photos and such taken by me on my camera. However, I did not edit the beach photos at all as they're beautiful naturally. Another thing we did not plan was for the police to be on the beach. Apparently they were looking for a bomb although I highly doubt that. Sorry if they happen to be in some of the pictures. Because of the bad weather and police we didn't actually go onto the beach so I didn't have many good photos, here's my favourites!

Winter Outfits Competition!

Hello everyone, oooh, frequent blogging eh? I'm sorry this isn't a personal post but I've just read up about this competition hosted by Vipxo. Within this competition you need to design two outfits, one entitled 'Winter Warmer' and another called 'Party look'. I really enjoy doing things like this and letting my creativity flow. If you like the outfits I create let me know down below and all products featured will also be linked.

Winter Warmer I think the mix I chose would be perfect for either a pamper day, a stay at home day, movie day, pyjama day, rainy day or anything which involves cold weather and the indoors.

The onesie (£19.95) This onesie is so super cute, it's from Debenhams and is literally adorable. It transforms you into a bear. human --> bear!! What's not to love? The only downside I see to this is that it has no feet. A-HA! I know how to solve that!
The slippers (£14.00) No longer have cold feet.. These moccasin style slippers will keep your tootsies warm forever. It'll look like your wearing real shoes but your not SSOOO you could leave your house in your slippers. YOU COULD GO SHOPPING IN SLIPPERS! Okay, maybe not the onesie, but go for it with the slippers, I so would.
The perfume (£21.00) Was there any way Our Moment would not be there? Even though your having a home-pyjama-day, that does not mean you don't need to smell good, gurl! You need to sprits the boys all over your bear onesie in the morning and you'll be smelling great all day. I can guarantee this because I have the perfume - AFFIRMATIVE! Use this for every outfit you ever wear, please. Thank you.
Debenhams don't sell the specific Yankee Candle I wanted for this so I just shoved it in. This candle is in 'Red Apple Wreath', I have it and it is heavenly! Whenever I smell it I think of onesies and Winter - Perfect!
Also, the bed is just to signify laying in bed all day. If it was me, Pretty little liars would be on and I'd be eating everything close to me and drinking tea.

The Party Look this is the outfit I worked harder on, I love creating party looks so much!

The dress  (£22.99) So, I knew I wanted to incorporate tartan somehow into this outfit and I felt like this dress was so gorgeous. It is beautiful and adds a bit of pizzazz to the outfit. I worked this whole outfit around a red theme because New Years and other celebrations fit a red theme, especially in Winter and Christmas time.
The shoes (£35.99) I just wanted basic pumps and I was aiming for either black or red, I saw these heels and fell in love immediately. They match the dress and are a real statement. They contribute to making this outfit look unique and fun!
The bag (£27.30) I am in love with this bag. I seem to be in love with this whole outfit though.. It is very mature and glamorous. I'm a big fan of black bags and this one is no exception.
The earrings (£9.60) They're simple wine coloured studs, they may be basic but they are still very glamorous and pretty. They add a bit of sparkle to this otherwise sparkle-less outfit. I love them!
I wanted to accentuate the fact that I'd curl my hair with this outfit so I placed curly hair there, I also placed a red bow on top because it is gorgeous and I think it suits the outfit well.
I included this Nars nail polish which unfortunately, Debenhams don't sell, they do sell others but I wanted a deep wine colour for this look.
Again, Debenhams didn't sell the exact lipstick I wanted to pair with this outfit so I just placed it in anywhere. I'd describe this colour as a bright berry red, it is gorgeous!

Black nails.

Oo er, look it's a Thursday. I'm changing my blogging schedule to whenever I want. No more structure, sorry. But it means you will have more posts, I promise.

So, today's post is going to be about my favourite nail trend for this Autumn/Fall.

Black nails. At first I thought this looked gothic and I wasn't into it then tonight I attempted it on my nail, which I had been meaning to try for a while, and I really like them. Obviously these are freshly painted hence the rough edges. Sorry.

Excuse my spotty socks, how artsy is this photo?

 

If you think you can't work these black nails I think you're wrong. Try them out. You can leave me a comment down below telling me if you like them, Instagram me a picture, links below. Tweet me a picture, it's up to you. DO YOU LIKE THEM?

 

Thanks for reading, speak soon.

O, H + M OTD! 12th Aug '13

 Well Hello There! Today I decided I'd do a O, H + M OTD for you (Outfit, Hair and Makeup of the day) which is a type of post I've never done before, if you like these, let me know please<3

My top is from Primark and featured in my recent Primark haul. It is this CAAAUTE black and white crop top with long sleeves, it shows a bit of skin which I usually wouldn't allow but I was having what I like to call a 'confident' day when I think Yolo and show a bit of tummy!

Oh Hello Mrs. Primark! I paired the top with my leggingy disco pants, which I love, they are so comfy! They make me feel really happy with myself, I don't know why! Haha!



The outfit all put together

NAILS! - Andrea's Choice CIRCUS in Spectacle, per-fect (1DQuote!) for Summer.

ARM CANDY, BABY!

  So, this snakeskin claspy bracelet is from Primark I do believe, a few seasons ago! I love how it looks with a black and white outfit, a k a, the one I wore yesterday!!

My skull bracelet is from The Factory Shop and I love love love it. It adds a good pop of colour to any outfit.

My fake converse come from Primark, they are the perfect burgundy to add to any colour-less outfit.



My Daughter necklace is from a small boutique in Minehead Town, I love it. You can hardly see it here unfortunately! 

 My face makeup was just the everyday rubbish really, but my eyes, that's where the party is at.

My first winged eyeliner that has gone well!!

So, yesterday I met with my friend, Emily to film a video. Here's the video.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KinabU36OHM The friendship Test!!

My first rant.

Everyone loves a good old rant. I am ranting today about Kid's TV. It's just boring, the humour is no longer spoken it's visable, such as men falling over and getting hit with a plank of wood. It is The Three Stooges humour. I have no problem with the three stooges, it just annoys me that ALL humour is turning into that. It should still be funny in both spoken and physical ways. Thanks for joining me for my first rant, ADIOS.

Review: 21 Jump Street (film)

This film is just great if you ask me. The jumpy storyline gives this film a modern and real feeling. The boys who we watch through school days. Where Channing bullies the geeky Jonah and then we see them in Police school together, gradually becomming the best of friends. When a case occurs which involves going undercover in a place they know well.. All problems occur. Jonah Hill is drop dead gorgeous, not so much as a fat eminem! But all in all the boy's amazing! He plays his charactor well and the film is very well directed and casted. A charactor is very shifty and nervous and makes the mission ten times more difficult due to getting too involved with the suspects. Obviously Jonah's co-actor couldn't go un mentioned, seen as he is just a beautiful human being! The lovely Channing Tatum plays a lovable yet brave and strong charactor who is constantly on guard and somewhat 'on task' When Jonah has his issues about firing a gun the courageous Channing just shoots it for him. Jonah is constantly having issues all the film through, but will he get his courage in time to shoot that gun when it really counts? 8 diamonds for this darling film!

Review: miss sporty fabulous lash waterproof mascara

I purchased this mascara last weekend from boots for about £1.99 or such! It's great!! It definitely gives me good waterproof coverage and I can build it up well without too many clumps. I love the packaging, the sky blue is nice! It is in the colour 1 - black an its adorable! Definitely worth the money and I do believe I will repurchase!:P

Introducing the new rating system.. My very own.. Diamond o' meter! The most diamonds a product can get is 10 and the least is 0 obviously!!!!

7 diamonds for this mascara!! Bye👋
