Poundland Bargains

I was having a nose around in town whilst waiting for my friend for what turned out to be a great night at her flat. I ended up extremely drunk and left her flat a bit worse for wear after smashing glasses and somehow even managing to break her toilet, its not how it sounds I promise! Being my best friend she even gave up her bed for me aww!

Anyway we had an absolutely amazing night but a terrible takeaway haha. I am still aching from all the dancing and my throat has still not recovered from all the singing!

Right back to the bargains, so I was moseying around poundland and found these 3 Rimmel nail polishes. Ive never seen these square bottles before so they grabbed my attention. The colours come out really well and they seem like they'll have good staying power too. Here's how they came out.

Thought I'd find the best way to show the two tone effect. The blue is quite a lot darker on though.

I love all of these colours really glad I bought them, they are definitely going to be well used. Think I'm going to wear the blue tomorrow with my outfit for works Fright Night. I work it every year on the ticket stand. Its a guided walk around a local parks walled gardens with various scenes and scary nonsense. It also means I get to go on the last walk of the night and feast upon hotpot before I freeze my butt off sorting the tickets and some extra cash in my bank for Christmas presents which always helps!

I also picked up a small set of 2 drawers to store my eye palettes in since I keep throwing them all over the floor. Luckily for me they haven't smashed :) Anyway I'm going off to finish watching Made in Chelsea and having a cuddle with my fiance and cat xxx

A few goodies

Thought I would show you a few things I picked up in New Look, even though I should not be spending oops! I didn't stop there but that's for another post :)

I have already worn this necklace with a plain vest and jeans and I really liked it - £5.00

I also picked up another necklace (as if I don't have enough already!) - £5.00

Finally I bought a 2 pack of belts, which I think are really cute! - £5.00

They're both patent even though the tan/peachy one doesn't look it here. I bought these to go with all my plain winter clothes I plan on wearing. So hopefully I'll get plenty of use out of all of these so I don't feel guilty for spending more haha. Although I am dying to go and see Paranormal Activity 3 and no doubt I will :) x

Winter Coat!!!

As the title suggests I have finally found my winter coat yay! Today I went to Liverpool to do some Christmas shopping and get a few bits and bobs. Spent most of my money as usual, if only I still lived at home! I do love having my own house though so I suppose It's worth it :) Very busy out today Christmas is definitely coming, the crowds of shoppers are stressing me out already It's so cold too but at least it was sunny today. Warmed myself up with a gorgeous pizza after venturing to Asda for my food shop, so much for the diet haha. Anyway I'll get on with todays purchases.

Here's the coat in question. Unfortunately I don't take a good picture :/ Think I'll be taking the belt off it as it seems a bit to fussy. The fur collar is also detachable but it makes the coat so warm, no scarf needed I think. I love love love this coat and it was only £35 I think it looks a  lot more expensive and don't think the photo does it justice.

I picked up in Boots a Soap & Glory You Cube, FCUK set and  a Ted Baker set. All in the 3 for 2 so that's the main presents for my friends sorted.

All from Primark - 2 jewellery organisers that I saw on Elissa's Blog except I bought it in pink. One for me and one to go with one of my friends presents, she's also got a Pixi palette in Miracle that completes her presents. Some underwear essentials £2.50 - Primark, have to wear black underwear with leggings. A small purse as I mainly have large ones, although I did buy a floral coin purse from Tesco to go in my small bags that don't have inside pockets. Thought I would try these face wipes as I'm still in search of some that don't upset my skin. Unfortunately these are crap haha but what did I expect for a £1! 

A jumper for work as my office is always freezing £5 - Primark

Black heart & cross earrings £1.50 - Primark

Stag earrings £1 - Primark

17 Photo Flawless Skin Primer £4.99 - Boots - Hoping this will help my make-up stay on as it has good reviews.

Had a very tiring day today so I'm off the watch the rest of the X Factor and get on the snacks hehe.

How much is your face worth

I saw this on Hayley's blog and thought I’d give it a go and brave it!
You have to add up the cost of all the cosmetics you wear on a daily basis (don’t include cleaners etc) Mine are:

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation £12.99 - Boots

Loreal Infallible Concealer £5.69 - Boots

Avon Arabian Glow Eye Shadow Duo around £5.00

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara £8.99 - Boots

Barbara Daly Matte Perfection Powder £5.75 - Tesco

Loreal Super Liner £6.49 - Boots

Revlon Bronzer £7.99 - Boots

Benefit Thrrrob Blusher £23.50 - Boots

Rimmel Kate Lipstick £5.49 – Boots

Vaseline Rosy Lips £1.99 - Boots

My face is worth £83.88

I would never have thought I spend that much but it’s definitely worth it in my eyes! I think I’m more shocked by the amount of products I wear, I already know I spend a lot lol, especially since I can’t resist a bargain!

Make up! (Heavy Picture Post)

I decided to nip into TK Maxx in my lunch break to have a look around, they have loads of stock in at the moment. I know I’m going to end up buying most of my girly Christmas gifts there, as it’s a great place to pick up something a bit different.

Since they started selling make up I have found myself drawn there a lot more often. Today I found a variety of Pixi products. They had lipsticks/glosses, blushers, eye shadow singles/palettes, concealers and nail varnishes, all with a £2.99 price tag! I immediately jumped on them. I ended up picking up 2 eye shadow palettes in Blue Energy and Magic (RRP £18.50):

This is the Blue Energy palette. I checked online for some pricing and found it on the Debenhams website for £26.00 LINK

A few of the colours didn’t come out so well in both palettes but for £3 I’m not complaining. They do have some staying power though, I had to wash my hands when doing the swatches as the colours weren’t budging enough.

I love how the palettes are made to coordinate together. I think the dark colours look great for night time. I can’t wait to test out their staying power on my next night out.

The packaging states:

“Eight of our favourite beautifying eye colours. Silky and sheer in texture, you can use wet for a party look or dry for daytime dream eyes. Infused with soothing Aloe Vera & anti-aging Vitamin E. Included is a mini version of our “can’t live without” eyebrush –one end for easy lining and one for application and blending. All you need to enhance and energize your eyes!”

This is the Magic Palette I found this on the Boots website for £18.50 LINK

This is a great daytime palette. I know I’ll get plenty of use from this as I love neutrals. I couldn’t get some of these to show up on camera as they were quite sheer but would be good used as a highlight.

I also picked up a Barbara Daly Matte Perfection pressed powder in Warm for £5.75. I'm hoping this will help stop my make up from melting off my face. I love the packaging, just hoping the product impresses me too. I spent a while pouring over the make up in Tesco trying to choose wisely so I hope it was worth all the time I put into choosing it. I'll let you know how it goes :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog :) xxx

OOTD - 9/10/11

Hi,

Thought I'd do an outfit of the day post for this lazy Sunday. This is pretty much my go to outfit. Its easy to wear, one of those get up and throw it on outfits that just works for so many day to day occasions.

Today I'll be spending my day lounging around waiting for the X Factor results. I wasn't really impressed with last nights show til the second half when it completely changed around (in my opinion). Also scouring the Internet for good reviews of make up primers! I have quite oily skin and my make up just isn't staying on at the minute :( Anyone got any recommendations? I am in desperate need!

Anyway on to the outfit:

Top: Internacionale (bought around March) - Leggings: New Look around £7

Necklace:  Matalan around £1 in the sale

Earrings: Wallis - A few years old

Never thought I'd buy anything from Wallis but the do have a good jewellery range.

Sorry for the white face, being an avid make up wearer my face is white compared to the rest of me, which is quite tanned oops!

Overall looking forward to staying all snuggled up indoors with all this horrible weather going on. I'm just thankful its not snowing, which is my worst nightmare. At least I get to show my hats the light of day again :)

A few things I picked up this week :)

Hi All,

I've been so busy this past week I've barely had anytime to get on here at all. Never the less I've been having a great time especially on my big girly night out on Friday as pictured below :)

Sadly there were no good pictures from the night as cameras were abandoned as soon as we left the house.

I thought I'd show you a few things I've picked up while I've been MIA.

I bought this ring from EBay after not being able to get my hands on the H&M one I wanted LINK (H&M ring)

Ring £2.00 + £1.00 delivery LINK

I also bought a choker style dream catcher necklace:

Necklace 99p + £1.00 delivery charge

My favourite purchase was this floral mini satchel bag from Matalan. I swooped on it as soon as I saw it! This is the cutest bag I have ever seen in my life. I have used it everyday since I bought it, I'm in love with it.:

I bought it in store for £6 but its now £3 on the website and will be the same price in store soon too

(if its not already). I was going to put a link up but it looks like it has sold out already.

All in all I had a great week, I even joined the gym again last week after having a bit of extra cash so I've been feeling great! Hope you're all having a great week too :)
