My Favourite You Tubers #1

I thought I would try something a bit different today. I have been extremely lazy blogging wise and Im determined to change that. So I thought Id start a new weekly series. Every Friday I am going to post one of my favourite You Tubers. I am really into You Tube right now so if you have any suggestions let me know.

My first recommendation is Marissalace.

I get so excited when I see her videos in my subscriptions box. Marissa is really fun and quirky, ok and maybe just a little bit crazy. Im kinda obsessed with her haha. Marissas videos are mainly rants, hauls, OOTD, tags and hair and make up tutorials. She also has a vlog channel called TheDailyMarissalace so if youre interested check her out. I can really see her making it big in You Tube.

Call Me Maybe

Check me out I'm on a roll! I recently placed an order on the MUA website when they were giving away free Immaculate palettes with every order (obviously I couldn't resist!). They are running special offers everyday this week (I think) to celebrate their 2nd birthday so if your interested you should check out their Facebook page. I think todays offer is a free pastel palette.

My computer screen has decided to turn yellow so its been so hard to pick out what shades to order. In the end I ordered the shades that looked like they would be the most wearable without the yellow tinge!

Lip Boom in OMG - £3


Lipstick in Juicy - £1 Love Heart Lip Baalm in Sugar Lips - £2



Immaculate Palette - £8 (FREE!)


I also ordered from the Boots website. I bought 4 Front Cover eyeshadows that were reduced to £1 each and when you bought 4 you got the palette for free.


L - R Twinkling Gold - Pale Gold - Bougainvillea - Twinkling Grape

So as usual I have been bargain hunting and I have yet another Primark haul too! I really have to stop shopping there! I hope you enjoyed this post.

Payday Haul

I just thought I'd show you a few items I picked up when I got paid (obviously haha). I hit TK Maxx first and picked up Victoria Beckham, Signature and David Beckham, Instinct fragrances for £6 each, bargain! I haven't got any pics as I gave the perfume to my mum as I didnt like the scent. I bought Instinct for my boyfriend as it his birthday this week and he usually likes the Beckham fragrances. I also picked up a top which I cannot wait to wear, I'm so in love with it. It was only £12.99 too :) It even has boning so its a great fit.


I nipped into B&M for some lunch and bought these 2 photo frames for £4.99 each. All I need now is to actually get some photographs printed. The white one is for my bedroom and the black one is for my living room.


Today I bought a small set of drawers and a letter stand to hold more of my make up. The drawers were £2.99 and the letter stand was 99p.


I really wanted  to try the new Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation £6.99 so I went to Boots and while I was in there I picked up the 17 Peep Show eye palette for £1.50 and Impulse for £1. The Clean & Clear moisturiser is from Asda £2 and I'm really loving this at the minute, its working wonders on my skin. I apply it every night after cleansing my face and my skin seems so much clearer and brighter for it. I got the cotton wool pads from Wilkinsons as theyre only 66p a pack there.


Finally I bought this lovely mirrored trinket box from the 99p shop, apparently they are supposed to be £6 so thats a really great deal. I also ordered there large flower earrings from Ebay for £1.51. I can see myself wearing these a lot!



I hope you enjoyed this post :)

Collective March Haul

Hi Guys,

Since I've been M.I.A for a while I thought I'd show you all what I've picked up recently. I did have a bit of a shop when I got paid but I also joined the gym and got a Cineworld Unlimited card and paid off a few big bills plus an amazing night out or two! So all of my money has been pretty much spoken for, I havent done too badly though but I do have my eye on a few beuty products for next month that I couldnt bring myself to shell out for this month. So onto the purchases!

Elf Haul! I bought the Daily Brush Cleaner, £3.50 which is great but it has a very strong scent, so a lot of people might not like it. Lipstick in Nostalgic, £1.50 which is a nice chage to the lipsticks I usually wear. I top it off with a lip gloss though as it can look a bit concealer like on the lips. Blush and Bronzer compact, £3.50 which is amazing! I am in love with this product, the packaging is looking a bit grubby now though but I wont complain haha. I picked up 2 brushes from the basic range, the eye defining brush and the powder brush, both £1.50. The powder brush is so tiny so I would never use it for powder but it is great for contouring. The eye defining brush is amazing, I bought it because I found the regular crease brush was a little large for me at times, so I've been really enjoying this one and using it on a daily basis. Random Hawaiian Tropics lipgloss thrown in for good measure. I have been using this lipgloss a lot lately, its a really nice gloss but the real reason I love it is because its not at all sticky it feels really moisturising, I love it. This was £7.49 for Boots and I can definitely recommend it.



Next up Primark, Accessories first I bought a bun ring (£1/£1.50?) but unfortunately my hairs too short for this yet. I bought this lovely feather necklace £3, I LOVE feathers, I'm a little bit obsessed but thought this would be great for Spring/Summer. I got the bird necklace on sale for 50p, I already have a gold mini version from Matalan but its going a bit coppery so I couldnt not pick this up! The lint roller and replacement head, I think was £1 and is an essential since my cat insists on sleeping everywhere.

Skirt Primark £5, love this, cant wait to waer it but its also one of those Primark skirts that really flares out :/ which is so annoying!

Playsuit Primark £5, How cute is this playsuit! I couldnt resist this but I have had to ask everyone I know if its nice as I was so unsure of it. Im still yet to wear it but hopefully I'll feel comfortable in it eventually.

Top Primark £3, Excuse the creases (and bit of shrinkage I think?) I have wore a lot of the upcoming clothes so the tuble dryer has left its mark.

Skirt Primark £3, I still can't believe this skirt was £3 I thought it was £5 which is still a bargain but come on £3! :o

Slipper things? Primark £1, Johnson baby wipes £1 I bought these baby wipes to try as face wipes, they do work even better then some wipes I ve tried but they tend to drag a bit. Still great for the price though.

Lilac and Mint vests, £2.49 each and lemon vest £4.99 New Look, I've worn all off these already. I love these basic New Look Vests such an essential purchase. I'm going to pick up some more of these Lemon crop style tops in other colours, theyre really flattering and great for Spring/Summer.

Random make up purchases, W7 eyeshadow palette £1 from Savers and 2true concealer in Light £1.99? from Superdrug. The eye shadows are very "Springy" not bad for a pound, I did manage to crack a shdow by the time I got home though. The concealer I had in Medium a while ago and that was great, I'm not liking the Light one though, it doesnt seem to do anything at all so that was a really disappointing purchase.


I bought this top from Peacocks last month, think it was £3 in the sale, this is a lovely top, very flattering in all areas :) So thats everything I've bought recently (I think) I hope you enjoyed this post.
