Boohoo purchase:

Hey guys! Almost Christmas now! Hope you all have a wonderful time. Speaking of Christmas, I picked a very festive glistening, sequin style top from Boohoo. I couldn't find a dress that fit the bill for this time of year, so decided a nice top and leggings would do fine.
 I also picked up some Disco style leggings from Boohoo, but I doubt I'm keeping them. I ordered two sizes, but they just seem to fall down and seem rather roomy around the waist. The legs are fine, but not the torso area. I find baggy leggings/trousers/jeans really annoying, and I cant stand when they fall down. I'm blabbering on here lol, so lets get to showing you the actual top.



This was £25, but I got it for £10 in the sale. It's cropped, but not overly cropped. You can easily get away with it with high waisted leggings/jeans/trousers etc, unless you want to show some stomach. I'm not sure when I will wear it, definitely around Christmas/New Year. Christmas day I love to wear pj's though =] . All over sequin vest top .

Hope you all have a fab festive season,

A few more bits from my Birthday:

I have a few more bits that I got for my Birthday, thought I would pop them on. I always like looking at Birthday hauls.


I picked this necklace out myself along with the blue bag below. Both from Matalan. The necklace cost £12 and, the bag was £8 down from £12. It also comes in pink. I wanted these items to match my blue jumper from Primark. I wore these together for my Birthday meal. Love them.



I'm not sure where any of these items were from as they were gifts from my friends. The candle is 
by Yankee candle in Black Cherry, very yummy. Can't stop smelling it. The set of lipgloss is by Paul's Boutique, and the necklace I'm not sure on. 


This is a gift set by Next, their signature collection. It includes a hand cream, a mirror, fragrance and body velvet.


This gift set is by Marks and Spencer's. It includes bath crystals, fragranced candle, body lotion, bath elixir, and body wash.


And these slipper socks. Not sure where they are from.

I'm very grateful for all the gifts and money I received.

That's all for the time being. See you soon,

Primark Birthday haul:

It was my Birthday on Tuesday, I got some money and, went shopping at Primark.


I needed some warm items of clothing. I went in fully intent on only buying warm pieces, which I did. I picked up this coat that was on sale from £25 to £15, been looking for something like this for a while. Ordered something similar from Boohoo but wasn't impressed with the sizing. I tried this on in store, and it's roomy sizing. It fastens with poppers as you can see below. It's a thick scuba material. I wouldn't say its as warm as a Winter coat, but its a thicker than a  jacket, so somewhere in between. Would pop a jumper and scarf under it anyway. It's eye catching pink so a tad out there for me, but injecting colour into Winter is good sometimes, definitely not dull.




Next up we have this fluffy peach cardi, I haven't stocked up on them recently and thought this would be snuggly. This was £12. 



Going with the fluffy theme, this turquoise jumper was £10. 



I also threw in a sheer blouse/shirt in Wine, not warm in the slightest but I liked it. They also do this in green, and it's £12.


And last but not least this purple jumper. I added quite the pop of colour into my wardrobe, which makes a change from Winter attire usually. It's nice to see splashes of colour everywhere. This was only £8. Most of the items here came in different colours. As usual I couldn't see for looking and must have circled the place 3 times trying to pinpoint some bargains. lol.


That's all for now, see you all soon with some more bargain buys.

Haul:

Hey guys! I have been collecting some bits these last few days for an upcoming event.



I did some online shopping at Superdrug. First up we have a hair dye, I've gone for the same colour as last time, but wanted to try a different brand. Hopefully this will last a little longer. The colour is mango copper. 

Next I decided to try out some fake eyelashes to add a pow to my eyes, even though I have long lashes I wanted to thicken them up without 10 layers of mascara. 

I picked up my trusty foundation, Revlon colour stay, but this time I got the normal/dry rather than the oily/combo as I found it slightly drying.

Lastly I wanted a natural coloured lipstick as I'm focusing on my eyes for this special event, I don't want my lips to be overpowering. This one is by Sleek, and is called barely there. It's a sheen finish so my lips wont dry out throughout the day.




These were early birthday gifts from my Mum, as my birthday follows the event and I needed some bits and bobs to fancy myself up a bit.

So I have an apricot scrub, not the one I usually use, but will give this a go. And my usual trusty backcombing spray which doubles up as a dry shampoo.

I also wanted a body shimmer to add a bit of glamour to my skin, and I came across this one by soap and glory, It's very subtle and makes your skin smell nice with the added scent.

I've been meaning to try the seventeen falsifeye mascara so decided to give it a whirl.

Because the event goes on all day I wanted to try another primer that would make my makeup last longer without slipping and sliding around on my face, so this stay time long wear one from seventeen caught my eye. It was the last one on the shelf so it must be good (hopefully).

The theme for the day is purple so I want to incorporate purple nails, this gel effect one from seventeen should do the trick, the colour is 'pretty bang bang'.

I needed a new eyeliner, and went with the big eye liner by Maybelline with the black tip and the white tip to pop on the waterline, to make the eyes appear bigger.

And last but not least Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears, as you know I love her scents. This was on offer in Boots for £10.99 instead of the £22 for the 30ml. Love it.


That's all for now, see you all soon I hope.




Recent purchases:

It's been a while, but I'm back! Here are my recent purchases, a mixed bag:


First up, lace, velvet, and scuba material dress from Boohoo. It's a midi style bodycon fit. They also do this in red, but you cant go wrong with a black dress. The sleeves are lace, and so is the back. It's a lovely textured dress, feels luxurious. It was £25, link : Hayley lace and velvet bodycon dress .



I picked this up in the sale rack in Tesco, was around £8, and £20 originally. Bargain. It's a pull on style with a stretchy waist.



Ignore the scuffs as they have been worn. They are faux suede knee high boots from Peacocks. They have a chain and buckle design to give them an edgy look. The only downside is the sizing, quite roomy as I think they are wide fitting, but I will be wearing thick socks with them anyway. They were £30 from the store.


Will be back shortly with my most recent haul

Tesco Purchase:

Hello, picked up a few items whilst shopping in Tesco.


This playsuit was on the sale rack for £10 instead of £20. I thought it looked sophisticated, dressy and more expensive than it was. It's chiffon material with a concealed zip to the back with added lace detail. Bargain!




I'm short on dry shampoo, so picked up this half price- £1.99 instead of £2.99. It's specifically for coloured hair and, uses the phrase 'ignite my colour'. Will give this a go and see what happens. I usually get batiste, but fancied a change.

That's all folks,

Boohoo purchase:

Hey guys! For many years I have eyed up faux fur coats on Boohoo. But on average they cost £50. Well I finally took the plunge and splurged.



Its black and hooded, which is definitely a bonus. I like my coats to be hooded, so I can flip the hood up when it decided to rain without faffing about with umbrellas lol. The colour black is classic and will go with anything. It comes just below my bottom. There are also two decent sized pockets at either side.The only issue I have with this is the hook and eye fastenings. I find them quite tricky, and it took me ages to find two of the hooks embedded in the fur. But other than that I absolutely love it and can see it lasting me a long time. Link: Faux fur coat .

That's all for now, catch you later,

Mini haul: Select and Boohoo:

Well hello, this is the next part of my recent purchases. I did also order a pair of boots but, they are slightly too small. Bit gutted as they were the last pair available but, never mind.


This little lime jacket is from Select. It was £20 down from £25, which isn't too much of a saving, but there were only a few sizes left and I wasn't letting it go. lol. They have it in a variety of different colours. I have been eyeing them up for a while. Link: Jacket


And this playsuit from Boohoo. It was £12 down from £25. I got it in the biggest size as I knew it would run smaller and be a pain to get on and off. It's a good job I did. It has buttons half way up, and has a elasticated waist. It's rather thin, so would be best suited to warmer months. I'll just pop on black tights, cardi and coat for the colder months.

That's all for now, see you soon,
