Haul: Including New Look and Select:

Hello everyone! I haven't been well but I'm back with a haul!


This little bright dress is from New Look, think it was around £14.99, the quality of the material is good and its rather heavy. I found it online, link here: Neon pink dress .


This statement necklace is also from New Look and it goes so well with the dress. It was £9.99. To buy online link here: Neon necklace .


The back of the dress is rather low, but I can work with that.


This gingham dress is from Select, and it was on the sale rack for £10, but I think I got it for £8. Online link here: Gingham dress .


It has a zip feature on the front and fastens with a zip at the back.


I got this Bandeau for under my dress because its quite revealing. Its from Select and only cost me £2.50. The shoes are New Look and were £12.99. Link here to buy online: Crochet pump .



That's all for now. Will be catching up with reviews from now on, that's my main goal. See you all soon,

Mini Boohoo haul:

Hello everyone! I ordered two items from Boohoo and here they are:




The black chiffon waterfall kimono was £12, and the red basic swing style playsuit was £10. I just thought I'd pick the playsuit up for lazy days where I just want to be comfy and laid back, but you can also dress it up if you wish with accessories. The playsuits are available in an array of colours. I've been wanting a new jacket of some sort for a while, this is perfect and black goes with everything so you cant really go wrong. It will still keep me cool on the warmer days.

That's all for today, short and sweet. See you all soon,

Superdrug haul:

I'm back already, I have a Superdrug haul this time. Lets get straight into it!


As I was taking the picture the little white tub rolled, but its just the Superdrug coconut oil. I have used this before and loved it. I ran out a while ago. I use this on my hair mainly as an overnight treatment. I have a problem with hair fallout and slow hair growth. This helps a lot in my personal experience. It may not work for others, but it did for me. It stops my hair falling out as much and I noticed my hair grew a little quicker when I worked this into my roots (massaging the area) around two-three times a week. It can be messy, and take a while to wash out but I think its worth it. I absolutely love it. I will never go back. Link here: Superdrug coconut oil



I've used the Batiste dry shampoo XXL volume in the past (when I was blonde) so thought I'd try it out with darker hair, and it definitely did give me an oomph in the past along with livening the hair up in between washes. Link here: XXL dry shampoo

Blend perfection foundation sponge by cosmopolitan-I've used a few cheapish versions of these sponges before, and saw this one on offer and thought I'd give it a go. It wasn't too expensive anyway, but the offer price really attracted me to it. Link here: Cosmopolitan blend perfection sponge

I've been obsessed with skincare for a while now, even more so in the past year or two. I've been wanting to try a face oil for some time, and I saw this one by Superdrug's B. range. This is a little bit pricey, but it was on offer so I had to have it. Although this product is stated for people in their 30's and 40's I saw no reason why I couldn't give it a whirl. This one is the B.replenished antioxidant boost which includes vitamin E and C, Rosehip oil, Argan oil, and Crambe seed oil. I think I am going to enjoy this tremendously as I've applied it once before going to sleep and I noticed my skin looked a little bit brighter. Hopefully this will bring good results.

I also purchased the Manuka Doctor age defying eye cream. This has Manuka honey and purified bee venom. I am looking forward to trying this out. Link here: Manuka Doctor eye cream



Last but not least I thought I would include a lip balm from Primark. Its £1 and I got it in pineapple flavour. I was pleasantly surprised after one application, I struggle with dry lips most of the time no matter what I do. I applied this once and about an hour or so later I noticed my lips were a lot less dry after it wore off.  Amazing for a really for a cheap lip balm.

That's all for now, have you tried any of these products? did you have good experiences? see you all soon,





NYX haul:

Hello. I was looking on the NYX website and came across a sale/clearance, so I didn't see the harm in indulging. I didn't order too much, just three items. I controlled myself, because lets face it its easy to go overboard when you see the word 'sale' in red!






swatches of the blush and lipstick!


I got the Haute Jersey leopard couture set, and I absolutely love it! I was instantly attracted to it because I love leopard print, and the inside doesn't let it down, looks so much better in person. It includes 24 eyeshadow's-a variety of pretty colours, four little applicators, two mirrors (which I covered up because of the reflection), two lipglosses, four bronzers, and two blushers. I've used it a few times, so its still pretty much unused, but I'm excited to carry on using it and experimenting with the colours. It was £15 but I got it for £10, its being discontinued, and I'm glad I nabbed it before then. Would recommend. Link here: Haute Jersey Leopard couture set

I also picked up a stick blush in Tulip, which looks scary at first (as I'm quite pale) but it applied lovely once spread out and blended. I chose this colour in case the paler colours didn't have much colour payoff, but this shade is perfect. I've been enjoying this since it arrived on monday, thought I'd start using blush like this again, instead of powder . This wasn't on sale, so this is available any time. Link here: Stick blush

Last but not least the diamond sparkle lipstick. This is also in the clearance to be discontinued. I picked it up in 'sparkling nude' as I fancied a more natural coloured lipstick, as I tend to steer towards a lot of bright colours. This is different to how I expected it to look, its way more frosty looking, I expected it to have some shimmer, but not a frosty finish. Its not an everyday look really, well not for me anyway, so I will wear it on nights out etc if I'm wearing dark smokey eyes and want the focus to be on them. Not sure if the finish suits me, but I'll give it a whirl. Ignore the chipped nails btw. Link here: Diamond sparkle lipstick

There are many many items I would love to purchase from there, I have a few things in mind. Let me know if you have tried these products and what you think of them.

Next up I have another haul, see you then,
