Mini haul/review:

Hey guys! I'm back with a mini haul, I say mini because there's only a few items. I'm expecting a delivery very soon, and that will be next on my list when it arrives.

So I went into Matalan earlier and spotted a rucksack bag with studs on (remember I love studs) and was instantly attracted.


The features include:

  • Its a decent size bag in a faux leather material
  • Has a studded panel at the front with a zip above
  • It also has two zips on either side of the bag with another two storage areas
  • It has a drawstring on the main entrance point and  a flap over it, with a little buckle
  • Inside it has another zip pocket with a mobile phone holder
  • The inside is plain black
  • And two adjustable straps on the back
I love this bag, and it was only £15 which isn't too bad. This little fashion bargain can be integrated into my wardrobe with ease as black goes with everything. I will definitely get my money's  worth out of it.

Next up I picked up my fave dry shampoo/backcombing spray from ASDA. Its the VO5 plump it up dry backcombing spray. Last time I bought it is was on offer at 2 for £5, but this time it was on a 3 for £7. So I purchased three of them. It retails at £3 on its own. 


About:

  • It doesn't specifically say 'dry shampoo' anywhere in the description, but it definitely works as one. Although it does say it can be used as a 'pick me up style recativator'. My hair gets greasy quite quickly, and it targets my oil successfully. 
  • It doesn't seem to leave a white powdery finish like batiste can sometimes do. Once massaged in and combed through it vanishes. 
  • It does the job well with no stickiness. I tried one of those hair powders once which add volume, but my hair and fingers ended up feeling sticky, not a nice feeling. 
  • On the back it also explains that it can be used as a backcombing spray 'Backcombing effect, but without the mess & less damage' which I think is great. I hate backcombing my hair, I can never get it to look right and trying to brush it out is a nightmare (my hair already gets tangled). 
  • It certainly gives it more lift and makes it look thicker, I have fine hair that tends to just look flat and lifeless. You spray it in, massage your scalp with fingertips and that's it your ready.
  • In the ingredients list it has collagen added into the mixture.
This is by far my fave dry shampoo/hair plumper that I will continue to buy. Its a staple hair product for me. 
I'd rate this  9/10. Bargain beauty buy. 

Coming up I have a haul and some reviews. I will post as soon as my delivery arrives.

See you all soon

Another boohoo haul:

Welcome back guys, here's the haul that I promised would be up today. I decided to take the pictures myself, so hopefully you can see them clearly. Still trying to decide where the pics should be taken, and how to take them etc.

So lets jump right in shall we!



So first up we have this velvet sleeveless skater dress, which is currently in the sale section. I'm trying to add colour into my wardrobe lately, and I figured since I already have some red dresses I would go for this rich deep green colour. I don't own anything like this, and its definitely one to either dress up or dress down.
I cant wait to start experimenting with it and create looks, it can be implemented into girly styles, grungy styles and many more.


I got this dress a few months ago, and yet again I think it is very versatile for a variety of styles, you can wear it during the day or dress it up for an evening out somewhere. Its a swing style, and I love the deep red colour, perfect for Winter. I usually just layer it up with a slouchy comfy cardigan as its sleeveless. On a few occasions I've teamed it with a red lip and it just looks great without having to do too much to it. The lace also adds texture and dimension to the dress.


Next we have this jumper dress: its cold outside and sometimes I just feel like being dressed down with a pair of leggings and boots. You know those days where you don't have a lot of time, and just need to nip out without making too much effort beforehand, effortless style yet practical.


Heart print shawl cardigan: I love being warm and comfy during the winter months, and you can team almost any outfit with a cardigan to layer up, they are definitely a staple in my wardrobe. Can never have too many cardigans I say, and this has a cute heart design. I chose grey and black to go with different outfits, its available in three colours and two sizes (S/M & M/L).


And last but not least: Skull scarf - this scarf is actually from Primark but I thought I would add it in with this haul. I have a bit of an obsession with skulls, and this is covered in them. Its quite thick and keeps me warm when out and about, and its from the men's section ( always find some beauties there).

Studded beanie: I love love love studs and spikes, so this is perfect for me. Skulls and studs/spikes are two of my fave things. This was from boohoo and was a bargain at £4.

Thank you lovelies for taking a peak at my haul and posts so far. Feel free to comment and ask me any questions I will be happy to respond. Also if you have any requests let me know. See you all soon xx
