Mini Primark haul/purchase:

Hello everyone, I'm back! I've been away for a while. Thought I would start back up with a small haul/purchase. Lets get straight in to it.



 First up we have this Adventure Time T shirt with three characters on it. This was a gift and was only £6. Bargain.



And this cute little number, a Lion King cropped T shirt. This was £6 but I got it for £3. Love it! What's not to love? Cheap as chips.

A little update for you all, I have finally started a YouTube channel after thinking about it for years. I uploaded my first video the other day. If you are interested here's the link YouTube channel . Would appreciate if you would give it a look. I'm planning on uploading regularly and pairing it up with my blog. I'm going to keep it beauty, fashion and lifestyle. 

Thank you for taking the time to view this, I'll be uploading regularly again from now on. See you soon.

Hair haul:

I came across this amazing bundle offer on Boots by Lee Stafford. It's the hair growth range 'for hair that never grows past a certain length' phew that's a mouthful.



You get two shampoo's, two conditioners and two hair treatments.
I have used the shampoo and hair treatment before, it gave my hair the kick start in growth it needed when I started to grow my pixie cut type hairstyle out. I noticed the treatment made hair fallout a little less, and that's the main reason I am using it again, and I want to add some more inches to my hair. My hair is stubborn and takes its time growing. 

I have friends that can have their hair cut into a bob, and in 6-8 months time its back way past their shoulders and beyond. Mine on the other hand would need years for that. I'm not too far away from my goal now, but it has been a long long time. I will kick my hairs ass with this bundle =] it better watch out. 

This does have quite a strong perfume smell to it, a bit headachey really, so if you don't like strong smelling products, this isn't for you. The smell takes me back to being in high school when I used the heat protectant. 

This set was £25, and you save just over £20. It's so worth it. I couldn't miss out on a deal like that! It's expensive and every saving helps. Buy it here .

That's all for hair, I have a makeup haul coming up next.

Superdrug haul:

Yup I'm back with the Superdurg haul I mentioned in my last post. Lets dive straight in, no time like the present.


  • So I picked up a mixture of things including basic everyday things. I got the Bic twin lady shavers, they are cheap and cheerful and work really well. They are cute colours also.
  •  Plump it up dry shampoo by VO5, I need dry shampoo its a must! I also have flat fine hair so anything that gives boost is a must. I usually get the dry backcombing spray but it wasn't on offer, this was. 
  • I love the St.Ives face scrubs, so wanted to try this new olive oil face scrub, I need face scrubs.
  • I came across B,Creative face kits, on offer for £9.99 instead of £14.99. I got it for light skin tones. It includes a concealer, highlighter, face powder, foundation and a application sponge. It's fab and cant wait to give it a try, I will pop some swatches down below.  
  • I love Sleek, and have been eyeing up the new precious metals highlighting palette. At the time I could not justify £9.99, but now I have it. It has three velvet cream formulas and one powder. The finishes are platinum, royal gold, renaissance gold and antique bronze. It includes a brush. So excited I love highlighters. Again I will post a swatch picture somewhere below.
  • And last but not least dental floss lol, because its essential. 



B.creative/Art edition vol.5/pro face kit- light. Swatches below, it's hard to see: Get here .






Sleek highlighting palette. Swatches below: Get here .




Homeware Haul:

Hello, happy weekend everyone! I purchased a few items for the home, and here they are:



Beautiful chests from Dunelm Mill! I had to have the small, medium and large. Couldn't not have the full set. All three came to £64.97. Small is £14.99, medium £19.99 and large £29.99. They are hand painted and come in different designs. I haven't decided exactly where I'm putting them yet, not going to keep them stacked like this lol. You get free delivery over £49. I cant wait to display these and store things in them. They are sturdy enough for me, maybe not for overly heavy things, but for what I need them for. They are decently sized as well, so even the small is roomy. I'm just in love with them. Find them here.


I saw this vase with flowers in online at first and picked it up when I was in the shop. It was £8 and dropped to £4 so I thought why not? I cant find it online so maybe it has sold out there, not sure about the stores though. Needed a decorative feature for a small windowsill. 

I have a Superdrug haul coming next, see you then,

Just a little haul:

Hey guys! Hope you all had a fab New Year, cant believe how its flying already. I'm back with a haul for you.


You cant really see this all that well but, it's a pretty £2 necklace from Primark. It's gold with little gems  running all the way across, with a little zig zag pattern underneath. It also has a blue string plaited in with the chain. I loved it and its a bargain, a must have if you like your statement necklaces, and its not over the top.


Moving on to beauty. First up from the left is a V05 smoothly does it shine spray, which is also a heat defence product. Then the tea tree facial cleansing pads from Superdrug. I've used these for years and they were on a two for one offer. Next we have the Schwarzkopf got 2 b beach matt texturizing salt spray which I haven't tried yet. This would be perfect for summer. And last but by no means least the naturally radiant brightening renewal face mask from Superdrug.  I've used another product from this range and I love it. It does state its not for sensitive skin so I would definitely not recommend it if you do, I've used this once and I got a small rash on my face. So be careful. It's a once a week treatment and was half price.

That's all for the time being, but I do have a home-ware haul coming up shortly.

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.
