Saturdayy Shopping!!!! :D

As I work Monday to Friday, 8-4, the weekend is really my time. Like, I'll go shopping, lounge in bed all day or go somewhere I haven't been in a while which is what I did :)

Nearly every Saturday me and my family go shopping to the Bullring in Birmingham but we felt like a change so instead went to Merry Hill in Dudley. Personally I prefer the shops in the Bullring, mainly because I'm so used to going, but it was nice to see another perspective on how the shops would dress the mannequins and how the stores are laid out. Wow...did I just say that?!

Anyway, I thought I'd show you what I bought from my little trip to Merry Hill.

Tiger

A mini scorpion in a little plastic box. Super cute :3

A marble effect notebook. Because you can never have enough books :)

The Body Shop

Basically, because I used my loyalty card for the Body Shop, I managed to get £10 off my whole purchase because of my recent purchases and my birthday money (you get £5 on your birthday) :) So get a Loyalty card now!!! It's not hard at all, promise :) And it doesn't cost to join! You'll earn points every time you spend, 10 points per £1, and then in return you can have money off of products or even donate to available charities with what you've earned. All you'll need to give is your name, address, mobile number, birthday etc. the basic information. Then, when your birthday comes or events are coming up, you'll be updated with this news via email or text and then you can go wild with trying to products and spending all those points :D

Honey Bronze Tinted Leg Mist. Hopefully it's a lot quicker than fake tanning with a mitt :) No oil or shimmer, just spray onto legs.

Inflatable bath pillow. Everyone knows I looove a bath so I thought I'd give myself extra comfort with an inflatable pillow haha :D

Boots

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. Soo after a day at work, not going to lie, I can't be bothered to take my make-up off but as I've just turned 20, I told myself that I need to start looking after my skin and in the blogging community, I caved and got this beauty. I've already used it and wow...my skin feel soooo much better already and that's after 1 use! This paired with the muslin cloth is genius :D

Maybelline Color Drama Lipstick in Minimalist. I've already got this lipstick but in the shade 'Keep it Classy' and the formulation of this is insane! So I thought I'd get a new shade :D

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in 15 Rose Eclait. I never ever wear blush, mainly because when I do try I look like a clown haha :') but I thought I'd try something at least and this colour caught my eye straight away. I didn't want anything bold so a light dusky pink will do fine...hopefully :)

Look Good Feel Better Angled Blending brush. Now I'm desperately in need for another MAC 224 blending brush but didn't really want to spend that much on a brush and when I found this one, not only was it a pretty brush but was 1/4 of the price! This brand is the only worldwide charity that provides practical support for teenagers and women that are struggling with the physical effects of cancer. When purchased a percentage of the proceedings go towards the charity. Helping people and a beautiful brush...win win!!!

Nails Inc Alexa Hearts Red Hearts top coat. I've been eyeing this up for aggggeeeeesssss and when I saw it was the last one, I had to. Sorry. The brush is quite small so only a few hearts collect on the brush but I suppose it'd last longer :)

May Favourites.

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

Soooo I know these are a bit later but hey ho! haha! I really love seeing what people have been loving every month and trying out what they recommend so hopefully you'll enjoy reading about what I've been loving last month and let me know what you think about them as well :)

Make-up

If you know me then you'll know I looooove lipstick and lipgloss and anything like that so when I went to my local Boots just for browsing and stuff, I saw the packaging out the corner of my eye. Then I bought 3 of them :) They are the Revlon Ultra HD Lipsticks. Although there isn't that much in the bullet, the formula of these are incredible because they just glide on and are sooo buttery and the colour pay off is amazing!!! The colours I've got are Rose (which is like a muted pinky/mauve colour), Dahlia (which is like a burnt red colour) and Petunia (which is a bright fuchsia colour). Also, if you haven't gathered, they're all named after flowers which I think is soooo cute :3

After taking my make-up off after a day of work and I see a pesky spot I immediately freak out! I know it's normal and stuff because I'm still a teenager but I want to try and combat them as soon as I see them and I think I've found my holy grail:

Not only does this smell amazing due to the peppermint oil, the primrose seeds and aduki beans ex-foliate with the honey making the skin suuuper soft after rinsing. It's just awesome! The spots don't go straight away obviously but they do somewhat shrink and don't look as noticeable :D

Music

Nick Jonas. Oh...wow. Now flashback years and years to my first concert...The Jonas Brothers and although their stuff wasn't the best at all but those songs have the best memories in my opinion. But fast forward to now and Nick Jonas is a solo artist who's looking mighty fine ;) and has super catchy songs especially Jealous ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw04QD1LaB0 )

And that's all folks...

I know it's only a small amount for a month but there hasn't been anything that's popped out and has made me rave about it like these things but in the comments tell me anything that you think I should check out whether it's clothes, food, music, make-up etc. I'll give it a try :)

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

April Favourites!!

Hey Guys!!

How's it hanging??

No before I begin I just want to apologise because...I haven't got that many favourites :( Like literally I have 3...sorry.

Clothes

So when we went to Legoland, I really wanted some comfy clothes to get there and back and I follow Drop Dead clothing on Instagram and because they have a Gremlins collection out and if anyone knows me I loooooove the Gremlins so of course a purchase had to be made. When I went on the website there was an offer for if you spend £100 or over you get free next day delivery or if you spend £50 or over you get free standard delivery and it just so happened the things I wanted totalled £100 :D So I got the Gremlins hoodie and matching jogging bottoms and I'm not joking when I say I wear them all the time! The material is sooooo soft and comfortable and because the print is actually in the material rather than a transfer, the design stays a lot longer :) yayyy!!!

Make-up & Beauty

Soap and Glory body spray in Fruitigo is heaven! It's a fruity smell (obvs) but yet isn't as sweet as you'd think which is probably the reason why I've used up half the bottle. It doesn't really have a lasting smell so you'd have to top up a couple of times but I don't mind ;)

Fashion

Now if I'm honest I couldn't imagine myself putting these actual words together but...I loooove rings! haha! I wouldn't normally say this because I have sausage fingers and every ring I try on never fits even the large ones but thanks to the midi rings some of them actually fit!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

That's all folks! :D Probably the shortest Monthly Favourites I've done and hopefully my May ones will be longer!

Thank you sooo much!!

See you later guys.

Huuuuuggee Haul!

Hey Guys!

How's it hanging?

So I kind of went to Merry Hill (a shopping centre in Dudley near Birmingham) and kind of spent a lot of money but that obviously means that I reeeeally wanted to tell you what I got. I just want to say that these posts on hauls aren't to show off but are what I bought and you'd hopefully see something on here and want to try it out :) So here we goooooo!!

SUPERDRUG

So every time I go shopping the 2 shops I always go to are both Boots and Superdrug and because I'd bought Tanya's lashes in the 'Date Night', which are amazinggg by the way, I really wanted a more subtle look so I thought I'd buy these so I can add as many as I want. As my eyelashes aren't that long I'd probably use more of the 'long' ones but could apply all the 3 lengths if I wanted to :)

Now this purchase was mainly down to Estée Lalonde a.k.a Essie Button from YouTube. She went off on a tangent about this lip butter and thought 'I have to buy this' so...I did. Now I may have already opened this and have it on my lips as I write and it's very very creamy/moisturising but I'm not hugely amazed at the smell of it but I'm very happy with it as long as I don't smell it haha! :D

Now if you've been reading my blog posts for a while you'd know that every Sunday I'll have a bath and I'll write a blog post about what I used in my bath, what I watched in the bath etc. and most recently I've been putting a face mask on and so I thought I'd stock up and got 3 more masks:

HOTEL CHOCOLAT

Now if you know me I looooove chocolate and I just couldn't resist...at all...like seriously ;) I might just go demolish these right now...brb.

YANKEE CANDLE

As well as make-up, food, clothes and shoes, I also have a slight obsession with candles and when I found out that Yankee have done a collection called 'Cafe Culture I just had to. Omg. These smell insane!! Inspired by smells of the cafe life style so I bought 'Pain au Raisin', 'Tarte Tatin' and 'Cappuccino Truffle'. They smell quite sweet and actually smell like they say that there going to!!

NEW LOOK

As I live in England, it rains and the weather is pretty shit most of the time and I've only ever owned 1 umbrella ever that changed colour in the rain and I thought I was the dogs bollocks! haha! But I can't find it any more :'( So I thought I'd invest in one and found this beauty.I instantly fell in love with the leather-like handle and that colour! Wow! There was another one with a pink handle and cartoon fast food but I preferred this one which has the quote 'Rain drops keep falling on my head' and it's see through :)

I really wanted, actually no needed, some new socks because I tend to go through soooo many that I only really have white trainer socks left and because I was in New Look and they had this deal of 3 pairs of socks for £4 and I seriously couldn't resist the pug socks! Looookkkk!!!!! :3

LUSH

Obviously I need more bath products for my bath and what's the best place for that...Lush of course! I'd heard really good things about the 'Mask of Magnaminty' from YouTubers and as I tend to get pretty bad spots, especially when Aunt Irma comes along :( and I've tried quite a lot of products that say they help eliminate spots etc etc. but I thought I'd try it :D

As you probably know, if you read my 'Suds Sunday' posts, I do looove a good bit of bubbles and I purely bought this because it smelt pretty good and when she put the label on it, it said 'Bubbleroon' which means it gives you lots and lots of bubbles :D yay!!!! I also heard good things about the 'Immaculate Eggception' in Pink and it also smells sooo nice so again, why not ;P

BOOTS

Now time to go to the mother-land! I'm completely in loooove with Real Techniques brushes and I've had my eye on the Blush brush for some time now and I finally decided today was the day! Aaaanndd it's just my look because it was buy 1 get the 2nd half price and because I've already got the shading brush I got myself another one because you can never have enough eye shadow brushes especially when they are such gooood quality!!

I've never ever had a problem with Barry M, especially their nail varnishes,which are an absolute bargain by the way!! And I really needed a black nail varnish because the last one I had separated and no matter how much I shook it, it never went back to normal and because there was a deal of buy 1 get the 2nd half price and the 2nd one I got I saw out the corner of my eye :) The black one is called 'Black' and the pretty pink sparkly is called 'Atlantis' from the Aqua collection I think it's called...

Now this is a controversial product and I can't really have my say without actually buying it can I? ;) So here it is... Benefit's They're Real Mascara. I've had a look at the brush and it kind of reminds me of Collections' Volumising mascara which is a little bit fatter but fingers crossed it's as good as people say it is :D

Now, I don't really want to say this too early on in the relationship but I think I'm in love... <3 This lipstick is the one. If you've read a previous blog when I mentioned the other 2 colours I bought, 2 wasn't enough! I'm really into my warm pink colours lately and when I saw this in the shop, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't buy it.

P.S. Sorry about the blurry pic. It's number 830 called 'Rose'.

PRIMARK

So this top is probably controversial but I love it. I love the Kardashians and not afraid to admit is especially as this top is £2!!!!!

I've been looking for a nice boxy kind of bag and the design of the front reminded me of a Mulberry bag, especially the little clasp so obviously I needed it in my life. Plus it's black so it'll go with the majority of everything I wear!

TOPSHOP

An absolute steal from Topshop today! I saw this hat and didn't really take much notice until I saw the price and not even joking, I ran to the till to buy it. #noshame.
