London Haul

Today I am going to show you all the things the things I got whilst in London the past couple of days.

I got to go to most of the shops that I wanted to go, as we don't have a lot of them down here, so I'm happy with everything I got.

Primark- £2

Boots- L to R- Pink Cloud, Cool, Rosey Glow- 3 for £5

Primark- L to R- shoes £6, jeans £11, tartan scarf £4, pink knitted scarf £4

I'm so pleased that I managed to visit a M.A.C store as I've only ever been in one before and never got the chance to buy anything while I was there  so this time I took my time to take it all in and admire the products (a bit obsessed? I think so) and finally decided on a lipstick, (it had to be a lipstick of course!), and that was Crosswires, I had seen this mentioned by Estee (essiebutton) before and when I saw it I thought I would see if I liked it just as much as she did, and obviously I did! its a lovely coral-y pink that's quite bold but not too much for everyday wear; I also think it's quite suitable for all year round as it doesn't quite fit into any specific category, although if I had to I would say it more of a spring/summer colour more down to it's brightness. Anyway I love it and am happy to finally have a M.A.C lippy in my collection.

Also as there was an offer on Natural Collection I decided to pick up three items; I initially went to pick up a blusher as I've heard good things despite the cheap price tag, however when I saw the offer I could refuse, I mean it would be rude not to, right? I haven't got a proper pinky blush so I thought Pink Cloud would be a nice addition to my makeup bag and I thought that Rosey Glow (although it looks quite dark in the pictures) might be a nice autumn/winter colour, slightly similar to my Sleek Antique blush, although matte.

Finally the obvious stop was primark! The one on Oxford Street is so huge compared to my local one that I actually had to give up and leave with what I had, it was just so overwhelming and to much choice. However I did manage to get a few things that I'm really happy with especially the scarves! 

I did actually buy a few things in H&M and Forever 21 as well but they were more basics (less interesting) and just general clothes that I needed.

I had a really great time in London, it's still such a novelty for me to go up there as I live so far away, so I really make the most of it when I get the chance.

I hope you enjoyed this little feature and this haul, don't forget to check me out at my other links, and remember I'm doing the #2014bloggerchallenge in the new year so keep an eye out for those posts!

London Day #3

Hello again,
So today was a lot more laid back and fun compared to yesterday, although we had to leave the travelodge quite early.

This morning we went to the London Dungeons, which was great as I've never been before and have always wanted to go. It was very jumpy and tense yet that made it all funnier especially everyone's reactions (boys included, their not as macho as they make out). Overall it was really fun and definitely worth it.

After that we had some free time to wonder Oxford Street and shop of course, while waiting for our coach. I can tell you it was a very successful afternoon, and I think I just about have all my christmas presents sorted as well as sone treats for me, shh.

Finally after waiting for the other half of our group we're now on the coach home, feeling very sleepy and eager to get back in my own bed.

I hope it hasn't been to boring reading about my trip, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the pictures anyway.
Thanks for reading my post and don't forget to check me out on twitter and bloglovin, also I'm taking part in the #2014bloggerchallenge so look out for those posts up in the new year.

I'll be posting a haul of what I got whilst in London soon.

London Day #1 & Day #2

First of all apologies if this post looks odd or different, I'm writing it from my phone as the title explains, I'm going to London!

I wasn't planning on writing about it but considering it will be so christmassy I thought it might make a nice feature and I'll be able to share the pictures I take too.

Yesterday we just travelled down on a coach so I didn't think that was too interesting to write about.

However as I'm on this trip for law we had to get on with the educational (boring) bits first. With an early rise this morning we took the tube to the Houses of Parliament and had a guided tour.
After that we went over to Stanford Bridge and had a guided tour of the stadium, which as I'm not a huge fan of football was surprisingly interesting and cool especially as my family support Chelsea (lucky right?).

Finally we got the tube back to Westminster and had a talk in the Supreme Court. A bit sleep inducing at points but at last we got to go shopping! With an all day, all zone tube ticket we roamed London til our feet were sore, only coming back to the travelodge at 10.

Successful afternoon/evening of shopping and wondering around London, topped of with my FIRST EVER MAC PURCHASE! Woo finally I got my hands on the goods, I bought a lipstick of course but I'll dedicate a whole other post to that lovely when I'm home.

Hope you enjoyed this post and I'll update again tomorrow on the journey home.

Zoeva Wishlist

So I've heard of Zoeva before but never really taken a look at their products, and I was pleasantly surprised when I did. They are a lot cheaper than I thought they would be and look really lovely. The only down side is the expensive p+p, however if you build up what you want or save up I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Just from browsing the site I already have a slight wishlist, so I thought I'd share it with you.

1/2/3/4/5/6/7

The packaging is gorgeous and sleek, the brushes look so nice and there have been plenty of good reviews on them. The neutral palette was the biggest shock for me as you get 28 shadows and there is such an amazing selection of colours, also its only about £16! (exc. p+p) which is a bargain is you compare it to MAC or similar makes.

At the moment with christmas and birthdays at the same time I can't afford to get anything yet but I'm hoping in the new year a few of these products may be on it's way to me. Birthday wishlist I'm thinking. 

Hope you enjoyed looking at my droolings.

November Favourites!

Rimmel Kate-107

Maybelline The Falsies- Black Drama

I bought near the beginning of November as I needed a new mascara after my Maybelline Colossal running low and I thought I would take a break from my favourite and try out the famous Falsies that has been much raved about. I genuinely really like it, I still prefer the Colossal don't get me wrong but I do see why it is much loved and will buy this again; I got this in Black Drama because I always like my lashes to be as dark as possible.  

Philosophy Hope in a Jar moisturiser

I was gifted this after subscribing to Company magazine and my original subscription gift had run out of stock, so they gave me a different gift worth the same price instead; I'l tell you what I'm glad they did I love this! It's the 60ml pot which isn't the biggest available but it is worth about £34! It's such a lovely texture and is so light, you don't need a lot either so it lasts and is definitely worth the money, oops may have a new money draining addiction.

Sleek Antique Blush

I have already reviewed this product here but I continue to use it and it is so lovely for this time of year; being limited edition I hope I don't use this up to fast!

Barry M Berry Cosmo Nail Polish

This too has already made my rave list and I have raved about it over here, it is just perfect for autumn, is a gorgeous colour and it lasts a good amount of time too.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick 107

I haven't yet mentioned this since I bought it but I have worn it a lot! I haven't really worn lipstick for that long but for some reason I feel so comfortable wearing this even though it is bright. I just love it and think it can really complete your make up.

Stipple Brush

I bought this off eBay quite a while ago in a set and never really used it much, but I have been using it with my Sleek blush as it is so pigmented and this picks up the perfect amount of product without over doing it. It has super soft bristles and yes I know it needs a wash I'm on it ok.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Creme 477 Black Cherry

I had been looking for a lipstick a bit darker than my Rimmel one but still a plummy red colour that didn't completely wash out my pale skin, which I thought would be a tough job, but then I found this! I had looked up berry lipsticks and ones people recommended and this one popped up quite a lot, so I thought I'd give it a go. It is so lovely and so pigmented, it can be dabbed on for a lighter wash or put on for full colour, although I love this lippy I do find if I'm not careful it can become quite dark with a few layers and can look a bit much for everyday, however this could be great for an evening out so just a bit of trial and error and care and it will look gorgeous! (oh and it also makes you teeth look whiter, bonus!)

Collection Colour Lash Mascara- Clear

I know this isn't a great colour and is looking a bit grubby now but it is brilliant for eyebrows rather than lashes! Now personally I've never understood the use of clear mascara and never found it's done much on mine personally but it is great for keeping my brows tamed! I don't fill in my eye brows as I'm fair and quite pale so I don't think it suits me, although it could be my lack of skill, still this does a brilliant job of keeping them neat and is super cheap too.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my favourites of last month.
