I need you anyway.

Hi Lovelies!! 

I'm back with a haul, it feels like it's been so long since I've done one but I'm sure it really hasn't been all that long. I'll be posting a clothes haul soon, but for now here are there items I've picked up recently from Boots and Superdrug. I've realised I've missed out a few items, so expect another beauty haul sometime soon!

Unfortunately the photo quality isn't great, but I was eager to post this (so I could crack open the products and use them) and whenever I return home from work I miss the best of the daylight. 


Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
Rimmel Kate Moss in 01
Sleek Blusher in Rose Gold
Garnier Perfect Blur
Gosh Brow Gel in Clear
Touch of Silver Conditioner
Simple Foaming Cleanser
Simple Revitalising Eyeroller
Simple Eye Make-up Corrector Pen
Ecotools Five Piece Complexion Set


I've been on a bit of skin care kick, mine is so temperamental and at the age of 21, it's now really starting to annoy me. I'm developing a new routine for skin care, as Simple products were on offer (3 for 2) and I know I'm not allergic to them, I couldn't resist! 



I was so torn on which of the lip butters I should get next, and despite setting out with the intention of getting a pink shade, I ended up going for a muted coral colour. 


I've heard so much about the Kate Moss lipstick range, especially about the red shades. I finally caved and decided to test this out for myself. 




I'll be reviewing a few bits and pieces over the next few weeks, but if there's anything in particular you would like me to review, just let me know! :)

Spring Haul!

Hi lovelies!

It's a miracle, i'm back with a post actually somewhat related to fashion and beauty. I hope you don't mind that there's been a massive increase in my life-related posts, but a lot is going on in my life at the moment and I feel the need to share it!
Anyway, I am back with another haul! I've been an excellent bargain hunter the past couple of weeks, and I've sold a lot on amazon and ebay so I figured I could treat myself. (I'd also like to document- it's been 2 weeks since payday, and I'm still not broke. This is unheard of!)


Skirt, Crop Top, bracelets and Earrings are all from New Look. I found myself in a 90's mood! I think my choice of outfit shows. 

Excuse the photo, there's a lack of long mirrors in my house and I don't have a tripod; my bad!




Teamed with my pumps from Primark, I think this makes such a fun outfit!
What's even better is that for the all of my New Look goodies, I only spent about £28. Pretty impressive I think! 

I bought the bag from on a blog sale over on Kassie's blog! I love it, it's quite small which means I can't carry around half of the useless things I usually hoard and that can only mean it's doing wonders for my shoulder! 


I pounced on the MUA eyeshadow palette on the same day as the above outfit was bought, can you tell?
The Macadamia hair mask has been much needed, since bleaching my hair (yet again!) to try and become a false-ginger it has been in some much needed TLC. I've only used it once so far and I can already see massive improvements. It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth it!
I bought the Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser upon the recommendation of my friend as she knew I had my eye on the Liz Earle cleanser, now I've still not tried the Liz Earle one, but I'm so happy with this one that I really don't feel the need to! 

These books were 99p each from The Works...I couldn't resist. 

Now for a few things that aren't in the main photos above, but purchases that I am super happy with!

(Again, excuse the photo!)
These harem-style trousers are from ebay, and holy cow are they comfortable. These are ideal for that one hour of hot sun the UK will get in the future. 

My bed wanted in on the Spring-style overhaul, so I swooped on this duvet set and pillow covers. I absolutely love them. 

Oh look, another ebay purchase.
I found this super comfortable desk chair for £50, which I think is pretty good for a chair like this! I've ordered myself an iMac (...on finance, oops) so I needed something a little bit nicer than the plastic chair I was previously using.
(Speaking of which, my iMac arrived just as I was starting this blog post, it's still in it's packaging- that's dedication!) 


For those of you who haven't heard, Paramore's new album is out and I've had it on non-stop repeat. It's so pop-rock perfect. Completely different to their old stuff, but I love it!
I was also lucky enough to go to their intimate gig in London (at a venue that old holds 650 people) and they were incredible. I queued up for a few hours but after 3 songs near the front and some drunk girl almost ripping my earrings out and bruising my ribs, I bailed out and went to stand at the back. It was an excellent choice, I could see perfectly and really appreciate the music. Everyone who attended received a numbered plectrum, and that's mine next to the album! 

That's it for today! I'm still waiting for a few things to arrive in the post, so there's a chance of another haul! If there's anything here that you'd like to see reviewed, let me know!

Highstreet Haul

Hi lovelies!

I'm back with a fashion/beauty related post, after my past few seem to have strayed a little bit! I just enjoy using this space for a bit of anything and everything, I hope that's okay with you guys.
I've made a quick trip to Primark and Superdrug over the past couple of days, and I thought I'd share it with you as I managed to buy enough to keep me satisfied without breaking the bank.


As you can see, i'm still getting over excited with the prospect of summer but I did try to be a bit sensible about it. 
I love the new platform Converse style shoes, over the past few months I've been in the habit of wearing something with a bit of a heel to make my short-ness less obvious to the world, but (hopefully) it'll start being too hot for boots, so these are nice little replacement.


 I really love the new black and white top that I think would go nicely with pair of black skinny jeans and the shoes, it's quite a baggy top but I'm guessing that's the style, I'll probably add a brown rope waist belt to it though. 

Platform Pumps- £8
Aztec Top- £8



On the even more summery side of things, I grabbed a pair of white espadrilles and this white crop top with fringe detail (perfect for still keeping your midriff covered but not overheating in the sun.) I've ordered a pair of boho baggy trousers that I think would go perfectly with these, I just need the sunshine to arrive for me to test this theory out! 

Crop Top- £6
Espadrilles- £4 

To add to the summer kick, I popped into Superdrug to pick up a few items (one of which I featured on my last wishlist


Sleek Blusher- Life's a Peach - £4.49
Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter- Tutti Frutti - £7.99
Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine- Lychee - £3.99
MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter - £2



I've been using all three of these items for the past few days, it seems I have become addicted to orange and corals; I never would have expected this of me but snow in March does weird things to a person! 

I'm pretty sure this is the first haul post i've done, so what do we think? There won't be frequent posts like this as I'm trying to be sensible with my money these days, but I like seeing that I managed to buy a few things and not having to feel guilty about it! 
I decided to jazz up the photos a little bit, and hopefully they're a bit more visually pleasing!

If you guys don't already know, I now have a youtube channel so please do subscribe to me over there too! Click me :)
