Saucy Sailor- Dainty doll lipstick ♥

I adore lipsticks.. But usually tend to stick to Pink.. peachy shades and never really think to try a colour like a nice daring red. Dainty doll is Nicola Roberts own make-up brand specially designed for extremely pale skin Although I am pale I'm not that pale.. But still wanted to try out some of there makeup.

A selection of Dainty Doll products can be bought on Fragrance Direct.. for £1.99 bargain! I picked up a few lovely blushes and couldn't resist a lipstick I was instantly attracted to the name 'Saucy Solider  its a lovely deep red and I'm going to make my self wear it more often as I do think it is lovely.

Haul.. Primark, TK Maxx, Yankee candle, Boots

So today this happened.. The simple 'Finished work lets go for a browse round a few shops and not intend to buy anything' and obviously I got a bit carried away..

I wanted to have a look for a new foundation.. As much as I love my current Revlon Colour stay Its getting a little TOO much for everyday especially for work.

Anyway lets start with Primark because lets face it.. everyone loves a good Primarni haulage!

I was instantly drawn to these tan Aztec style boots.. and they where in my size FATE I love that there a bit unique and edgy I'm not too sure how to style these yet but they where a snip at only £10 reduced from £18.

Now.. I've wanted a leather style jacket in so long but didn't want to pay a crazy price.. I spied this in a sale rack for only £10 the knitted style sleeves really add to the effect and make it such a nice classy everyday piece.. Originally £25 now that I call a bargain!

I love spikes, I love Ombre and I love cardigans. So I obviously had to pick this up it was £5 in the sale down from £14, I got it two sizes up so its more over sized and loose fitted. 

TK maxx

Again following the 'Ombre' trend I instantly fell in love with this light weight jumper from a brand named 'Alia' I believe.. I fell inlove even more when I seen the price of £4 what a bargain!

I'm starting to get into leggings jeans more now instead of skirts and dresses all the time.. I spotted this 'Jeggins' from a brand called Like an angel.. and where in the sale for £5 from £15. I thought they where really simple and stylish they have sort of a subtle bitty glittery pattern in them which just makes them look a little more interesting.

*Other*

Rimmel Match Perfection foundation 30ml.. (Wilkinson's Offer £4.99 RRP £6.99)

Collection Cover and go (Superdrug offer £3.99 RRP £5.99) 

As I said I wanted a new foundation with a more 'Natural' finish I seen these on offer and thought I would try them I've heard alot of hype surrounding the Match perfection, As a lover of the lasting perfection and Wake me up I defiantly wanted to give this ago.

Collection Cover & Go.. I haven't heard or read about this product but seeing this in store really intrigued me, It's basically a Foundation with a concealer in the lid.. LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT! So I'm looking forward to testing it out in due course.

I couldn't resist this sweet little owl from Home bargains for my newly decorated room.. for a snip at £1.99 So so so cute!!

And finally... A YANKEE CANDLE.

I've wanted a crisp white Yankee candle for my room in so long.. but the smells just weren't to appealing.. smelling like talk or towels I'm a sucker for a nice candle.  Anyway a local candle boutique called 'Candle Heaven' where having a mega mega sale and I got this for £8 RRP £16.99 so a bit of a bargain you might say.. Although it is 'sparkling snow' and a Christmas edition.. yes where going into spring I just couldn't resist It smells so nice!! 

So thats my haul.. Considering I didn't intend on buying anything I did pretty well OOPS!

Glamorous Disco pants.

Shirt- Primark, Disco Pants- Glamorous, Bag-Newlook, Shoes Primark!

 

 

I recently went to my Cusions 21st birthday party, The theme was Ska-Beats meaning black and white! This only meant one thing out came the oh so loved Glamorous Disco Pants!

 

They are the comfiest, Most flattering piece of clothing ever.. And sure do you get complimented ALOT on these beauties, As they come with the zip as well of pockets they are just simply amazing and can be worn anytime!

The Range: bargain shabby homewear haul

Recentley I have found some lovely little shabby chic peices, I thought would be great as last minute gift ideas for any girlie girls as something different and thoughtful!

 

The Range- £3.99

 

I found this beautiful 3D pearly pink flower and butterfly candle in the wedding section of The Range, This candle is simply stunning to look at and comes with a little gift tag labeling 'with love'. Although this candle has no scent I don't mind as this is not a candle I would ever burn its far to pretty. It looks so luxuary and expensive when in reality it is super cheap at under £4.

 

 

I love these little wall hangings, The memo board was a steal at only £1.49, and the LOVE was a rather barginous £1.99, This is actually a little photo frame but I love the shabby paris picture that came with it :)

 

I adore this little bird, How cute is he please?

He has a worn vintage shabby look and is just so sweet on display! Ahhhhh this little beauty was a teeny tiny £1.99 how could anyone resist?

 

To match the bird I picked up this heart, with the same pattern they look adorable together. This was also £1.99

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! shabby shabby.. I'm like a magpie let loose in this shop but managed to stay calm and only pick a few little beauts up I reccomend anyone to go and have a look round I promise you WILL NOT regret it :)

 

Have a nice day

Monthly loves.

Here are my current monthly faves!

My faves this month are mainly skincare/Body related as I haven't bought much make-up recently. 

Way to go me Yay!

Burt's Bees natural anti blemish solution toner. £9.99

As soon as you apply this your skin just feels so fresh, It gives an almost tingly fresh feeling. It has quite a strong fragrence, but I think this is what makes this such a great toner It feels as though it really works. 

No7 Essential Moisture day cream £9.00

I tend to stock up on this when the famous £5 No7 vouchers are about. I love the rich luxurios feel of this as soon as you apply it it just seems to sink into the skin leaving it feeling soft and extremely moisturized.

The Body Shop Honey & Oat mask £9.00

This has been my faverouite for sometime now, but this month I have really began to re-find my love for this product, I love the smell the consistency and how it leaves your skin feeling fresh. The oats in the product make it seem gently exfoliating as if you have given your skin a real treat

Loriel Proffesional Mythic Oil £12.55 here

I have loved this ever since it was released in the salon, I have yet to come across someone who does not like this product yet. Being a hairdresser my clients absoulutley love this stuff and always wonder what this 'Miracle' hair product is that I use on their hair.

It smells absoulutley divine, It is light and really conditioning to the hair, It really is my holy grail hair product and I simply cannot be without it 

*You are my sunshine my only sunshine*

Loriel Colour Riche lipstick 286 Burning rose £8.19

I have been loving this lipstick recently, It is especially my faverouite on nights out as this baby does not budge. The colour is a really nice bright rose colour that stains the lips. I love these lipsticks because they are super moisturizing, Smell amazing and simply last along time. 

Eyelure lash fix 

As an addict of false lashes I have searched everywhere for a good eyelash glue when I came across this in savers for around £1.50, You get alot of product for your money and so far I have not had a problem with this my lashes stay in place perfectly.  

Soap and Glory Clean on me £5.50

Theres just nothing I don't love about this, It smells amazing, It lathers up well is moisturizing and is generally just a great versatile product. The 500ml bottle really does last meaning you get alot for your money.

Soap and Glory Glam a lot £6.50 for a 250ml bottle (mines only 100ml)

Mist you madly has been my absolute must have fragrance, So I wanted to try out the other variety's. I got the three mini set for my birthday and I have found another new love.. These Soap and Glory scents never do seese to amaze me! Glam-A-Lot makes a great alternative for a more heavier flirty night time scent.

Revlon Photo Ready face primer £11.99

I've tried many of make-up primers but haven't been to impressed or seen great results. So when I recived this in the post as a competition win I was excited to give it a go. I have been really impressed by this it seems to transform the way my make-up looks, The lasting element of my make-up and how well it looks in photographs (This really does make a difference in photos and makes your make-up look flawless)

I have a full review of this coming soon so keep a look out :)

What have been in your faves this month??

MUA £1 lipstick amazingness!

This week I fetured in More magazine in the this week You love page, Where each week they ask you to tweet your fave beauty product at the moment.. and then you could appear in the next weeks mag! Amazing :)

 

Exuse Blackberry attempt quality of a photo!

'I'm loving MUA's £1 Lipsticks! So many shades and such good quality...Bargain!'

And I meant every word!

 

Why do I love them so much?  

They are one of the most loveliest lipsticks I have ever tried they are buttery soft in texture and feel really light and moisturising on the lips, They last really well too not mentioning they smell amazing!

The quality of these really do exceed expectations, for £1 you would think you get what you pay for but with these you get much much more for your money. They are crazy pigmented and the color pay off is amazing!

So far I have 6 of these (Although 2 are the same as I love them so much)

(L-R, Shades 4, 15,16,7)

As you can see the colour pay off is really really well. They have an almost glossy finish to them.

I'm not to sure why but shades 15 and 16 have names (Juicy + Nectar) where 4, 7 do not. so slight confusing there.

I can't recommend these enough, For £1 they are an amazing bargain MUA truly have some gems in there Bargain make-up line, Which can only be found in Superdrug or on their own website HERE

Do you love MUA just as much as me?

P.S

After having no internet for months and having a long break from blogging I have decided now is the right time to come back, I have thoroughly missed blogging and I hope that this is the start of what used to be a really great hobby.
