Back to College; 2 Weeks Late!!

I'm back guys! I'm back! 
It seems that Summer and a wee bit of Autumn caught up with me while I was enjoying myself but I am finally back into the swings of things with work and college life. I've treated myself to a great deal this summer which I can't wait to share with you all. However today I've got one of my favorite posts for you, a stationery haul!!! I did this literally at the beginning of my college term and everything is fabbity fab.

I just couldn't help myself to a cute pencil case that reminds me of Cath Kidson and the hello kitty pen! It just called to me, it was just so cute and I knew I had to have it oops.

I also helped myself to some funky fine liners that I didn't really need but wanted...
I hope I prepped well for college this year however a few weeks in my Bic highlighters are running out! I still need some big folders for my work, I'm hoping for some nice design-y ones and I ended up buying some Paperchase notebooks (heh). But yeah I'm all prepared especially with a new gorgeous bag which I'll include in my clothing haul tomorrow!

I hope everyone's had a wonderful first month or so back at college/school, I know I have!

Summer Spree!

Oops I did it again! 
Indeed I did, it was payday last week and I thought I would treat myself to some new bright nail polish after all the gorgeous weather we've been having. As well as that it was my grandma's birthday and I really wanted to get her something she would love. I bought her the brand, new out No7 mascara (not pictured, in the gold tube) which she did end up loving. There was also a promotion on if you bought 2 No7 products you got a free gift set, so guess who spent over £30 in Boots - eek!

So I ended up buying 2 Barry M polishes (the third was a free gift) in Passion Fruit and Strawberry, the free one was BLE? The No7 Stay Perfect polish was in Foxglove. I also picked myself up a Revlon Kissable stain for £2 cheaper in the shade Honey which is sooo gorgeous!

On to the free gifts, it was said everything together was worth about £30 and I am overall very happy with what I got :) In this cute little set I got a Tinted Moisturizer in fair (which is a little meh), Airbrush Away Primer, a full sized tube on their High Shine gloss in Coral Kiss, a sample of their Stay Perfect eye shadow I'm not exactly sure what the colour is but when on it's a gorgeous pale blue/purple shade full of glitter. Last but not least an Extreme Length mascara - I wish this was full size because it's amazing! I feel like it give the same effect of Benefit's Their Real but for a much cheaper price (which I hope to put to the test).

I've already worn Barry M's passion Fruit which is an unbelievably gorgeous shade! 
Have you guys been shopping recently? I love reading haul posts ;)

A World Full of Nail Polish!

I'm back guys with an amazing haul for you all which didn't even cost me a penny! Now I love painting my nails I don't get to do it very much but when I do it's a different colour every time! So when I was given a carrier bag full of nail polish from my auntie I jumped with joy and lemme tell you, there's so many absolutely gorgeous colours that I can't wait to try them all out.

I haven't a clue what's wrong with her because all of these shades are ever so gorgeous and so wearable!! However they're all now mine to wear and love which I shall do gladly. The ones I'm most looking forward to trying are defintely the Topshop and Maybelline polishes, the colours just look perfect.

Post Exam Stress Haul!

Hello guys! I know I've been a terrible blogger of late, I've hardly posted but the thing is I just haven't had the time, exams are creeping up on me, I've been a work a lot and I can't leave Tom out! However when next week rolls around I will be taking a small hiatus over the Whit Week and before just to crack down on some revision meaning I will try to schedule a few posts before the exams hit hard!

Dainty Doll Blushers

you are my sunshine - my girl - paper roses
Whoops, more beauty products! I've been lusting after these blushes since hearing about them mentioned on dozens of blogs and I picked them up for £1.99... £1.99!!! (They normally retail at around £13.50?) Already when I opened the parcel the packaging was absolutely gorgeous, so much effort had been put into it. The actual product packaging is just simple black with lettering but I absolutely love it, so gorgeous and simple. I think it just goes perfectly.
I couldn't help myself and I bought 3, 2 powder blushes - 'You Are My Sunshine' and  'My Girl' and a cream blush - 'Paper Roses' (which I've never tried before so I'm excited!) These blushes are incredibly well pigmented. I tried the darkest pink yesterday morning and it's that well pigmented I had to wipe it off and reapply, it's such a deep shimmery pink! I still need to try the other colours properly but I'm ever so excited, the cream especially as it's not shimmery and just a block colour. Also with the blushers comes a gorgeous little mirror, ever so handy to top up with if need be!
I would definitely recommend these blushers.
They are gorgeous and ever so well pigmented.
 Get yourself down to Fragrance Direct before they sell out!

Mini Boots & Primark Haul

 photo DSCF7503_zps632fa1f5.jpg
So I recently had a little splurge in Boots & Primark. I know it's been Easter and some family members prefer to give me money over chocolate now I'm a little older plus I had some wages left so I thought I'd treat myself! Also I thought I would film it rather than blogging what I bought because I can never quite get my opinions over in words. I'd love it if you could subscribe to my YT here for more videos, thank you and I hope you enjoy the video! :) ♡

Payday Shopping Spree

So it was payday on Tuesday and I had a little cheeky spree yesterday! I got paid fully and properly so I decided to splash out on some make up I had been lusting after for ages! First I found myself in Boots and I knew I had to get my hands on some Soap & Glory products as I had some vouchers so I went for their concealer in light, a lip balm in a reddish colour and because I'd spent over £12 I got a free lip and cheek stain which is a gorgeous burgundy colour. I also found myself picking up 107 in Kate Moss with a lip liner to match as as I'd spent over a fiver I got my favorite eyeliner free!

I also had a peek in Superdug and bought my first ever blusher (lame I know!) but I wanted something cheap and not so pink to start with. I also stocked up on a few bits that I was running low on and I also got the most gorgeous ring out of Primark along with Cosmo! There are still a few bits and bobs I'd like to get like the Good Things face mask but that can wait till later :) 

I had a lovely day and I was off college due to training which was even better so me and Tom slept in late and went shopping. I'm so so excited to try all my new products so be on the look out for reviews but right now I'm snuggling up with a hot chocolate and the tv!

What have you bought recently?
