Haul.

Since i've been away i've aquired alot of new stuff that you guys might not know about so i thought i should do a lil' show an' tell.

All me goodies!!!

Primark chunky sandels (petrol) £16: Look very very nice i think i just need to wear them in a bit more so me feet stop getting coverd in blisters everytime i wear them. Primark sunnies £1: Me first pair of sunnies of this summer so it's a sign that i'm feeling in the summer spirit. A very cheap and cheerful piece. Primark necklace £2: I've been of the jewelry front for a while so hopefully this might ease me back in, i like how simple and chic it is but still a statement. I currently use this to add something new when i just wear a plain tee. Lexar memory stick: I had a very horrible experience with my first ever memory stick that i got at my first week of college freshers fair yesterday which resulted in my beloved memory stick that i used to carry around with me evrywhere getting stuck in my laptop and snapping, thankfully this shop managed to save all my work onto a new memory stick with a much bigger memory, which will be handy for uni for only a tenner. Black eiffel tower book T.K.MAXX £5: My new diary, my very pretty new diary. Pink note book Wilkinsons £4: I'm obviously going through a stationary phase in my life right now, this book looks really nice but unfortunately it's not lined and i prefer lined books (i know i should of checked before i brought it) but hopefully i'll find a use for it. Owl headphones Poundland £1: I'm not going to lie, i don't like these headphones at all. I like headphones that go in your ear but these go in and off to the side, there not for me although i do think the owl is a nice feature. UBU concealer brush Home bargins (No.21) 50-70p: I often buy cheap crappy makeup brushes just to fill up my brushes pot because it's fairly empty, but this was a cheap good one. It's meant to be used for concealer but i found it to tough for that, so i use it as an eyeshadow brush/blending brush and it works great for that and although it's dirty in the pic it's very easy to clean. Cotton wool Home bargins 59p: A essential. 3-minute clay mask Boots (cucumber) £1.99: I've been looking for a face mask for such a long time and this one is perfect. It's cucumber flavoured which scared me because of my sensitive skin but honestly it's helped my skin dramatically and my skin feels much better it's recommended to do this once or twice a week but i try and do it every other night, I would 100% recommend this. Vaseline essential moisture clean feeling lotion mini Home bargins 40p: This isperfect for travelling or for just carrying in your bag and it's really moisturising, my skin still feels moisturised the morning afgter using this. Dove indulgent nourishment body lotion mini (shea butter)Home bargins 40p: Another moisturiser this one i was suprised that i liked because it's flavoured shea butter and normally i hate the smell of shea butter but this one i liked so much that i brought two. Again with it being a mini it makes it easy to carry around with you. I try to mix it up between using this one and the vaseline one. John frieda full repair protecting root lift foam Home bargins £3: This has actually been a real miracle worker, i've been using this for a few weeks and my hair has much much more volume and my roots have defintely boosted. Salon chic so smooth shine serum Home bargins £1.99: I don't feel like i can give this a proper review because i haven't used it enough to test the outcome and i really want to give you a thorough review. Kate moss for Rimmel lasting finish lipstick (03) Superdrug £3.99: I've never had anything from the Kate moss for Rimmel collection before but this has definitely persuaded me and i have my eye on couple of the shadow sticks from that range. This has to be the perfect Kylie Jenner lip colour lipstick and i;m very much in love with it and it's definitely up there with my favourite lipsticks ever. It was only £3.99 because it was a promotional price for the release of the new Kate moss for Rimmel stuff. Eyeko skinny liquid eyeliner (black) Glamour magazine: I got this free in this months Glamour magazine and i am so so grateful that it was in there because if it wasn't i probably would of never come across it, since i'm not an eyeliner girl. But i think this might be the product to convert me. The skinniest of the nib helps with the precision. What have you been hauling?

The update post and a couple of challenges.

So guys i am no longer a college student!!! It's official i left college forever on friday. So now all the hard work is out the way it gives me plenty more time to focus on blogging and maybe who knows i might give the whole youtube thing another crack, i might even vlog since i've been really into vlogs recently. Other than having a stressful week last week i set myself a couple of challenges from Glamour magazine. The first one was to see if i could go a week without complaining, i possibbly picked the most stressful week of my life to attempt that challenge and i think at most i lasted an hour but i'll give it another whirl in the future. Could you go a week without complaining? The other challenge was more makeup, beauty and hair related... much more up my street. 1. Wear bottom lashes for one day? Since i never wear mascara on my bottom lashes i thought i'd amend this to suit me and on Monday i wore my mascara on my bottom lashes, a first time for everything. I don't think i'd do this again just for a casual day because i found it quite time consuming getting the lashes the way i liked them. 2.Try red lipstick? When looking through my makeup collection one thing i have a lot of is red lipstick which is strange because red seems to be the colour i shy away from the most but Tuesday i braved a red lip and checked a hell of alot of mirrors. 3. Create a zig zag parting? I tried and failed... I was born towards the end of the 90's so i missed that trend thankfully. 4. Go make up free? Saturday was a day of relaxation and composing so no makeup was worn. RESULTS:3/4. Not to bad ey!!
