Shoes Haul!



Hey Lovelies! 

 I used to watch videos and read blogs about shoe hauls and I always used to think 'how can they buy that many shoes'.... yeah, now I know. My reasoning for this is I'm going on holiday on sunday with my friends and I'm stocking up! (Plus I've been dying for a pair of wedges for agesssss)So i'll get right into it! 

These are the first pair of shoes I bought for my 18th Birthday, Ive stalked eBay for months just gazing at these shoes but never actually plucked up the courage to buy them, until now! I thought for my 18th I wanted something special and unique and I think these fit the bill, and for £22.99 (plus £2.99 p&p) you can't go wrong! They arrived in around 3 days and I think I fell in love. They have to be the highest heel I've ever worn, over 6 inches (my mum actually measured them!) But because of the huge platform they aren't that painful, although after the 5 hour of wearing them I felt the pain! In summary I love them!(Click here for link)








The second pair of shoes I bought were from New Look during a mini shopping session with my mum! I originally wanted these shoes in the off white colour but typically they didn't have my size! So I got these mint green ones instead, Once I got them home I was less sure and ummed and ahh-ed about taking them back, but after trying them with some outfits I realised how awesome they were. I love the colour (I'm all into bringing the pastel trend into the summer too!) and I think i'll be rocking these in the sun a lot! They cost me £24.99 but well worth it! (Click here for link)




The next pair I picked up are also from New Look. New Look launched a new huge online sale earlier this week (check it out if you haven't while sizes last!) with up to 70% off items, and I had been eyeing these babies up for weeks. So when they were reduced from £39.99 to £12.00 I couldn't say no. Ive wanted to try out the flatform trend and thought these were a great starter! They're real suede and are sooooo comfy, they arrived this morning and I can't wait to try them out! (Click here for link)




The last pair of shoes are again from New Look (I see a pattern emerging...) And these again were in the same sale. A few days before I noticed the sale, I had been scrolling through online and stopped when I saw these. The only reason I didn't buy them there and then was my budget doesn't normally stretch to £49.99. However in the glorious sale they went down to £15.00. These shoes are so comfy, which is weird considering they're heels, I love the two tone straps and the different shades work great with my skin tone. I also like the wooden heel and tribal feel of them! Perfect summer shoes! (Click here for link)

Haul - New look, Boots & Tesco!

Hey everyone! 
 Sorry for my absence, I've been crazy busy but things have calmed down and I can give you my undivided attention now! Also Thank you to everyone who's started following me. It was a loveeeely surprise!
 So I thought I would come back with a haul! I went up to West Quay in Southampton last Friday with my friends, unfortunately my bank account didn't want me to go crazy but i managed to pick up a few bits and bobs.
 First stop was New look! I'm quite a New look lover, and without even realising they slightly dominate my wardrobe. but who can resist! I picked up these two tops in the 2 for £6 offer. Which to me is a bargain! I love the two row straps, I think its such a pretty twist on a standard top. It sits just on my belly button and drapes down the sides and I thought they would just be prefect for summer! (When it decides to show its face!)





Also in New look I picked up this Aztec style print top. I'm a slight sucker for Aztec print as well and I loved how it resembled the American Flag as well! I'm not normally a fan of high neck lines, but I love how it sits! This was £12.99 if memory serves me well. But I got student discount which was even better!






Next stop was boots! I went in there planning to pick up something completely different to what I actually bought (as usual) But I got distracted by L'oreal's two for £14 offer! straight away the l'oreal Telescopic Mascara caught my eye. I've been meaning to pick this up for ages. It is probably the best mascara i own. I love using it on my bottom lashes too, and I really don't like the look of mascara on my bottom lashes. such a good investment!

 



To go with the offer I picked up a Color Riche lipstick in the shade Luminous Coral. Which I loveeee! It smells amazing! Which I know sounds weird but it truly does, and its so moisturising. It feels more like a balm then a lipstick. The shade works great with my skin tone and I love how only the label it states 'Brunettes' or 'Blondes' seeing as I seem to forever be buying the wrong shade for me! A lovely, bright, spring shade.




Next I headed to Tesco on the way home and found these babies hiding away at the back! I have been looking for ages for a pair of pastel trousers and these caught my eyes right away! I feel ankle grazers are a true sign that spring is here, and I'm going to embrace it no matter what mother nature says! I got these for £14. And they look great with the white top from new look! 



Let me know if you have any questions or blog suggestions! 

Love

Current Beauty Loves!


I've recently become a bit of a shopaholic, which is never a good thing for your bank balance. So in order for something good to come out of my spending mishaps (other than the sweet satisfaction of having something new to play with) I thought I would share my latest 'loves' The things I'm constantly reaching for and things I feel have changed my skin and body. 


1. Bioderma Sensibio.



I think everyone and their mother has heard of Bioderma, but just incase Bioderma is a water based cleanser/make-up remover. It's main ingredient is Water so great for sensitive skin, I've actually only used the product a few times so I don't wanna give it a review just yet. But oh my gosh do i understand the hype! its so gentle and soft, does the job perfectly and to top it off leaves your skin feeling amazingly soft. I was lucky enough to be given this by a colleague of my mums, but I know its easy to get of Ebay for around £9 including P&P. 


2. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector
(All-In-One B.B. Cream)

Boots - £7.49 on special offer

I've recently come back from holiday and my skin tone has changed completely, my foundation was the wrong shade and just left my skin feeling clogged cakey, so I decided to invest in a B.B. cream  I still wanted light coverage to hide any scars and even out my skin tone, but foundations seem so unappealing right now and i kinda got used to embracing a more bare face while I was away. (I know sounds crazy but stay with me) I picked this up from Boots while it was on offer over the weekend and so far I'm loving it! It smells amazing but not in am overpowering perfumed way, just nicely scented. It gave me just the right amount of coverage, hiding any little nasties but still leaving your skin feeling nice and light.



3. Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil

Boots but I can't remember the price!

A few months ago my hair hit the 'point of no return' the ends where awful, it was dry and refused to comply with my demands. I have thick naturally curly hair (thanks to my African roots) which I do have chemically straightened, this plus the constant blowdrying and straightening left my hair begging for mercy. I completely updated my hair care routine, got rid of the nasty chemicals and added Argan oil. I wasn't ready to splash out on Moroccan oil so instead I bought Organix much cheaper version from Boots, and I love it! My hair has never been in such good condition. I apply it to the ends of my hair after i've washed it and sometimes if its feeling really dry during the week, and it just makes it feel so great! I have so few split ends I started to doubt my eye site. I would recommend to anyone debating on splurging on Moroccan oil to at least give this a try. Its a fraction of the price and does exactly what I need it to do!



4. Bio-Oil PurCellin Oil

Tesco - £7.79

When I was younger all the way up until i was about 12ish i was a right shorty, it never bothered me but apparently my body disagreed and decided to go through a huuuuge growth spurt over a very short space of time. Although I'm now an average height I've been left with stretch marks on the top of my thighs, I hoped they would fade with time but alas no, and so I've turned to Bio-Oil the only thing i regret is not doing this sooner! I've been using the product twice daily rubbing it into the problem areas for about 2-3 weeks and I can already see the difference! I know Bio-oil doesn't work for everyone and some people can't stand it but I think its worth a mention, It's faded some stretch marks so they are practically gone and the rest all are a lot less visible, which is something i thought would never happen. Such a brilliant product that you can pick up from just about anywhere! 


Thank you if you made it this far!
