Weekly Haul

Hey! I've had some laptop/SD problems recently so I've only just managed to get my pictures on my laptop, so I've have a bunch of posts lined up for the next few days! I thought I'd start off with the nail polishes I brought this week as I am SO EXCITED about all of them! I splurged a little but they were so worth it!


My first Orly polish! Orly Pure Porcelain, I love this colour so much! It's on my nails right now, tomorrow (when I'm less tired) I'm going to practice some dotting over it. 



How cute are these little bottles?! I love the colours and the pretty shimmers, they're also the first Essie polishes I've ever brought, whooop!! I have Meet Me At Sunset, Smooth Sailing, Braziliant and Super Bossa Nova.


And last but not least is Rimmel Disco Ball, it kind of reminds me of NYC Starry Silver, only all the glitter is the same size.

Well that's it for my haul this week, I'm looking forward to wearing them all! :)

Birthday Presents and Weekly Haul

For my birthday my sister got me some nail goodies!

Yaaay! Pretty rhinestones! Can't wait to bling my nails out with these!

Dotting tools! No longer will I have to ruin bobby pins, haha. 


My mum baked me some super yummy chocolate and orange cupcakes for my birthday, with pink icing of course. 

Yum!
Now here's the things I've brought this week:

Barry M Pink Iridescent and Collection 2000 Siren

I'm so excited about this! Look at that holo glitter!

I've been really good at not buying nail polish recently, these are the first I've brought in nearly a month! I'm very proud with myself.

17 Goodie Bag!

I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone here when I say free stuff is the BEST THING EVER! I was browsing the Boots website the other day and I saw they had a 17 offer going on, if you brought any 2 17 products you'd get this nail goodie bag for FREE! So as soon as I could, I went down to Boots and brought some a nail polish, 17 Forever and 17 Carbon Back/Copper eye pencil.


Here's the goodie bag and what was in it:

Isn't the bag so cute?!

 The view inside... so mysterious!

What I got inside the bag.

 Pink Grapefruit and Knockout Red

I love these stickers!! Can't wait to try them out!

 A nail file.

How amazing is the stuff in the bag?! All completely FREE! Love it! I'm tempted to buy some more 17 stuff just to get more of those nail stickers!

Weekly Haul

Even though I'm not suppose to be buying any nail polish I caved a little this week, but in my defence the nail polishes were either on my wish list or on offer.


I have wanted these Zoya matte polishes FOREVER, so I went on ebay to buy them. So exciting to try these out! 


I brought 3 Miss Sporty nail polishes, as they were on offer and they're apparently good at stamping too! I finally got around to buying Seche Vite, although I did accidentally drop it and spill some of it on my carpet and slippers, so sad!

Another Weekly Haul.

I've brought far to much this week, so I've decided I'm going not buy anything nail related for like 6 weeks, although knowing me I'll probably crack way before then! So here's all the nail polishes I've brought this week:


These Missy Sporty nail polishes were 2 for £1.99 in Superdrug, so I just had to a few, they were practically free!! In real life the yellow doesn't look like that, blame the flash. My favourite of the 4 is the middle pink one, soooo cute! For some annoying they don't name the nail colours, so I can't tell you want they're called.



Of course I had to buy Barry M and they were 2 for £4.99 in Superdrug! So another bargain there! The pink is called Pink Flamingo and it's a bit coraly. The purple is Berry Ice Cream.



These were another bargain (I was all over the bargains this week!), the purple is called Prince Street (bit of a weird name) and the peachy glitter is Gramercy Glitz, which I'm tempted to use to make a franken.


I seemed to have brought a lot of purples this week, weird. So now onto the Accessorize polishes, the purple glitter is called Ruby Sparkle, which is a bit of a misleading name I think, ruby means red and there's no red! The orange is called Orange Flash, and was another one of my bargains as it was half price! Now the middle one is amazing, although it looks pretty crap with the flash. Here's it without the flash:


Aztec is like this greeny glitter which shines purple in the light. Now I'm not a big fan of green but I love this.


This is a pretty boring group, needed a new topcoat and as these were also on offer (another BARGAIN) for 2 for £6.99 I brought the blue too, which is called Aqua Cool.


I ordered this Konad nail polish online, I think it's called back pearl or something, pretty boring stuff.


My Bundle Monster arrived!!! Yaaaaaaaay! Pretty excited about this, can't wait to try them out. Although because my nails are long the full nail images are to small. How do you bloggers with long nails get around this?

Cute!


I brought some new nails files too as I thought they looked cute and they match my nails.

Ok, so I'm done with the show and tell. That was EXHAUSTING to write up. I won't be posting much in the next few days as I'll be busy packing, which sucks as I really want to do my nails again but they'd just get ruined by the packing :( I so want to try out all my new stamps and nail polishes, oh well impatient me will have to wait until next week, booo!

Make Up Haul

So I think I might have brought a little to much this week, I'm blaming exam stress though and the fact maths is REALLY depressing. So here's what I brought:


I ran out of my matte top coat, so I brought another one. I've wanted a yellow since my last one dried all up and went horrible and I've finally got around to buying a new one, it's called Sunshine, how cute! My friends ALWAYS moan that I don't have any green nail polish as I hate green (I swear they're only friends with me so I'll paint their nails) so I finally caved and brought this cheapo one with a great name... it's called NINJA. Best. Name. Ever. I've also wanted a coral for a while so got the 2true shade 3 (creative name, I know) although I've never tried any 2true polishes before, so don't know how well it applies and I find the bottle weird looking.


Next I brought some new blushes, I'm kind of obsessed with blush atm, and a brush (just a superdrug home brand one) as the brush I was using had seen better days. The Natural Collection is called Pink Cloud, Collection 2000 is called Breathless (cheesy name or what!) and the NYC is Pink Cheek Glow. I've been after some more day time blushes, as the ones I have now are more night out and these are perfect for the day.



Now on to lips. The lip gloss is Natural Collection Cherry Drop, you can't see in the picture but it's glittery. The lipstick in the blue is 17 Belle and it's just a standard day lipstick, nothing really that special about it. Now the lipstick in the purple, I am in LOVE! It's Rimmel Lily Extase (what the hell does extase mean?!) and it looks amazing!! It's replaced my Rimmel Red Fever as my new fav lipstick.

  It even matches my nails!


I told you I brought a lot, haha! Next up is Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze. So I never normally wear eyeshadow as without my glasses on I'm pretty much blind, it's a struggle just to put on mascara! Without my glasses my eyes just look like grey blurs and I can't even see the mascara stick! How I manage to not get it all over my face is a mircile. Anyway, I really love the smoky eye effect, but because of the blindness I could never do it... until now! I can totes do the smoky eye with this, even though I can't see what I'm doing! Yes!

Ok, that's it for now, I actually brought quite a bit more but I'm to lazy to post the rest. Sorry for another long post! I hope you all are enjoying today and that the whole rapture/impending doom isn't putting a dampener on things. :p

Major Shopping Spree!

I'm just going to apologise in advance, there is a lot of writing and pictures in this post! I've had very little human contact in the past week (thanks to revision) so I have a major case of verbal diarrhoea! Haha, oh dear!

You have no idea how good this cookie was.

As I've been revising so hard for my exams (and by revising I mean putting colourful post-it notes on my work and highlighting things for fun) I thought some nail polish shopping was in order! Because I deserve a treat, right? Maths has to be the most draining subject EVER! If you don't have a death wish, don't do a maths degree, that's all I'm saying. Anyway, so I splurged and brought 5 nail polishes (and cookies)!

I tried to take a pic of these in sunlight, but it's raining... boo! 

Here's them in a different light. 

As you can tell by the label they're Accessorize nail polishes, the one to the left is called Pink Spice and it's pink with gold and orange tones in the sun. The one to the right is called Bronze and it looked better in the shop, it looks kinda gross now, hopefully it'll look better on my nails.


I LOVE this one, I've been after a purple this shade forever, but I haven't been that successful in my search. It's Gosh Wild Lilac.

                               
A nail polish haul just isn't complete without the Barry M. Words cannot describe my love for Barry M. Anyway, the one on the left is called Peach Melba and it just reminds me of holidays to Spain, if I was going on holiday this year this is deffo the polish I would wear. The one on the right is called Strawberry Ice Cream. 

All of them together!

I also brought Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint. Not really sure why, just thought it looked cool and I needed something else to buy as it was 3 for 2 in Boots. LOVE IT. 


I wasn't to sure what to expect with this, but I tried it out and it smells nice and it's super fun to apply, it's like colouring in your lips with a sharpie! I brought in it shade 03, whatever that means... 

But wait, there's more still...

I brought some black shoes today also (my bank account is crying after today) because I don't really like the plain black shoes I have now and these are SO MUCH CUTER! 

They're from Dorothy Perkins if anyone was wondering... 

I also brought a pink stapler (won't show you a pic of this though, unless you want me to, haha) and some pressed power from Collection 2000 in Ivory, because my Natural Collection one makes me look ORANGE, not that that's a challenge though as I'm as pale as can be, which is a shame as I love the Natural Collection one. Hopefully the Collection 2000 is just as good and doesn't make me look orange...

This is the last pic, I swear!

If anyone has read all of this incredible long, boring post I am truly sorry for writing so much and I love you for reading it all.

New Shoes!!

Now if there's something I love as much as nail polish, it's shoes.

My delivery from Forever 21 came today! Yaaay! Super happy about what I got, so here's a picture spam of the goodies!


I suck at taking pics of shoes

I don't normally go for shoes like these because I'm not the biggest fan of chunky heels and they're not high enough for me, I'm more of a 6 inch stiletto heel kinda girl, but I'm a sucker for floral print so I had to have them. Because Forever 21 is an american site it's tricky to know which sizes to buy, I'm a UK size 5, and the website said to buy a US size 8 (I'm so glad I don't live in the US or I'd feel like I have massive feet) but the 8s were out of stock so I went for a 7 instead. They fit fine even though they're a bit tight, a 7.5 would have be perfect.

I also got a new bag and a ring...

Watch out or I'm gunna punch yooou!


Well there you go, that was my little splurge at Forever 21 :)
