Birthday Haul 2014

At the beginning of the month it was my 18th birthday. Today I thought I would share with you what I got for my birthday as I love reading these types of posts.

I got this gorgeous rose gold Rotary watch as my main present from my parents. I previously had one from New Look (you can see it mentioned here) which I really liked but the problem was that it was way too big even on the tightest setting. So my parents said that they would get me a watch for my birthday as I'd be able to get one to fit my wrist because I have very small wrists. It even came with this cute star necklace which I have been wearing every single day since my birthday. 

I got 2 pairs of stud earrings which I love. My Grandma bought me the star ones and they match my watch perfectly which was actually an accident as she didn't know about the watch. 

I got this gorgeous Lulu Guinness makeup bag, I am in love with the print on it and I can't wait to use it when I go travelling.  

I got this gorgeous stripy snood which I am absolutely in love with. I love wearing stripes and this will go with a lot of the clothes that I already own. 

I received this lovely Bath Caviar set which I am looking forward to using in my baths it smells incredible and I can't wait to give it a try. I also got an Accessorize 3D Nail Manicure in Aqua Marine, I  love the colour of the polish and think it will look lovely during spring/summer. 

The little set of hand creams will come in very useful I always like to carry a mini hand cream in my handbag so these will get a lot of use from them. The cut nail polish set from the Holly Sharpe collection from Marks and Spencers kis perfect for spring and I can't wait to use these colours. Lip balm is another essential for me and it is in my all time favourite scent vanilla and it smells heavenly. 

I got this lovely purse which I can't wait to use, it has a lot of space inside which is something I really look for in a purse. I also really love the simple and elegant design of it. 

The last thing I got was an Along Came Betty gift set which comes with a hand cream, body spray and lip gloss. I really like this brand and I am looking forward to trying some more of their products. 

My parents also got me a subscription to Glossybox which I will be doing a separate post on shortly.

Small Haul February 2014

Today I thought I would share with you a few bits and pieces that I have picked up recently.

I picked up some Batiste Dry Shampoo in the Tropical scent. I previously had the Blush scent which I hated but I really wanted to give dry shampoo another go as it can be really useful for refreshing your hair. I also picked up the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance I love this leave in conditioner it smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling really soft. 

I had already tried and loved this Dove conditioner so I thought I would get another bottle and as it was buy one get one free I decided to pick up the shampoo. They smell amazing and leave my hair feeling so soft. 

I then picked  up a few skincare items. I got the Garnier Micellar Water as I had seen it on a lot of blogs and I really wanted to give it a go. I love micellar waters and I am currently using the L'Oreal one which I love. I'd heard great things about the Botanics All Bright Toner so I thought I would get it as my current toner has nearly ran out. I saw the Simple Eye Balm and thought that I would give it a go I've had really dark circles recently and I thought that this might make me look more awake. 

I picked this hand wash up from the Body Shop, the Vanilla Bliss range is one of my favourites but you can only get it at Christmas so when I saw this hand wash I knew that I had to get it. 

I got this gorgeous feather/leaf necklace from Dorothy Perkins it was a bargain at £2 and I really love it. It is quite simple and it will go with so many outfits. The last thing I picked up was the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Blue Grape I really like the look of Nails Inc Baker Street but £11 is a lot to spend on a nail polish so I was looking for a similar colour in Boots. I saw this one and as I knew I already liked this range I thought I would give it a go. I love the colour and the shiny finish just makes it look even better.

Primark Haul December 2013

Today I thought I would share with you what I recently got from Primark. A lot of the stuff that I bought was in the sale so I'm not sure if you'll still be able to get this stuff.

The first thing I got was this rose gold double cross ring. I love rose gold jewellery but because I have quite small fingers I don't buy many rings as often even the small ones are too big but because this is adjustable and only 50p I thought I would give it a try. I really like this ring and I have worn it a lot.

Next up are 2 pairs of jeans. One pair is a light grey pair and the other pair is black and whit stripes. Both these jeans were £3 each and they are the most softest and comfiest jeans that I have ever worn. I really like them and they were such a bargain I might have to check out some of their other jeans as these are amazing.  

I then got this gorgeous navy blue skirt that has a lovely pattern on it. As you can see from the above picture the pattern is done in a lighter shade of blue. This skirt is a skater skirt and has an elasticated waist it is really pretty and looks great with black nights. I think this skirt is so universal as you can dress it up or wear it more casually.  

I bought this really nice dress for £5. Primark had tones of these skater dresses in lots of different styles. The shape of this dress is really flattering and it can be styled in many different ways. I have worn this to school and I have also worn it out by just adding a gold belt and some sparkly accessories and this basic item can be completely changed. I am going to go back for some more as I really love the style and I love that they have sleeves as a lot of dresses don't which makes them very impractical at this time of year. 

My last 2 items are crop tops that were £2 each. I bought these to wear with my high waisted disco pants which I got from New Look. I love any type of leggings as they are so comfortable and I have worn my disco pants so much. These 2 crop tops look amazing with them. I love the colour of the burgundy one and the second one is really simple but really cute.

As you can see I got quite a few bargains here, let me know what you have bought recently from Primark.

Summer Essentials Fashion Edition

So I've already shared with you my makeup and beauty summer essentials and today I thought I would share with you my fashion summer essentials.

Now this dress summarises 2 of the things that I love about summer. I love wearing cute dresses in the summer ones that flow and either have a pretty colour or a lovely floral pattern. The second thing that I love about this dress is the colour. I love mint green I am obsessed with the colour. If there is something that is mint green then I have to have it. This dress was actually a charity shop find it was from Topshop originally and when I bought it, it still had the tags on it so it was as good as new. The best part about it was that it was a bargain at £5. 

The next summer must have is sandals. I love wearing sandals as I am able to show off my painted toe nails which always have a bright colour on during the summer. I own many sandals and this picture just shows a couple of the ones I own. I have a peach pair which is from Tesco I love the design of the straps and they were only £3 as I got them at the end of summer last year. They did many colours of them and I also have a sparkly gold pair. I have noticed that they have some similar ones in this year. The other pair are a sort of gladiator with a beautiful peacock style feather on them. I have a gorgeous blue maxi dress that I love wearing them with. I got them from Peacocks a couple of years ago. 

The next thing I love is this mint green satchel style bag that was a birthday gift from my sister. I love the style and the colour of this bag. I also love the pink edging it has around it. The lining of the bag is also really pretty it has a cute floral design. In the summer I prefer to carry a smaller bag and although this is quite small it can fit a lot in it. 

I am not a massive jewellery wearer but I do have a few bits that I love to wear during the summer. I love rose gold and I think it is a perfect colour for the summer. I have my Lipsy charm bracelet which I love. It is a bit like a Pandora bracelet but you buy it like it is with all the charms on it. I got this as a Christmas present one year and I love it. The rose gold bracelet is from Primark and I think it was £1.50. I love the style of it  and I think it looks gorgeous. The spike necklace is from Dorothy Perkins I love their jewellery and they always have amazing bargains in the sale. My earrings where a gift from my friends I love the colour and I think the flower design is perfect for summer. Lastly is my watch, I actually wear this watch all year round but I think it is perfect for the summer it is from New Look who stock some amazing watches. 

Lastly are my sunglasses. I wear prescription glasses which meant I had to get some prescription sunglasses to protect my eyes. I bought these to go to Iceland to protect my eyes from the glare. I really like these which are from Red and Dead but I got them in Specsavers. I really like the shape of these as I find a lot of sunglasses are too big and don't suit my face shape but I really like these.

What are your summer must haves?

Huge Collective Haul

So recently I've gone a little crazy and bought quite a few bits and pieces. I've bought things from Fragrance Direct, MUA, ELF and many other places. 

Lets starts with what I got from MUA:

I picked up the gorgeous MUA Undress Your Skin highlighter. This is a lovely highlighter that I have been loving using recently. I also picked up their new concealer as I'm always interested in trying different concealers. When I made my order MUA had a sale and I picked up one of their plumping lipglosses in Pin Up Pink which was only £1. Also in the sale was a mosaic bronzer for £1.50. I chose to get the shade Sunkissed Glow. I picked up their cream blush in Bittersweet as I don't own many cream blushes and want to experiment with them. I got 2 of their new Power Pouts which I am very excited to try. The Power Pouts are dupes for the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and the Clinique Chubby Sticks. I got the shades Broken Hearted and Runway. 

I then got some stuff from Fragrance Direct possibly one of my favourite websites. If you don't know Fragrance Direct sells a lot of well known brands at discount prices. I picked up another Dainty Doll blush as I loved the last one I got. I chose to get the shade You Are My Sunshine which is a dupe for Nars Orgasm. I then picked up 3 Essie nail polishes: All Tied Up, Mojito Madness and Neo Whimsical. 

I made an order from ELF which I haven't done in a very long time. When I made this order they had an offer that if you spent more than £15 you could get a free mystery bag. So I ordered 3 of their lipsticks in the shades Flirtatious, Sociable and Fearless. I love ELF lipsticks as they are great value for money. I decided to pick up their eyelid primer as well as it was only £1.50. ELF brushes are amazing quality so I picked up their Stippling Brush. From the Studio line I picked up a blush in Twinkle Pink and I got the contouring kit in St Lucia which is said to be a dupe for Nars Orgasm and Laguna duo. In my mystery bag I got another lipstick in the shade Fantasy. I got a mineral bronzer which I'm excited to try. I also got one of their nail polishes in Smoky Brown which looks like a lovely neutral shade. 

I got some jewellery from Dorothy Perkins in the sale. I love Dorothy Perkins for their jewellery as they have some fantastic pieces. As you can see I went a little rose gold crazy as 4/5 items I bought were rose gold. I really like the spike bracelet and heart necklace. I got some great bargains here and I am very pleased with them. 

Lastly I went to The Original Factory Shop I love looking at all the beauty stuff as they sell it at discount prices. I picked up a Revlon Colourburst lipgloss in the shade Bordeaux which I love and it only cost me £2. I picked up the eyeshadow quad in Coffee Bean for £3. I have been using it daily since I bought it. I got a 2 pack of the Turbie Twists. These are basically hair towels which you can twist around your head and they stay in place. I have the Soap and Glory version and wanted to get another but they are £7.50. This set of 2 only cost me £3. I then picked up 2 Essie nail polishes for £3 each. I got the shades Good As Gold and Nothing Else Metals. 

I am excited to try all of my new products and I will be reviewing them soon. I'm sorry for the really long post but I really wanted to share with you what I bought.
