Primark Haul!

So hi...


I hope you guys enjoy hauls, This is my second ( after the Superdrug beauty haul here) and I have another one planned for a make-up revolution haul as I went a bit crazy on their site the other day. Anyway for now we're talking Primark, I have to say for a stingy student like me primark is just so good. Of course the quality isn't absolutely amazing but the products do last a fair while when treated kindly and they are so so cheap! so probably about 2 weeks ago me and my flatmates had a little wander around and I came out with £40 well spent.

First of all as a basic necessity I picked up some tights, nice and simple. Next I picked up this gorgeous multi-chain necklace! It's actually so pretty, It's like a statement necklace but at the same time it's so simplistic and cute, and i love the little part at the end of the necklace, It's just all round pretty.

After I picked up these cute floral slip on shoes, I'm recently really loving patterned slips on's and unfortunately primark was way too packed and messy for me to properly have a good look around the shoe section but I did get time to grab these in my size and get out of there, they are as expect don't have a super thick sole but they are definitely super comfy and great for when I really can't be bothered but still wanna make some effort to get about the day.

I also picked up a home item in the form of this super summery Duvet set, I seen it a while back on gabs from VelvetGh0st's Instagram and I immediately fell in love with it! I also found out it's reversible, one side is bigger multi coloured pineapples, while the other side is grey coloured smaller pineapples, two looks in one! amazing, It's currently on my bed sheets and it makes me happy.

Next is clothes where I surprisingly only picked up two bits, mainly because I just couldn't deal with being in there too long as it was hectic and I think my friends felt similarly. The first thing I got was this super cosy harry potter print top, which I'll be mentioning tomorrow so I won't talk any more about that!

The other thing I got was quite a risky purchase but it was only £5 so I didn't feel it would be much of a lost if I didn't like it.
It's this white playsuit with a pretty neon coloured Aztec print and I thought this would be great for the middle of summer on a super hot day when I'm out and about with a nice jacket and some cool sandals ( which is on my list to buy! )

And those were all my purchases from Primark recently! Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying for anther cheap shopping spree, especially with my uni year nearing an end, I think I might treat myself!

What Makes My Room Mine!

So hi...

When you make the jump to uni and with the majority of people, move into student accommodation, you find that every room is pretty bog-standard and basically the same. It's a very uncomfortable feeling moving into such a blank canvas of a room that has so many restriction of what you can and can't have. Because of this I feel it's important to have a few little home decor pieces to put your stamp onto your uni room and make it feel all that little bit more homely and comforting after a hard day of uni work. So with this in mind I thought I would show off the few little bits and pieces which a consider to show of my mark in my room and make it more cosy.

First these are the little pieces that are dotted around my desk and shelves. The Panda bag and C shape were gifts, given to me by fellow blogger Molly when we participated in a box swap. Since the swap was before uni it meant they could be immediately placed in my room as soon as I moved in and made it so much more 'me' The other two pieces were additions I bought myself from a local little home decor/ clothes store. It was a strange find as the store itself looks very badly presented and the clothes don't really seem to be for the younger audience, but me and my flatmates decided to have a little look and I found these two bits, The little heart sign says 'What I love most about my home is who I share it with' And was only £2. I bought this with my house for next year in mind as out of 4, I'm only fond of two of my other flatmates. but living with them and the friends next door is something I'm seriously looking forward to. The little wooden box was £3-4 and I love the cute simplicity of it, plus I say bits and bobs all the time so it fits.

 Th next little cosy addition is a rather recent purchase. It's a gorgeous fluffy little pillow that i picked up from primark for about £5 I think it was? Recently I've been dying to build up a cute little pillow collection to adorn my bed and this little beauty it the start of that collection as well as my planned center piece.

 The Rest of the additions that make my mark on my uni room are just the way I've chosen to decorate my room, I said yesterday how I got a load of free prints for the use f my scrapbook, however I also used a few to stick up onto my wall into a heart shape just above my bed, As well as to help decorate my uni board. As well as them I have little wristbands I've collected from nights out and events ( as well as the event t-shirt with my nickname- I don't know why it's that either) and my framed pictures of my football society photos. I absolutely love my board as it's the one place I can get away with sticking nearly anything up there without hassle.

If you're currently at uni what things do you have to personalized your room? and if not are there any favourite home pieces in your house that make it feel like home?

A Day in Birmingham.

So hi..

Last Sunday as a final finish to my birthday celebrations, my other sister ( I have two ) and my mother woke up nice and early and headed out to Birmingham, which is just over an hour and a half drive from Luton.
8.40 we left and it was quite a nice drive, we stopped off for a little bite to eat at a service station. We were pretty naughty and decided on Mcdonalds breakfast, mostly because none of us were willing to pay £6-7 for a little roll or sandwich. I had a bagel, it was obviously pretty damn tasty. My mum and me also got a cheeky Costa to wake ourselves up, I went for a caramel latte, yum.

The rest of the drive was rather peaceful and we arrived, where we packed was right next to the city centre campus of Birmingham City Uni which I'll be at next year which was quite nice to see. We headed straight to the bullring and spent the day shopping and getting to know the city. My sister took us to the china town part of Birmingham and it smelt so good (i'm fond of chinese food) the generally look and atmosphere was just lovely, it's definitely somewhere I can see myself visiting often.

I bought a few bits which I may put up in another post, but it was a very eventful day. After a while our tummies were soon grumbling and we started looking for somewhere to eat, this took a while as no one could decide what they fancied and when the decision was given to me I was indecisive, however we had spotted a five guys earlier on in the day and I had mentioned how I wanted to try it after seeing Beautycrush talk about it, and so we just went there.
MY GOD, it was so so so worth it, /my sister and mum had the BLT while I was a right fatty and chose a double bacon cheeseburger (hey, I won't been able to afford such luxury as a student okay.) with onions lettuce tomato and ketchup. Everything tasted so good, I love the drinks system as well, I had cherry vanilla flavoured coke, so tasty. The chip were also gorgeous and generously overflowed the large holder into the brown bag.

After devouring this meal we wandered around the city centre a little more before finally heading back to the car and driving home at around 6, It was a lovely day and we all really enjoyed ourselves, it was a great way to end my birthday celebrations.

If you live in Birmingham is there any places you'd suggest me to go when I move to Birmingham?
if not been anywhere interested recently?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

I'm in Shoe Love!

So hi,

This won't be much of a long post, it's just a little one to show off my new boots that I picked up because I absolutely love them. I picked them up from shoe zone for £19.99. 

I am such a huge boots person, Ankle boots and any kinda boots are so beautiful. I had some boots with a similar height as these before and they were my favourite, I'm a pretty short person and the added height made me feel twice as confident. These boots are even nicer than my last as those were quite plain. 

These boots a gorgeous cut out design and the added buckles add a little bit of biker edge that I adore. Although I now only own these pair of boots I'm planning to LARGELY increase my collection and already have my eye of a few more boots in shoe zone and new look.

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Payday haul!

So hi...

The end of may gave me a rather decent payday due to lots of events and Luton down going up in the league and being busy. This meant I finally had a chance to pick myself up some summer clothes, which I have been desperate for! especially for some new dresses, I managed to pick up quite a few bits and the day itself was lovely as after shopping me and Ross went to see the new X-Men film and had a lovely carvery afterwards, it was great. Anyway back onto the bits I picked up! 

 So firstly thought I would go through the bottoms I got, the three shorts are all from primark, with the mint green and purple shorts priced at £5 which is pretty good as they fit comfortably and look nice.
The striped pair were slightly higher at £7 but still very worth it, they are also slightly longer than the others, which are almost like short shorts, which some people may not feel comfortable with.
The jeggings I collected from Select, I'm wholly converted to jeggings, I hardly wear jeans and jeggings are just the perfect bottom for me, these ones were about £12 and has lovely lace detailing on the pockets.

 When I headed out for my day of shopping I made an little objective to buy at least two dresses and i'm proud to say that objective was met! The Aztec dress was from Primark at a bargain of £5, it's pretty, perfectly summery and the colours are not neon bright which is a trend i'm not keen on for clothing in summer.
The second dress was from select ( can you tell what shops are my favourite?) and i absolutely love this dress, it sits gorgeously and I could easily dress it either up or down for day or night time wear, and the lace detailing on the front trim of the dress is just amazingly cute, I think this was £14.

Made a visit to Superdrug on my travels ( hoe surprising) And picked up these three products.

The Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Colour Lipsticks were on offer at £3.99 and as I love my matte kate moss lipstick how could I refuse, I picked up the gorgeous red shade 01, Despite my lipstick collection already 80% shades of red. I just couldn't risk and it was definitely a good call as I love it.

Next is another MUA nail varnish, in the shade bold blue this is a perfect colour for summer and I already have this on my nails as I type!

Last but not least was yet another can of Dry shampoo, I picked up Bastiste in a cherry scent, which I thought would be rather interesting to try as I usually go for the safe option of floral.

And that was that, a good few purchases to keep me satisfied... until next payday that is!

Get any nice summer buys recently?

Collective haul! Primark, Select, Superdrug, Etc..

So hi...

I may have been doing a few bits of shopping over the last few weeks, when I had my operation and was house bound for a week I took it as an opportunity to order a few bits online, so i could have some happiness in the form of parcels at my door! As well as that I have been in to town a lot over the Easter holidays and picked up a number of bits and bobs which I thought would be nice to show all together in a collective haul of all the things I've got!

So For Easter I got a £20 mall voucher from my dad as he doesn't buy me and my sisters chocolate, So I went to primark to pick up a few home bits for my self, the thought of Uni and my own place has recently made my interest in homey bits increase dramatically!

While In primark I picked up a few candles, recommended by my candle obsessed mother who swore to me that despite the price they were actually scented when you burnt them. And they actually do, I preferred the small pots at £1 each as you can probably tell from the photo, but the bigger vanilla and coconut candle at £2 was very nice also. I've made a mental note to collect a few more of these soon. 

I also picked up some face clothes as I was lacking in them and primark was having a home sale event so they were only £1.50! nice.

On a separate trip I also picked up the much talked about, Garnier micellar cleansing water with some accompanying pads and oh my. 

This bottle has changed my make-up removing laziness and I like to use it to cleanse my skin after using my Soap and glory peaches and clean as the micellar water leaves my skin feeling fantastic, so glad I followed the raves about this product!

 This was a large group picture I took to show all the other its and bobs I've bought, Mostly through Easter presents and payday.

 On the beauty side of things I picked up a few primark nails, after being slightly disappointed with some a while back I decided to try again after hearing lily melrose praise them, I picked up an adorable strawberry set and a cute daisy set.
Making a visit to superdrug, which I possibly do way too often (opps) I was on the hunt for a nice smelling body butter, After using up the small tub of strawberry body butter from the body shop, I just knew I could find another nice smelling cheap one and oh boy I did. This cherry and macadamia body butter smells divine and cost only £2! brilliant.
Also on the hunter for a face primer which I have been needed for a while I picked up MUA's offering at only £3 Why not. I had previously wanted to try the maybelline baby skin pore eraser but could not justify the spending at all!
Lastly I went to lush, uncertain of whether i wanted to buy anything. I've wanted the bubblegum scrub for a long while now but as lush is pretty expensive, I never really had the spare money, however after a little chat with one of the ladies who always seems to serve me the few times i do go there I took the plunge and went for it. I'm happy I did, before using this my lips that been in awful condition and it was really bothering me, now they feel soft and lovely. (plus it tastes amazing...)
Also in the photo at the top of the post you may have noticed a lip product, after much debate I picked up a Tanya burr lip gloss in the colour 'Vampire kiss' but I'll be posting about that shortly

 On the fashion side of things, I may admit I am addicted to shirts and collars, my wardrobe is slowly being overtaken by them, But maybe that collection is a post for another time. The peachy shirt with the gorgeous black trim was a present from my mum, I do know she picked it up from select however, as I had been eyeing it up myself already.
 I myself picked up the other two items, with the mint green cami top at £6 from select, I got it as I feel my wardrobe is really lacking in layering items and I could do with a few simple basics added to it. The other top is a black shirt that is slightly cropped with an adorable peter pan collar, the material of this one is also a bit usual for a shirt, more stretchy but still very very comfy.

 This was a pretty simple purchase, I needed some more shoes and you can't go wrong with black plimsolls from primark, especially considering how cheap they are, as well as actually sturdy.

 This is a better picture of the things I got for Easter, the striped clothing item you see is a long sleeved dress, However in my eagerness to wear it I didn't get a better picture and it seems to have disappeared in the wash! darn. it was around £5 from primark ( yet again)

 Last but not least I got a new bag! this gorgeous browny-tan coloured satchel was only £9 from primark! can you believe it? £9! It's also very sturdy. Not at all thin of flimsy feeling like some bags you can find it primark, I've been using it for my college bag and it fits all my books in no problem. A bit more boringly I got some leggings as well as mine often seem to disappear in this house...

And that's all folks! quite a lot of stuff but I am rather happy with it all, I won't be able to do much more shopping anytime soon as large as what i've got here but It was nice to feel quite spoiled and do a lot of retail therapy

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Primark make-up?

So hi...

Primark are not really the first brand you think of when you consider where to buy make-up but a few weeks ago primark had a little re-branding of their make-up range and released 'Ps. beauty', as a fan of trying new things and affordable make-up I bought a few bits to try which I have mentioned before and I thought I would come back with my thoughts.

Now the moisturizing lip crayons are my favourite, I bought 2, one in a red colour and one in nude and I absolutely love them, they are great for when I kinda can't be bothered for lipstick, I'm particularly fond of the nude colour because it does feel rather moisturizing and soft on my lips and added a nice bit of colour.

Apart from their lip crayons I've always quite liked their nail varnishes, with a small set of 4 for £2 how could I complain? the quality is rather decent, needs more than one coat but they do last a decent amount of time, I also like that the set are usually 4 different shades and types of one colour, I've got a set of reds and a set of blues with a light one, bright one, dark one and a glittery one. so for £2 I've got all the variety of red and blue nail shades I would need really.

Now I've already mentioned my experiences with Primark's liquid eyeliner and although I don't know if they have changed the formula since their re-branding, but it flaked quite a bit and I was not impressed much, their eye liner pencils of the other hand is rather standard and worth the £1 for 2 pencils.

Is there any other primark beauty or make-up products that you would suggest and have tried?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
