Superdrug Beauty Haul

So hi...

So I've been in major need of a few make-up bits for a while now but have just kept putting off visiting superdrug to buy some due to wanting to save money or just not having the time or just straight up laziness. But my concealer was basically empty and I was dying for some new bits. SO I went and made a little order on Superdrug, and may have picked up a few more things than I had planned to.... Whoops.

So my original plan was that I wanted a new concealer, Preferably collections lasting perfection one as it was always out of stock when I had gone in store the last few visits so I thought as an online order I had to get it. I had also planned to pick up a blending sponge as I've never tried them and lastly on my list was to browse a new foundation to try. I've been getting bored of my current one and wanted to try something new. but I ended up getting those things and a few extras. by accident of course.

Makeup Revolution:Antibacterial Brush Cleaner.
This was the first addition to my basket. I'm super bad with washing my brushes, it's probably the chore I hate most when it comes to make-up, so when I saw this I was immediately interested in the potential of a way to make cleaning my make-up brushes easier. I'm actually looking forward to cleaning my brushes just to try this baby out. yay to being lazy!

Makeup Revolution: Fortune favours the brave palette.
I'm a sucker for pretty looking packages and make up, this one is definitely a because it looked super pretty purchases. I've actually been really feeling trying out different eye shadow combinations and stuff recently as well and these colours are so damn gorgeous.

Makeup Revolution: Ultra Sculpt & Blend Brush Collection.
As I mentioned before, I was looking to get a blending sponge, and I noticed this little set and thought I could do with some new brushes as well. It's like a perfect little set for the whole face!

Wake Me Up Foundation: in Light Porcelain.
Now I actually have this foundation already, but it was in the wrong shade, way too dark. I actually quite liked the formula of it, so I thought I would try it again in my actual shade.

MUA Luxe Strobe & Glow Highlight kit.
A bit of an unsure purchase here, just to encourage myself to use highlight more, the look of this product is also super nice.

MUA eyebrow pen: in blonde.
I'm not actually that big when it comes to eyebrows, I only got mine plucked at the end of last year for the first time, I just never had ant issues with my eyebrows, I think they are alright, or I did. I've now started wanting to tame and shape my brows a little more, so an eyebrow pencil would be good.

MUA Hide and conceal Concealer: in Fair.
This is more a re-buy, I've been using this while I haven't been able to get hold of collection lasting perfection concealer, It's a good'un and conceals all my face nasties well.

MUA cover and conceal wand: in Fair.
Another concealer, I went a little crazy I know. This is just another one to try out, It was pretty cheap and it doesn't hurt to try out new things right?

Collection lasting perfection concealer: in fair.
And here it is. My favourite concealer, following a common trend among bloggers, but I really can't help it. It's a damn good product that does it's job well, what can I say.

Collection lasting colour lipstick: in fig delight.
Because if anything I definitely needed more red/cherry toned lipsticks in my life right. OF COURSE. This beaut from collection is a lovely brown toned colour and it makes me feel super sophisticated and classy.

MUA Luxe whipped velvet lips: in Majestic.
Whoops, another actual red colour? well damn. that must have just slipped in there, it would be a shame not to make use of it now right? right.

Rimmel Kate Lipstick Nude collection: In 42.
I've never been a nude lipstick person, I usually stick with reds or dark purple colours, I always think that nudes would just make me look pasty and washed out but I've had a nude pink colour before and thought I would give this nude colour a try, It seems like the perfect pinky brown nude, and actually looks pretty close to my actual lip colour which is cool.

Arty Supplies Haul.

So hi...

As I have mentioned and you might be able to tell from my Doodle dumpin' post (here) I'm super into drawing recently, it's a hobby I've picked back up from when I used to draw non-stop in high school. I use my WACOM Tablet to draw digitally but as I always want to improve in all aspects of drawing, I keep up drawing traditionally. So I've been window shopping around and have slowly picked up a few pieces, which I thought I'd show off.

First few things I picked up were the big set of erasers, since I always seem to lose the ones I have, so I thought buying a couple wouldn't do me any harm, they cost me only £1. The next thing was the A3 Sketch pad, I picked this up so I could experiment of bigger pieces and adding in lots of details to backgrounds. I also want to use it to practice my painting skills because I haven't really painted at all since high school art classes, although I really enjoyed it. Tying into that I picked up this watercolours paint set from Royal and Langnickel, it only cost a couple of pounds and I didn't want to fork out for better quality paints until I know I'll make good use of them and learn how to properly paint and colour to a satisfying standard. And along with that yet again, how can I hope to paint without any brushes to paint with? So I picked up a set from the same brand as the watercolours, I think you can work out why.

 The most expensive thing I got in the whole haul was these Copic Marker pens. I bought 3 sets but one of them were for Pre-order and have yet to arrive, but I don't mind waiting. All 3 sets are apart of the Copic Ciao brand. The first set on the left as you can see is the Manga 2 set (of 4/5 sets I believe). I picked it for the nice range of bright colours along with a great liner pen, The colours from left to right are:
E21- a lovely peachy skin colour
B45-  a light pastel blue
BG49-  an aqua green colour
R05- a bright baby blue
R59- a bright true red
The colours are all super true to their appearance and are great quality.
The second set on the right is called the 'Scrap & Stempel set 2' The colours in this set are much more pastel and has a bigger ranges but are still super pretty, the colours are:
E57: a basic brown
RV95: a purple tinted pink colour
G21: A muddy ivy green
E51: a yellow toned skin colour
B93: a basic blue colour
0: Blender pen
The two sets are both amazing Quality, though as these markers are always highly praised as markers for professionals it's not much of a surprise. They cost me £13.50 each, which isn't too bad for 6 marker pens. I already adore them and can't wait to keep improving myself and increasing my collection of them.

The last purchases of the haul are two kind of pens I use to outline and add shines to some drawings, The Black pen is a 'needle' pen from Uni-ball and was about £2/3 and then the white pen is actually a gel pen from Hybrid which was about the same price. they are cheap but they do they job of outlining and just making a drawing look sharper and generally better. And that's everything in my little art haul, pretty content with everything that I got and how they've been going.

Any good art products you've bought recently? or stationary bits?

Qwertee Haul

So hi...

So I haven't really done all that much shopping recently, with a holiday to Ireland planned for the end of March (Paddy's day woo) and trying to save I just can't really afford to go shopping crazy. I did however make a purchase from Qwertee.com. The site has 3 designs daily which are designed and voted for by the public/customers. they also have a little tee shop section where the most popular designs are kept around as usually the 3 designs are available for 24 hours before they are then gone forever. I've been eyeing up a few things on the site for a while but when I saw a Harry potter design dedicated to Snape/Alan Rickman I went for it. The Package arrived super quickly, I was informed it would ship on february 1st and arrive between February 7th-14th. It arrived 9th Feb, So super quickly. they also had little haribo packets inside which I thought was a dead cute touch.

 The Deciding product on my Qwertee order was this 'Always' Snape design, which I brought as a jumper. (You can buy the design as a jumper or tee or hoody, super cool) after the passing of Alan Rickman, my feeds were flooded with this harry potter quote and it gave me all the feels. It's probably one of my all time favourite quotes. As soon as I saw this design on the site I had to have it. The jumper itself is super comfy and feel like such good quality. The design itself is also top knotch and hasn't been compromised by having it on the jumper. This is probably gonna be my new favourite to snuggle in.

 The second product is another love. This design is a Tokyo ghoul design which is my favourite anime. I had seen this print on the Qwertee store and really wanted it but at the time couldn't really justify the purchase, It then seemed to disappear and I was devastated. However! while seeing the Snape design and just looking through the tee hop I spotted it again and  have never added something to my basket so quick, It's one of the best Tokyo Ghoul t-shirt designs I've seen and now its mine. Once again the quality is amazing, I bought this in a men's t-shirt for that extra comfort and bagginess and it's super cosy.

 LAst but not least is this Lord of the Ring's print. Qwertee have a few of these 'Beer/Alcohol' Designs with lord of the rings having 2 other designs and I've been a jack skellington version too. I decided on this one as I just loved it the most and liked the black top background, It's a mens and just as good quality as the other two. I'm in love with it. Lord of the rings is my childhood bae.

And those are my first, but most definitely not my last purchase from Qwertee. I noticed they are all showing off my inner dork a little but I don't mind. Admittedly there's a load more designs and tee's I want to buy but these three were my favourite and i couldn't afford much more, Maybe next term eyy?
If you've never heard of Qwertee I'd definitely say go check them out. You're bound to find something you like and if you don't you can vote for a design you like and it may pop up!

Have you heard of Qwertee? what did you order?

Mini Lush Haul

So hi...

For my birthday my lovely sister bought me a lush gift box set, and strangely enough while I was at Bath, I bought myself some stuff as well so now I have a nice little collection to share with you all.

 The set my sister bought for my is called the Sweetie pie gift set but when I tried to find it on the site it didn't show up, so I'm guessing it was a limited thing. It comes with 7 products, one of which I've already used, the products are:

-Space Girl Ballistic: This is the purple one in the shape of a planet, if it wasn't obvious enough, it smells nice and looks nice, I have good expectations for this one so I'm thinking to save it for a pamper night when I'm super stressed.
- Rockstar Soap: oddly enough I bought myself some of this when I went Bath, but it was recommended to me as I asked for something similar to snow fairy as I always want but miss it when it's out, the smell isn't exactly like snow fairy, I find it to be a bit milder but it's still lovely and sweet and I can't wait to use it.
-Think Pink Ballistic: This is the product I've already used, it smelt quite sweet and made the water.. you guessed it, pink. There was also little petals that floated about the bath, which is a love/hate for me, it looks awesome but is so impractical!
-Shimmy Shimmy Glitter bar: This isn't the golden sparkly bar like you would think but the Cream heart shape, I'm really looking forward to this as it looks like it would make my skin so so soft, it feels super creamy in my hands, the glitter is less to look forward to though
-Creamy Candy: With a little flower on top this bar looks cute, 'mm guessing the flower floats around the bat and the bar itself definitely gives a candy smell, I think this will be one of the least interesting one but I could be wrong.
-Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly: Now this one is just so confusing to me, It's a jelly shower wash? Like shower gel in jelly form, But I'm just not sure how to go about using it, do I cut bits of jelly out to use in my showers or what? Such an interesting idea, it does smells lovely and when attempt to break up and use a bit, it bit make me feel lovely and scented.
-Sunny Side: This is the golden glittery circle, and man oh man I can only imagine the mess this will make, but boy would it feel like some sort of magical fairy tale, barely touching with you hands has them covered in glittery goodness. It's a pleasant smell and I bet will make for one hell of a bath.

That's all of the Products from the Gift set and I have 3 more products I bought, one of which I've already mentioned is more of the Rock star bar. The other two products are both bath bars and are:

-The Comforter: I feel it's a sort of does what it says thing which will let me just chill out in the bath and watch Tv while I soak my skin, another one for after a stressed day I think.

-Granny takes a dip: Odd name I though, I got this another seeing a few people mention it and it's lovely and colourful ( sorry I didn't want to rip the bars so no photos) It's got a lovely fresh scent and I think it would be the sort to refresh and inspire you from the colours.

And those are all the things I have from Lush at the moment, not a bad little lot if you ask me, loads of sweet things which is just my style and I just know I'll appreciate these when I'm back in Birmingham and Panicking over the 1000 Assignments and essays I'll undoubtedly have.

Picked anything up from lush recently?

Primark Mini Haul

So hi...

Before I broke my foot, that day I actually had a really good day just shopping on my own and getting a few things I'v wanted for a while, I also made a trip to primark, I wasn't looking for anything in particular but that always seems to be how you find the best things.

 So accessory wise I picked up these gorgeous little earrings for £1! they are really interesting as well, the peal sits at the front and the gold triangle sits at the back of the ear piercing for that extra detail. The glasses were actually bought by my mum for our Race for life team, but I thought they were pretty cute and from primark so I thought I would include them. And my Favourite is this set of three chockers/necklaces, they are quite small and cute and I love the little bits of colour in them. I've seen a load of amazing looking necklaces and chockers from Primark but as my local store is pretty small we don't get much of the seasonal products which sucks, I am aiming to go shopping elsewhere soon though once I can walk.

Clothes wise I was good and didn't let myself walk around too much, I picked up these two printed tees for £3 each, the ying yang one I actually cut the arms off to make it more of a tank. The tigers one I bought kind of as a respect to my uni as we are the Bcu Tigers and the print is quite similar to my uni symbol. And finally the gorgeous summer shorts, I'd seen these around a lot but hadn't seen many of them in store, the shorts section in my local Primark is a bomb shell and nearly impossible to find anything. But I managed to grab these in my size and I can't wait to wear them! Since the sun disappeared I'm hoping it'll make an appearance in august.
And that's my little haul from primark! not too much stuff but I'm happy with it.

Any purchases you're loving from Primark recently?

Make-up Revolution Haul Part 2

So Hi...

Part 2 of my Make-up Revolution Haul today and this is a pretty small one, and it also has a little bit of a theme to it. All base related products aiming to improve mover all make-up application.

The first purchases I made is the Pro-face mini brush set. These are pretty adorable little face brushes. I went for the mini set purely because it was cheaper and I personally don't mind working with slightly smaller brushes. The brushes themselves feel lovely and soft and I now want a little candle holder or something to use as a little brush holder for them that can sit next to the bigger brushes.

As well as the mini set I also bought a normal sized brush. I bought the F101 Face brush, just because I don't really have any brushes I feel are really suited for foundation application and It's about time I got one, It's a pretty looking brush and feels super soft and if we get along I may have to purchase a few more brushes from Make up Revolution but we'll see.

The other two products I got are both dedicated to making my make-up last longer and hopefully look better overall. the Pro Fix Spray is something I've been wanting for a while, but so far it has always been sold out in Superdrug. I'm gutted to say that this product was leaking when it arrived so I'm missing half the product but I am waiting for a reply from Make up Revolution about this. But I'm really excited about using it. I also got thr Ultra all day prime and anti-shine balm which I have high hopes for, especially with the anti-shine part. I always feel like my face looks shiny, It's a major issue of mine and although it probably doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I think it's still an issue. So I'm hoping this product will lessen the shine factor and give me a few extra hours of wear for my make-up.

And those are the odd bit's I got in my huge Make-up revolution haul, The biggie is going to be in part 3 with the spring collection set.

Make up Revolution Haul Part 1

So hi...

It's another haul... I'm bad I know! but with student finance and only having 6 weeks at uni I have a lot of spare money which would usually be spent towards food that I treated myself with! ( Last 2 hauls: Superdrug and Primark) This is Make-up Revolution haul and as you can tell by the title, it won't be the only one! I've broken the haul up into three bits.
This part one is showing off the the #Liphug collections, I bought the Reds collection and the Nudes collection,
The Second part will be the odd other bits I've bought including some brushes! (Which will be up Wednesday 14th)
And the final third one is the little Spring collection deal which I bought which had a variety of products. (That'll be up Thursday 18th)
So a lot of hauls up for you guys, which I hope you don't mind, I personally love haul posts, they are quite possibly my favourite type of posts. Hopefully you guys like them too!
Anyway lets get on with it!

So The LipHug Collection include 5 lipsticks in each set and I believe there were 3 sets? I don't know but I remember seeing the nudes, reds and pinks in the sets. I got these two for £7.50 each down from £12.50 which is a pretty good price. The packaging is really pretty looking and so are the lipsticks, very sophisticated looking with the gold.

Left to Right: Saviour will come// I am ready! // Still missing my baby// Who we are!// To get lucky
So the Reds #liphug collection, The collection has a nice little variety of colours from true reds to very dark burgundy tinted colours, Pretty sure these 5 will be my go to for nights out this Summer.

Left to Right: Insatiable// I think you're amazing// When you came to me// Not giving up// Save me from yourself//
The nudes also have a nice variety in shades, I like that they are pinky toned manly as I have pinky natural lips so super pale nudes tend to wash me out a bit and end up looking like I have no lips, The colours are all super nice and I like the idea of wearing these on hot summer days where I'm not feeling to much make-up but want to look a little bit dressed up.

Beauty Mini Haul

So hi...

So you may or may not know (you probably should know) but I am a student! and as such the third term of student finance has just hit student bank accounts everywhere! It's a glorious time for us depraved lot to give ourselves a little pick me up of spending! Now I'm quite sensible with my student finance and know what I can and can't spend! so today is only a mini haul but still a haul. I went into superdrug last week and treated myself to a few new bits!

Firstly I picked up three new items from Make-up revolution. I decided to try their focus and fix concealer as mine is currently running low and collection's lasting perfection was nowhere to be seen. Next was yet another lipstick as I'm obsessed and you just can't go wrong with a £1 lipstick. It's a bright purple/pink colour and it's fab. Lastly I treated myself to a new eye shadow palette, I picked up the 'Girls on Film' palette as I loved the mix of smokey dark colours it has in it as I feel it's really my jam.

Next I went to my good old MUA, I actually got three items from here as well but like an amateur didn't photograph the bronzer I picked up as I was too excited in using it. But yeah I got that. As well as that I picked up yet another nil polish (as if I didn't have enough) in the shade 'ultramarine'. IT's a beautiful mixture of blue and purple and I already have it on my nails. Last is another concealer product, the hide and conceal concealer stick in fair, just as a product to try out because why not?

It was 3 for 2 in Superdrug so I got £2 off my whole purchase as a few items were only £1 each, but as well as that I gor this #makeup Bag free aswell! well impressed, I'm thinking to use it for my daily make-up choices and use another of my bags to collect favourites and products to review/rave about since I'm thinking of doing more of those!
Bought any new make-up bits and bobs recently? let me know down in the comments below!

A Student kinda Haul

So Hi...

As a student haul post are a very rare occurrence, cause I gotta eat ya know? So the opportunity to much myself a bunch of new clothes make-up or anything for that matter is basically zero. However! when you find a site which has sales where clothes can be bought for £2, £4 or £6 instead of their £15-20 original price then dang I can make a small exception.
And so here I am with that exception, The site is called Clothesminded.com, I think It's a relatively new site running in the Uk. Since this seemed to good to be true I at least looked this up. After purchasing all this I was worried I'd never receive the package, however, it arrive within the amount of time it was said it would and all the items looked like nice quality. I will say that one item I bought I was super disappointed in, It was a black ribbed pair of shorts, though the tag said size 14 it looked more like a size 6, pushing an 8. Something I certainly wasn't squishing my tush into, Even my Uni flatmates were a little taken back by the size. Apart from that however I've been super happy. I've photographed what I had bought and tried to remember their exact prices. The overall cost was around £50-55 odd.

The Christmas Haul: what I got.

So hi...

First things first, like what most bloggers say, this is not meant to be a boast, just a little post showing generally what I was lucky enough to receive from family and friends this Christmas.

I always feel like i get way too spoilt on Christmas, but I have a very traditional family, in that we all like to spend a lot of presents on each other. And our parents still treat us like we are children on cChristmas which I can't really complain about. My main present this Christmas was a new laptop from my dad, as well as money and other bits from the rest of my family. It was a really good Christmas. I'm absolutely over the moon with my laptop. I can now even play pc games properly on steam and everything, super happy.

How was everyone else's Christmas this year? did you get spoilt or spoil someone yourself?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
