Beauty: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum.

So hi...

So while in Bath (I know mentioning it again) I done a small amount of shopping which included a new foundation, as much as I loved the urban decay sample I had, it's finally run out after using it for a good couple of weeks. So I was due a new foundation, and not being able to afford the full sized urban decay foundation meant trying out a new high street offering, after looking around Superdrug I picked up 2, Collections foundation ( Which I realized I picked up in the wrong colour, damn it) and the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in Vanille Clair.

The Bourjois Serum has been quite agreeable, it's the right colour for a start, you think at 20 I'd know my own skin tone properly. Anyway, it also is a nice consistence and goes onto my skin smoothly. It doesn't feel too heavy and lasts a relatively long time before my grim oily combination skin starts to poke through.


 I'd seen the healthy mix serum floating around the blogging world for a while and heard nothing but good from it but I'm a poor student and I like to take minimal risks when it comes to purchasing base products, because it's unlikely I'll be able to purchase more for a decent time after, the only reason I bt the bullet this time was the feeling of being on holiday and having a decent amount of birthday money of me meant I felt a little more willing to spend, and boy I'm glad I was, this doesn't feel quite as great and covering as the urban decay offering but it'll be a good in between till I get my hands on that little gem.

Have you made any slightly on impulse beauty purchases 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?

My Perfect Shoe.

So hi...

So It's pretty obvious if you follow me on any social media that I am a major boot lover, I have happily gained a small collection of gorgeous boots that I'm content with, but they other week I've found the perfect heeled shoe for my collection. They aren't really boots so I'd say they are my perfect style of shoe, and they are a great mix between smart looking and edgy looking, just change the outfit and accessories and bam!

Aren't they so pretty????? I love lace up shoes/boots. They are just so nice. They are also easy to just slip on and off once done up and they are really comfortable, but I still get a little height to make people forget how short I actually am, which is always a bonus.  The best thing about these shoes as well Is that I got them from New look in the sale for £12 down from £24, What an absolute bargain right. Couldn't leave them in the store at that price, t would just be rude.

What are you idea of a perfect shoe? let me know in the comments section down below!

Potter Love!

So hi..

Now this is a little bit of an odd post but I realized I bought these two items within a relatively short amount of time, to the point where I was wearing the top at the time the choker arrived and put them on together to realize that I looked like the biggest Harry potter fan!

 So I first picked up the top from Primark, I think it was only around £6 but I loved the faded burgundy colour and the simple print, Feels like it shows I like harry potter but I still like to look good and not obsessed! It's a super comfy material as well so it's just nice to feel cosy but look pretty good.

 The Choker I ordered online from Ebay, I was just looking for chokers in general and thought this was an awesome looking one, I actually ordered this before the top, and forgotten about it as it took a few weeks to arrive because it was shipped from Hong Kong, it arrived conveniently the day after the Primark visit where I decided to wear my potter top. I was so excited with how good the choker looked that I wore them together and realised how much of a fan I looked like. I don't mind though. I mean it is Harry potter.

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!

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!

The Year Round up: 2014

So hi...

And that's the year over.. 2014 over and done with and I'm not sure whether I thought it was quick or not. Honestly a lot of the year feels quite blurry to me as Uni beginning has been such a huge change it's blurred the few months previous, BUT here it is a few photos of my year.


Janaury: This was a pretty good month, I went yolo mood and chopped off over half my hair to my shoulders and did lots of cooking as well as catching up with friends.


Febuary: As far as I remember this was another pretty good month, I went to see ADTR with my friend Darcie and  had another London trip for Casual Shopping with Ross, Was eventful and lots of fun.


March: not as good of a month, I finally went into hospital to get my Tonsils removed which had been playing up for nearly 6 months, but I was glad to have them out, And still got to enjoy Paddy' day with the Family, Result.


April: This was an interesting month, the highlight being the fancy dress party my friend had, which I went as a maid If you couldn't tell, I think it looks pretty good, I also got a bit of summer prep shopping done and treated myself to games, I love the Bioshock game series.



May: I had a really good may, had a lot of fun, Went out for a 'quiet' drink with my friend Amber which ended up with a struggled walk home at 6.30am, I also had work at 8 the next day where I didn't finish till 8pm, It was hard, I feel like I lost my sanity at some point, but I still really enjoyed the work and night out aha! I also had a great chilled 'party' at my Friends which is the second picture. And the last is a catch up with Friend Darcie where we were classy and sat with a whole pizza each and a Costa, Perfect.


June: Apparently june was the month of selfies for me. In honesty this was the month my memory card messed up and decided to wipe my photos before I got a chance to back the latest files up, And so poor june here doesn't have much to show for it, but I remember it was a lovely start to my summer, I wore dresses and everything, I also had a really good work shift at the club for Specs comedy, it was really good.


July: Getting into the full swing of summer I made sure to make the most of it trying to soak up the rays without burning and we had plenty of nights out with lots of ridiculous photos as you can tell.


August: So I slightly messed up my neat 3 photo thing i had going on here but August is summer and my birth month so gimme some leeway here. And can i just say, that middle photo, I now look at and wish I looked like that now, I was working out then as well, what the hell?? As I said before I turned 19 in august and had lots of days in the sun, nights out and a little BBQ at a friends, I also got a full fringe which I'm already missing...


September: Again ruining the theme but the last few months have been very eventful and I've tried to take more photos for it. I moved to Uni and had a heart breaking 'Last Supper' with my friends at home. But Freshers was super eventful and fun, very student typical in the large amount of partying.


October: Still in the moving to uni swing, I still spent lots of time partying with my new friends. I also went to a toga party as apart of a social with the Football society I joined, they are a fab bunch. I also had a lovely week back home as we partied on halloween (My friend has his birthday on halloween) And I got to see my cat, always a highlight.



November: The partying calmed down slightly in November but not too much, It was also the start of the Festivities of Christmas settling in, I got to experience the German Christmas market in Birmingham, It was absolutely amazing. Everything was so pretty and it put me right into the Christmas spirit


December: And so here we are the last month, I could chat ages about December since It's fresh in my mind but you would have already seen my December round up so I won't go on. It was a nice mix between being at uni and at home and was an absolutely amazing finish to the year!

And that was my year, I'd say it was a pretty good year apart from the hospital early on and stuff, but I pasted my A levels and Uni is going well, I also already signed for a house next year with the amazing group of friends I've made at uni and I can't wait to live in a house next year. I've also really grown as a person since uni, and have grown very close with a few people from home, I suppose realizing those I can always rely on.

So it's been a really great year I think, Well as the end of it I'm feeling positive so it had to be!
 How was your year? Did you get up to much?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Black Friday Buys.

So Hi...

You may have noticed that black Friday is suddenly a very big deal in the UK now, with a ton of non america brands jumping on the discount and offer band wagon. Not that I mind too much, though honestly I don't mind the excuse to look around for some deals.
I was in Birmingham city centre to head to TheBodyShop event and had a little look around, I only got 3 things though so I didn't wanna call this a haul.



First 2 things I picked up were from primark, they weren't really in the sale but they didn't cost too much to begin with so it's fine!
The gorgeous midi-skirt was only £8 and I absolutely love the colours as well the pattern, It's not too much.
Then I found these boots, How perfect are they???? I want so many of the boots in primary but these were the best ones I found for £22. I can't wait to buy a load more after christmas. Maybe I'll do a boots haul?


Lastly was the set I got at thebodyshop, due to the 50% off deal we got it was only £13. So far I've been loving them, but I'll say more in a future post my full opinions.

We'll talk soon lovelies!
