Half Term Drugstore Haul

I worked  all half term and with the pennies I earned I treat myself to a few things from the drugstore. Thanks Alice :)

First up I bought two nail polishes on my way home of the last day of school (I actually got these from the makeup section in Morrison's but still) 

Rimmel London 60 Seconds Super Shine By Rita Ora- daisy days  (£2.99)

This is a bright yellow and works well with pastel colours, which is what I wanted it for. The brush I quite fat so it's super easy to apply and it needs about two coats and then it's also opaque. I have it on two of my nails now and I'm really impressed, its such a happy colour and defiantly a staple for the rest of spring and summer!

Maybelline Superstay Forever Strong Professional Nail Varnish- Pink in the park (£4.49)

This one, like the other is a pastel colour but this is a baby pink colour. It has a fat brush and drys quickly and It needs two to three coats to be fully opaque. I don't normally like pink but it's warming up to me and I can't deny this is gorgeous and also on two of my nails, where it is going to stay for some time!

The other three things I picked up in boots on the way home from work one day. 

Maybelline EyeStudio Colour Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow -off and on bronze  (£4.99)

I've wanted one of these for ages and only just cracked and finally got one and let me tell you, IT'S AMAZING! I genially love it! Its so easy to apply and the colour is beautiful. I got is in off and on bronze or something like that which is a shimmery bronze colour and is just gorgeous! All I do is apply some to my lids with and finger or brush and then just blend it out with a fluffy brush and that's it! I also drag some into my waterline and smoke it out with some eyeliner (I just make it up as I go alone basically) I want to experiment with it as most people who's talked about it say they use it as a base so that sounds interesting, only I suck at eyeshadow so I could take me sometime until it looks good XD 

Collection Gorgeous Glow Block- blush  (£2.99)

This blush has five shades that you swirl together to give you a subtle natural glow and I can't help but agree that it is gorgeous! I've worn this twice out and both times I've gotten complements and it was only £2.99, so yes I'm very chuffed with it!

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer- nude eclipse  (£6.49)

I remember Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter mentioning something about these a while ago so when I saw them I investigated further.  I was already looking for a nude lipstick so I was automatically drawn to "nude eclipse" However, I wasn't sure what it would look like and was worried it would make me look lip I had foundation on my lips which isn't very hot and as my old head of year would say "you look ill" to the girls who had it on. But I fretted over nothing because I love it (I've so over used that word but I don't care haha) It's slightly darker then my lips and is just stunning! (I can' describe things for the life of me!) 

I was very chuffed with these purchases if you can't tell hehe!

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed 

Have any recommendations? 

I hope you have a super fantastic day,

Half Term Drugstore Haul

Spring Fashion Inspiration

Well, spring is officially upon us and after several hours on pinterest, I decided too put together a "Spring Fashion Inspiration" post to get into the spring mood :) Most of these can work in summer as well.

Pastels 

Pastels are stereotypically spring, I mean I don't know about you but even when I think of the word "spring" it's written in baby pink. I don't know why either, maybe it's because they're light and girly and not to bold and in your face. They're the perfect transition colours from winter's dark colours to summer's bright colours. I absolutely adore them!

Floral

Another stereotypical spring thing because you know, flowers blossom in spring and all. However it's weird that I'm putting them in this post because I used to hate floral prints as I thought they were either super girl or for old ladies. Oh how wrong I was.. I mean they're still super girl but I don't mind that much anymore (not like I did when I was a kid and hated the sight of pink, YUCK!) in fact I quite like them, especially little prints and daisies.

Lace

 Lace reminds me of the little sundresses I worn on summer holidays when I was little. It's very bohemian and screams music festival. Now that it's getting warmer I want  to add some lace dresses and tops to my wardrobe so I can feel like a summer Goddess, especially with a flower crown. Oh how Tumblr!

 High Neck Spaghetti Tops and Dresses

 Ignoring the fact of I have no idea what these are actually called I love them and think they're perfect for spring and summer! There are such a cool twist on you're average strapy top (which I look hideous in as the boob gods frown upon me completely missed me out) These just look so chic and tumblr and I think they're super flattering!

Denim

 Denim is obviously an all year round thing but I thought I'd still mention it because I've seen quite a few spring outfits I like that include it that I love the look of. Mainly waistcoats and dungarees.. I LOVE dungarees! :3

Stripes

Stripes are another thing I used to hate but they're grown on me (not literally) .. probably due to watching too much a lot of Zoella. I think they're very stylish and even classy ;) And I think they're perfect for spring to pair with a bright colour because they may be monochrome but they still look bright and add interest to an outfit.

Whale, that's it. Of course there are tons of clothes I think are super springy but I tried to narrow it down. If you want to see where I found all these pictures and more my pinterest is linked below :)

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^,^

What do you think of these and what are your spring fashion must haves?

I hope you have a super fantastic day!

Spring Fashion Inspiration

Sneaky Drugstore Haul

During the Easter holidays I was back at work and a few times on the way home, me and my sister popped into either superdrug or boots and I bought a few things.. oops?

So what did I buy...

• Garnier Marcella Cleansing Water- I've heard a few people mention this and seem to like so when I spotted in boots I investigated further. I'd describe it simply as a make-up remover and a very good one at that! I've tried it few times now and I'm truly impressed! It comes off so easily and doesn't irritate or sting my skin like some makeup wipes do.

• Boots cotton wool pads- Just what I use to take of my makeup :)

• 52 Goody ouchless elastics- I use this little clear elastics all the time and I manged to lose 52 of them! (reminds me of bobby pins/grips the little buggers ;) ) 

• L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation- I really wanted to try out a new foundation and I've heard a lot about this one so I picked it up. I've tried it a few times and I'm not sure how I feel about yet. It's really runny which I thought was weird and I can't decide whether it makes a difference or not but maybes that's because It's low coverage and maybe that's what is suppose to be like? I don't know..

•  Rimmel London Exaggerate lip liner in 024 Red Diva- Having not the steadiest hands when it comes to makeup, I wanted a red lip liner as I wear red lipstick a lot way more then I should. Not only dose it make it easier to make it neat, it also makes my lipstick last all night. I went to a party the other week and people kept questioning me about my lipstick and was like "as if it's still on" I was pretty chuffed.

• got2b Beach matt Mermaid look Texturising salt spray- Mermaid look MERMAID look! Who doesn't want to look like a mermaid? Summer is around the corner so I wanted a salt spray to try out because I've heard so much about them and I wanted to look all beachy and tropical and then I found this! I'm so excited to see if it works!

• Barry M Gelly hi-shine in Cotton- Again, after being inspire by youtubers and instagram and all things Internet, I really wanted to try white nail polish for this time of the year because it's so bright and looks so classy ;) And I love it!

Whale that's all the lovely things I bought myself, thanks Alice for working so hard hehe

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^.^
