Drugstore Haul

Heya lovelies. Hope you're all well! It was payday Friday so I bought myself a few beauty products and thought I'd share it with you guys. 



I only bought what I needed and a few items that I've always wanted to try out.  


I don't usually wear lipstick but I thought I would try some out and hopefully I will try and find a lipstick colour I love. 
The first one I bought is from Collection and is called Cherry Pop and it was a bargain at £2.99. For the price it's a good product and lasts for quite a while but I think it is a little too bright for me. 
The second one is from Rimmel London and is called Asia and was £4.99. I personally do love this colour as it's subtle and could wear it all the time. 


I've never had or even used a primer before so I gave the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer a try. It was £5.99 and has now become a part of my make-up routines. I thought it would be heavy on my face but surprisingly it wasn't; it feels light. A little of this product definitely goes a long way. 
The Rimmel London Stay Blushed, liquid cheek tint. Colour 'pop of pink' was £4.49 and I'm still not to sure whether I'm a fan of this product, to me it feels a little bit heavy on my cheeks and doesn't give my cheeks enough colour that I would like it to. Maybe if I try it a bit more I might find a way to use it that will enhance the colour. 
Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer in the shade 'true ivory' was £5.49. This has become my favourite concealer as it lasts throughout the day, covers my dark circles and spots easily. Plus you don't have to use a lot of the product to ensure  that blemishes and dark circles are covered. This is definitely one of my must haves.  


Maybelline Great Lash mascara was £4.99 and Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless mascar was £7.99. I've only used these mascaras a few time an like them both as they don't make my eyelashes clump and they both lengthen my lashes greatly. 
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes eyeliners was only £5.49 and was a little difficult for me to use because I've never used an angled tip like it has before. It is a highly pigmented black, glides onto the skin easily an I'm sure when I keep using it, I'll get used to it and I will find it easier to use.  
MUA Pro eyeshadow palette was amazingly only £4 and I absolutely love the nude colours. All the shadows are very pigmented and I love this, all the colours within the palette I love and will be able to make many different looks from them. This is another one of my must haves and I will have to try other MUA products. 


Batiste dry shampoo 'coconut & exotic tropical' was only £1.49. I always wanted to try this and is one of my new favourites. 
Nivea pure and natural day cream for dry to sensitive skin was £2.69. I'm glad I brought this product as it does irritate my skin and doesn't bring me out in a tonne of spots and a little goes a long way. 
Johnsons Make Up Be Gone Clear Skin wiped were only £1.52. They smell lovely and easily remove my make-up, they don't irritate my skin or bring me out in spots.

B.S.Apparel tees

Heya lovelies. Sorry for the lack of posts as I've been busy working but keep a look out for a Primark haul as this will be happening very soon!! 

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to B.S.Apparel for the tees they have sent me and the first thing that I must say about these is that they are different to all the others tees I have seen around lately, making them very unique. They have definitely thought out of the box when designing these which is great and I hope they will get the recognition they deserve. 





The city tee and the dreamer tee are simple with just the black design but contrast well against the white and the gray of the tee themselves, which makes the designs stand out more! My personal favourite is the fatal attraction tee as to me, it's more luring and colourful. Oh by the way I think my brother is a massive fan of these tees, as he seems to wear them all the time now and I never get the chance to wear them myself. 

The other thing which is great is the company slogan 'true dreamers never sleep,' this is because it means you have to work hard to get what you want in life and it's such a great saying. 

Take a look at their website www.bsapparel.bigcartel.com as their autumn/winter collection should be arriving soon. So I'm sure there will be a load more great tees to come from them. 
Also, give them a follow on Twitter @b_sapparel and on Instagram @b_sapparel.

Dusty Pink

Heya lovelies! Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately, this is because I have got myself my first ever proper job and have been really busy working these past few weeks. Hopefully I will find a way to blog around my job more.

This latest blog post is about a new retail brand out in the UK called Dusty Pink and have only just recently launched their website. I would like to say a huge thank you to the dress that they have sent me, which is a blue bodycon dress covered with gold sequins all over, in a zebra print style look.  





This dress fits my body nicely and as a bodycon dress it isn't too tight to wear and you're able to still move freely around in it. Also it isn't too short and when moving around in it, it doesn't rise up like some dresses do. This is going to be one of my favourite going out dresses as I know I will feel comfortable and confident in this dress, especially with it paired with a gorgeous pair of heels. Plus every girl needs an item in her wardrobe with sequins on! 

Make sure you take a look at Dusty Pink's website as you will find gorgeous clothing at such affordable prices, the web link is http://www.dustypink.co.uk/ Also give them a follow on Twitter @DustyPinkUK, Instagram @DustyPinkUK and on Facebook- DustyPinkUk.
