Haul | Drugstore makeup

Recently I've been trying to expand my makeup collection.. To fill my new Muji storage and I'm fed up of using the same products in the same routine! Being inspired by lots of lovely beauty bloggers, I've been stocking up and I now have the makeup bug.. what have I got myself into? I literally can't stay away from Boots & Superdrug.. especially  now Boots have their 3 for 2 on all makeup..

This is more of a collective haul, what products I've bought over February, from various different places!

Clothes Show Live!

Hello! I'm sorry again, for my lack of posts. I've been so busy now that I'm back in Birmingham, meeting up with old friends etc I haven't had the time! I was also waiting for the above photos to be posted online so I could post this lovely post about Clothes Show Live 2013.

As you can see I was snapped at the clothes show, wearing my usual cheap primark attire haha, you can view the article with my photographs if you click on them, above. I wish however I told her that my scarf is actually Burberry, might of made my outfit sound better than just primarni lol. ;) My fringe is also just crazy, apologies haha. Since having this new fringe in, I've seemed to forgotten how to style it, but now I've been blow-drying it, its been so much better. Anyway, moving along...

So this is what I actually bought from the clothes show this year :)

So this year, I was genuinely disappointed with the clothes show, this is literally all I bought.

I found that there was so much vintage stuff and barely any higher end brands, which was super disappointing as I don't ever go to the clothes show to 'thrift' Birmingham town centre has so many vintage stores, what's the point of going to the clothes show for it when its like 10x the price.

 I literally bought one piece of clothing and then bits and bobs and a goody bag.

Even the Rimmel goody bags this year were super rubbish, it had like fake tan and orange coloured lipsticks etc and its winter.. like what.

So I was sad about that.

They had there own little social media blogger section too, which was super cool, but as it was invitation only, it was kind of pointless. They had a whole area allocated for it but no-one was ever there. I thought it would've been good for any blogger to go visit, get tips, you know, but nope.

So yeah, rant over, sorry haha but I am so glad that I bought a groupon ticket and didn't pay full price.

These were a good idea this year though, although the first photograph was £3. ¬_¬

But meh, the concept was cool, we just didnt have enough time to change props haha hence why I also look so surprised in the top photograph.

The second booth photo was free and we got free diet coke! yay!

Ciate, Emerald Collection box set - £3

So these were on offer if you bought 3 of these sets it was only £10, which according to my lovely friend Katie who came with me. She loves this brand and I was convinced. Maybe I might actually try and have nails for Christmas. I thought this box set was the perfect opportunity to kind of just have a go at it and see how I feel. So I had one of Katie's boxes as I don't need 3. I'm thinking of doing a review on this soon! 

So comment if you would like to see that. :)

Directions, Hair Dye, Various colours, - 4 for £10

I know that there's only 3 here, but I used one to mix with my conditioner. It's just a turquoise one. I thought I would stock up on some colours, I really want to try the violet next, which I will probably dilute. I'm just so excited to try new colours and I love la riche directions, so far.

ELLE Magazine, Goody bag - £2

I bought this last year and although I wasn't hyped about what was actually in the goody bag, I bought it anyway just for the magazines. I really enjoy ELLE but I can never pay £4 for a magazine, just ouch. So 2 for £2 plus a nail varnish and St Tropez bottle is kinda worth it.

I did however receive the St Tropez last year, which sucked because it was just meh, disappointing guys!

Cross top, OhMyLove - £5

This was the same exact stock they had in last year, their tshirts etc they were selling off for a fiver. I bought it because I bought some last year and they are super comfy! I was so sad that it was the same stock though, I really wanted to get some bargains from them as I love their stuff. This looks cute though, love wearing this with some leggings. :)

Diet coke Graduate show

I didnt actually visit the main show, I wanted to shop more than anything although I did stop by some of the graduate showcases to see what graduates were up too! These are some of my favourites :)

For some reason blogger isn't letting me upload my edited versions. Boo!

But yeah I'm sorry for my poor photographs this week, I have had to use my iphone for some as my boyfriend is borrowing my super camera :3

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Thanks for reading :)

Haul | Primark Mini

I've been trying hard to keep a good flow of posts going this week, hopefully I will do a blog post everyday, well that's what I'm aiming for.
Anyway so a few days ago I went on a little shopping trip to the primark in Bournemouth town centre. This is a huge deal for me as I barely ever get the chance to spend money on clothes or to actually go to the town centre. Its such a long walk away and cycling.. well. UGH.

So I got the bus.. I discovered there's a bus stop literally down my road, (which means more trips yippee!) so yeah here is my mini little primark haul, not a big one as I'm poor (haha) but a bargain one nevertheless.

So first of all I bought these two cute little plain t-shirts.

The grey one is a ilovemycroptop collection and the teal is just a stretchy top.

The grey one was on sale at £2

and the teal one was £3.50 :)

I just needed these as I had nothing to coordinate with my crazy hair colours and I was fed up of having clashing colours all the time.. so neutral colours for me! :)

Fluffy Rose Jumper - £7

Next I bought this jumper, it was in the sale section, again I was circling that area like a hawk.

I was after one of these jumpers after I bought a green cardigan which is similar material and it's SO warm. 

I instantly saw this on sale and I was like *yank*

Its super cosy and fluffy, not itchy at all I can't wait to wear it.

*sooo fluffy* 

Grey Knit Cardigan - £5

Yes.. this was a fiver. I literally could not contain my excitement when I discovered this beauty.

Its so warm, so cosy and its really soft, its not an itchy knit at all.Why this was a fiver I have no idea, but it was a complete bargain. This is probably my favourite item I bought. It's just a chilling super baggy cardigan that you can chuck over anything. Again it's neutral grey so will match whatever hair I have at the time.

Love it.

.. and here's me wearing it. super baggy, super comfy and super cute.

Pinafore cord dress - £12

This dress I am actually contemplating taking back. It was really hard to photograph by the way so apologies. But I just don't think the fit warrants the £12. I usually like quite figure hugging items due to my chest but it just sits kinda weirdly around my waist.. I want to take this back, but I can't find the receipt, I don't think the lady gave me one so now I'm sad. :(

So this was my mini primark haul, I know it's not very big but on student budgets I can only afford to treat myself every once in a while ;)

Thanks for reading, Hope you enjoyed it.
