Haul: Fashion & Beauty Buys!

Firstly I need to appologize for however long this has taken my to post! But recently I've been extremely busy! I know it's no excuse but I have... Really! I have not only started college in makeup and manicures but also work twice a week so it's quite hectic and I have a lot of homework! Anyway, enough of my blabbering on, let's get started!

First are some purchases from Primark! I've wanted a Parka coat for ages and when I went into Primark today I was pleasently suprised by the amount of winter jackets and coats they had stocked in! And yes I headed straight to this gorgeous Parka! It's a lovley khaki green colour with a brown fluffy bit around the good and is lined with a black (or very dark navy) fleece material inside the hood. I loved the detailing on the pockets and really just fell inlove with this coat! It was a bit pricey for Primark I must say at £25 but that really isn't bad for a winter coat!

Let's face it, when going to Primark you can't leave without a pack of socks... Well maybe that's just me! I saw this cute set and instantly picked them up. I think they would look really cool with some boots and it kind of reminds of he tartan theme that's in! And even better when I got to the till found out that they were just £1! (They include Red checkered, white checkered, red leopard print, white crosses and a pair of red with giant hearts on although they were not shown in this picture as I'd already worn them!)

The final thing from Primark is this pair of cute brogues I saw several months ago and fell inlove with them then! I believe they were around the £12 mark, which is pretty good, and then I saw them again the other day for just £4! I grabbed a pair and then got to the till to find out that they were just £3! BARGAIN! I loved the cute detailing on them and think they will look really pretty with skater dresses and tights or frilly socks!

Next from Forever21 is a lovley skater dress I think will look lovley with chunky knit cardigans and tights in the autumn and winter. At £12 this dress is really affordable and looks so flattering on. I wish I'd got it a size down now, as it is slightly loose around the stomach area but never mind, it still looks cute!

The last three things are all beauty products! 

As you may or may not know Collection (or as it used to be called collection 2000) recently paired up with the girlband Little Mix to create a makeup line. Each of the girls got a few items each to create their signature looks. I only picked up one item from the collection which really caught my eye which is Perrie's lipstick. I got this because it's really pretty, and I don't have anything like it, also because she's really pale and I am too so I thought it would suit my skint tone. It's a beautiful purpaly colour which isn't too in your face but still a really nice fall colour. These retail at just £2.99 each.

Next is a product from the brand 'Too Faced'. This is a brand that is well known for its great products but also doesn't have a drugstore price tag. Each eye shadow retails for £15 in boots... But I wasn't going to pay that... It just so happens that I found the clearance section... Where two eyeshadows say on their own on the bottom shelf hidden from everyone else! I paid just £2.50 for my teal pearly eyeshadow which is called Cop A Tea!

The final thing I bought was from bargain central... Poundland! It's a Rimmel highlighter in the shade Shimmering Sand which retails in Boots at the moment for £4.99! Bargain!

That's all for now... Even though I feel like I've bought a lot more, I just can't remember where I've put it all! I'll soon be posting a whats in my college kit box, but I'll have to wait for everything to arrive until then!

Bargain Beauty Buys!

I made a quick trip into Poundland earlier today and decided to have a quick look in the beauty section as never fail to find a little bargain in there! It was stashed with lots of great products I was so suprised! Rimmel lipglosses and highlighters, Sinful Colors nail polishes (normally £1.99), packs of 3 Collection 2000 nail polishes and so much more! However I decided to just pick up the three items that I wanted most!

First I picked up an OPI shatter nail polish... YES! OPI in the poundshop! It's a beautiful deep shimmering purple colour, called Super Bass, from the Nicki Minaj collection! I was so surprised! This is a really beautiful polish and although I haven't tried it yet Ive seen images of it over the top if a teal blue colour and it looks so nice! Even if I really hate it, I can give it to someone and have them think its worth more than it really is :') 

Next I got a crème eyeshadow by Calvin Klein! It's again a purpley colour with a slight grey tone to it and shimmer. I think it's super pretty and it's really pigment, I'm not sure if it will crease once it's applied or not but I have some similar coloured eye shadows I could use to set it with.

And finally I purchased a Rimmel mono eye shadow in 200 Spicy Bronze, which I know for a fact they are still selling in Boots for £5.49! Bargain! It's a beautiful coppery brown shade with a slight shimmer but I think it will look amazing in the crease. I may try to depot this in the near future though as single eye shadows tend to get on my nerves! I prefer palettes personally! The pigmentation of the eyeshadow is outstanding though and for a pound you can't go wrong!

Shades of Autumn/Winter

Hello Girlies,

I'm a sucker for a great lip colour! The brighter, the better! Here are some of my personal favourites for the coming seasons.

RIMMEL LONDON KATE MOSS LASTING FINNISH - 107 MATTE

This is a beautiful lipstick not only because its long lasting but also the colour is the most popular from the collection, and is one of Zoe Sugg's (Zoella280390) favourite lip colours to wear. The shade is a deep red with a some purple tones to it. Although the lipstick is a matte its not drying and has quite a nice creamy consistency. This is one of them Lipsticks you kind of have to be brave to wear! It's abold  colour, however I think so many people are wearing these shades in recent years its more socially acceptable to be seen with such a bright colour! And it's only £5.49!

MAC AMPLIFIED - VEGAS VOLT 

Seeing this shade really makes me think of autumn! I think it's the orangey tone to it makes me think of walking through Greenwich park as a child with all of the golden leaves on the floor! Anyway enough of reminiscing! I love this lipstick to pieces! I think it's a classy colour which can look sophisticated day or night. As a coral lipstick most people would probably put it into the summer category but I think this can most definitely be pulled off. This is more expensive at £15 but totally worth it.

NEW YORK PRO MAKEUP - 254 (GLOSSY LIPSTICK)

This is a pale pink lipstick, but when applied its in more of a gloss formulation. This can be Botha negative and a positive, as you don't need to apply a gloss over the top, however it's not long wearing and will most probably need to be re applied within an hour or two. Most colours during winter and autumn tend to be darker, however I think this lipstick can really work and look pretty, it will also carry you through to spring too, it's a real staple to have. I'm not sure on the price of this, but I believe it's an American brand! Please correct me if I'm wrong! 

MUA POWER POUT COLOUR INTENSE & TINT BALM - BROKEN HEARTED

This is a beautiful berry toned red, perfect for the coming seasons. As its a tint the colour payoff isn't   opaque however it certainty makes your lips the colour intended. I love this balm for a day when you just want something on your lips but not to look to bold. It's a size to carry round, and the chubby stick esk design of it makes it look more expensive than it actually is, as its just £3! BARGAIN!
