Collective Haul!

There have been some great online sales recently and I still have some boots vouchers so I have done a little bit of splurging this week - but I'm done until Christmas now I swear!

Glamorous Dress
Topshop Metallic Jacket

 I'm iffy on this Glamorous dress to be honest, but it was only £9.99 and I've worn it and taken the tag off so I don't really think I can return it... I don't know, it's just more synthetic material than I like and it clings to my lumps and bumps, eh.

I love my Topshop jacket, though I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to wear it. It's a lot nicer than that picture shows, it's a metallic dusty pink and it fits nicely - I will find a suitable outfit!

Look Beauty Blush - 'Flirt'

I went for this blusher over Sleek's Rose Gold because it's a bigger palette, and it's more coral toned than pink, as most of my blushers are more pink based I fancied a change. It's really pigmented and I'm looking forward to blending it with my bronzer.

NYC - Lights Camera Glitter
Revlon - Scandalous
Maybelline The Falsies Flared
VO5 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir
Lipcote

Little bit of everything here, two nail polishes that I really wanted, the Maybelline mascara I've been meaning to try for ages and then the V05 Moisture Soak which my hair is in dire need of, and Lipcote which I've been searching for!

Anndddddd onto the six lipsticks!!

Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Lipsticks - 107 and 110

 I'm in love with this collection, I want them all, the Matte's especially! I went for 107 which is a dark pinky red, and 110 which is a bright coral - the texture is just gorgeous.

MUA Lipsticks - Shade 10 and 16 (Nectar)

 Then these MUA lipsticks kind of look similar to the Kate Moss ones but Shade 10 is a lot pinker than 110 and Shade 16, Nectar is more muted and pale (though it doesn't look it in the photo)

Sleek Lipsticks - Peaches & Cream and Papaya Punch

These are my first Sleek lipsticks and it's a bit of a hit and a miss. Papaya Punch is gorgeous, the coral colour, the matte finish - amazing. Peaches and Cream however... eh. It doesn't really stay on my lipsticks and I think it's a bit too yellow for my skin tone - I will persist with it!

So there's my haul guys, probably my last one for a while! Let me know what you think, have you tried any of these products or do you want more of a review on them if you're interested in getting them in the future?

If you have any comments or questions leave them below, I'd love to see what you're buying for Uni, College or School, or chat to me on twitter.

New Makeup Wishlist

After I did my high end MAC wishlist, I thought I'd change things up a bit and show my current 'drug store' makeup loves, all the stuff I will hopefully buy in my next few trips to Superdrug or Boots!

1. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Of course everyone is banging on about it and as I'm finding my current MUA concealer slightly drying, I fancy giving this one a go!
2. No. 17 Instant Glow Body Bronzer - I absolutely love No. 17's Instant Fake Tan but I can't seem to find it anymore, so I'll try out their newer one instead.
3. Collection Fix Me Up Spray
4. MUA Pro Brow Kit - This is a new product from MUA and I'm want to try it, but will compare it to the Sleek one in store, and this ones a fiver cheaper.
5. MUA Lipstick in Shade 13
6. MUA Lipstick in Shade 16 Nectar
7. Sleek Lipstick in Peaches and Cream
8. Lipcote
9. Sleek Brow Kit in Dark - Like I said above, when I'm in Superdrug I'll compare it with the MUA kit and see which I prefer.
10. Sleek Blush in Rose Gold - The infamous NARS Orgasm dupe, I must get this soon!
11. Sleek Face Contour Kit
12. Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara - Ingrid (MissGlamorazzi) raves about this mascara and you can never have too many so I'm going to try it.  

Let me know if you have any of these items, and what's on your wishlist!

2. Fur hooded parka - Matalan, £32.00
3. Cosmic print top - New Look, £14.99
4. Jimmy Choo perfume - Cheap Smells, £50.00 for 100ml
5. Black studded boots - River Island, £40.00
6. Pinch Punch by Louise Gray - Topshop, £6.50

Weekly Total - 181.49

It's another very expensive wishlist but there's just so many new gorgeous items around that I couldn't resist. While part of me is disappointed that there will be no more warm summer days, I'm really looking forward to getting back into Autumn clothes!

I'm going on a back to Uni shopping trip next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can find the parka and boots while I'm there because they are necessities for the many rain showers I'll find myself caught in running around Preston.

Let me know if you like anything in my Weekly Wants and share your own! If you have any comments or questions please leave them below or you can chat to me on twitter.

Mini Boots Haul!

Eco-tools Buffing Brush £9.99
Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation £3.99
VO5 Give Me Texture Instant Oomph Powder
 and Tousled Style Spray 2 for £5

I didn't have too much money to spend, but I managed to get a few of the items from my shopping list post. I absolutely fell in love with this Collection 2000 foundation, I can't believe it's on offer for only £3.99!

I've decided that when my MaxFactor runs out I'm moving onto Bourjois Healthy Mix for my heavier coverage foundation. The texture is just so gorgeous and it blended so nicely when I swatched it on my wrist. I also tried the Revlon Colorstay foundation but for £12.49 I don't know if it's worth it, and I don't know if I exactly match either the 2nd or 3rd shade. I'd rather invest in MAC Face and Body that I can get matched to my skin tone and that will last a lot longer, but that won't be for awhile anyway.

I'm excited to have a buffing brush to add to my collection, hopefully it will give more even coverage than just a standard foundation brush, and Eco-Tools are pretty good quality for the price.

Boots had an offer on 2 V05 styling products for £5, so I decided on the Instant Oomph Powder and Tousled Style Spray to work with my naturally wavy hair. I also thought these products would be fun to try out with my new Remington Pearl Pro Styler - a little bit of an impulse buy from an old Fleur DeForce video but as it's half price on Amazon, how could I resist?

I hope you enjoyed my little haul, as always if you have any comments or questions you can leave them below, or chat to me on twitter!

Beauty Shopping List!

I'm going on a mini shopping spree with my Mum on Saturday, yes this is a huge deal because she hates shopping centres with a passion so getting her to come with me is a rare event - I'm bribing her with Nando's!

I'll be calling into Boots and Superdrug to look at some things, so I thought I'd make a list here of all the stuff I want to get but don't want to risk ordering them online.

1. New Foundation

Don't worry, I'm still sticking with my old faithful MaxFactor, but I want to test out a few more and see if they could be possible alternatives when I don't fancy a full matte face. The choices I'm looking at are Maybelline Superstay 24 hour, Bourjois Healthy Mix, Rimmel Wake Me Up and Revlon ColorStay.

2. VO5 Hair Products

I borrowed my lovely best friend Lindsay's VO5 Instant Oomph Powder when my hair just wouldn't behave the other week, and it really worked so I'm going to stock up on some of their products that been raved about, like the Hot Oil Shower treatment or the Tousled Style spray.

3. Collection 2000 treats

I'm in love with my Collection 2000 lipsticks so I'm going to see if there's any other colours I fancy, and my Mum needs a new kohl eyeliner.

4. A Fake Orgasm?!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist! I've heard that Sleek blush in Rose Gold is a pretty good dupe for Nars Orgasm, and seeing as that is so far out of my price range right now, I thought I'd give the cheaper alternative a try!

If I ended up buying anything that's good I'll obviously talk about it on here.

If you've tried any of these products and want to give me your opinion that would be awesome, you can leave a comment below or chat to me on twitter!

Weekly Wants #3

1. Sheer Maxi Skirt - Missguided, £16.99

2. Feather Print Tee - Dorothy Perkins, £22.00

3. Black Cross Necklace - Forever 21, £4.90

4. Models Own Hedonist - Boots, £5.00

5. Leopard Ankle Boot - Dorothy Perkins, £35.00

Weekly Total - £83.89

I've actually budgeted quite well this week, I might end up buying some of this stuff! I definitely want a maxi skirt for Autumn, and I just think the ankle boots are too cute for words and there's 20% off online. I've also wanted Models Own Hedonist for ages but they never seem to have it in stock when I go to Boots - hopefully that will change soon!

Weekly wants!

No girl ever let a lack of money stop her from mental shopping, so I thought that every Friday I would do a 'weekly wants' post where I show all the things that I'm lusting after and wishing I had the money to buy.

Khaki studded jumper - Topshop £42.00

I spotted this while shopping on Sunday and now I'm wishing for Autumn to come now so I can justify buying this jumper. I love the khaki colour, it's just a shame it's so expensive as Topshop always is - I'll be looking out for a similar more affordable version soon!

Studded ankle boots - Office £80.00

I found these on Sunday too - just another example of my obsession with studs! They are a definite dupe of the Chloe boots and I may just have these on my birthday list!

Sleeveless checked shirt - Missguided £22.99

Checked shirts never really seem to go out of style, and I have quite a few, but for some reason I just really like this sleeveless shirt from Missguided, it's just something a little different.

Benefit Porefessional - Boots £23.50

This has been one of the most talked about beauty products on blogs and youtube and I only just recently started to believe the hype. I got a free sample size in Glamour, thanks to my Mum picking it up for me and I will definitely be purchasing the full size version with the help of my Boots points ;)

Leather look skater skirt - Ark £22.99

Now this is a skirt that I have been lusting over for ages, but it's something I don't want to buy before I try on. When I'm next in Sheffield near the Ark store I might not be able to resist...

Weekly shopping total - £191.48

Hmm... some how I don't think I can budget all this in! If I had to pick one thing, it would be the Ark skater skirt because I've wanted it for so long (and because they have a 15% discount on all Hearts & Bows clothing til next month!!)
