AVON C15 Haul

Hola,

So I'm finally blogging about Septembers Avon haul :)

I didn't get as much as I usually do from Avon, But lets get cracking...

You may have seen me tweet about this bag, cos I couldn't contain my excitement about it haha.

Its a Kylee bag , it is a gorgeous faux leather handbag. Its very spacious and I love the chain link straps.- £12.50

 
I got another Christian Lacroix perfume the fragrance is called Nuit (for her EDP 50ml) and it has a very musky full bodied scent (I hope you like my attempts at a description haha) - it came with a free watch which was purple but I gave it to my mum before I took a picture of it (doh!) - £14
Glazewear Sparkle Lip Gloss- Shimmering Amethyst
A gorgeous shimmery pink lip gloss, that is very pigmented. - £2.10
Color Trend Sweet Twist Lip Gloss - Berries and Cream
OMG! This stuff actually smells like candy, every time I smell it I want to eat it. The colour is another pink but its not shimmery and a bit more opaque than than Shimmering amethyst.- £3.50
AVON Supershock eyeliner - Shimmering Sapphire - 
This is a really nice gel liner. Its a little difficult to get on a soft brush that AVON provide you need a stiff-ish brush like the MAC 208. Its not overpowering when you put it on the eye and its very smooth and doesn't come out chunky or clumpy. - £2.80
Swatches of the lip glosses and gel liner. Bottom to top: Shimmering Amethyst, Berries and Cream and Shimmering Sapphire.
AVON SuperShock mascara - Black
This really lengthens my lashes and I love it. Only problem is that my lashes become a bit like "spider lashes" so when I apply I use a clean mascara wand and run through my lashes :) - £3.50
All Over Face Brush
This brush is so frickin soft. I use it to apply my face powder.- £3.50
Perfect Wear Make up Remover
This is an oil based make up remover. Its like the Clinique take the day off makeup remover for lids, lashes & lips, but a WHOLE lot cheaper.I got it on a deal for an INCREDIBLE - £1
Pencil Sharpener - pretty self explanatory haha
£1


Hope you all enjoyed this post :)

Long time no post

Hello my love bugs,

Right its been ages since I have blogged. But I have 2 very good reasons as to why haha. Firstly those of you who follow me on twitter would know that I've was in Egypt, so a week or so before I busy getting things ready packing etc. And then obviously I went on holiday lol.

The second reason is while I was away I caught a really bad stomach bug that brought along some other health issues with it that I'm not gonna go into. I'm only really starting to feel better now and its been like 10 days since it started.

So I have a things to post Avon stuff, frontcover stuff and also pics from my hols.My nail haul will have to take a hiatus cos I did mention on twitter that while waiting for the Gatwick flyer to turn up I broke off all my nails (out of  boredom)

Egypt is amazing (stomach bug and all haha), I suggest if anyone wants to go on holiday Egypt is defo the place to go :)

Also NEVER EVER fly with Easy Jet, they are the WORST people I have ever flown with (I flew with them when I went to Budapest as well). They maybe cheap but they certainly aren't cheerful. They're staff are so condescending and un-helpful. And the organisation of their speedy boarding was an utter joke, that was £115 down the drain.

Anywho, yeah so I shall be putting up some posts very soon so keep a look out.

Budapest Haul

Hello dolls,

So now that I have shown the sights from my holiday lets look at some stuff I got :)


I got this bag from the hotel gift shop, I just wanted a little tote bag :)

OK so this jewellery was not brought on my holiday, it was brought for my holiday and I wore all this jewellery on the trip. The necklaces were from Debenhams and the earrings were from Evans.

LUSH

So I went to Lush and was so excited. The people in there were so nice and helpful :)



I got WHOOSH shower jelly :) this stuff smells AH-MAZING, very citrusy and sweet.


Lip Scrub in Bubblegum


And a soap that I wanted for AGES was Honey I washed the kids - this is AMAZING!!!!!!!! It smell so good and is so so moisturising.

So while we were waiting to board I went into HMV who were having a sale :) and got a few DVD's
  • Shark Tale
  • Fast and Furious
  • Anchorman (Which I had never seen and DO NOT find funny WHAT SO EVER, it was that bad I fell asleep, I was not impressed with this movie AT ALL!)
I went to a store called New Yorker, it kind of reminded me of New Look. I went crazy in the accessories department. :) I would find one or two items pay and then find something else haha. I went to the till like 3 times hahaha.




We then went into H&M and I got a scarf and a pair of silver hoops :)


Me modelling the scarf hahaha :) (with no make up)


Hope you enjoyed, I didn't go cray cray with the shopping cos the stuff I kept looking at was really expensive so I didn't bother haha. But a lot of my money went on Gifts and souvenirs :)

Budapest Holiday

Hello my loves,

OK so I was flicking through my digital camera the other day and realised that I had not uploaded my haul or any pics from my holiday to Budapest in MAY! I know bloody hell haha. So I thought I would share the stuff I bought from Duty free and Budapest and some pics from the holiday and things we did. So lets start with the sights.

Vaci Ut is where we stayed at an Ibis hotel (I'm not even gonna go into details of how much I disliked where we stayed. I just know I wouldn't go there again. But whatever...on with the show haha. And TV in Hungarian isn't that fun lol.

So below is pictures taken from a boat ride we went on, it was fun. We had these headsets to listen to throughout. They have some beautiful buildings over there. I don't remember the name of the buildings but I just thought they were so pretty :) (not knowing the names of things is going to be a recurring theme through this post haha)








 This was a gorgeous building/fountain.

The main part of our trip was to visit the Duna film studios (I don't remember the exact name lol) We went on a complete tour of the place, sets, sets in the building process and just pretty much every inch of the place. So the main two things we saw when we visited was a partial set of Hellboy 2 and the TV series  The Borgias. I didn't even know parts of Hellboy 2 were filmed in Hungary until I stepped on the set lol but it was so cool to be on the set of such a massive film. I also got really excited when I saw the first advert for The Borgias for Sky Atlantic I was like to everyone "OMG  I was on that set ahhhhh!"

HELLBOY 2 set







The Borgias set



Széchenyi Spa

This spa was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I couldn't believe it, if you ever go to Budapest I suggest you go here it was AMAZING! The outside was lovely but the decor inside was just beautiful. Except for the weird fountain that had water coming out of the kids private area (we were all quite disturbed by that) :/ Word of warning if they offer you a water that is supposed to be really cleansing, dont take it, it smells like sulphur and rotten eggs and a few of my friends that tried it threw up and wretched a little haha, I left the picture out cos it had too many faces in it and I havent had permission from the girls and my tutors to put it up. But just take my word for it and dont drink it haha, unless you like the taste of eggs and sulphur :/


















So a main part of my tip was shopping haha, we used to take the metro to get to the main shopping area. Their metro kinda reminded me of the American trains or subway lol. But it was a bit confusing especially with it all being in Hungarian (duh lol) So while we were looking around the shops this window caught my eye and I just had to take a pic. I dunno why but I thought of Alice in Wonderland when I saw this. And this may sound weird but I thought the bunny looked, I wann say pretty? lol



And this street performer, she was so nice :)

And after being all tired out from shopping we went into TGI Fridays. The food and atmosphere was good, until I found a piece of glass in my drink, and they didn't even comp my meal (which they really should have)


Hope you enjoyed getting a little look of at what I got up to on my travels.

I think I will be doing a post like this of my holiday to Egypt in October (17 days ahhhh so excited)
