FASHION | Forever 21 Jewellery Haul

Hey guys and dolls,

I've never shopped in Forever 21, I have frequented the store often, as my best friend LOVES IT! The reason I've never shopped there is purely because they don't cater tom size, which is unfortunately because I do like some of their clothes and shoes. So on a girls day out at Westfield she dragged me in there because they had a 50% off sale with a further 50% reduction.

FASHION: Wishlist #1

Hey guys and dolls,

1. Black Woven Cross Body Bag (River Island) - £18

2. Black Quilted Chain Strap Bag (River Island) - £28

3. Blue Figure of 8 maxi dress (Evans) - £45

4. Ella Black Embellished Toe Post Sandal (Evans)- £29.50

5. Filigree Leaf Drop Earrings (Forever 21) - £2

Fashion Friday: SKULLS SKULLS SKULLS!!!

Hey guys and dolls,

Happy Good Friday everybody. Only 2 days until lent is over...yippee *does happy dance*. If you don't celebrate that holiday, then simply...TGIF!!! 4 DAY WEEKEND!

I've never really shopped at Claire's before, but upon visiting realised they had some pretty cool things to offer. Also whenever I'm on a shopping trip with the bestie I get dragged to almost every shop possible. Fortunately that day Claire's had a £1 sale and BOGOF in store.

Fashion Friday: Rings

Hey guys and dolls,

I think I've mentioned this before but I've really started to get into accessories. I've always been into clothes and shoes, but accessories kind of ended up on the back burner. So when I go out now I spend a lot more time perusing the jewellery sections.

Accessories haul - Primark & New Look

Hey dolls,

 

I went out for the day with my bestie Kim to good old Westfield shopping centre. I was only intending on having  a girly lunch, but you know what us women are like when we go out lol.

I was having a peruse round the shops, but I was good and only spent a little on a few accessories.

I was never really into accessorising, but in the last few months I've found my flare for accessories (does that make sense?!) haha

PRIMARK

 Silver ear cuffs (pack of 2) - £1.50

I'd never been into ear cuffs before but since buying these I've become a big fan.

Peace hoops - £2

Been looking for a pair of hoops for ages and these caught my eye instantly.

Gold hoops - £1

Silver diamante drop earrings - £1.50

Gunmetal cross earrings - £1

NEW LOOK

Got my new look goodies in the sale :)

Black scarf with a white dollar print

£2

Black patent cross earrings

£1.50

Primark studded clutch

Hey dolls,

Funny story, you see how I've mentioned in the past how I take pics of items for my blog and then forget to post about them. Well yeah I've done it again *hangs head*. Flicking through my albums I came across this clutch that I bought near the beginning of the year...I know its ridiculous.

So I thought let me put this up a as a bonus post for today.

 

Faux leather clutch with rose gold studs

 £4

This clutch is so spacious. I can carry all the necessities around with me and they not bulk out the clutch too much so that it looks mishapen.

For when you don't wanna hold up your clutch it has a little wrist strap, with the rose gold studs.

"A leopard never changes it's spots..."

Hey dolls,

So there was a slight theme to my last Avon purchase....can you guess what it is? lol 

Instinct For Her EDP 50ml

£15

 I wasn't looking to buy a new perfume, but when I saw what you got when you purchased it I had to get it. 

When you ordered the perfume you got :

Body spray

Body lotion

Zoey necklace

Zoey necklace

This necklace is GORGEOUS! And the main reason for the purchase of the perfume.

 Finley Scarf

£7

You may have noticed that I've become a little obsessed with scarves lately. So here is another one to add to the collection.

Little Black Dress perfume

£9

(Body spray came free)

This is a repurchase and one of my fave perfumes from Avon, its described as a timeless, classic combination of sweet fruits, fragranced flowers and rich woods. It's a great everyday scent.

LATE July Favourites

Hey dolls,

I think this is my first ever favourites post, I randomly felt like doing one. So here goes nothing.

I've only got a few items to show. but hopefully you see something that tickles your fancy and may go out and try. I will post a link to the original post of each item where applicable. Might give you the opportunity to see posts of mine that you've missed :)

 Christian Lacroix Rouge EDP - £11.99

I've been wearing this perfume a lot recently. It's great for the daytime and evening.

Argan oil - £5.99

I jumped on the Argan oil train last year and haven't gotten off. This stuff is so good for your hair.

Garnier Moisture Match -Goodbye Dry 50ml

£5.99

This is such a good facial moisturiser and I luckily haven't had any bad reactions to it. Like I tend to with quite a few moisturisers cos I have really sensitive skin.

 Finella bag - £9.99

I haven't spoken about this handbag on my blog yet. Its a new purchase from Avon and I LOVE IT! Its the perfect sized handbag and I've been wanting a tan bag for a while now. Unfortunately I got this bag in the clearance sale so its not available anymore.

Sleek Au Naturel palette - £6.49

This has been my go to palette for make up. I've been using it to create a daytime smokey eye with a bold red lip.

Ladies Shaded Scarf - £3
Another purchase that I haven't mentioned on my blog, I got this the same time as the Finella bag I mentioned. I have been a bit obsessed with scarves recently, I did a post on that here.

Barry M Gelly hi shine nail paints - £3.99

I have been obsessed with these polishes as of late. And 9 out of 10 times I've chosen one of these polishes to paint my nails with in the last month or so.

Tibu earring and necklace set - £3.50

I'm not sure if this set is still available, but I've been wearing this set every time I've gone somewhere. Its just so cute and I feel all sorts of sophisticated when I wear them. They dress up any outfit.

Rimmel apocalips lip lacquer in Big Bang - £6

I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I havent worn anything else on my lips for ages. Its like the perfect red. Its not matte but its not shiny either, its that happy medium.

Avon spectra lash - £10

My go to mascara, it makes my lashes so long and full. I have so many mascaras that I had forgotten about this one. But on a whim I picked it up and remembered just why I'd bought it. Such a good purchase. I never reviewed this product when I got it, so I will do a mini one now.

"Three lash looks in one tube. Twist up to customise you level of volume. Clump-proof and flake-proof" 

I always use it on the 3rd setting cos I'm all about the full lashes. But I love the fact that you have the 3 different settings to suit any mood/look you're going for. On the 3rd setting a lot of mascara can come out on the wand, I usually just scrape it off and carry on with my application.

Scarves! Scarves! Scarves!

Hey dolls,

I have been loving scarves at the moment. For fashion and hair accessory purposes. As it's summer right now and I ain't about having my hair down, I've been using the top 2 as hair ties and all 3 as fashion accessories to spruce up an outfit.

All of these scarves are from my beloved Avon.

Top to Bottom:

Abbie Scarf - £3.99

(woven scarf with pink, blue and grey floral print). The floral print kinda has a Japanese vibe to me.

Kaitlin scarf - £3.99

 A red scarf with white butterfly and heart print.

Paisley Scarf - £6

Rose pink scarf with a paisley print.

"I'm a little teapot short and stout"

Hey dolls,

I LOVE THIS NECKLACE. ITS SO FRICKIN CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw this in the Avon catalogue and I had to have it.I love quirky, funky and different jewellery. I've had a few out of the ordinary (for me) pieces from Avon, like my bird in a cage and my robin's egg with the bird inside. I clearly like necklaces with a surprise in the middle haha.

Avon C12

Hey dolls,

Just a little haul from Avon, this one turned up a little earlier than expected due to an error with my order online, which I am not complaining about cos its here over a week early :) *does happy dance*

 So here is what I got...

 Dramatic Beauty Bonus - 

Free (worth £20) when you bought 2 or more selected items. I got this mainly for the cosmetics bag, yes I know another one to add to the collection.

In the set you get:

• ANEW Genics Treatment Concentrate trial size (which I wont be using)
• Black and purple cosmetics bag
• Nailwear pro+ in Plum Seduction
• Ultra Colour Rich lipstick shimmer in Frozen Rose

 Ultra Colour Rich lipstick shimmer in Frozen Rose 

 A nice nude pink (but not too nude). I can actually wear this and it look good.

 Nailwear pro+ in Plum Seduction

 I have so many purple polishes, but none of them are the same, they all differ and I'm glad this one does the same. This was opaque after 2 coats and I'm really happy with it :)

 Shine Attract Lip Gel - Shining Cherry

It says that these are supposed to improve lip moisture. I will update you on that once I've used it properly. I'm sure this will become a favourite of mine as I really liked the shine attract lipsticks.

Avon Haul C6

Hi dolls,

So its that time again...its Avon haul time :)

Trying to take the pictures for this blog post was an epic fail. I did my best but I am in need of a new camera.

Nail Experts Strong Results - £1.50
I bought this to see if it could help me on my journey to grow my nails and keep them strong and healthy. I haven't had it long enough to say if it works, but like I said in my previous NOTD post I will be doing a nail growth journey update. You use this just like you would a normal nail polish. Every time I change my nail colour this goes on before any polish.

Nail Experts Grow Potion - £2.50
This was bought in conjunction with the Strong results to help my nails grow,  it comes with a doe foot applicator and you rub this on the nails and cuticle area and massage it in. Once I have used it for long enough I will say if it works or not. It will most likely be talked about in my nail growth journey. I put this on before the Strong results, let it soak in and then apply the strong results and the polishes Im using on that occasion.

Moisture seduction lip gloss - Pearly Pink - £3.50
This was a re-purchase, because I LOVE this lip gloss, its so pigmented and bright..It doesn't dry out my lips. I wanted to get this before it went up to full price (£7).

Ultra Rich Colordisiac lipstick - Rose addiction - £1.50

This lipstick is lovely and I absolutely love the packaging :) I got this so I could have a nice not so intense lipstick for the day  time. Most of my lipstick fall under the same colour umbrella deep reds, wine, berry etc (as you will see from the lipstick below) so this will be a nice somewhat natural colour for the day.

Kiss 'n' go lipstick - Terracotta - £1

Rich, creamy and moisturising lipstick that is in my comfort zone of colours. I have quite a few color trend lipsticks and if you've seen previous posts they are quite similar in colour, but hey ho when you find something you like you kinda stick with it, like when you see girls that love nude lipsticks. Its just what I like, especially with my skin tone, these colours work very well.

SuperShock gel liner pencil - £3

Again another re-purchase. I love this eyeliner and it was going at half price so I thought what the hell, I might as well get it now and have a back up for when the one I'm using  runs out, which will be soon as I use it EVERY time I wear make up.

Swatches: Top to bottom

SuperShock gel liner pencil

Kiss 'n' go lipstick - Terracotta

Ultra Rich Colordisiac lipstick - Rose addiction - its showing up a lot darker in the picture than what it is, it is very much what it says on the tin, a rose colour.

Salerio necklace - £6

When I saw this necklace I was like I HAVE to have this. Its so pretty and right up my street. And I love the fact that you can change the pearls inside.

Interchangeable pearls to match your outfits

Lipsy London clutch bag - £8

A simple black patent leather clutch with...now which animal do I describe this as? haha croc or snake?...I'm gonna go with snake skin effect. This was originally a birthday present for my friend but it wasn't quite to her taste, so I say waste not want not. And I love it, its gonna be something I use on a night out/
