I know gold is not enough

(Also new: Hat - eBay // Crop top - eBay // oooh and a fringe!)

Hello my lovlies, sorry for the absence, I was really ill for a while, and i've had to go back to school after my exams (boooooo!) which sucks, so i've been out of action for a while, just sleeping, going to school, seeing friends and working. I cannot wait to finish for the summer! So lately i've just been buying or re-purchasing certain things I liked so I thought i'd do a quick post, sort of a 'mini haul' type thing, just to show you some things! 

1. Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelain

This is just a repurchase as this is my staple foundation at the moment. Its the best drugstore brand foundation I have ever tried, and its not too expensive, I think its around 6/7 pounds? Anyway, yeah I just think it works really well for my skin colour as its the lightest one i've found in drugstore brands, a lot of others tend to make me look very orange coloured. But this works really well and this is my 3rd bottle!

2. Aussie Take The Heat

Again, this is a re-purchase, I really like this product, and it smells really good, as do all the Aussie products. But this product is great because it really does protect you hair from heat styling. Yeah there isn't much to say about it really, its just a good product!

3. Vosene Silver Care Shampoo

This is a new thing i'm trying out and my mum actually bought this for me because i'm trying to get my hair to go blonder/lighter. So far I like this and can see a difference, but havent used it loads so can't really comment on this a huge amount! 

4. Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

Another re-purchase (told you this was mostly re-purchases) but this is my staple concealer and I love this stuff. I used to use the famous Collection 2000 concealer stick, but it started to get to the point where it looked to cakey, or maybe I just got really bored? I dont know, but i remember buying this a while ago and loving it, but not repurchasing at the time because it is about 10 pounds, which is rather steep for a drugstore concealer, but I think it is every bit worth the money. I use the lighter more yellow toned shade for my under eyes and the pinky toned shade to cover blemishes. It really works for me and it also has a setting powder with it that works great too! So yeah, two thumbs up for this product!

5. Moroccan Argan Oil

Last thing that is a re-purchase is this Moroccan Argan Oil. Lately i've been really into getting my hair healthy and feeling nice and soft etc, so I have been using this a lot recently, so i had to buy a new one!

6. L'oreal Elvive Styliste Mousse

This is a new thing i'm trying out, just because I used to have a styling mousse (not sure of the brand) a while ago that I liked, so my mum bought me this and so far I like it. I've found with hair mousse in the past when I put it in it stays in my hair and goes a horrible texture but this gives your hair volume, and makes it feel pretty soft, even when put on dry hair. Again, I haven't had this for long, but my first impression of it is that its pretty good!

7. Top and Hat both from eBay

I understand I haven't taken a very good photograph of the top, but its pretty much just like the turtle necked crop tops from places such as Topshop and American Apparel etc, but this one is from eBay for a fraction of the price! The one i'm wearing is a wine colour and I also got a plain black one. I think they are really great basic pieces. But I was really excited to receive this hat! I paid about 5 pounds for it and it was just the shape I wanted, and I am so excited to wear it when the sun makes an appearance again! The lipstick i'm wearing in the photograph is Plum by Revlon. 

8. Fringe is BACK baby! 

If any of you followed my old blog, you'll know that I got a fringe cut in a while ago and ended up not liking it at all. This was because the hairdresser made it really thin, and shaped it a lot around my face which I wasn't keen on, so i went back there and told the hairdresser exactly what I wanted (thicker fringe, not much shape around the face etc.) and I am so happy with it! My next step for my hair after the summer is a white blonde colour and a shorter alexa chung style cut, but I have to get my hair in better condition before I can do that!  

Anyway, hope you liked this post, i'll be back soon with another. Hopefully another outfit post soon, but I don't really have anywhere to take them at the moment, so i'll work on it! Also hoping to start doing some video's now i've found a fairly decent camera to do some filming on so stay tuned for that!

Bondax - Gold (Snakehips remix)

I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore.

Hello lovely people, welcome to my first real post of my new blog! Hope you guys enjoy it, I thought I'd do a haul, as I have bought a few new items lately. I went in to town to have a catch up with an old friend and we ended up just going shopping and buying new things! But surprisingly I didn't actually pay that much for all the new stuff I bought, (I did also buy a Topshop mesh crop top in town but it didn't photograph great, and a dress and a new jumper online) although too be honest I did buy quite a lot of stuff from Primark. Its actually so unlike me, I haven't been into Primark in AGES but my friend wanted to have a look for some jewellery and I found some real gems among the huge gold hoops and the rhinestone t-shirts. Anyway without further ado, information about my items!

001 // Topshop Rings

The first place we went had to be Topshop, I dont think any British girl can go shopping on the British high street and not go in topshop! Anyway, I found these lovely rings, and as a lover of silver rings and gemstones in rings, I had to get them. I am terrible at remembering prices but I think these were around 8 pounds? I'm unsure, but I do think thats pretty good for 3 rings in a set, and they are lovely. 

002 // Primark Hasma Hand Necklace

I told you I found some gems, I really love this I think its great! It looks really good quality and is a perfect length and looks really good with lots of different t-shirts and shirts. I think this was only 2 pounds, which is amazing for a necklace this lovely I think!

003 // Primark Stone Ring

Again, I think this is absolutely lovely, it is a bit large and I do like my rings smaller, but for £1.50 I could not leave this behind! I looks like something that Topshop may charge 4 pounds for so I thought I may as well buy it! It also fits in pretty well with my other rings I bought!

004 // Primark Two Pack of Belts

Nothing much to say about these really, except from I just needed some new belts and these were pretty nice and cheap!

005 // Primark Purse

Okay, anyone who is good friends with me, or has been shopping with me, knows I used to have the most horrendous purse ever. Its one my mum used to have and she just gave it to me. But its horrible. So after my friend in town telling me multiple times that I need to get a new purse, I decided to get one. But I am seriously not the type of girl to spend 20 pounds on a purse, because I just personally can't justify it. So this 5 pound one from Primark will do nicely!

006 // Natural Collection Blush in Peach Melba

After running out of my favourite blusher (Coralista by Benefit) I was a bit lost without it, so I needed a cheap filler, and I love natural collection, I have one of their red lipsticks which actually has a really good wearability! I think if your running low on cash they are a really good cheap alternative make-up brand!

007 // Supercat Soap and Glory Liquid Liner

I love Soap and Glory, but I don't have many of their products and quite frankly I don't know why! The products I have tried are such good quality and I cannot wait to go back to boots and purchase one of the scrubs, because it smelt absolutely amazing, I'll probably never use it, just smell it! Anyway, I'm difficult with liquid liners, I have tried every drugstore liquid liner there is, and i mean every single one. You name it, i've tried it. But I think I may have found my new favourite. Its like a pen that you just draw on your desired look and it dries in 2 seconds, which is a big thing with me and liners. I love it, I even slipped in a photo of how it looks, it comes out very black as well, which I love.

008 // Olive T-shirt

I think i'm slightly lucky to live in Cheltenham because we have the Olive store! Its lovely, so pretty and well thought out! Anyway, I picked up this basic t-shirt with long sleeves, its a really lovely fit and it was only 10 pounds. I always make an effort to go in and check out Olive for some nice stuff when i'm in town because it really is lovely in there.

009 // Primark Disco Pant Dupes

Okay, so forever I have wanted a pair of the American Apparel Disco Pants, as most bloggers do! But I have never really got around to buying them really. But I tried on these dupes the other day and they are literally identical to the american apparel ones. The american apparel ones are obviously better quality, but they still flatter me exactly the same, and for 16 pounds, i'm happier than paying 70 pounds! 

Anyway, sorry for the word heavy post, but I hope you liked my first post, and I will keep coming back with more posts! Thankyou to people who have followed or commented or had a look and liked my new blog its really exciting to have started a new blog and I'm enjoying it a lot already! Be back with more posts soon!
