HAULIN' 8

Thought I'd show you a most recent photo of myself. I look 'OK' considering I had an all night bender the day before (celebrated F.A.D being over)

 ZARA- £4.99

I really like the illustrations and the mid length sleeve detail

FRENCH ELLE- 20P (ALL MONEY GOES TO CHARITY)

I've picked up a few issues awhile ago and then whilst passing my colleges library recently they had even more back issues (30+) for sale. So like the massive hoarder that I am, I spent a good while picking out which issues to get (good make-up/fashion articles or editorials).

BETHMADETHIS

Beth is actually one of my tutors but I wasn't aware she made jewelry until I stumbled onto her site. I'm still on my hand made crafting kick and when I saw that she made hand stamped inscription rings for £40.00, I thought it was pretty reasonable and unlike costume jewelry a worthwhile investment. You can decide on what word/s you want on the ring. I decided on having the word 'ring' on my ring (I still find it amusing).

I've been wearing my ring non-stop and I'm considering getting a few more. And I believe they are sterling silver and hand made from scratch too.

M.A.C- Rocker Chick “Look in a Box”- £30.50 (airport exclusive)

I asked my mum to get me this as it's such a good deal! I'll replicate the look above using the products soon. To see/read what products are inside click here.

THE KILLS- 31ST OF MAY AT LEEDS MET

I think this is the most impulsive buy I've ever made lol. I was checking out their page on Facebook and I saw that they were going to be playing in Leeds.... further investigation showed there were still tickets left. BAM. I have two tickets! I'm going with Elly Steer and I'm really excited. Still a gig newbie, this will be my second one ever!

HAULIN' 3

GOSH- 549 HOLOGRAPHIC, excuse the chips!

H&M- £3.99, I love the mesh/netting transparency detailing- reminds me of Christopher Kane....

Sleek make-up- £5.99, its the Circus palette. Limited edition BTW so get your mitts on it while you can!!

Ardell lashes- £2.99 (TK MAXX only!!!), Lucky find or what?! As these usually retail at the £5 mark! They had a ton of different styles and these are no doubt the best lashes you can get on the high street (these are made from human hair so Shu Uemura/ M.A.C quality- not the rubbish plastic kind!!!). PS. how expensive are lashes getting?! Total rip off!!!!

Converse- £24.99 (TK MAXX), my mum HATES me wearing trainers as she wants me to dress more "girly" which I agree (sort-of) as I do sometimes dress like a 12 year old boy but sometimes ballet shoes and boots don't cut it!

NARS sheer glow foundation (Ceylan)- £29.00, I won't be using it till I finish my sheer matte. I know its pricey but its a really nice foundation!! She chucked in a face and eye primer sample too :)

Zara- £14.99 (sale), I know it looks quite boring in the photo but its full of beautiful decorations techniques especially the sleeves. I know I rave about Zara a lot but they always make really good quality garments (most) that are quite 'classic' in design but always with an edge.

Hope you liked my haul. I've actually been buying a lot recently but I've just not been updating my blog with haul posts, as I wanted to test them out first ( I'm no hoarder *coff* but it takes me awhile before I reach for new things). Anyway I will be posting my monthly favourites soon so you can see what new products- or old things I've been liking!

HAULIN' 2

Note I had this make-up on for a good 8 hours! For once the weather was actually nice so had the opportunity to dig out my sun-glasses- yay! However I 'HATE' sunny weather, it makes my oh-so-annoying oily skin, well more annoying. ATM not sure if the benefits of a wrinkle free forehead and nose will be worth the wait.

Anyway I decided to do a thick winged out eyeliner today and the lady at M.A.C was like "ohhh, did you do it yourself?" Which is always nice :D Random tangent but how old do I look? I'm not bothered about aging but I hate how I just have this 'mature' not 18 face'!!!

Zara- £9.99, so pricey for me (and TOTALLY not worth the price tag) but I just love the print of cats!! DAMN you Miu Miu!!!!

Models Own- Lilac Dream £5

Rimmel London 60 seconds- 825 Sky High £4?!

Back-to-M.A.C! I know I have quite a few lipsticks but I wanted a 'everyday' wearable shade that made my lips look natural-but-better! So I picked Fanfare lipstick which is a cremesheen formula and is described by M.A.C as a mid-tone yellow pink.

Bad bad bad L.F. Models Own- Champagne £5 and the nail thingy-ma-bob came free (usually £3). Utter impulse buy!

Ardell Fashion Lashes- 117 £5, these are for my prom btw!

I LOVE Ardell lashes and I'm so glad the UK now stock them. They are as you can see 100% human hair, which means they not only super-lightweight and easy to put on they blend really naturally unlike the typical plastic kind.

They come in a huge range of designs (Boots anyway) and I chose these babies instead of the infamous demi-wispies ( which I do love too) as I wanted something different. I know the lashes are dramatic but I think you can tell I don't mind experimenting. For those who like more 'classic' tame lashes they stock more subtle designs too :)

Topshop- £3 (sale). I would NEVER pay the usual £12, pffft. Thinking of wearing this with white shirt, hair up with strong lips? Pretty sad that I'm planning a look for a non-existent event isn't it?

Hello guys!!! I am back with a teeny haul! Since my sister came back from uni' I haven't had time for 'sister time' with my exams and all and after my exams were over, times started clashing but today we finally had time to SHOP!

I did more of the shopping as usual and as usual I persuaded my sister to buy unnecessary items (hehehe, I so should be a sales women)! C.F being lovely also treated me to Wagamama's (never knew there was one in Leeds)! Which was nice and.....expensive! 'Fit' waiter though.......

Talk soon!

TRAFFORD CENTRE

Models own- £5

Nail polishes- Coral Reef and Lilac Dream

Neon lip and face paint- Neon Pink

I'm on a nail-polish kick!! 3 for 2 so I don't feel as bad. Not sure what I'm going to do with the neon face paint yet...

GOSH nail lacquers- £5 and 3 for 2 may I add!

L-R

546 RAINBOW- bought this purely because of loads of blog mentions. Damn you!!!

550 PURPLE HEART- after seeing Elly with this on I decided I 'needed' it. It reminds me of a beetle it flashes purple and green depending on the light.

549 HOLOGRAPHIC- I've been trying to find this EVERYWHERE ( well the Headingley Superdrug didn't have it )!

ZARA- £19.99

I love prints and I love Zara!

Miss Selfridge- £12.00

Summer scarf? Not really worth the tag but it will keep at bay my lemmings for a snood!!

SAD. SAD. SAD. I wasn't joking when I said I collect postcards!!! Couldn't find any M.A.C ones so some Illamasqua and Dolce & Gabbana ones will have to do!

Quick hi! Got told the night before we were off out with Michelle and co to Manchester. So no revision!! My mum decided to treat me and my sister and gave us some money to enjoy ourselves. Bad idea. My quick high has turned into guilt. I had to show her everything I bought... she wasn't impressed!!!
