It's Ok Not To Be Ok...

Apologies for the lack of posts this week i haven't been well at all, possibly tonsillitis, I'm praying its not though. Anyway i have received a few bits in the post that i thought i could share with you all...

H&M ring - £3.95

I love this ring and intend on buying it in a couple of the other colours. I don't usually like H&M for jewelry but it's starting to catch up to some of the other high street shops, which is brilliant as its half the price of Topshop :)

After seeing a couple of blogs mention fragrancedirect.co.uk i stumbled across some bargains and bought these three lipsticks, each were less than £2 each saving me a total of a tenner! I didnt like the one in the middle [picture above], so i only pictured the other two below -

Ambre Rose by Loreal - £1.99

    Lovely Rouge by Bourjois - £1.99

Barry M - 293 Grey - £2.95

I love this colour. It is a lovely alternative to black and is so much easier to apply and take off. I also thing it is abit more 'springy' and 'daytime' than black, so i've been wearing it alot.

Lots of Love,

sweet sensation...

001. I want need this blouse! Its only £16 online but i'm not sure on peacocks sizing and dont want to loose out on postage if it doesnt fit, (my shopping fund is low atm), i will check out my local store though, just in case.

002. I got my V festival ticket & am so excited. I've been for the past 3 years and the lineup this year is amazing, Eminem and Rihanna are headlining separatley AND performing together, ahhh. Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal, The Script and Chase and Status... so many i am excited to see :-)

003. Have a new fave nailvarnish. Barrm M Coral, they are £3.10 from ASOS but with 20% student discount and free delivery it works out cheaper than buying them in superdrug - win win.

004. I really want an alexa look-alike-bag for a decent price. My current bag is practically falling apart so i actually need one haha. I have seen a few on ebay but some look so plasticy and some so flimsy. Anyone have one that they would reccomend?

Lots of schoolwork this weekend and the buying a V ticket has left me penny-less so you will have to be patient over this week. I have ordered a few bits online, so i promise to do a post as soon as they arrive ;-)

Londons calling...

So today i spent the day mooching around Westfields and Camden Market. Although i didnt buy as much as i'd hoped i did manage to pick up a couple of things...

Firstly i popped into MAC. I have been wanting a lipstick foreverrrrr so i decided to do it properly and ask the mua for some guidence. She suggested Creme Cup (a blogger fave) and Chatterbox. As i have never had a MAC before i decided just to buy one, and if i liked it get the other one next time i was shopping... I decided to get Creme Cup as i thought i could wear it on a more day to day basis.

As this is so popular i wont do a big review on it as i've seen a million before, so i will just say I love it & am definatley now a MAC convent! Creme Cup is a gorgeous pale pink, but not cheap looking like most pale pinks. Athough its matte it isnt drying and lasts for hours :)

Next time i see a MAC counter i will not be able to refrain from buying another, even at £13.50... completley worth the investment!

Lastly i bought 2 nail polishes from a store called "Beauty Base". They were only 99p so i wasnt expecting much but they arent half bad! I have no doubt they will chip after a couple of days and go gloopy after a couple of months, but for right now they are good. The colours i chose are "Lilac Frost" and "Live". I love the first as it is a less scary alternative to white.

Hope your all well,

J

white blank page...

very uneventful day and a slightly pointless post :/

I have been searching for jewellery like this for ages and am struggling to find any at a decent price (£30 for a ring?!?). I am lusting for a pyramid stud ring (in both pictures) and I'm beginning to like owl face rings too. Does anyone have any similar things / know of anywhere reasonable? i would love to know! 

I've also just made another ASOS order (free delivery and discount is too much to resist!), which included a ring *shock*, bracelet and nail varnish, so there shall be a post about that soon. The picture above is also making me want to try white nails. I am nervous though as i am pale i think it might look as though i have tip-exed my nails, especially when it chips... anyone tried it and actually like it?

just got to roll with it...

I have been lusting after this topshop cardi for ages, however at £38 I decided to have a shop round for something similar.

I noticed a new shop in one of my local towns, called 'Select'. I noticed a similar shape cardigan to this one in grey and cream, and almost bought the grey one when i noticed an identical one to the topshop one for only £16! The only difference is the stitching is slightly bigger, but apart from that they look and feel the same, SCORE ;-)

This one has a slightly pink undertone that annoyingly doesn't really show well in pictures...

I also spent £15 in New Look as there is a deal on t-shirts (3 for £15), defiantly worth having a look as there were almost too many to choose from. I actually bought two of the same, one in white and one in a rusty colour, (pictured above) as i know i'll get lots of wear out of them. Plus new look has 10% student discount, so i literally had no excuse not to buy them.

Hope your all well,

J
