My first wish list!!

(None of the below pictures belong to me)
I've never done a post like this but pay day is drawing near (wahooooooooo!!) and I have a few things on my mind that I really would love to purchase, I highly doubt I will get them all at once but it doesn't hurt to get them down on (electronic) paper haha.


1) MAC Matchmaster foundation £27

I got a tester from my local MAC counter & fell in love with this foundation! I believe I am shade 8.5 and I can't wait to get it! Let's just hope it really is a "Matchmaster" because I have a tendency to get foundations in slightly the wrong shade lol




2) White Blazer Zara £49.99

White blazers are gorgeous and a great staple to have! I hardly ever buy items of clothing over £30 but for this I sooooo would lol. I can imagine pairing it with a pair of jeans and black heels*day dreamssss*
Not sure if this is the exact blazer I tried on in Zara but it is very similar.



3) Vera Wang Pink Princess Eau de toilette £24 - £35 depending on shop & bottle size

So I was taking a walk through Boots and the display for this perfume really caught my eye! The bottle is pretty and typically girlie and the scent is incredible! It's floral & fruity at the same time and one spray lasted for ages!


4) Revlon ColourBurst Lip butters £7.99

My lips cannot deal with anything drying on them as they are already pretty dry so when I saw these are lip butters and give you great colour and moisture I had to add them to my list! Apparently they are really pigmented too which is always a plus! Haven't decided on which colour though.

5) Winged/ Cat eye sunglasses

I'm not 100% sure if "winged" is the correct term for these glasses as I kept finding glasses with actual wings designs on them LOL but I love the shape of these frames and would totally wear them this summer even just on the way to work haha!

Lush!! If you know where I can get a pair similar to these please let me know!



6) Tickets to Hawaii or Cuba for me & my closest friends

Ah one day, one day :")



So what do you think of my list? I'm sureee there is more but I can't remember lol
Anything you would advise against or recommend?

God Bless

Body Shop & Boots!


Last Thursday was Student Shopping Night in Canterbury...woohoo!! It's a night that takes place every few terms where shops stay open till 9 instead of 5:30/6 and they have discounts from 10% right up to 30% and Body Shop had 30% off! Woohoo! They also had DJ's, food, fire displays and goodie bags! So cool!

I was surprised that I only bought two items the whole night but I suppose my purse is happy about that haha

This first thing I bought was one of Body Shops famous body butters! I was stuck between this Shea butter one because it felt amazing and a Mango one because it smelt amazing but I decided on Shea because it is literally so creamy! 

I had to get something Mango-ey because it smelt incredible so I copied my friend and bought some Mango Body Mist! It smells insanely good but doesn't linger for as long as I would like.




Body Shop were also giving out 10% discount cards for throughout the year which would normally cost £5 so a few days later I went back and bought some Mango lip butter! (I reckon you can guess my favourite Body Shop fragrance haha) 
 I was intrigued because I can sometimes have quite dry lips and I thought a butter may be more moisturising and I was correct! The only problem is it can leave a funny taste if you're prone to licking your lips like me.



Boots were doing discounts of 10% at the Student Shopping Night but when I don't take my time to look through items I can hardly ever find things :( So I went back a few days later when it was less busy and even though I didn't get the 10% off I still picked up a bargain! 

This cute pot was around £2.50 and is a sweet smelling body scrub! I love looking at the Soap and Glory line but I never buy anything so I was excited to pick this up! First of many! 


Have you tried these products or bought anything recently?

Recent Purchases & Randomness ❤

(All photos have been taken by me)
Haven't been on here in a longgg time! For a mix of reasons, mainly not having internet in my uni house -___-  (Thanks BT) and trying to complete my essays! But as I'm home for the holidays I thought I'd try and write a bit more.

This post is on bits and bobs I've picked up recently and how much I'm loving them...or not much so!

First up is a great lip gloss my sister picked up for me in Kiko Cosmetics at Westfield, Stratford. It is an extra volume, plumping and moisturising gloss, a gorgeous pink colour, slightly shimmery and totally moisturising! I hate when you put lip gloss on and it feels like it melts away in two seconds but this stays for ages and leaves no nasty residue. It retails for £6.90 on the website but in the shop it was only £3! Bargain!





The next couple of things I picked up in Canterbury when browsing the shops after uni....

 The below photos are of the Corrector and Concealer Palette from Sleek which I bought for around £7 in Superdrug and is so worth it because I absolutely rinse it haha! I use it pretty much everyday, It's so good for covering dark circles and highlighting your eyebrows! 
The lighter shade in the first circle is the corrector, the middle is concealer and the last is a setting powder.The only problem is with the concealer (middle circle) you have to blend it well as it is thick and if you don't you will look odd......trust me lol




(Left to right: Corrector, Concealer, Setting Powder)
Next up is Pout Paint also by Sleek!
Finally bought one, I originally wanted the bright red one called Pin Up but my local didn't have them in stock at the time :( So I bought my next favourite...Minx!

They retail for £4.99 and are so pretty! They only come in 8ml tubes but last for ages as they are so thick and the tiniest dot creates the craziest amount of colour!
Collect all 11 shades and mix them to make new colours!! Lots of  fun

They apply like a lip GLOSS, have the colour of a lip STICK and have the staying power of a lip STAIN! I must admit I don't use it often as my lips are quite dry and cracks sometimes show :'( (any remedies would be so helpful :D



See the dry bit? *sigh* :(


I also reaaaaaaallly wanted a burgundy nail polish because it was around the time where burgundy was EVERY WHERE lol you know what I mean, I was also obsessed with the colour so I scoured Superdrug for a pretty shade and came up with this...Collection 2000 Lasting Colour 10 Day Wear in Damson Jam which was around £2.99 ...Love it! Stays on for a long time too.



Lastly I bought a fur stole from H&M which was around £12, random but I really wanted one lol


Love a good shop!

Shoppinggggg❤

I have not been shopping in a long time so when my sister and her friend Adwoa invited me to hang out I was even more excited!
We went to Westwood Cross in Thanet and had a lovely time.

These are the lovely ladies I went with....


We first grabbed a bite to eat and ended up staying there for ages having a great girly chat, was so much fun! This is what I ordered....

New Look currently have a buy one get one free (cheapest item free) offer on their hair accessories & jewellery! Noticing this had us in the shop for a longggg time lol, here's what I ended up with....



This ring was £3.99


This flower was around £3 (please ignore the bathroom pics haha!)

Next up was H&M one of my favourite shops! I didn't manage to find a lot in this particular branch but I picked up a few sale items.

 This top is pretty simple and was £2 in the sale..yay! Apparently its meant to be a pyjama top but we'll breeze past that fact haha! It looks lovely on and fits well.


 I remember seeing a similar bag to this a while back in H&M so was pleased to find this bag on sale for £5!


Next up was Dorothy Perkins!.....



 I've had my eye on this kind of bracelet for a while! It's a bracelet connected to a ring and was only £2! Bargain!


Lastly we went to Top shop where I managed to get the item I was looking for the whole trip! A cropped tee! Now I know I haven't got the best tummy so I will wear this high wasted haha but when I get a bit slimmer I may possibly wear it like this.....possibly lol! Bought this top for £8.


(Ignore the mess teehee)

A few things also came in the post! My lashes from Ebay to practise with ( anyone who knows me knows I'm rubbish at applying them lol ) and also some free packets of Whey Protein loool sign up to Studentbeans.com and there are loads of freebies you can get sent to your door!




Happy shopping guys! and if anyone knows how I can style this crop top please get at me lol

God Bless
