Collective Haul : April - Enrapture, DR Jart+, New Look, Sleek + More

Hullo Ladies!

I've picked up a few lovely things in the last few weeks :-) 

Having a look on Amazon I noticed they had on offer on some of the Enrapture styling tools, I picked up the Totem Styler and I'm in love with it, I'm also in love with the price I paid for it! 

At that time it was around £21 :-) The cheapest I've seen it before that was £40 in boots around Christmas time so that's a great Bargain! 

I also stopped in TK Maxx and found some Nip+Fab goodies :-)

 I bought this CC eye fix which I've enjoyed using.

I paid £2.99 for it.

I also picked up this Pigmentation Fix which is apparently a Best Seller, I can't wait to see if it makes a difference. 

I paid £5.99 for it.

I then found this in ASDA for £5 which I thought was a great price. I have to say though, even thought it's the lightest shade they had it looks orange on me :-( hate it when that happens. I'll ever try and match it with a lighter product or give it to someone who it would  work well with. 

While in Boots I noticed they had an offer on DR.Jart which I'd heard a lot about so I picked up this Beauty Balm which I'm really liking :-) 

Also in Boot's I picked up another bottle of the Match Perfection from Rimmel which I really love using :-) 

Boot's also had an offer on Soap and Glory Skin Care, I looked to see if they had my favourite Peaches and Clean Cleanser which Is one of my favourites but they hadn't so I picked up another one which Is always talked about - The UltiMelt Hot Cloth Cleanser. I've only tried it a few times but I really like it so far.

 I still want to pick up another Peaches and Clean though as I find it great for daily use. 

I stopped in New Look and thought this top looked super cute! 

I really want a Pug one day :-)

I went out on a night out last weekend so the day before I picked up some new Eylure lashes. 

I bought them in Superdrug as they were on offer but they're huge so I ended up using something slightly more subtle pair. These would be great for something a bit more glamorous.  

So I still have my Sleek obsession and I managed to buy a few more palettes this month :-) 

The I-Candy Limited Edition palette and the Bad Girl Palette. 

I've heard many things about both and couldn't wait to have them in my hands!

Last but not least I picked up a few more essentials which I needed.

I few weeks ago I bought a Tresemme Shampoo and Conditioner and my scalp really didn't like it so I decided to pick up a new Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner for coloured hair. 

I also picked up some new cotton pads as I like to use them to help take off my makeup.

Last but  not least I bought a new red hair dye. Red is so hard to maintain but I can't get enough :-) 

Merry Christmas : What I Got For Christmas!

Hullo Ladies!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year :-)

In this post I'm going to talk about my Christmas Day and what I got for Christmas from friends and family. 

Look at my little cutie! 

He was so excited to get some new toys that he actually opened his presents on his own this year. After eights years I've never known him to rip wrapping paper to get to a toy but he really wanted to find out what was making that squeaky noise :-)

He loves his little Christmas Pig. 

Me and my brother Shaun decided to wake our parents up with moustaches this year. He already had his own so he decided to make a uni-brow instead.

I decided to put mine on rudolph :-) Don't he look cool? 

I was given a lot of beauty related gifts this year which I obviously loved! 

One of them happened to be the Soap and Glory Yule MOnty Gift Set!!

I was so excited to get this as I adore Soap and Glory and this box contains 9 full size products :-) 

From my nan I was given this Ted Baker Set, I've been meaning to try out the Ted Baker line for ages and my nan seemed to have realised! 

All products have a marvelous spicy floral scent. 

From my brother I was given some more Soap and Glory Products, I was so happy to receive the Eyes Box as It was on my wishlist this year :-) I can't wait to review it!

I finally have some products from LUSH and I'm so happy with them. I tried the Snow Fairy Shower gel last night and it's amazing!

I got some lovely goodies from The Body Shop as well which is always a good thing as it's one of my favourite brands!

I asked for some more of the tea tree line as I'm loving it at the moment and I received the Foam Cleanser, the Toner and the Scrub :-) 

I also received the Japanese Cherry Blossom Perfume set that includes the 50ml EDT and the 250 body lotion.

I also got one of my favourite scented line from The Body Shop!

The Strawberry set that includes four full sized products and a bath lilly :-) 

My hair has grown longer this year again so I asked for a new hair wand with a thicker barrel and my parents got me the Remington Sapphire Pro Curl.

Also from my parents I received a bottle of DIOR J'Adore.  

It's a gorgeous grown up scent that I'm super excited to wear! 

Another amazing beauty pick from my parents was the Urban Decay Smoked palette. 

The colours are so unbelievably beautiful and I can't wait to have some fun trying them all out!

The palette comes with a great how to booklet, a 24/7 eyeliner and a sample of the Primer Potion. 

Another set I was given was this French Connection Set that cam with a body wash, body lotion and body spray. It all came in a lovely cream wash bag too :-)

My brother also gave me the No 7 Manicure Set which I can't wait to use although I do find all those pieces kind of scary. They look like torture devices to me...anyone else feel the same way?

I also got a new bag and a new pair of Boot's from New Look!

Nice to have a change, I never really think to buy myself new boot's or bags!

A River Island purse which I asked for because both my purses broke in the beginning of December, so this was a must really :-) I just love how pretty it is!!

SOCKS!

Can't go wrong with socks for Christmas, thank you nan! 

A cute hat from Matalan from my mam and dad :-)

 I wore this shopping yesterday and all the kids in their prams were pointing at it lol

I also got a lovely new dress to wear out! 

It's a gorgeous velvet skater dress from New Look and I love it!

 My friend happened to give me this gorgeous necklace that I think goes with it perfectly :-) 

In my family, we've always had our biggest presents given to us by the dinner table after the Desserts. 

I don't know why or when It started but we've been doing it since before I can remember and this year I was given a Wireless Speaker System. I love it! 

 So that's everything I had for Christmas and I feel so blessed, I spent the whole day with family and we giggled, ate turkey and got drunk and that's really all you want out of the Holiday right? 

I really hope you all have an amazing New Years!

Hey Ladies!

Today I'm showing you what I'm taking on holiday with me - clothing wise :-) 

WARNING - The Following Post Contains many Dresses. 

New Look Dress -  Kelly Brook Collection 

£13 in Sale

This is a recent find that I haven't had time to haul. I picked it up in a recent sale, I wasn't sure whether to purchase it because I don't usually like fleshtones on me because I'm so pale but I dressed it up with black tights and my black leather jacket and it looked great :-) 

New Look Skater Dress

£14.99

This is a dress I received from my Aunty for my 21st Birthday.  I wore it recently and really loved how it looks. 

New Look Playsuit

£14.99

I bought this months back at the beginning of the Summer. I think I'm going to be wearing this around the pool. It's easy to put on and off when I get it and out of the pool and I can imagine it would dry quickly too. 

New Look

Aztec Maxi Dress £16.99

My brother bought me this in the Summer, whilst we were shopping for a Birthday present for my Dad. It's a gorgeous maxi dress that is very flattering on.

New Look Belts

A great summer dress I bought a few months back, It's so pretty with my denim jacket and a brown belt!

Another gorgeous summer fress from New Look, I'm really happy with the dresses from New Look this year. They brought out some stunning ones! You can tell, by the amount I've purchased! Hehe!

Dorothy Perkins

£20 in Sale

I bought this in Outfit a few months back and I'm in love with the fit. It looks crappy hanging up on the hanger but I feel so bloody sexy in it. I could have filled out the butt better but like all the women in my family I'm kind of lacking in that department. Sigh....

New Look Shirt 

£9.99

I bought this to wear with the skirt below. It's your every day aztec print vest that looks great dressed up and dressed down. 

Dorothy Perkins Peplum Skirt 

£7 in Sale

Before this summer, I don't think I own one skirt but lately I'm in love with them. I picked this up in the Dorothy Perkins Sale in Outfit and I'm so happy I did. It's another piece that I feel super sexy wearing!

ASDA Tights and Bikini

Sheer Black Tights - £3.50 (these are okay, not great, my Mam likes them enough though so she's taking them!) 

Hazelnut Tights - £2 (Really like these! Great for the price )

Bikini - £5.00

I've never worn a bikini in public but everytime I go on holiday I look around and get really jealous about all the pretty bikini's everyones wearing so this time I bought a cheap one to experiment with. I'm also taking my usual bathing suit too, just incase I don't like the bikini!

New Look Skirt 

£9.50 

Another gorgeous skirt that I'm taking! I love this one I picked it up in the ASOS sale (they sell New Look too!) I've worn it lots of times already and it's great!

Primark Maxi Dress

£10

Another gorgeous maxi dress and for £10 you can't go wrong. I could have chosen one a few sizes down because it's super stretchy. I love it anyway though and guess what?! It has pockets!!!

This was my Birthday dress and I adore it, It's unique and comfy but looks sexy too :-)

I was searching for a denim jacket for most of Spring and Summer and found this gorgeous one on sale in ASDA for just £9. It's supper comfy isn't too thick or too thin. Perfect! 

New Look Kimono

£19.99

I almost nearly didn't pick it up because of principles. I was pissed that New Look was selling exactly the same thing in the Inspire range but for a higher price. My nan made me pick it up in the end, I'm glad though because I really do love it. I'll just have to settle for writing them an angry email! Hehehe! Joke!

Belts
