Birthday Haul - Perfume, The Body Shop + MAC

 Hullo Ladies!

The month of September was a busy month for me! It was my birthday month :-)

I received lots and lots of lovely goodies!

From my parents I was given this super cute birthday cake! It was so tasty :-) 

I was also given this Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish Set :-) 

I knew I was going out for a few meals in the month of September so I decided to buy myself a new dress and chose this one by Alice & You from ASOS 

From my friends Jess, I recieved this gift set from Bomb Cosmetics. It's the Strawberry one :-) Love it!

From my Nan I was given this Photo Frame!

I really wanted one like this for my bedroom so I was so super happy with it :-) 

With the money my Auntie gave me I bought a new Makeup Revolution Blush Palette in Hot Spice! 

It's gorgeous :-)

 She also gave me a box of chocolates and a gorgeous soft toy rabbit.

My brother took me Shopping and bought me some lovely goodies from The Body Shop as they had a fab £25 off a £50 spend! 

I picked three shower gels, three body lotions, two hand creams, a shampoo and a body scrub.

I was also given two three gifts! 

The Vitamin E Face Cream and the Warming Mineral Mask :-) 

Then a few days later with some of the money I had left I made a few more purchases from The Body Shop. I like to buy in bulk and then use them through out the year!

I bought the Coconut, Mango and She Medium Sets :-) 

They had the 40% off code on at the time so they were a lot cheaper than what I would have paid! Bargain! 

A week later I took advantage of the Debenhams 10% off beauty offer code and picked up some MAC goodies. 

Two Pro Longwear Paint Pots in Painterly and Bare Study. 

Three Lipstick in Chatterbox, Lustering and Russian Red.  

I was also given some gorgeous new perfumes this year!

Coco Mademoiselle EDP by Chanel, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, Stella by Stella McCartney and Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana.

The Chanel was gift for myself by myself! 

Does anyone else do that? Haha!

I was also given a few DVD's this year too :-)

Wayne's World, which I loved as a kid! The Woman In Black, which is one of my favourite horror movies. The first season of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air & To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar, which is another childhood favourite! 

So I was officially spoiled rotten again this year!

I can't wait to review some of these products!

 Especially The Body Shop goodies, the MAC stuff and the Perfumes! Yay!

WISHLIST: ASOS Curve Dresses For The Party Season!

Hullo Ladies!

Party season is here and with my obsession with ASOS back in full force I've made this new Wishlist post about all the lovely dresses I'm corrently salvating over! 

Black Kimono Maxi Dress

This looks gorgeous! The pattern is so beautiful and expensive looking. 

Black Lace Mini Dress

I bought this one!

 It's a lot longer that the picture shows though! I like it though so I'm keeping it. It's more of a Midi than a Mini. Which I think I'm more comfortable with :-) 

Black Bodycon

I only recently bought my first body con and it's a big step for me as they can show all your lumps and bumps but I also think they can make you look sexy as hell when done right!

Graphic Bodycon Dress

Another gorgeous Bodycon! I've seen many Plus Sized bloggers who look amazing in graphic dresses like this :-) 

Lace Skater Dress Raspberry

I love the colour and the cut of this dress, It looks like it would be super flattering on.

Skater Dress With Scallop Lace

This is a gorgeous dress that would be great for a formal party, maybe for a work due or something like that. It looks beautiful and the lace gives it a sexy edge.

Are you on the look out for a new party dress this season? 

I've bought a few for my Aunties 25th Wedding Anniversary thats happening later this month. You can hopefully help me decide which to wear!

Collective Haul : August 2013 - ASOS, Newlook, George and more :-)

Hullo Ladies!

I haven't hauled for awhile, because of personal reasons I don't get out much lately. The last few weeks though I've been picking up little things here and there and yesterday me, my mam and my nan did a big shop for a holiday were going on in October. 

I picked up some nice things so I thought I'd do a collective haul :-)

In the ASDA sale I picked up this basic grey dress, It was originally £10 down to £5. It's an easy piece to wear and you can dress it up easily. 

I've been looking for a nice denim jacket for ages but all the ones i've seen have been either too overpriced or actually really uncomfy.

I'm in love with this one though, it's comfy and it looks great with a lot of things, I can't wait to wear it with some dresses on my holiday!

Next is this amazing Kimono from New Look.

 I first found the kimono in the inspire section for £22.99 which although I could afford, it seemed slightly overpriced for me. Having a look around, I found it again in the main line also in a size 18, exactly the same piece, but only £19.99, I hate when that happens! So if your a plus size gal and you happen to see this kimono in store check out the new look main line first a see if you can find one in there that fits you, kimono's are made big anyway so you have a good chance and it'll save you a few pound. 

I made another ASOS order last week :-) I'm obsessed! 

I ordered this dress as it was on sale for just £12.50 and I've seen it loads of times on tumblr!

It's a gorgeous little black dress and I'm excited to wear it on a night out :-)

 I also ordered a black skater skirt from ASOS too but I've worn it already and I couldn't take a photo of it because it's in the wash. It's just a simple black skater skirt.

A few weeks ago whilst looking for a present for a friends birthday, I found this lovely bag from ASDA that will be great to take away on holiday with me. It has really interesting fringing and for £7 you can't go wrong :-)

I'm loving belts lately, I think they always finish off an outfit for me. 

I picked up three waist belts in the New Look sale, and a pack of two glitter skinny belts from asda for £3. 

They're all gorgeous, I love them! 

In asda I also picked up my first L'oreal Caresse lipstick on sale for £6 and I'm in love with it, I'll be reviewing it really soon!

I also stopped in Poundland and was really wonderfully surprised to find some Sleek and Revlon lippy's. I got my first Revlon Kissable Balm Stain for a £1. Yay me!  

I like one of the sleek lipsticks I bought, a bright purple called Amethyst, but the other colours really weren't for me.They were only a pound each though so i'm not upset over it.

Last but not least I picked up this funny little necklace from New Look for £2.50. 

So that's everything I bought this month, I found some great things to take on holiday! 

Have you found any good deals in the end of summer sales?

First ever ASOS order! Feat Primark and New Look :-)

Hullo Ladies!

So I've been a naughty girl this last week but I guess I'm just not made to write blog post in a heat wave....My body and mind just aren't up to it. 

Surprisingly though, something I am able to do in this heat is online shopping.....Ummm....I have no excuses :-( 

So after stalking the website for more than a year, I decided to try out asos. Mainly because of the gorgeous dress below thats actually from Primark and at £10, I just couldn't say no.

Sadly it wasn't to be and I ended up sending it back due to the fact that it felt two sizes smaller than it stated. 

I think I started to cry when I gave it to the post office woman. 

I've had no problem with refunding though which is always a good thing. Can't beat free postage and returns. 

Here are the things that did fit! 

New Look Inspire Floral Print Skirt

Originally £14.99

Sale Price £9.50 

I haven't worn a skirt this colourful since I was about nine but lately I've been loving the look of them and really want a few more. 

This fits beautifully and is true to size. 

All I need now is a new white t -shirt to wear with it :-) 

ASOS Curve Swing Dress 

Originally £28

Sale Price £16.50 

This is the dress I picked after returning the Primark Red Dress. 

I could probably go a size down but I think it works fine, its a swing dress so it's supposed to be big right? 

I'm so glad I did, It's gorgeous. I'm hopefully going to wear it to my town's festival this Saturday and I'm pairing it with my waist belt that came with a dress that my mam bought me from Debenhams years ago.  I need to get some more belts, they're my favourite things to pair with a dress.

I love how you only have to belt this dress for it to show off your beautiful curves without being super tight and showing those horrible bumps. 

Primark Belted Print Maxi Dress 

£10.00

A stunning maxi dress that is going out of stock fast by the looks of it. 

I could have gone down a size but It still fits okay. It comes with a belt that's a great size. I was worried it was going to be too small but it's a good length ;-) Hehehe. 

I love the print so much. 

The most surprising thing of all is....it has POCKETS! 

I love the idea of having pockets on dresses, I've found a few of them lately but this is the first Maxi dress I've seen with them. That will come in handy on holiday :-) 

So that's everything I've ordered from the ASOS website :-) 

I'm really happy with my order and I've had no problems. 

I choose the free delivery option and it came in just 3 days.

Have you bought anything from ASOS lately?
