W7

So the other day I got a parcel from my postman, I was super confused as I was sure I hadn't ordered anything, and I basically screamed when I opened it. I'm not used to getting things sent to me from companies, I've only had a few things sent and it still seems so bizarre to me that people choose me to let the public know what I think.

W7 ran a bloggers competition to review their new lipstick the other day, however I was at work so I missed it, I was not too happy! But when I emailed them they said they would send me a few bits to take a look at, I wasn't expecting all this!

I received the Prime Magic, Make Up & Glow Bronzing Base, Full Colour Lipstick in 'Tides', The Fixer and Nail Polish in '87 Pistachio'. I am so in love.

The primer is very matte, it is so different to the one I use at the moment and I wasn't sure I liked it at first, it just felt a bit odd. But it made my skin feel so so amazing and there was no shine which I love. I'm sure they read my mind as I was very close to running out of my primer and I was having a little panic whether to buy the same one again or try out a new one.

The Bronzing base is too dark for me as I am basically a ghost, however it works well for contouring!

The lipstick is crazily bright and took me a while to get used to, but it is such a nice colour. It feels like a lip balm, more like I'd used my baby lips rather than a lipstick, it just felt so smooth and not lipstick like - in a good way!

I love using a fixer after doing my make up, and the one I am using at the moment just doesn't seem to end, they last so so long. This one smells really good and it's something I use every day.

The nail varnish is such a beautiful colour, as I wear black quite a lot it really works well. As you know I am so so terrible at painting nails so please excuse the mess!
It did chip quite quickly but whatever nail varnish I use it chips really quick so I'm not sure how it would work on 'normal' nails, I must just do a lot of stuff that makes my nails chip! This was after one/two coats, some nails only needed one, they are slightly see-through however another coat would've sorted that.

Thank you so much W7 for my presents, I absolutely love them. And thank you guys for reading this and reading my blog in general, without you I wouldn't get cute stuff like this!

Byeeeeeeeee.

Huge Haul

So guys, as you all know, I am trying to save money, and as you also know I am doing terribly at saving money! I keep thinking 'oooh I really need that' or 'oh I could take this to Dubai'! But I thought I could show you some of my new buys, most of it I did 'need' and all of it was a decent price, some on sale and some just cheap! I've started going into really cheap shops like poundland and finding amazing products for (surprisingly) a pound!
So lets get straight into it!

So I found this VO5 'plump it up' volumising spray which is also heat defence in my local poundworld (obviously for a pound), it is retailing at about £3.50 so when I saw it I just HAD to buy it. It smells pretty lovely, nothing special but not horrible. It just gives me that extra boost I love in my hair. 

I also found these three items while in 'Pounworld'. As I dye my hair quite a bit I like using products with macadamia oil as they just leave my hair feeling so nourished. Also the packaging was so so lovely I just couldn't say no, seeing as they were only a pound each. As with the last product, they smell pretty plain, quite nice but nothing special, but they make my hair feel so so lovely. 

I will always use this spot cream, I have 4 of these at the moment, obsessive I know, but at £9.95 each, whenever they are on offer I feel I have to buy another one because I know I will always use it. It says exactly what it say on the tin (bottle, but y'no) it helps spots within 2 hours! It is clear and really light so I can use it then put make up over it to cover up the spot. This is, and always will be, my go to product for spots. Boots often have £5 off deals on No7, so I picked this up for £4.95.

I have never used a primer before, so I thought I would give it a go and buy this from superdrug for £4, and I  love it! It gives my make up such a smoother look and I would seriously recommend using a primer if you have uneven skin or spots.

While in superdrug I picked this 'Fix Me Up' spray by Collection 2000 for £5.99. I had heard amazing reviews about the Mac finishing spray so I thought I would try this cheaper one out first, and again with the last product, I bloody love it! I am so happy I bought this! I think it was a mix of using both, but I put on my make up at 10am, went to work then went to look after my nephews and at 6pm my sister complimented me on how amazing my make up looked, 8 hours after applying it! 

As you probably all know, I am trying to tone up before I jet off to Dubai. I'm not sure if this is working or not as I have only been using it a few days, however it has left my skin so so soft and nourished, and it smells amazing. I've heard loads of bad reviews about the smell of this product however I think it smells wonderful, as most of the Palmers products do. I will update you in a few weeks as to whether or not this product is doing what it says it is. It cost me £4.85 which I don't think is too bad if it actually works!

 So while in Canterbury my sunglasses broke (*cries*) so I thought I HAD to buy some new ones for Dubai, the first one is very similar to my old ones, and the second one is a bit different, they are a 'cat eye' style and I just love them! These are both off good old ebay, the fair pair cost me £1.89 and the second pair cost me £3.69.

As I am dying my hair back to brown, it means I can go back to my red lipstick (YAY) and this is my favourite shade of red lipstick ever. My one ran out last year at some point and I never got round to buying another, I just kept trying out different ones but never found one quite as good as this. This is shade 'Love Red' and it is more of a blue red than an orange red, as orange reds just don't suit me, it cost's £9.75 however I had a £3 coupon so I only paid £6.95!

Even though it is getting slightly warmer (it isn't THAT warm in England) I thought this bobble hat was just adorable, especially as I am going back to brunette, it just adds a bit of colour to my head! It was only £1 in the F+F sale so I just had to pick it up!

So, as a lot of you have been asking me, this is the colour I am going! I am thinking of leaving the bottom pink to fade into blonde, aka, dip dye. I wanted a medium brown, nothing too dark and nothing to light. I know it will go lighter when I am on holiday. As my hair is quite long now I need two packs, and they were on 2 for £8 in asda, so even though I am not dying it for a few weeks, they are usually £6.49 each so I just had to take up the offer! I love the Loreal Casting Creme Gloss as I find they are really nourishing (as nourishing as a dye can be) and they leave my hair really soft.

I bought this cute (candle holder I think?) from poundland, I thought it would look really cute with my jewellery on, random I know but I just thought it would work!

I love flowery headbands, however most of mine are now broken, so I thought I would treat myself to a new one for Dubai. This cost me £4.99 from New Look and I just thought it would go with so much because of the plain pink-ish nude colour. 

I feel like I do not wear enough rings, so I thought I would but these huge chunky rings from New Look for £7.99, I am trying to wear more jewellery because I feel I really lack in the jewellery department, haha!

The last thing I brought was this adorable peace toe ring from new look for £3.99, I just thought this would be perfect for holiday to add something extra to a plain outfit.

Thank you for reading this super long post, I really need to stop spending!
