Nail Varnish Haul

Sorry I haven't posted in ages!

Yesterday I went a little crazy in Superdrug and bought rather a few nail varnishes, but they were all so nice I couldn't say no. Plus I've been seeing so many cute colours on Pinterest I wanted to get some of my own. 

The first one I picked up is from the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure range. I've wanted to try one of these for ages as they've got a base coat and top coat inside which is ideal for when you just want to really quickly paint your nails. I got it in the colour Jaded which is really nice minty green. This is the only one from what I bought yesterday that I've tried so far but it's already one of my favourite colours. 

The second ones I picked up are all from Barry M. However two are from their latest range called Silk. I saw that these had been released on Twitter and so the trip to Superdrug was really only to see these and pick up a few. I decided to get two colours from this range: Blossom and Meadow. The model was wearing the greeny one in the advert and it looks really nice. I then picked up the pink because Barry M have got a 'buy one get one half price' offer so I thought I'd take advantage. I haven't tried these yet but I'm excited to see what they're like. The last Barry M one I decided to get is a really dark purple. I got this one because I thought it would look nice on toes, again I haven't used it yet. 

I also picked up a colour from Rimmel's range. I don't usually buy nail varnishes from Rimmel but I thought that this was a really nice spring colour and would go with a jumper I recently bought. It actually looks a lot darker on the nail than it does in the pot so it doesn't go very well with the outfit I had in mind, but it's still a nice colour to have in my collection. 

The final thing I picked up isn't too exciting. It's just a Top Coat from Collection's range but I'm really fussy when it comes to top coats, so we'll just have to see how I get on with this one! 

Have you bought any new colours recently, what's your favourite?

Collective Haul

I've done quite a bit of shopping over the past month or so and I thought it was time I shared with you what I've bought. It's a bit of a mixture but that makes it more exciting I guess :)

Clothes

I haven't bought much clothes recently mainly because the shops were full with their sales stuff. I personally am not one for rummaging around in the sales so I gave it a miss this year. The 3 items of clothing I bought were all from Dorothy Perkins and I admit, they did have 20% off, but I didn't find them in the sale rail. 

The first on the left is a pale pink jumper with a cute little crochet design on the shoulders. The second is a long sleeve top with a low neck and a floral pattern. The third is basically the same as this however the neck comes up a little higher. I love all three of these as they are exactly my style and cute for the winter. 

I finally treated myself to a new handbag, yay! I've been looking for one for so long but I just couldn't find one I liked for how much I wanted to spend. The one I bought in the end, pictured above, is from River Island. I saw it there a while ago and fell in love, however it was quite expensive so I had a look in other shops in hope to find something I liked just as much but for less. However it was one of those situations where you can't find anything else you like because your mind is already set on something. So I ended up going back and getting this one. I'm so glad I did though because I am basically in love with it. 

Make Up

Along with the L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara which I reviewed a few weeks ago (Click here to read), I also bought a few other bits of make up. Starting from the left: L'Oreal Glam Shine Balmy Gloss, Maybelline Baby Skin, Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation and finally Maybelline Colour Tattoo eye shadow. I bought the foundation simply because I was running out. The others however I hadn't tried before and so far I'm loving them. Especially the Glam Shine stick. It looks great on and lasts soo long. 

LUSH

As always, I went into Lush, however I was good this time and didn't go overboard. I will admit the picture above is a lie, I actually bought three bath bombs but I used one last night and completely forgot to feature it on here before. I'll start with the one that's missing, it was the 'Space Girl' bath bomb, I hadn't tried it before but it remind me of some of my favourite sweeties 'Palma Violets' as it smells like them and is also a similar colour, minus the red dust on top. The pink one above is the 'Think Pink' bath bomb, again I haven't tried this one before but its bright pink so I couldn't say no. The blue one above is probably my favourite I've tried so far, I think I've bought this one about 4 times now. It's the 'Blackberry' bath bomb and it smells amazing and turns the bath such a pretty colour. It also has a small little note inside which excites me every time. 

Bedroom Decor 

The last thing I bought is this small set of shabby chic drawers from Dunelm Mill. It's probably about 30ish cm's high and has 3 drawers. I thought it would be a cute place to store things like hair grips and hair bands. It fits perfectly with the theme of my bedroom and it was in the sale too, perfect!
 

Have you treated yourself to anything recently?

Little Tiny LUSH Haul

On a recent late night shopping trip (which was meant to be strictly present buying) I popped into LUSH. This is then when a shop assistant saw me and made a bee line towards me, probably because the look on my face said 'I'll literally buy anything'. However I managed to refrain myself from buying the whole Christmas selection *round of applause*... Thank you. 

Instead I bought three small things as a little Christmas treat to myself which were all under £5 each (I believe), so would make cute presents to friends or family members. 

Snow Fairy Magic Wand

The Snow Fairy Magic Wand has been soo popular this year and nearly every blogger I read has bought one so I thought it was time I tried it myself. I can now see why they rave about them, it smells amazing. Its such a sweet delicate smell and it looks super cute. The idea behind them is that you wave it around in running water and it bubbles up like normal bubble bath. They are also reusable so you can have numerous delicious smelling baths! The fact that its a fairy wand is so cute and unique which made me want it even more. They're just under £5 so they make a really nice small gift for someone or a great stocking filler. I'm yet to actually try this product but I'll be sure to tell you about it once I have :) 

Snowman Bath Bomb 

The second item I bought was a cute Snowman bath bomb. However mine looks slightly sad as his scarf seems to have turned out a bit funny, but he's still cute. Again I kinda just bought this one because it smelt amazing and it was Christmassy. It smells a bit like coco butter and a mixture of sweeties. I think it was one of the cheapest bath bombs available at £2.50 but that's what made it more tempting. Its such a cute Christmas gift idea and there was a so many more Christmas themed ones there too. I've managed to use this one already and it turned my bath pink so if that doesn't make you want it then I don't know what will :)

FUN 

The final but most exciting thing I bought was a FUN block. I'm not entirely sure what it actually is, but it instantly reminded me of PlayDough which I used to love as a child. Although thankfully it doesn't smell like it! The shop assistant explained to me what it actually does and it sounds, ironically, like it could be fun. It's meant for body and hair, although I don't think I'll be first in line to try it on my hair as it literally is like a block of PlayDough. The idea is that you mould it to kill bath time boredom, which to me sounds like it might be more suited to children and there is actually a small child playing with it on the packaging. Whether it's meant for children or not I wanted it. I was told that a small amount goes really far which is the main reason why I bought it. You can use a small amount (like a pea size) to wash most of your body apparently, which really doesn't seem like a lot but if its true its such good value for money. I'll be telling you how I get on with it soon! 
 10p from every bar sold goes to help the children from the Fukushima disaster too so even more reason to buy one :)

  

Byebye!
