Mini Primark Haul!

Hello all!

I told you I'd be back with a proper post, but I bet none of you believed me! Heehee! On Saturday I went to Basildon to pick up two rings from my Aunty Tina which were for my 21st birthday with my mum, so we thought while we are close to Lakeside, let's pop in Primark for a quick shop! It was literally the only shop we went in on Saturday, we didn't want to do the whole of Lakeside, we live an hour and 30 minutes away so not to far if we do want to go shopping there!

I haven't been to Primark in ages! But I picked up some really nice pieces which is what I'm going to write about, and show you in tonights post! 

This is just an overview of some of the things that I bought! I didn't want to take a picture of everything as I'd be here forever, so I thought I'd just show you the bits I'm extremely pleased with! 

So firstly I bought these crocheted style tops in teal, pink and white! I believe these were £8 each, and for that price you cannot go wrong! I'll be wearing either a white or a black vest top underneath these as they're quite see-through, but they'll also look good with just a bikini on underneath if you're looking for something to slip over the top whilst you're at the beach or pool! I'm going on holiday to Majorca this September with my Boyfriend which is one of the main reasons I bought these. These will be perfect teamed with denim shorts and perfect for casual day wear as they're so light! 

I absolutely love this top! I think this was also £8! I actually saw this on a mannequin in the shop, and I wouldn't have bought this if it wasn't for the mannequin! On the mannequin it was teamed with denim shorts, and the bottom part of the shirt was tied like a crop top! It looked so nice! I actually wore this the other day as a crop top, but I wore a long grey vest underneath, skinny jeans and white converse! So I took the baseball style to the extreme! Again, this will be perfect for summer as it's a very light material, especially for those cooler summer evenings!

Can you see a theme with the summer style clothing? Again, I was thinking of my far, yet upcoming holiday! This was either £6 or £8, so a great price! I thought this would be perfect in the day time with just a pair of black sandals, but also perfect for evening with a black waist belt and a pair of black heels! So that's two outfits in one, saving space in my suitcase, meaning I can bring back more presents (for myself!).

I had to get this! This bikini set was £4! That's crazy! It's a bandeau style top meaning no on show tan lines which is great, plus I have hardly any bikinis in this type of colour, print or style! Plus it's the perfect going away bikini. Very summery, and I feel that people are usually a bit more daring with what they wear abroad, and usually go for things they don't usually wear, and I wouldn't usually wear this, but I am in love, and cannot wait to wear it! Again, for lazing about the pool or beach, the bikini top would be great paired with denim shorts, and even the white or pink crocheted top from earlier!

Plain grey plimsoles for £3, you cannot go wrong. Everybody needs a pair of plimsoles, and I thought grey would pretty much look good with anything. I was going to get white, but I'm terrible with keeping white shoes clean! Plimsoles are always a main part of my wardrobe in the summer. Especially for those long summer strolls!

These sandals are similar to the Ted Baker jelly type sandals but for a fraction of the price. These were £4! I had these last year, which I bought for £5, but they didn't have the heart charms, they were just plain. Unfortunately that pair were used as a chew toy by my Boyfriend's dog! I was not amused, especially when I went back to get another pair, and they were not stocking them! I was definitely pleased to see these this year, and the heart charm and cheaper price was a definite bonus!

I am so impressed by the quality of Primark jewellery recently! I remember when it wasn't that great, but it has improved greatly! I picked this necklace up as it's very feminine, and for £1.50 I couldn't say no! Especially when I have a bracelet I bought from Primark the last time which would go very nicely with this! 

Lastly I have these 2 cute little doggy outfits! As you may or may not know I have 2 tiny Chihuahuas. Chihuahuas are prone to getting cold quite easily, so little t-shirts or dresses are good for keeping their body warmth in. These were the only 2 types of clothing they had, other than bandanas, but they wouldn't of helped with the warmth! But I thought these were both very cute, as you can see the left one is a dress with a tutu at the bottom and says Princess, which I bought for Toffee (the girl). The right one says "I'm wearing nothing under this shirt" which I thought was so cute, and I bought that one for Fudge (the boy). These were £3.50 each, and considering most doggy clothes are £10+, I was definitely impressed. They fit perfectly too, and they are in the size Small. 

Have you been to Primark recently? Did you get any good deals on anything, or pick up something you really love?

Until next time,

I'm useless!

Again I've neglected my blog! I do have a valid excuse however, and I am back now (hopefully for longer than before)!

I've been looking for a job recently so I've been applying and applying until I'm blue in the face, but still, no good news yet! But hopefully I will hear some positive news soon! 

I have some posts coming up, and I'm hoping to get one up either tonight/tomorrow! 

Much love!

I'mmmm baaaaaack!

Hello lovelies!

Told you I'd be back! I'm not reviewing any products this time, instead I'm going to show you what my Dressing Table looks like! It's a little messy at the moment as I'm currently trying to re-do my room, but this is what it is like currently! It isn't too bad, I'm still quite organised, but messily!


This is the entire view of my dressing table, as you can see there is quite a few things on it, but I have closer photos so that I can explain! 


So this is the right side of my dressing table, starting from the back I have 2 Frontcover palettes, a Studio 51 colour palette, colour technic palette, pretty in pink palette, and then finally the Soap and Glory Power Trip palette!
I have 3 mugs containing all my brushes, the white and purple one has eye brushes in, the middle one (which you can't see!) has face brushes in, and then the white and green one has sponges in! I also have my little Vaseline Tin which has Vaseline tins in... (WHATTTT?!)


On the left side I have an empty box (to collect empties in to review), a box with skincare goodies in, these are just Eve Taylor Cleanse, Toner and Moisturiser, Witch Hazel, Aroma Truth Face Soother, Eve Taylor Eye and Lip cleanser, and Primark face wipes! I find if I don't have my skin products out on display, I will not use them and forget to cleanse my face, which isn't good! I also have a white Soap and Glory hairband hanging up for when I do my skin care, and a bottle of hand sanitizer as you don't want to be using dirty hands all around your face!
Onto the messy drawers!


So this is the first drawer on the left, all my lip products! At the left side of the picture I have Lip Balms, to the right of that I have tubed Lip Glosses, Further right is the wand Lip Glosses, and at the bottom I have my Lip Sticks! 


This drawer is kind of a mishmash of things! This is the 2nd drawer on the left. From the left I have Deodorants, Hand Sanitizer's and extra cotton pads, and at the top I have perfume samples and eyelashes!


This is my messiest drawer! All of the products are literally bath things! Scrubs, shower gels, shampoos, etc! I could open my own store as this isn't even all of it!


This is the top drawer on the right, and is all eye products! I have glitter eyeliners at the back, then pencil and liquid eyeliners, and then mascaras. And I have to squeeze my neutral palettes in at the back!


And finally my 2nd drawer on the right, I do have a 3rd but I'm not going to even bother with that, it's just random stuff that isn't even makeup or beauty related! So this drawer, is the face drawer! Top left I have random face products that I don't know what to do with, bottom left is bronzers and blushers, in the small blue container at the top is powdered foundations, and in the rather full looking bigger blue container is cream/liquid foundations, highlighters, and concealers. This is the container I use most! At the very right of the picture is a couple of brush wraps with a few brushes in that I never use!

I hope you enjoyed reading and looking how I store my makeup! I also have a nail storage post coming in the next week as well as a few reviews and some other little surprise posts! 

See you all soon!

AWOL

Hello you beautiful people!

I am so sorry I haven't posted in a while! I have got so many posts planned, but just haven't got around to typing them up! It's been a little bit hectic here! It was my birthday on the 2nd of February and I turned the big 21! So with that combined with job searching, time has flown by!  But as I mentioned I have plenty of ideas for posts, and they will be posted within the next few days! Exciting! The first one will be my birthday haul, showing you what I got! I was very spoilt, but I'm so grateful to everyone as I received some wonderful gifts!


See you soon!
