Big Haul

Okay, so there is no way I can get the photos onto here, so bare with me... I've got a few from the internet, but you will have to read the other things lol

Peacocks - £12. This looks sooo much nicer in real life, it is sparkly!


Peacocks - £10. Mine look like this but are longer (have four buttons instead of two)


Boots - £1.95


Boots - £1.95


Boots - £1
Also got the honey and jojoba leave in conditioner for £1


Collection 2000 - Glam Crystals Eyeliner in Spandex - £2.93 - I love this!

Right now on to words...
Primark:
Two pairs of white trainers and one pair of navy blue - £2 each
Pink scarf - £3ish
Metallic animal print scarf - £3ish
Super booster bra in teal - £5 - Omi, this makes your boobs huge! I don't know if I like the huge fake look but will still look good under clothes.
Two pack of perfect shape bras in black - £6 - These are also amazing.
Lace front hot pants - £4

Accessorize:
I bought four purses for my friends and they're all really cute! They were all £4.50. One of them is from the child's section and is in the shape of a strawberry!

Also, in Poundland they have these chocolate wafer straws and I was over the moon when I found them because I hadn't had them in ten years!

Ooooh and, some of you may know I am becoming obsessed with owls. Well I bought a teddy owl today and the money went towards an owl charity. I bought it at a stall and they had real owls there and I stroked them! They had a grey one, a gorgeous white one, a hugeeeee one with big orange eyes and the cutest littlest one I had ever seen!

I also found a Sleek stand in a Superdrug! :D When I go in next I am getting the Original palette. I tested the colours and they are suprisingly smooth and look gorgeous!

I have an Avon haul coming up too :)

And again, sorry for the lack of photos x

Small NYC Nail Varnish Haul

I bought:

£2.49
New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in 216B Central Park - This is a really pretty pink/peach/beige. This is very shimmery which I love.

£2.49
New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in 206B East Village - I don't like this so far, its VERY sheer and watery. Its a shame because the colour is gorgeous. Maybe I just got a bad bottle :/

£1.99
Long-Wearing Nail Enamel in 133 Purple Pizzazz Frost - Lovely shimmery purple.

What I'm Loving At The Moment...

Headbands and slightly tacky flower clips :)
When I get home from school, wind swept and wet, all I want to do is put my hair back so I've found myself grabbing for my headbands :)
Also, with all this wind and rain we've been getting, I've been wearing my hair up a lot and to add a little detail, I've been wearing little plastic flower clips to pin flyaway's back and to add detail to my messy bun. They actually look really nice :)

P.S I'm liking my hair colour more now as I have got used to it :)

Also, no ones posts are coming up on my home page :(
Hopefully, they will come back, but for now I can not have my daily read :(

Garnier Nutrisse

£4.86

I dyed my hair yesterday with Garnier Nutrisse in shade 4 dark brown.
Was easy to apply, like any other dye really :) Except you don't have to wet your hair before with this one.
The colour pay off is good, looks exactly like it does on the box and also my hair is super shiny :)

I'm not sure whether I like it though. Its nothing to do with the actual dye itself. I just don't like it this dark. I think I should of got the shade golden dark brown instead :/
People at school seem to like it and my parents also do but I prefer my dark auburn locks instead of this shade of brown. I would prefer a chocolate brown which has warm red tones in it.

This is permanent but hopefully it will fade slightly. Apparently 'Ginger' hair doesn't take dye's as well as other hair colours so this should help the colour become less intense.
I'll wait for this one to fade out and go back to my natural hair colour. Hopefully I won't get horrific roots - If I do then I'll have to dye it a chestnut brown (Close to my natural hair colour) and then wait for my hair colour to come through. This way when the roots begin to grow, you will not see them.

Everyday Minerals Mint Colour Corrector

I got a sample size of this as part of a prize and the sample size is defiantly big enough - will last ages!

Price: Full size: $8, Sample size $2.50

What they say: 'This high-tech product is a favorite among makeup artists and those with blemishes, alike. That’s because the mint color neutralizes red, blemishes, broken capillaries, and ruddiness vanish behind this potent mineral formulation.'

What I say: When I first went to try this product out, I wasn't expecting much as I didn't think a light weight loose powder could do much or have a good coverage. I have red hair and on the bottom of my cheeks I have red patches of skin. I used this product and they disappeared! I also use it around blemishes and because it cancels out the red, they are barely noticeable. I love this product and when I have the money I want to try out a few more products from their range.

My Toes :)

As I've said previously, my camera has died so I have decided to draw you what my toe nails look like! (Paint over a picture) The colours you see are accurate to what the colours look like in real life as they do not have any shimmer in them.

^ Looks very similar to my toe nails.
The colours used are: Barry M Nail Paint in Limited Edition Pink & Collection 2000 Nail Polish in BMX Bandit.
Oh and some people might say that they are not symmetrical: They are not meant to be - Left foot pink toe nails with pink on the inside on the big toe nail and right foot blue toe nails with blue on the inside of the big toe nail.
:)
