OOTD

This morning was a dark rainy one so excuse the lighting.

Light pink T-shirt, Navy cardigan and Dark blue jeans all from Primark :)
I also forgot to put my white pumps on but their from Newlook.

I didn't intend to but my make-up coordinated with what I was wearing today (Can not show you a picture because it wouldn't show up).
I wore a light pink blush (NYC Mosaic Powder) with a light pink shimmering highlight (ELF's All All Color Stick in Lilac Petal) and on my eyes I wore a navy eyeliner. I actually used a black eyeliner with my Avon Arabian Glow Eyeshadow Pencil in Vivacious Turquoise (A bright blue) to create a navy colour. I am really liking this colour on my eyes and have wore it for the past week. It's not as boring as black but still goes with many things.
I want to get Barry M's Intense Eyeliner Pens in Royal Blue and Dark Emerald as both of these look like great alternatives to black.

This time last year..

A couple of people have posted about leaving school last year as there are some bloggers who are coming to the end of year 11!
A wholeee year ago I left.. it's gone so quick.

We had a leavers day where we dressed up:
Grace and I went as smurfs and I have never got so much attention in my life!
We then had our leavers assembly. One part of it was a video of our year from year 7 through to year 11, but the guys who made it in our year hardly included anyone but themselves, the sods.
We all cried our hearts out at the end, which was funny because we were all going to see each other in a few days for an exam and then we had prom.
I was actually crying because Grace was moving up north and it was her last day :( but then after a few months she came back! :D

Onto prom, here is my dress:


I got this hand made by a very talented lady in Callington and it cost me £60! How cheap is that! Two of my friends also got their dresses made by her and even the most expensive one cost under £80 ha

I've cropped my head out of the second one because I didn't like the way I looked on prom :( I got a HUGE spot right in the middle of my head a few days before.. typical. I also didn't like my hair. I had to put my fringe across my head a fair bit to cover the spot :(
The 'popular' girls looked amazing.. I wish I had some gorgeous prom pictures but quite frankly I looked terrible. This definitely ruined my day.

Apart from that, the day was good :)
To all the year 11's with their prom's coming up, have fun!

Ramblings!

So first of all, I am very proud of myself as I have just done 2 hours of Psychology revision! This might not sound like much, but I haven't been doing much revision as I haven't had the motivation. I have an exam tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday so I really have to revise.. I know I know, leaving most of it till last minute is bad. What I've been doing today is: 1 hour of revision, 1 hour free, 1 hour of revision, 1 hour free etc which doesn't make it seem too bad. As you can tell, I'm on an hour free now!
After this is 2 hours of Media and 2 hours of Biology.. Boo!

I'm glad it's raining, for once! With all the nice weather we have been having, I didn't want to revise, just relax in the sun but with it raining, I am actually doing work lol

Do you ever get it when you want to review a product straight away but can't because you've only been using it a few days? I've been using BodyShop's Facial Cleansing Bar for a few days and love it so much I want to write a review now but I can't because it wouldn't be a fair trial. I've wrote down all the points about the product and am ready to write the review but I'm going to leave it another week, just in case a bad point about it becomes apparent.

I haven't wrote a post since Friday because Saturday I was at a wedding all day, yesterday I ATTEMPTED revision.. it never happened ha and most of the posts on my to do list are reviews and I need to have a good few weeks using the products before I give my opinion on them.

Oh, look at this!:
It's a freaking HUGE cucumber! It looks so much bigger in real life.. I was amazed so I took a picture 8)

That's about it really, buh-bye my lovelies!

Collective shopping

I love reading haul posts; to find great bargains, to see what is currently in stores, to decide what to buy next and if there is anything that I've been 'umming and arring' about, they usually make my mind up on whether to buy it! Here is what I have purchased in the last two weeks:

BodyShop had 30% off for bank holiday weekend woooo!
I could have ordered soooo much (Their eyeshadows and make-up brushes are great. Their lipstain is also one of my favourite lip products) but unfortunately I'm a wee bit skint at the moment. I couldn't even spend £15 to get free delivery because I didn't have that much in my bank! Bad times.
First of all I went to their lipcare, saw their lipbalms and thought 'Omg, down to £1.40, I have to have them alllll!' *Add to basket, add to basket...* but I then remembered I didn't have enough money to buy dozens of lipbalms and lip butters :( The funny thing is, I rarely wear any lip products, including lipbalms but their still an addiction of mine and when I have the money, I shall be buying quite a few of them hehe

My order was dispatched Wednesday and came Thursday! So much for 'if you paid for standard delivery, your items should take 5 days to arrive'. Express delivery takes 2 days and mine came before that!

So here's what I bought:
Passion fruit facial cleansing gel £2.79 (normal price £3.99), Vitamin E facial cleansing bar £1.75 (normal price £2.50), Facial brush with lid £2.10 (normal price £3), Double ended blackhead remover £2.10 (normal price £3)


Next up is Newlook
I ordered Wednesday, expecting them to arrive Saturday like most of my orders have (3 days) but nope! and because of bank holiday Monday, I had to wait until Tuesday!

White pumps £6, White metallic lace dolly shoes £14 - I normally wouldn't pay this much for a pair of dolly shoes but their to wear for a special occasion.


Primark:
Light wash mini shorts £7 - I really like these!, Briefs £4 - I normally buy shorts or thongs but I thought I'd go for a change.

Shorts £5. These are for my dad as part of his fathers day present. He doesn't like getting presents because he'd rather I spend the money on myself but I still do anyway. He doesn't like expensive brands (he likes a good bargain ;) and if I did buy him something expensive, he wouldn't be happy and would want me to return it haha. I bought him a pair of these a few weeks ago in a different design and he loves them so I thought I'd get him another pair.
As for the other part of his present, I'm not sure.. he's trying to get fit so that means no chocolate.. but I might buy him Chinese; he won't say no to that :P

Tesco:
Just a few essentials :)
Cotton wool pads 55p each, Nivea facial cleansing wipes £1.49 (half price), Dove deodorant stick £1.99


Boots:
I have £7 something on my advantage card :D Man it took a while to get that much. A while ago my friend bought a £40 perfume and she put all the points on my card as she doesn't have one. That built my points up a fair bit! Plus they also have deals like: spend £5 on so and so and get 250 points.
I was going to buy a Barry M eyeliner, two Rimmel nail polishes and a few things from Natural Collection (I want to try Apple Blossom lipstick to see if nudes suit me) but one of my Boots are always low on stock with half the shelves are empty and my other Boots only has a few stands of make-up :(

Feet of the week!

Like my assonance there ^ ;)

Barry M's Pure Turquoise 295 and Pink Flamingo 305

You're probably bored of seeing Barry M nail paints.. I am a little. But I wanted two nail polishes with the same finish or else it would look weird (haha and this doesn't? :P). Most of Barry M's nail paints (apart from the glitters and a few shimmers they have) are a cream finish (The six I have are) so they go well together.

Ins and Outs

Yes this is a lazy post, but I have to revise in a minute! Plus, I like reading the Ins and Outs of other peoples lives. Nosy?.. yes but we all love to be!

In:
  • Got a new silver frame bed! Well it's not actually new, it's from the attic haha but it's new to me. My last bed broke :( so me and my dad put this one up yesterday.
  • Changed my room around - as I was changing my bed I thought I would change a few things too. My make-up storage area has changed and looks much better.
  • Clutter free desk to actually work at! Before it had all my folders and school stuff on but their now under the desk.
  • Fast deliveries. My BodyShop items were dispatched yesterday and arrived today! So much for 'If you've payed for standard delivery, your items should arrive to you in 5 days'. Express delivery (The more expensive one) takes two days and mine arrived in one. Whatever delivery option you choose, your order will still arrive the same time, they just want to make more money!
Tomorrow I have a collective shopping post for you guys which will include The Bodyshop items.


Out:
  • Revision <- Don't need to explain that one!
  • 'Friends' - I've got used to not being invited to things and I'm giving up on them. I've got a couple of true friends who don't forget about me just to be popular and be in with another group so their all I need. I really don't care how many friends I've got, I've been happy these past few weeks and I've seen nobody - haha I sound like such an unsocial loser.

Outfit for Saturday

This is what I am wearing to my aunty's wedding on Saturday:


Dress: Boohoo, cardigan: Peacocks, dolly shoes: New Look

I'm not keen on wearing the dolly shoes, but I haven't got the money to buy a pair of heels. Plus, we're going on the moors to take photo's, so these will be more comfy (they're new though, so they're hurting my feet a bit!)
