Accessorize Make-up

I finally bought some Accessorize make-up! I was a bit apprehensive as when non-make-up related stores bring out their own range of products, they can be a little shoddy. I LOVE the two products I picked up and am definitely going to be purchasing more!

Blush in Pretty Pink £5


Eyeshadow in Champagne £4

Swatches:

You get a whopping 8g of blush and 2.5g of eyeshadow which is great value for money. The blush is a blush and highlight in one and gives the most beautiful glow. I haven't seen many reviews on the eyeshadow which is surprising as it's the perfect highlight. Champagne is very pigmented and again, gives a lovely glow. Both products feel creamy and blend easily.

I'm definitely going to be purchasing a few more products; Starlet blush, High Maintenance duo eyeshadow and Golden Sands bronzer (This is also a fantastic highlight, I cannot get enough of them!)

One extra purchase

I went in town this morning and what I bought is in the previous post but I had to go back in. My sister wanted to return the coat she bought and being the good sister I am (:P), went in with her. I popped into Accessorize and saw this purse, but left without it. At the bus stop I regretted not buying it so we quickly went back. It was £7.50 down from £15.

I've been looking for a diary for weeks! I'm so fussy. Finally found this one and I love it :)

Boots:
Botanics Golden Glow Body Lotion £2.99 (Free as it was 3 for 2), Botanics Pore Perfecting Toner £2.99, Botanics Pore Perfecting Deep Clean Mousse £3.99, Palmers Cocoa Butter Stick £2.69.
I have quite a lot of skincare products but I thought I'd try the Botanics range out as I've read tons of amazing reviews. The Palmers stick was just something I wanted!

The Accessorize eyeshadow and blush give an amazing glow. The eyeshadow is the perfect highlight.

The shower thingy's (Bath lilies, body mops or whatever) have 'suckers' on them which come in very handy!

Online I've ordered a Boots Extracts gift set containing 5 yummy 50ml body butters. This was half price, £5.

And from The Body Shop, I've ordered the large strawberry holdall which was £14 down from £35.

I need a coat, cardigans, shoes and camera, but they're for another day!

Wavy Hair

I used to wear my hair wavy quite a lot but then I had it cut and couldn't achieve the same look. My hair is now long again so I can. I plait it at night in 4-6 sections and then take it out in the morning. With this hair style, I can do my hair in 20 seconds, saving a lot of time!

Christmas Nails

Earlier on in the week my nails were painted red but they got completely ruined as I have been decorating my room (Wrong time I know, I just couldn't wait!). Last night I couldn't be bothered to paint them with another red because it's the one colour that takes me a while to paint. I've also worn different shades of reds for two weeks so wanted something different.

George (Asda) nail polish in Warrior.

It's the only goldish colour I have but I really like it as it's subtle and not tacky.

The storage I ordered from WHSmith just arrived! I quickly took some photos because I was excited to show you haha

The Blossom drawers were £14.99 and the Bounce shoe box was £6.99.

Oh and they are not going to be placed on the shelf like in the photos, I'm just in the middle of decorating my room!

The box is huge! But fits everything in nicely :)

Another long bronze necklace!


This is my third long bronze necklace from eBay, the others being this one (Owl) and this one (Pocket watch). I wear the owl and pocket watch necklaces all the time!
This one cost £3.50 and I think the flower design is cute. I'm not too sure on the peace sign inside though, but all I have to do is not open it!
This necklace, along with the pocket watch one is from this seller: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idealway11/
