Saturday Morning Haul

Today i had to go into town to post some nail polishes and wile i was there i decided i would do a little big of shopping. First was Boots where i got:
Rimmel Sun Shimmer in Light Matte which was on sale for 99p :) I have the light shimmer one and i love the colour but i really hate the shimmer so hopefully this will be perfect
A no.7 nail polish in Nougat which i will be reviewing soon on my nail polish blog Paint & Polish. This was also on sale for 99p :)
And then i picked up another 17 eyeshadow because i was sooo impressed with the first one i bought. This colour is Chalice which is a really pretty orangey/bronze colour.
And then to the factory shop:

i got this YSL lengthening mascara which is waterproof so it should be good for my holiday. The sticker said it should have been £21.00 but i got it for £10.00 :) It's the same place where i got the Calvin Klein nail polish the other week for like £3.00 :)
This is a close up of the wand:

And then in the post yesterday i got this book from Waterstones because i love the film and the plan was to save it for my holiday but i've already read like 80 pages :) it's really really good so if you are looking for a book i would recommend this one!

And then finally another magazine to add to the collection :) which came with a free Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream. That is the third hand cream i have got free in a magazine this year so i think i am going to do like a review of them all.

What have you been buying this weekend??

Favourite Reads TAG

I found this tag on Ellie's Blog
I've always liked reading but just recently I've really got into it because I've been off school and had nothing constructive to do. It has however meant that I've been up quite late (5am is the current record) because some of the stuff I've been reading is just sooooo good. This tag is to list my favourite books that I've ever read. I'd love to know your opinion if you have read any of these or if reading my review has made you go out and try them.

  1. Meg Cabot - Every Boy's Got One You will guess from this tag that Meg Cabot is probably my favourite writer. The obsession started with the Princess Diaries but then as i got older i started reading her adult books. This book is really good as a holiday read because it's about a couple that elope and their best friends fall in love while their there. it's sooo lovely.
  2. Meg Cabot - Queen of Babble I love this series of books because the main character is soooo funny! and i also feel like i can relate to her because she wants to be a wedding dress designer and i one day want to be a fashion designer.
  3. Stephenie Meyer - The Twilight series OMG! if you have read any of my previous post's you probably know i love twilight. I've pictured new moon in this post because it's my favourite out of all of them.
  4. Greg & Liz - He's Just Not That Into You this has changed my out look on relationships sooo much. If your in the UK go and pick up the august edition of Glamour magazine because the book is free in it. It really shows you that if a guy is doing something or not doing something HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. I really want to see the film after reading this
  5. Meg Cabot - The Princess Diaries series i grew up reading these books and love alll of the characters. I think if you are between about 11-15 or you know someone that is, i really recommend these books. There nothing like the Disney film so if that put you off at all don't worry.

Lincoln Haul ... Again

Ok well my prom is on Saturday so me and my Friend Josh made a last minute dash to Lincoln the other day because i needed shoes and a bag and he needed a whole suit. Luckily we both got what we went for :)


I got this bag in primark for £6 because it was the only bag i could find that would be big enough to carry everything i want to take with me, and i'm sure i'll use it again.

I got these shoes from Evans which isn't usually a place i shop, but i was returning a pair of leggings for my mum and decided to check out the shoe section while i was there. These were in the sale for £7 down from £30 :) and the heel isn't too high which is good because I'm really bad at walking in heels.


I've always wanted to try Vitamin Water but never found a bottle of it in any shops near me, so when i saw it in boots i grabbed the lemonade one and OMG! it's delish :)


I got the Barry M nail paint and the Maybelline foundation in Superdrug and then the Two Natural Collection items in Boots.

Lincoln Haul

So i went to Lincoln on Tuesday with my friend to pick up some prom decorations which took like and hour and 1/2 in one shop ... but after we were done we went into town and i picked up a few bits and pieces ... none of which was make-up :S i think i'm just going through a phase of being happy using what i have ... but i'm sure this will soon pass.

I buy Marie Claire every month (check out my magazine collection) and i was really happy that it came with a free book because I've recently really got into reading :)

I finished this last night at about 4am and CANNOT wait to get my hands on breaking dawn ... one of my friends already told me what happens but i don't mind knowing because i dont think it will ruin the book :)

I got this bracelet in primark for like £2.00 i think and i really like it :)

I've had these shoes in black for moths and ever since i got them i wished i'de picked up the brown ones too so when i was in primark i got them :) they were £4.00

I got these earrings for £1.50 from primark and am so glad i did because other wise i would have bought the ones from River Island that look the same but are £7.99
