My Random Shopping Haul (Pt 2)...

Hi, so this is Part 2 - I hope you like it!

 



 

 

One of the first places I went to was Boots (the shops aren't in order) and I was mainly going there so I could get a few things I needed but I will show you what I got anyway.

 

 

I first headed off to the Collection counter because that's where most of my daily makeup comes from. Although I haven't included Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear powder in any of my Beauty Obsessions posts, this is my go-to powder. It isn't much different to the Collection Pressed Powder but I find that it does stay on for a little longer which is good I guess because at least it lives up to its name!

 

I also got a Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear foundation. You might be surprised because usually I don't like wearing foundations because they feel too heavy no matter how light they're meant feel however with this foundation, I just instantly clicked. It is in a bottle and has a pump and is more liquidier (which isn't even a word!) so I think that is what I like in a foundation as all of the other ones I've tried are in a tube and they are more like a mousse. Don't be surprised if this is in my next Beauty Obsessions post!

 

 

At the end of the aisle, I saw a small Seventeen nail polish stand and I quite liked the look of them. The nail polish collection is called Colour Carnival by Seventeen. This was a colour I really liked, it is a sort of pinkish-purplish colour (no idea how to describe it!?) - hang on, I've just located the name of this colour - it is called Rose Pink. Which means it probably is rose pink!

 

The next thing I spotted was a Balmi lip balm. You have no idea how long I have been searching for these! The first time I had one was when I got it from Tesco, a while ago now, I'd accidently screwed the lid on too much and after that the lid wouldn't stay on properly. I was then stupid enough to put it in my handbag and when I took it out, the lid had separated from the bottom-half of the lip balm so the lip balm had been smeared around the rest of my things in the bag and was completely destroyed. Anyway, this one is a bit different from last time, it is purple and tastes like blackcurrant which I thought sounded really nice.

 

 

The last couple of things I got in Boots were hand moisturisers. This one was the Fast Absorbing Hand Cream by Neutrogena. I think I used to have a tiny tube of this before so when I saw this I knew it would be good. I also needed a good moisturiser because this winter my hands have been particularly dry and I've been really bad at putting it on.

 

 

I got a mini moisturiser as well. This one is Atrixo Enriched Moisturising Cream. I got it mainly so I could take it out with me because it is so small. It also has a bit of camomile in and I don't know what that does but it makes it sound better to me! Is that weird? :)

 

 

Then I went to Primark!!!

(I don't know why I put 3 exclamation marks there, I got excited for no reason...)

 

 

I got 2 dresses. The first dress was this one with butterflies and flowers printed all over it. It also has a belt that goes with it which I thought was nice. The material is a bit different to most dress fabrics, it is quite sheer but it has an inside lining.

 

The second one was a white skater dress and the top part of the dress has a flower pattern stitched onto it but the inside of the petals has holes. I like skater skirts/dresses because I am quite short and I think that personally my body shape looks better with that type of dress.

 

 

I'm mad about anything and everything Disney, so when I spotted a whole row of T-Shirts with Disney-themes on them, I rushed over there! It was between this one (of the Disney palace and "Live in the dream" on it) or another one with a cartoon Elsa and "Let it go" on it. I decided this one because it is more general Disney and I already have an Olaf jumper. :)

 

At some point in March (no idea exactly when?!) I am going to Italy on a school trip and I needed a bag for hand luggage so I found this really cool checked rucksack which has a front pocket and a main compartment. I have never been abroad before and I've also never been on a plane so I am very excited/nervous! So if you have been abroad,gone on an aeroplane or been to Italy (or even live in Italy) please let me know in the comments.

 

The last item of clothing I got in Primark was a stripy over-sized jumper. Not that I got it in a big size (I got it in small) but because it is meant to be quite baggy. I love wearing it as it's very casual and cosy. It's also good for long car journeys as I found out on Friday!

 

That was Part 2, I will be posting very soon again for all you amazing viewers and until next time - bye xx **Who has heard Jessie J's new song Masterpiece? I think its really cool and means a lot!**

My Random Shopping Haul (Pt 1)...

Hi my lovely people! Its half-term - yay! (at least in the UK it is...) So sorry that I didn't post over the weekend like I usually do but I was busy, in fact one of the reasons I couldn't post sooner was to make this post so be grateful! ;)

Btw, yes, I know it was Valentine's Day over the weekend so Happy Valentine's to you all but I'm not in love so I didn't need to celebrate it, instead I had a date with food! Yum. Anyway, today I'm going to talk about a ginormous shopping haul I did on Saturday, lets get started...

 

 

 

First up is Ryman's...

 

 

I originally went into Ryman's to look for a pencil case but I didn't actually manage to find a pencil case so instead I bought a few stationary things. I found a whole pot full of puzzle erasers and I just love them. I already have a cat one and other animal ones but not a food one. For some strange reason, I like anything that looks like food or tastes like food but isn't actually that food - I know, weird but I do. So I got a ice cream one! Can I just ask - why does it say 'Sweet Corn' on the outside of the cone? If you know then please tell me!

 

 

I'm really sorry - I had to! It was literally calling me to get me to buy it! Yes, I got a One Direction multi-colour pen. Only because I had one exactly like it before it ran out and this pen has more recent images of the band members. I have no more to say about it. :)

 

 

The last thing I got in Ryman's was a Red Nose Day pen with one of the red noses (Snorbit) for this year on top of it. Ryman is doing pens this year for Comic Relief and you can buy the pens for £1 and if you want you can donate as much as you want for the charity as well.

 

 

 

After Ryman's, I went to Wilkinson's...

 

 

Wilkinson's was where I ended up getting my new pencil case for school. I think it's quite cool because it is really fun and bright and it has 'Fly so high' with hot air balloons on the front.

 

 

I got myself a organiser as well which I think will be helpful as nowadays I have so much to do everyday and my time management is horrendous so hopefully it will come in useful! It has a section for planning the week ahead, a notes sections, a section for making lists and an address section. It also goes with a folder I already have, that thinking about it now, is probably in the same line of stationary.

 

 

Lastly in Wilko's, I got a pack of pens, I know not very interesting but for those of you who I keep asking for a pen, you should be interested. I'm owning up to being one of those people in school who you sometimes hate because they ask to borrow your pen and you never get it back again! I'm sorry!

 

 

I also went into Game...

 

 

...And I finally bought the newest Just Dance!!! Yay! I kept wanting it and Christmas had passed, my birthday had passed, and I hadn't got it yet. So with some of the money I got for Christmas and birthday, I bought Just Dance 2015 myself. It has lots of cool songs like Maps, Bang Bang and She Looks So Perfect as well as some (dare I say it) very cheesy songs like Don't Worry Be Happy and Ain't No Mountain High Enough. I'm also planning on trying it out this afternoon so I will tell you my thoughts on it next post.

 

That was Part 1 of my Random Shopping Haul, I shall post very, very soon! Byeee xx **Comment below if you have Just Dance 2015. What do you think about it? Also please check out any of the Red Nose Day merch while your out shopping because it is helping a great and well known cause.**

What I've been up to for my birthday...

Hello, I am back and raring to go! I am really sorry, I have literally had no time whatsoever in the last 2 weeks that I could put up a new post.
 

Last weekend, I celebrated one of my friends birthday because hers was on Monday. We had a sleepover Friday night into Saturday and we went out for the whole day. Then on Sunday, I went to my grandparents' for the day. And the weekend before that was my birthday (as you might've guessed from all the hints I've been giving you) so I was busy while having my birthday - I guess!

 

But enough about what I did because that's what this whole post is about!

 

 

On the Friday before my birthday, I had a lot of my friends over for a huge sleepover and we all slept (well, not all of us slept!) in the living room/lounge, I don't know what you call it. We did some challenges like chubbie bunnies and I'm really sad to say I only fitted 3 in while one of my friends managed 6 marshmallows! We also had a mini movie marathon which ended up with only watching 3 films but they were really good films like Mean Girls, Fault In Our Stars and Wild Child. It was definitely fun and I hope everyone else thought the same! :)

 

 

At the sleepover I got a lot of makeup stuff which I loved because you can't have enough makeup in my opinion! I'm not going to give you a picture of the makeup I got because there is too much to show but you will be seeing them on my blog at some point in the year as they are really cool. Instead, enjoy this lovely picture of a gift bag one of my presents came in - I'm sorry I just think it's so pretty!

 

 

 

I got a few other presents from my friends that I thought were different like the Reed Freshener thingy from one of my friends.  I love the smell of it and I like the bottle it gives you because I've seen other ones but they aren't extremely pretty, they are just like normal glass bottles whereas this one is a cube shape and has gems around the lid and there is a silver encrusted bead on one of the reeds. I also got a handmade key ring from another friend which I thought was really cute and obviously - it is One Direction! I can only show you one side of the key ring because the other side has my name on and I'm meant to be anonymous!

 

 

On Sunday 25th it was my birthday - yay! The week before, me and my brother chose our birthday cakes and these are our cakes. You should be able to guess which one was mine but if you don't know, it is the One Direction one while my brother had a sweetie cake. I managed to get a photo of the candle flame-fountain while it was on my cake. It was quite scary when it was lit!

 

 

I know this picture is atrociously bad but I never knew until my birthday that if you have a Google account, on your birthday they give you a special picture on the homepage and when you hover over it with your mouse, it says "Happy birthday -------".

 

 

One of my presents I got on my birthday was a box full of Body Shop products. I absolutely love Body Shop so I decided to put on my Christmas/birthday list that I wanted some Body Shop stuff. I got the special Christmas edition polar bear bath sponge which every time I went into Body Shop I wanted. I got a pack of 4 different fruity shower gels and a lollypop with 5 fruity lip balms. I can't remember what the shower gels were called but the lip balms were Passion berry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Watermelon and Tangerine Shimmer.

 

 

I got a couple of DVDs as well which were Maleficent, which I have watched in the cinema before but I wanted the DVD of it too and I also got the Fault In Our Stars DVD.

 

 

Last but not least, I finally got Zoella's book Girl Online!!! I'm really excited about reading it because all my friends got it before me so I was just like, "No spoiler alerts please, I have to wait until my birthday!" Luckily I did get it and I can't wait to read it after I've finished reading Fault In Our Stars for the 2nd time now.

 

That was today's post. Hopefully, now you understand that I haven't just been ignoring you my lovely viewers. I hope you enjoyed it and I will post soon xx **The song I've been really obsessed with is Wish You Were Mine by Philip George and I think the video for it is cool too.**



My Latest Beauty Obsessions...

Hi again! Its  basically halfway through the month and I realised that I hadn't done a Latest Beauty Obsessions post in a long while so that's what this post is about!

 

 

This is the Look Beauty Mini Makeover Palette, Rock Chic and I got it as a Christmas/birthday present from a friend. I absolutely love it! It is very compact and you could just tuck it into your handbag very quickly. Inside, it has 8 eye shadows, 4 lipsticks, 1 blusher and a little mirror. I have to say that I honestly would wear all of these colours on my eyes and lips! <3

 

 

I am really enjoying these body fragrances from So...?. All of the scents are really nice and I am especially liking the So...? Kiss Me one. I'm not even going to try to explain what it smells like because I'm totally rubbish at describing stuff like that. But what I am going to say is this - "So let me kiss you!" Hopefully that says enough about that! (Guess the song, comment below.)

 

 

Recently, I've been drying my hair in the mornings after showering when I have time and I found this with all my other hair products and started using it (I hadn't actually tried it out until then). It is the John Frieda Frizz Ease, Heat Defeat Protecting Spray. I really recommend this, it's meant to protect your hair to up to 200 degrees and it helps seal hair and prevent breakage. I also use it when I'm curling my hair sometimes.

 

 

And I end with a Body Shop product! I am usually very impressed with Body Shop products and this is no exception, it is the Coconut Body Milk and it is basically a runny version of a moisturiser (hence the word 'milk'). You just drop a little of it onto your hands and it absorbs quite quickly. I was in there, looking for a couple of new products I could try out and I picked it out. It smells delicious to me but if your not a big fan of coconut then may I suggest you don't pick this scent and there are some other nice scents if I remember correctly!

 

That was my little contribution to the big wide world of all things beauty and I will be posting again hopefully very soon! Bye for now xx **How many of you have these products and do you like them as much as I do? Comment below. Only a week till my bday!**



The huge tidy up...

Hello - its the weekend!!! So, one of my new year's resolutions was to keep more tidy than I usually am so after Christmas I had a huge tidy up of my bedroom and I wanted to show you what I did...

 

 

First up was my make-up. For Christmas, one of my presents was a big make-up box so I could organise my all of my make-up into it instead of what I was doing before, which was stuffing as much of it as I could into a big drawer that also had bath/shower stuff in. It feels amazing (call me weird if you want!) to just be able to have all my make-up in one place, take the box out and open it to have all my make-up in front of me.

 

 

This is the drawer that I had all my make-up and bath/shower things stuffed into it - but not any more! From now on it is the bath/shower drawer and nothing else! To be honest, I don't know how on earth I managed to cram everything inside it because I can only just fit the things I have in there now.

 

 

I then organised my DVDs into one of two baskets that I got a while ago from Dunelm and sorted them into what films I watch the most (yes, I have the One Direction Where We Are concert DVD but I'm a directioner so expect no less!). This is the medium size basket as there were three different sizes that matched each other and I have the small size one as well.

 

 

 I also tidied up my bookshelves because I have a lot of books (not a lot to explain really) and mainly the top shelf which has all of my music stuff like trying to fit all my CDs into a very limited space.

 

 

Then I moved onto my desk - which is a regular mess! I don't have enough room for all of my hair things where I keep all of my hairbands and stuff like that so I keep my sprays and brush/combs on the edge of my desk in a little 'basket thingy' that I got one Christmas. I like to think that it kind of matches my baskets from Dunelm but whatever.

 

 

The second basket holds the stationary I use all the time if I'm doing my homework, just writing notes or planning my next blog post (a lot of effort goes into this, you know!). It fits just into one of the small spaces in my desk which means I don't have to find space elsewhere and there is no space elsewhere so its just as well! And yes, I have a Disney pen - no, I've never been to Disneyland but every time someone I know goes there they get me something because I love Disney. <3

 

This is the main part of my desk, at the back of it there's meant to be a magnet board but I like covering it up with posters for decoration and then I put my actual magnets in the little space I've actually left for them! At the top of my desk, which you can only just see in the photo, I've strung origami lights up. They are exactly what you think they are, unless you are thinking the complete opposite of origami and lights put together, in which case you are completely wrong. I have a desk light and a lava lamp on my desk too (if you were wondering, that is the only Hello Kitty thing I own so don't judge me!).

 

 

Lastly, I tidied up my wardrobe. The dreaded wardrobe. The top half of it that day was surprisingly ok to tidy but I wanted to separate the clothes into little sections (being like the sad person I am). I always halve my wardrobe into school clothes and non-uniform clothes but I don't normally go any further than that so I had a section with uniform and P.E clothes then I separated my normal clothes into skirts, trousers, tops, dresses and jackets. I think I was feeling very organised that day! :)

 

Finally, I faced the bottom part of the wardrobe. The worst part. That is usually one of the messiest places in my bedroom and my whole room is (or was) quite messy. It helps that I had a whole set of 4 baskets that just fitted into the bottom of my wardrobe otherwise who knows how I'd keep it tidy! I put all my pyjamas in the large basket, my slipper socks in the medium one and in the two small ones I put my belts and I don't know what was in the other one. I also have a shoe box that I keep all my small sport stuff in like shin-pads that I've grown out of and a gum shield that needs re-moulding (if I ever use it, I haven't even used it before) because I've got braces.

 

You're probably going to be really shocked especially if you don't know me but this all took a week to tidy and I have quite a small bedroom if you hadn't already guessed from the photos. Also, I've just realised how many of those photos have got 1D stuff in. Well, that was all for this post and I will post soon. 'Til then, bye! xx **How big/small is your bedroom? Comment below. 15 days until my birthday!**



10 things I did over Christmas...

Hello peeps! :) Its nearly time to go back to school (which I'm dreading...) so I thought I'd tell you what I did over the christmas hols!

 

 

 

 

I put up the Christmas tree with my family at the beginning of the holidays!

 

 

We put up all the cards we got all around the living room - we had 107 Christmas cards this year! (No, I didn't count them, my dad did)

 

 

I made a Christmas cake all by myself (so proud lol) for the whole family.

 

 

I repeatedly watched Ariana Grande's new song Santa Tell Me  - I'm actually serious when I say this, that it is one of the best Christmas songs for a while and I loved the video!

 

 

Been having some scented candles out specially for Christmas, I think this one was apple and cinnamon but it smelt so delicious! <3

 

 

I've been stuffing myself with mince pies and apple pies but I couldn't help it - they were too good not to eat!

 

 

The guinea pigs, Caramel (behind) and Lolly (front) have been enjoying some leftovers!

 

 

I got a remote-control candle that I could have in my bedroom (my room is small so I'm not allowed real candles in case it sets alight) and it glows different colours!

 

 

I got a new camera!!! I've been wanting one so I can download my photos for my blog onto my laptop easier because it is difficult searching through all my phone's files to get to the pics that I want. Also, I can get better quality of photos too!

 

 

I went to the Next Clearance sale and I bought some really cool boots plus they're high heels which means when I wear them I suddenly feel taller - magic!

 

That was my first post of the year and I hope you liked it! I don't know how many exclamation marks I've put in this post but it is definitely a lot and I know I put lots in all my posts - I think we should use a counter for the number of exclamation marks I put in! ;) Post soon and that's a promise as its a new year's resolution. **Comment what you did over Christmas below and its 23 days until my birthday!**
