Amy Haul.

I love buying Amy new clothes and will always jump at the chance of a bargain. 

Tk maxx
Both the long sleeved pink t-shirt and the comic relief t-shirt are designed by Stella Mcartney. What a bargain, both for under £6. We just had to buy the Beatles t-shirt to add to her little collection. I think this is her 4th Beatles t-shirt. Her daddy is a huge fan. Plus, i think Comic Relief is such a great organisation. 

Stella Mcartney T-shirt - 5.99, Comic Relief T-shirt - £5.99, Roxy Hoodie - £4.99

Primark 
Primark have most of their spring wear out now. As much as i love seeing all the nice clothing, i do think it is a little too early as i am looking for a new coat and all there is, is blazers or jackets. I want to be warm and dry thanks. Anyway, i picked this little outfit up for Amy as she is going to a birthday party on Sunday. I didn't want to buy her a dress as its a wacky warehouse and she needs to be able to run around without tripping. I couldn't not leave without these socks. I want some for myself.


Socks - £2.00, Pumps - £2.50, Leggings - £2.00, Shirt - £6.00

Jack Wills Gift Haul.

Firstly, please excuse the appearance of this post. If it looks a little rubbish its because I'm trying something new. If it doesn't work well I won't do I again :)

So, last week the fiance ventured off to Glasgow, Amy stayed at her grandparents and I had a girly night in with Sam. The fella returned with some goodies for me :) I thought I'd show you what he got. I love them all!

He got my a cropped sleeved jumper. I love this. It is so comfy and easy to wear. It isn't too obvious it's Jack Wills like the hoodies as it has a simple little logo on the pocket.

A nail varnish in Orchid. It is a beautiful purple colour. Once 2 coats are applied it gives you a gorgeous shiny finish. I will do a more detailed review on it sometime.

As tradition, for some reason when Paul goes to Scotland he brings me back some socks. These are so pretty :)

Mini Collection 2000 Haul + Mini Review.

Today i have just a mini Collection 2000 haul. All of these items were purchased for me, by my boyfriend from Morrison's. 

The first product i picked up is this little beauty. 
Its called "Cream Puff. Moisturising Lip Cream" in the shade Cotton Candy 1. 
It is a pink raspberry colour and has the consistency of a thick lip gloss when first applied to your lips. However, once applied it changes into the consistency of a Lip Stick. 
This retails for around £2.99


I really love the colour and i think it suits my skin tone. It stays on for a long time and does feel very moisturising. The only downside is that after a while it can make your lips look very dry, this can be easily solved by putting a bit of clear lip gloss or lip balm over the top. I would recommend patting it on with your finger or the colour will transfer to your clear product. 




The next thing was actually a freebie. It is the "Extreme 25 hour Felt Tip Liner". If you purchased their new mascara then this came free. I'm not sure if this is the offer in any store, but its the offer Morrison's currently have on. I chose the colour purple because i have tons of black eyeliners and i just don't need anymore. You also have the option of blue, but i much prefer the purple with my hazel eyes.
As it describes on the packaging, it is a felt tip liner. As you can see it is fairly pigmented and you can make any thickness of lines. It is a toughy to remove though, so it definitley lives up to the '24 hour' labelling. This product goes on so easy. It is very similar to the ELF felt tip liner, which i have in black 




This is their new mascara. It promises to Provide 14x more volume with a single swoop. The brush is made from rubber. 
                                       
Apologies for the blurry picture. For some reason it just wouldn't focus. You can just tell that i have very fine eyelashes. 
 This is how well the mascara has lengthened my eyelashes. You don't need a lot and this only took 1 application. It does not look clumpy or too thick. This is definitely going to be my new go to mascara, and new favourite. Strangely i cannot find this on the Boots or Superdrug website and i have thrown away my receipt but i think this retails for £4 or £5.


Also, i decided to jump on the band waggon with the Lasting Perfection Concealer. I don't really use concealer that often so i just thought id give this a go. My shade is 1 Fair.
After using this twice, i don't see they hype that much. To me, it is just the same as any other concealer i have tried, tested and hated. I am going to persevere with it. When i first apply it to my skin and blend it in, it just seems to sit there and not blend properly. If i keep trying to blend it in anymore, i am just going to be removing the product. The 2nd time i used it, i blended it a little and then left it to see if it would sink in to my skin. I did, and it looks OK and matches my skin tone. It eventually does what a concealer is supposed to do. I am going to keep trying with it, i usually put it on top of my foundation and primer. However next time i will apply it before i apply my foundation. This retails for around £4.19
