I'm lusting after...

1) Superdrug Effects Cool Blonde - I've just ombred my hair (pics to come soon) and the ends are quite a brassy orange so I've been desperate to get this to tone it down a bit but it's sold out online AND in my local shop!!

2) Matalan satin plunge bra - I adore this bra, I think it's gorgeous and I love how Matalan has pictures of people wearing the bras. Creepy as it sounds, I like to see how boobs look in a bra before I buy (especially if I'm buying online).

3) Topshop blush in Afternoon Tea - Honestly? I just want it for the name.

4) Virtue Queen of Hearts stacking ring - I got one of the Virtue stacking rings for my birthday last month and I love it and unlike Pandora they do sizes small enough for my stupidly skinny fingers. I REALLY like this one but considering it's a heart, I don't think I can really buy it for myself. Might have to give the boyfriend a nudge!

5) Suede effects chunky cut out nude wedges - These wedges are from the Ebay shop I did a blog post about; Hidden Fashion. I think these are the perfect "I'm now 18 so need some clubbing heels that won't kill my feet" shoes!

6) Soap & Glory Mist You Madly - I got the body butter in this scent in a big gift set for Christmas about 3 years ago and it's the best thing I've EVER smelt so I've been meaning to get this ever since but always forget!

7) River Island Tshirt - My go to item at the moment is a boyfriend fit tshirt and the saying couldn't describe me better, I just wish it wasn't £15... can I really justify spending that on a tshirt that has such an ironic slogan?

8) Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser - I've read such good reviews of this cleanser and people have said it's as good as the Liz Earle one but I've been waiting for it to go on offer before buying it because for a Superdrug own brand product I think it's quite pricey (£5.99). It's half price at the moment so will have to make a trip to Superdrug soon.

9) Revlon Urban - Finally, I saw swatches of this nail polish on someone's blog and it reminded me how much I love really dark nail polishes, I think they really suit my pale skin. It's not exactly a summer colour but I can see myself living in this in the autumn/winter.

Pound World Haul

I love finding branded products in pound shops! I picked up these two Rimmel nail polishes in Pound World in colours Blue Lagoon which is a pale minty blue with tiny shimmery flecks and Tropical Temptation which is a pinkish coral colour. Perfect spring/summer colours!

Tropical temptation - excuse the fact it's all over my hand! I only took the picture to see what the quality was like on my boyfriend's camera and intended to take one for on here when I'd sorted them out but they started to chip pretty quick so I didn't get chance :(

I also picked up this NYC duo eye shadow in Heather Plum. I'm not sure why because I never where eye shadow, especially coloured eye shadow but I was just drawn to this! I actually really like it. The dark purple isn't as pigmented as I'd like it to be (I was hoping it would look so dark it was almost black) but I still really love it!

Finally, not from the pound shop, I purchased this L'oreal lipstick in Cheeky Magenta. These are £8.19 originally but it was in the reduced section of Superdrug because it had no top and had been used. I swatched it on my hand and it was so glossy and unlike any other colour I own that I decided I should  buy it and just cut the used top off. At only £1.50, I couldn't help myself!

MUA Love Hearts - Kiss Me

Soooo I really hate most lip products. I've been buying more lipsticks recently but I hate how drying they are and how after a few minutes you have to start worrying about whether you've smudged it or whether the lipstick on the middle of your lips has disappeared. Lip glosses are just sticky and lip balms never usually have much colour! So usually, I just don't bother. BUT I really liked the look of the MUA Love Hearts Lip Balms and for £2 I thought I may aswell give it a go! I picked Kiss Me because it was one of the brighter shades of pink and as I have quite dark lips I thought paler colours like Sweet Kiss and Sugar Lips, although because really pretty, probably just wouldn't show up on my lips.

As you can see, it DOES give my lips colour and its quite a sweet, girly pink rather than a bright pink, almost coral colour that it looks in the pot. When the glossyness has gone the colour seems to stay and I actually don't mind reapplying it every few hours because it's not sticky or annoying, I don't even notice it's there but it instantly gives colour to my face without me having to worry about how dry my lips look! I love it and now want to own them all!

MUA nail varnish haul

MUA nail varnish shade 8, 3 and 23

I've wanted a red nail varnish for absolutely ages. I think red looks amazing on nails no matter whether it's summer or winter but I've just never got round to buying one so made sure I got one when I placed my order! I actually really like this red (shade 8). It's more of a wine red than a coral red and I can't wait to wear it. Shade 3 is a pinky purple colour and I really like the colour against my skin tone! It's very similar to the love hearts U R FAB nail varnish (see below) but £1 instead of £2 and there really is little difference. Annoyingly I actually already own this and hadn't realised even though I was actually wearing it when I ordered so now have two! (You would think it's common sense to check before you order!) Shade 23 is a really nice muted khaki green colour. I don't own anything like this and it's not something I'd usually go for but after seeing pictures of other people wearing it I just couldn't help myself! I love it!

MUA Love Hearts nail varnish in I <3 U and U R FAB

All of the love hearts nail varnishes are so cute, I wanted them all. They're quite feminine and sophisticated. I <3 U is a really nice peachy nude but being pale takes a few coats. U R FAB is very similar to the shade 3 nail varnish (above picture) which is a little annoying but this one is a bit more of a muted colour so I think I prefer it.

MUA Squiggle Effect Magnetic Nails - Mayfair

This is actually the only magnetic nail varnish I own which considering I have a crazy nail varnish obsession and magnetic ones have been around for ages is kind of stupid really! I just can't really be bothered to be hovering a magnet over my nails after I've spent forever painting them but I really liked this one so I'm just going to have to put up with the faffing that comes with it! It's a metallic blue colour and I prefer the squiggle effect to the circle effect ones that they do. The photo doesn't show up the magnetic effect too well, it looked better before it dried!

MUA nail varnishes are quite possibly my favourite. They're affordable with most being only £1, they have a massive range of colours and they last ages without chipping. I've had U R FAB on for almost a week now and it's only slightly chipped at the tips. They're definitely worth the small price tag! They have everything from fur effect nails to constellation nails. I already have a list of others that I want!!
