Ebay #2

Hey People!

Trying to stick with the Ebay post once a month, here’s an October inspired one!

Loving skeleton dresses at the moment, and if I could pull it off, I’d wear one daily! And I know the boots will not be to everyone’s taste but I just love, love chunky boots this winter! Hope you enjoy! *Links are below*

Muji Makeup Storage

Hey People!

So for the past year and a half now I've been admiring these acrylic containers from Muji with the intention of storing my make up in it. It got to the point where I kept my products in 4 different bags around my room...and that was just stress! It'd take me at least 10 minutes to find what I needed, and by then I just could not be bothered with actually doing my make up!! So, I finally decided to just get on with it, and walked into 'Muji' knowing that I would DEFINITELY leave with my drawers. And I did!!

I'm soo happy with how everything turned out, and pretty proud with how this stands on my dresser now :) 

So I bought 2 of the 'Acrylic Box - 2 Drawers Wide' with each one at £10.95 each. I can't tell you how amazing these drawers are - but sturdy, stylish and simple come to mind!

  

If you would also like these beauties, check out their website or go into store and you're sorted!

Trick or Treat?

Half-term is coming up or has already started for some, so I thought I'd make a list of all the Halloween-related stuff you can do!

• Carve a pumpkin, there's always bargains for pumpkins in superstores so the more the better! 

Here's my attempt I did last year:

• Grab a friend, or a couple more to hide under, and head over to The London Dungeon Late, where they open until 10.00pm for their fright night (31/10/13). Tickets cost around £20-23 online but cost more if you buy them on the day. 
  
• Fright Night @ Thorpe Park! I haven't been yet but some of my friends said it was real good fun. Tickets are usually cheaper if you buy it online and in larger groups, otherwise it is usually about £35. 
  
• London Bridge Experience- Phobophobia WARNING: This Halloween event has been voted London's top scare attraction and it looks pretty scary, so if you're one of those faint-hearted people-please do not go! Here's a link to check it out for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IdYCQiIQ38I Tickets usually go for £23 but be sure to check online.

• Go trick-or-treating with your friends, just remember to leave the eggs at home...

Or be a complete chicken and stay at home watching Mean Girls!

Happy Halloween!

Inspiration Time

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's getting a bit stressful at my school, particularly with UCAS applications, university entry exams, as well as internal tests, so I thought I'd share this pic I found!

If you're beginning to give up, STOP! You can do this. Put your mind and heart into what you love and soon you'll become your own expert. 

Learn more. Do more. BE MORE.

New Bits and Bobs!

Hey People!

So I’m one of those who go to Boots/Superdrug and either spends a ridonk-ulous amount of money, or goes and buys only a couple of things. There’s NEVER an in between! This time, I only picked up a few things, so thought I’d share it with you! Enjoy! 

The first is the L’Oreal Couleur Infallible (don’t you just feel so French saying that!) – I got this in the shade 021 Sahara Treasure, and bloody hell! It’s a good’ un! I’m basically obsessed with browns, beiges and neutrals in general, whether it has a matte finish or shimmer, so this is right up my alley! I am really impressed with how highly pigmented this is and it’s just a GORGEOUS colour, whether you’re using it as an eye shadow or even a highlighter!

Next, I repurchased (for the umpteenth time!) the Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Black Brown– I’m sure everyone’s heard about the amazing-ness that this is! Great quality for such an amazing price (£2.99!!!!) . I also got the Maybelline MasterPrecise liquid eyeliner. I’m basically trying to find the best drugstore/high street liquid eyeliner and this is the next one that I’ll be trying. I’ll let you guys know how it goes!

I then got the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me – Quite disappointed with this if I’m honest though – I really don’t care much for the scent or the packaging, and find that it doesn’t even moisturise my lips very well L And finally, from Boots, I picked up the Maybelline Color Show nail varnish from the Vintage Leather collection (shade – turquoise temptation). Gorgeous colour, easy to apply and love the matte effect and 'vintage leather' that it dries to! Without a top coat, it's gorgeous. With a top coat, you can really see the iridescent flakes come out and that also looks gorgeous! I think it's essential that I get a couple more from the range, just so this one doesn't feel lonely...it's only fair :)    
*The nail polish has come up so much lighter in pictures*

Thanks for reading guys! :)
