Poundland haul #3 (and FOTD)



*Products present in selfie*

Ive already posted 2 pound land hauls on my blog so this seems to be becoming a regular item on here. In my first pound land haul I explained how I've never found any faulty products as some people do experience after finding some hidden gems in there such as Rimmel and Stila. The same has occurred on another little trip I made in there the other day. None of the products I've found were dried up or damaged in anyway shape or form. 

The most exciting product I found was the Rimmel scandal eyes liquid eyeliner. (For course all of these products were only £1) I also found another CK eyeshadow in a beautiful burgundy purple colour.  Ive already got 3 of these from a pervious pound land visit and I have been using them regularly since then. They use to retail for £11 but have now been discontinued hence there presence in poundland shops. I also found a beautiful Barry M magnetic nail polish which has been a nice addition to my already out of control nail polish collection. Lastly I pick up two more Rimmel products, a scandaleyes waterproof kohl eyeliner pencil in Nude and a Rimmel lipliner in Red diva 24.

Usual selling price 

Rimmel scandal eyes liquid eyeliner - £5.49
CK eyeshadows - (now discontinued ) did use to retail for £11
Barry M magnetic nail polish - £4.99
Rimmel eyeliner - £3.99
Rimmel lipliner - £3.99

Therefore the cost of all these products would result in a total spend of £29.46 in comparison to the £5 I spent.

The perks of the job


Where-ever you work theres always the occasional perks to the job. From work the other day I managed to pick up these products for 20p each due to them being samples and where no longer needed. Meaning all the employees had a chance to get in and pick up a few things.

Ive been particuly wanting to try the bourjois rouge edition velvet lipsticks. This was the perfect chance to give then a quick try and so far I'm loving them. They usually retail for £8.99.

I love the occasional perk to the job.

MAC lipstick - Hot Gossip


Whenever I'm investing in high end lipsticks, I tend to go for more bold and bright colours. However the other day I picked up MAC's Creamsheen lipstick in Hot Gossip.
Hot Gossip is a nude pink with a hint of plum. It is a lipstick which is defiantly more for day to day use and is now a staple in my everyday makeup bag.
I really love the  'creamsheen' lipsticks, as I have another in my collection, sweet & sour, which I love. They are a really moisturising lipstick and have a creamy texture which isn't sticky but is long lasting.
As with all MAC lipsticks it smells divine, a subtle sweet vanilla smell which isn't over powering. 

Do you have Hot Gossip? Whats your opinion?

Estee Lauder lip lacquer in Hot Cherry


After looking through my collection I found that the Estee Lauder pure colour high intensity lip lacquer in Hot Cherry has been my most loved this month. I love this collection from Estee Lauder and am always swatching them whenever possible. The red is a very vibrant cherry red with shimmer, the kind of colour everyone needs in collection.

The product itself is very pigmented and last all day or night. It is very thick which I normally don't really like in a gloss however it isn't sticky at all. I love the shiny finish it leaves on your lips especially as they are relevantly easy to apply compared to other similar types of products. Overall a beautiful product.

They retail for around £19.50 which for a high end lip product I don't mind paying.

Have you got any of this collection?  What do you think?


Thanks for reading!

Getting back to the blog


If you are a blogger you might understand this feeling, if you just enjoy reading blogs, and are still here, then you may not. I recently found myself a little stuck in terms of blogging, I've been trying to handle blogging, Alevels, a somewhat lacking social life and work over the past couple of months and its been stressful to say the least. Its safe to say my blog took the biggest hit. However after investing in a new laptop and realising how much I missed my little old blog I decided to get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging.

I really hope some of you are still here and want to hear some of the random stuff and thoughts that end up on here.

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE HAUL





If you haven't already read my previous blog post on clothes show live you can have a look here!

I had a great time at clothes show live and as per usual spent way too much money on stuff I really do not need. I feel like in this post the pictures really do a lot of the talking, however I was mainly in the search for bargains when I was there and picked up some really  nice dresses at really cheap prices. I also fell in love with the pair of black Levi shorts which were only £15!

Every year I buy the models own goodie bag for just £10 as its always a winner. You get any 3 full sized products of your choice as well as a really good goody bag which I love.

Did you get any good bargains at clothes show live?

What did you think of the day if you went?

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE 2014



Every year when I head to clothes show live, I always end up coming home with no money and lots of new products and clothes that I really do not need in my life. Clothes show live 2014 went down pretty much the same as my previous visits.

If you don't know what clothes show live is its basically a massive fashion and beauty convention with celebrity guests, designer to vintage clothing stalls, makeup bargains and a catwalk full of both up and coming and established designers.

Unlike most years, when I use to go with my old school, my friends and I booked a coach trip down to Birmingham which included travel, entry and tickets to the catwalk for a bargain price.

The whole day was amazing so ive split this post into three. This one consisting of just photos of the day, pictures of the catwalk show and a haul post which should come later in the week.

Have you been to clothes show? What do you think of the day?
