Beauty- Most Wanted Products, July 2012

Barry M Pastel Nail Varnish Collection

I love the pastel trend at the moment (as you could probably tell from the last 2 posts hehe!) and Barry M have really worked this trend from their new pastel collection which was released in April 2012. I currently have the peach (peach melba) and yellow (lemon ice) from this collection and hope to collect the other 3 before the stop the line, which won't be for a while yet. I rarely buy nail varnish these days as I have over 80 of them at the moment and I'd rather spend money on clothes and going out than small items such as jewellery and nail varnish. These polish's are £2.99 and are available at Boots and Superdrug.

Eyes Lips Face Cream Eyeliner

This eyeliner has been on my wishlist for a while but I haven't got around to ordering it yet as there's nothing else on the ELF website that I'd like at the moment and it's a bit pointless ordering one item when the postage & packaging isn't exactly free! This eyeliner is only £3.75 and I'm sure I'll be ordering & reviewing this product soon :-)

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Styling Treatment Oil

I got a small, 25ml tester of this oil in a GlossyBox (February, I think) and the directions say to put on wet hair before drying to make hair easier to style (to stop fly-aways) and softer. You can also put on the ends of hair for a finishing touch. I love the smell of the product as I adore the smell of ginger and it makes my hair so soft and often get compliments of how soft it has made my hair when I do apply it. The full-size 100ml bottle is £25.00 so is rather expensive and the tester I got retails at £7.50 on its own. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with long, untame-able hair like mine :-)

Thanks for reading, have a great day!

Fashion- Spring/Summer 2012 Wishlist

Missguided Pellar Lace Waistband Skater Dress- This gorgeous dress has been top of my most wanted list ever since I saw it in the  'new in' section on the Missguided website and at £25.99, on payday it will be mine! I would pair this lovely day dress with a pair of grey pumps, a brown satchel and some pastel jewellery.

River Island Mid Wash Denim Super Short Hotpants- These shorts are perfect for any trip out to town with the girls or a lazy day at the beach. They can be left how they are or I would add some studs from Ebay (pyramid or cone studs would look best) and rip them, to add that 'grunge' feel. Anything can be worn with a simple pair of denim shorts and can be dressed up or down.

Topshop Sleeveless Check Shirt- I know it's simple, but when I saw this shirt in my local Topshop it really caught my eye. The material is a thick, soft cotton that would be perfect for winter with a jumper/thick cardigan or summer with a pair of shorts (like the River Island ones above). If you don't want to pay £26 for it though, Missguided do a dupe for £22.99 (only a few £'s cheaper but the every penny counts (-;). 

Missguided Tarissa T Bar Platform Shoes- Although I'm not a fan of T Bar shoes, these really caught my eye on the website because of their simple design. I love nudes/neutral colours and these could be dressed down with a simple dress (like the lilac lace dress at the top) for a daytime look or dressed up with a dip hem, bright skirt and a sheer shirt for an evening look.

Hope you liked this post, have a great day!

Fashion- Love Jewellery? Love Sunshine!

Hello readers,

Today I'm going the be telling you about Amy who runs A Little Ray of Sunshine. Although this site is a blog, she also has a Facebook page where you can get in touch to buy her jewellery. She is from Britain so I'm not sure if she ships internationally. I'm not going to pretend I know all about her site & what-not as I've only purchased one thing (see the image below) but I love love love her creations! If I had endless amounts of income I would purchase it all! Most items are under£5 (which is a bargain!) and she runs a stall which I think she runs around her local area from time to time :-) When I first got in touch with her about purchasing this necklace (which was about 3 months ago) she was very sweet and her communication throughout the sale was superb, she treated me like a friend! Of all the buyers I have ever bought from such as Dolly Bow Bow, Dainty Roses (although I do love this site) she is by far the best with communication. I would recommend her if you're into this kind of jewellery any day :-) Here is a picture of the necklace I bought from her for £3.50:

Here are some other images of her beautiful creations:

Thank you for reading! Have a great day,

OOTD (Fashion)- Primark Dress Up/Down

Top- £10 (reduced to £5- also available in yellow & white)

Jeans- £9 (many colours available throughout the year)

Platform Heels Faux Suede- £12 (reduced to £10- also available in tan)

Bag- £7 (available in tan & khaki from flagship stores only)

I got this top today in the sale and I knew I had to do an OOTD on it! Although my blogging days are traditionally Sunday, Wednesday and Friday and today is Monday I really had to! I love this top to bits and if you can't tell it is pleated and sheer. I put the title as 'dress up/down' as I feel this outfit is suitable for going out with the girls to town or for a evening out with the family due to the mix of black heels & casual jeans. Wear it on either occasion! If you can make out my Hamsa Hand necklace, it is from eBay (sorry I don't own any Primark jewellery!). If you haven't guessed already, everything is from Primark. Have a great day,

Me- Sorry for the Break!

I'm ever so sorry for the break guys but I've just been swamped with homework and coursework for my AS Levels & (1) GCSE. As many of you now I'm in year 11 and I finished all my GCSEs in year 10 due to an advanced curriculum, so this year I have taken up 3 AS Levels (EPQ, ICT and Photography) and Media GCSE and a Textiles non-exam course. Since this is such a leap from GCSEs I have been overwhelmed recently with getting coursework in for Photography and EPQ and revising for my ICT exam which is in less than a week, aaaah! I promise I will continue blogging after my exams and I may do another quick post now. Once again I am sorry I have not blogged for a while :-(

Love,
