TOP 10 AFFORDABLE PRODUCTS || 2013

Soap and glory thick and fast mascara || Over the past few months this mascara has done me very we'll, I'd forgotten I'd had it, and only discovered it when I was rummaging through my draws from last Christmas. It gives that volume that you can build for the dramatic look, or just one coat for the everyday look, gentle on the eyes too, thumbs up!

So... For me? Body spray || Oh my word, this scent is to die for. I'm not a big fan of So... having used it when I was twelve u didn't think much of it, but my mum got me 1 bottle I had to go out and buy 5 more. I get mine from a local beauty shop that sells products cheaper, tesco or asda may sell it?

No7 protect and perfect night cream || Having oily/dry skin, I find it really hard to find a moisturiser that ticks all the boxes, but this one definitely do that. It isn't too oily which benefits my oily skins and overall evens my complexion and skin feeling smooth. It doesn't enhance spots which is something I hate.

Rimmel: wake me up foundation || I cannot praise this foundation enough I didn't only use this is 2013, I used this in 2012 too, it really does feel like it wakes me up and gives my skin the glow it needs, I'm quite pale so verging on wotsit is quite easy. This products ticks all the boxes.

Eco tools foundation brush || Wish I could show the packaging for this product, it helps the environment as well as creating a sturdy reliable brunch that does SHED. One of my pet hates. I lost my last one on a night out and had to go purchase another from boots the next day.

Natural collection vanilla body scrub || I didn't think this product would be any good but surprising the quality of the scrub really works and the smell is lush. A cheaper alternative to the soap and glory body scrub, still works like magic though.

Soap and glory breakfast club scrub || Again I cannot compliment this product enough, the amount, the smell, packaging and result are lovely. My skin looks and feels amazing after using this, and it's a product that lasts months, plus it smells like heaven, warning: wash the bath out after use!

Garner summer body lotion || My boyfriends dad actually got me this and didn't really use it as it was summer and didn't really need too, but now the winter months have summoned us, it has being a god send, everyone looks better with a tan, even just a little one.

Vaseline rose lips || Everyone must own a Vaseline tub? Yes. They are amazing on the li

ps and this one gives a tint of pink, plus!

Pearl drops beauty sleep || A product that you have to use over time to see the difference, I think I can, although I'm so bad at stick at ~beauty routines~ opps! although when applying it tastes abut weird and then after 1 minute it tastes minty, I got mine from boots.

HELLO 2014

It's nearly 2014, thank god for that. I think 2013 has got to be the most horriblest year yet, the only one good thing that happen was that I got to go to the amazing Mexico, the rest starting uni, dropping out and generally nothing exciting happening has got to be the worst.
Although, I have big plans for 2014. I will be going on holiday with the girls, hopefully travelling to America through summer (although this is not set in stone as of yet) and will definitely be attending university at my favourite city - ever. Despite what has happened in 2013 I am willing to make up for it by making the most of the year to come, and to blog - more!

PRIMARK HAUL

Over the last 2 two weeks i have been popping in and out of my local primark, and this was the outcome. I personally blame it on having a wardrobe clean out and ending up with virtually no tops at all! ive been quite impressed with clothing at primark recently, im not a big fan of detailed clothing 'slogans or pictures' on any clothing and felt over the last summer months this is exactly what primark have had in stock ~boo's~. im one of those people that if i like a piece of clothing i will want to get it in every colour, and get bored of it within a month, and this is exactly why i love primark, i can do this. yay
ootd will be posted soon with some of the items.

KOBO EREADER

Now i don't want this to seem 'review-ish' but i do want to boast at how much i adore my kobo. When i say kobo, some people just dont know what they are, so basically it is an e-reader much like the kindle, but in my opinion a whole lot better. now ive never been an owner of a kindle, so call me judgemental, but i have had a play with friends, done alot of comparison research and had the cheeky play about in shops, and in price comparison i can tell you, you get a whole lot more with a kobo then you do a kindle

Kobo Touch price at Amazon is £65.85 (click here) and the Kindle Touch price at Tesco is £159 (click here). That's a whole lot more in comparison to what is on offer.

As you can see by the pictures the Kobo is very personal as it tells you how many hours you have spent reading, how many books you have read, and also gives you cool awards as you read one of the awards as an example 'juggernaut: go big or go home! youve turned 10,000 pages with kobo' how-bloody-amazing, this just shows how reading life can be exciting an fun. As you can probably tell i am a book worm, and really wish i had more time to read books, so if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations for book leave a comment, sorry for sharing my inner geek

NAILS OF THE WEEK

NOTD

okay, so this week i sported these nails, and up to now i have loved them! usually i get bored of the color im wearing or i usually take it off for work, but this week i have loved wearing these funky illuminous green nails with zig-zags and to be honest have had alot of compliments on them. on thee toes however i didnt want to redo the whole ~zig-zag disaster~ so opted for one zig. so far so good, once you do one zag its easy peasy to do the rest.

upcoming: skincare routine & primark haul.

NOTTY NOTTY

TOP BUN

First time trying one of these and i can happily say i am pleased! i didn't do anything extravagant except use a bun doughnut and a whollllle lot of hair grips. im one of those people that wear thier hair the same all the time, so trying out new hairstyles is always exciting, link below if you have any idea's/have any hair idea's on your blog, bun doughnut on Ebay or alternative at primark £1.

PIE HOLED

TRAGUS PIERCING 2013

okay so im not going to lie, this hurt like a bitch. I haven't got that many piercings just your average ones and ive had a tattoo lasting upto 1 hour but the pain i felt whilst i had my tragus done was painful. The good thing is it lasted 15 seconds and to be truthful it isnt hurting now, except if i knock/catch it, same with all piercings, and who cares i love it and pain doesnt last forever!

HOMEBOUND
