A Little Pay Day Spending :)

Good Evening, well 1am...I really need to start going to bed earlier at night :-\

It's one of my favourite days...PAY DAY! YAY :)

So, today has been productive...I spoke my mind and voiced my opinion on a few things (which felt so much better to not keep things locked in any longer!), I booked the hotels for my sisters 21st Birthday weekend (Blackpool & Liverpool Albert Dock - can.not.wait!) and I filled up my car (finally!).

This evening I went to Telford, to the retail park which has a B&M Store, as I needed some more shoe boxes, well, I need quite a few more, but just got 6 more for now as they are cheap from there ;-) Went round a few of the shops up there, then to Tesco back in Shrews to get a few things too (some I can't show as they are presents!). 

I am currently listening to some Nirvana <3 Which starts me off on today's little haul...

Kerrang mag, celebrating 20 years of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' <3

B&M <3

Shoe boxes: £2.49 for 3!

Zebra storage seat (because I love zebra!): £3.99

Next up a visit to Boots, sprayed some perfume and had a little (sensible headed!) browse.

Got a few things which are presents, so can't show.

But, following my recent post on a Prestige lipstick I bought, I found another gorge one tonight, this time 75% off, at just £1.62! Also included in 3 for 2 offer! Crazy.

Prestige 'Romantic Red' Lipstick: £1.62

This is in my dimly lit living room, so not the best swatch but you can see how shimmery the lipstick is. It is a lovely reddy-pink colour, not bold red.

Another swatch attempt.

Next up, Tesco.

I got a few things, including Kerrang mag, but can't show some, as again they are presents :)

More Vivo from Tesco :) I couldn't resist...I fear it may be a problem now, everytime I go to Tesco having to look and be tempted!

Also got some hand sanitizer for my car, only 65p...bargain!

Vivo Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream: £4, Tesco

I couldn't really get a good swatch photo in dim light, but you can see the colour of the blush in the pot on this :)

Swached in dim light (I will show in natural light ASAP)

Still trying to get a good swatch photo!

The Baked Blush is a gorgeous colour, and I really like these :) They very much remind me of the Accesorize ones! and so cheap!

We popped in to Outfit at the retail park and I spotted a CUTE dress in the Dorothy Perkins section, which I really want for Donna's Birthday weekend.

I also spotted a Beatles Abbey Road tee in Topshop section, which I love and think would be very apt for Liverpool :)

I shall leave you all with my words of wisdom of the day...

If you have something on your mind that is bugging or upsetting you, speak up! Tell someone how you feel and don't keep it trapped inside. You'll feel much better for it :)

Tesco Vivo Cosmetics & Prestige Lipstick

Second post of the evening, as promised :)

On Saturday I made a visit to Tesco, and whilst walking down the make-up and cosmetics aisle I was over-excited to discover a new beauty range, Vivo cosmetics.

The products looked great and were cheap, though due to my lacking funds I shouldn't have spent any money, but I had to give Vivo a try! So I chose 2 products...

Baked Bronze 'Sun Kiss', £5

Baked Shimmer Palette 'Paparazzi', £6

and now for the swatches, as you will see from the first photo (with flash) I struggled to get a good photo. And the first photo also has seemed to rotate itself!

Swatches of Paparazzi and Sun Kiss

With flash.

Without flash, under lighting.

The bronzer I found to be very light and hard to photograph (see photos below), whilst the shimmer palette is fab, great colours, and really shimmery!

There is plenty more I want from the range, when I have money I will definitely be returning to the Vivo section :)

~Prestige Lipstick~

At lunch time today I paid a visit to Boots, in search of Barry M's new Nail Effects, which sadly was not available yet. However, as always I was unable to leave the store empty handed!

I noticed a Prestige stand, which I wouldn't usually look at, but was drawn to the fact that it was almost empty of stock, then I saw the 50% off sign. I spotted 2 lipsticks that I thought were nice, one was called 'Pink Diamonds', and was a nice shimmery pink, the other was 'Peach Passion', a shimmery peachy-orange. I couldn't decide, but with help from my friend Kelly, and also the fact that I have a lot of pink lipsticks, I decided to go for 'Peach Passion'. This was reduced from £6.49 to £3.24.

Me, wearing my new Prestige 'Peach Passion' lipstick and also Vivo 'Sun Kiss' Baked Bronze (though you can't tell as my face came out so white in the photo!)

Trying to show Vivo 'Sun Kiss' Baked Bronze, you can see it a bit on here!

Have you checked out the Vivo collection at Tesco yet? If so, what do you think?
