More Additions To The Wish List :)

Hi All :)

Tonight I bring you another 'Wish List' post.
So, as I previously mentioned, last weekend I went shopping to Telford and saw LOADS I wanted, but had no money at the time. Below are a few of the things I saw...and a couple of others I have discovered since :)

I am going back to Telford this weekend, and as I have been paid I MAY buy some of the things on here, just not sure which yet!

So let's begin...

   
Skull Cape: £24.99, River Island
I was instantly attracted to this, it's very different (how I like!) and interesting! Mum wasn't quite as sure, but then liked it when she saw it on :) Not sure when I would wear it but I am sure I would make use over the colder months. Plus it would be perfect for at Download Festival with the skulls and general warmth and cosiness. If only it was out earlier in the year so I could have taken it to Download and worn late at night when temperatures got unbearably freezing!

Next up, a maxi skirt :) Both mine are black and straight. I have been after a coloured, floaty one for ages and RI have some really nice ones atm. This one is shimmery material. It actually says it is a medium length...but I am short, and it is long :-p

Shimmery Navy Maxi Skirt: £24.99, River Island 

and then some shoes :)


Glitter Peeptoe Platform: £24.99, New Look
I was drawn in by these in the shop. They are HUGE and ridiculously glittery! Rainbow glitter <3


Satin Platform Shoes: £24.99, New Look
I just liked these when I saw them, simple as :)

I also found a vest in Republic that was so cool :)

Crafted Ouija board 'I Love Badboys' vest.
I can't see this on the Republic site yet, so am unable to add a pic. I wasn't sure on it, at first I thought it was really cool, then I saw it said 'I Love Badboys' and thought hmm... we all do, but is it a bit tacky? I don't know, but the vest looks cool :)

However, when searching Republics website I spotted another 2 tops that I like...
Crafted Hell Yeah Vest Top
£19.99

Crafted WTF Vest Top
£19.99
I also love the colour of the models hair and want mine that colour :)
This one has slits all down the back and a few at the side, pretty cool, though I would have to wear a black vest underneath!

So, that is all for tonight. I may have some purchases to report on after this weekend :) Though I am on a strict budget this month, as I have my sister's 21st Birthday weekend to pay for!

Fun weekend ahead for me:

Sat: Ironbridge World Heritage 25th Anniversary Festival
Sun: Antiquity Vintage Fair
Little bit of retail therapy here and there ;-)
(tidying room tomorrow morning and moving things out in prep for carpet to be removed and new flooring put in before new bed arrival)...fun.

Hope you all have a fab weekend.

xXx

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.

<3

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 :)

Little Primark Haul, Courtesy of Mummy!

Hey everyone :)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Yesterday me, mum and Donna went to Telford shopping. I had no money, which was totally depressing! Saw SO much I wanted (post to follow!). But, mum treated me to a few things from Primark, which I shall pay her back for when I get paid!



Ring (Same as necklace I recently bought!) £2.50

Ring, £2

Cocktail pants (with upside down print-fail!) £1.50(?)

This is random but so cute! Reminds me of something you would find abroad!
Purse necklace, £2.50


Not much would fit, but still cute! A couple of coins maybe? :)

I also got Kerrang <3 KIGH on the cover, BFMV & A7X inside <3


and a double-page Freddie Mercury poster <3


That was my little shop (thanks to mum borrowing me some pennies!).

A Tribute to America

10 years has passed since 9/11, the day that will never be forgotten.

R.I.P to all the innocent victims, and love sent to their loved ones.


I decided to do my nails as a tribute to America today, using 2 Barry M glitters.

Added to My Wish List...

Hey everyone :)

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

So money is a bit tight right now, sadly, and situations aren't great, which means I will not be able to buy much at the moment :( and today I went into town, which was totally depressing!
Why is it when you don't have money you want EVERYTHING?!

Dad had kindly helped me out, borrowing me a bit for some essentials: Dove anti-perspirant, Garnier eye make-up remover and some Lil-Lets, but that is all I could buy, along with lunch, a drink at pub (see below!!), and a bit spare to live on, which is now going to be used on going to the cinema tonight...

So, as I suffer I thought I would share some of the products that I am currently lusting over!

Soap & Glory Butter Yourself - smells amazing!

Garnier B.B. Cream Miracle Skin Perfector Light

 
L'Oreal Superliner Luminizer

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Luminizer mascara

Barry M Instant Nail Effects - Foil


Do you own any of these products yet or have them on your Wish List too??

and I had to share this with you...when we went to the pub earlier I had a 'Glitter Berry' J20...these are new and Limited Edition. I had no idea what it was, but it sounded amazing, turns out it is the yummiest J20 ever, cherry and red grape, with a hint of spice and....GLITTER!! It is full of gold glitter! Weird, I know, but this drink is so pretty!!



Have you tried Glitter Berry J20 yet?

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?
