Huge Autumn/Winter Haul!

Hey everyone, so like I posted yesterday, here is my haul. I was going to do it a bit earlier but I was a bit busy! Here it is anyway. I got a bit carried away in Primark and got a few other bits and pieces. I'm going to start of with Primark!

 First up is this ADORABLE reindeer knit jumper - I've wanted a nice knit jumper for a while, and as I am seriously getting into the Christmas mood, I thought I'd pick it up. £12, Primark

 Next is actually a snood, in this photo I have folded it up just so you can see the pattern! As you can see, it's a gorgeous aztec/christmas/colourful/zigzag print. £8, Primark

 This is so cute! It's a beautiful penguin hat, and this is sooooooo soft. Inside and out! There are different animals in the range, including things like owls, leopards and polar bears. £6, Primark

 Next 3 tops are printed tees, and this first one it seseme street! He's in a bin and saying 'Meh'. I thought this would be worn by me a lot:) £6, Primark

 Here is another Seseme Street tee, and this time another is on a grey background (great for layering) and he is mucking around with christmas decorations. £6, Primark

 This is a forest green background, and it says M*I*C*K*E*Y on the top. I love the colour of the tee in general, it can go with a lot of things! £6, Primark

 Here I have 2 of the same tees in 2 different designs/patterns, this one is a dark grey/graphite colour with pink and white stripes. £3, Primark

 This doesn't look it on the pic, but it's a kind of grey/graphite/forest green colour, and again will be great for layering and will go with a lot of things. Both of these have little pockets for decoration. £3, Primark

 I have 3 pairs of exactly the same 'Super Soft & Super Skinny' Jeans, just because I have thrown away quite a few pairs and I only ended up having one left. I bought them in burgandy, dark pink and forest green. These are all dark colours in their range(ie: The pink jeans are no where near close to hot pink!). £11 each, Primark

 Here are some such cosy and cute leggings, and these are so warm and cute. They are a very seasoned pattern with reindeers, stars and zig zags. Great for christmas:) I will definately wear these more than just christmas day though!! Love them!! £10, Primark

 Last piece of clothing now, some denim coloured leggings, and I think these aren't full to-your-ankle leggings, but I think that's good because I can wear them with riding boots, which is great for this cold weather! £3, Primark

Tese are all items not from Primark, but I thought I'd put them all in one picture because none of them are big!
Pearl Everyday White-I thought this was a teeth whitening system for your teeth, but I've realised it's just toothpaste! Superdrug, 95p
w7 Harder and Tuffer -This is just another strengthener for your nails :) Savers, £1.99
Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer - I needed a new concealer, so I thought I'd just try this out. Boots, £2.99
Natural Collection Lash Definition Mascara- I had a voucher, that if you bought any lipstick or mascara, you'd get 200 points:) Boots, £1.99
MUA Mosaic Bronzer - Shade 2 Sunkissed Glow - I wanted a bronzer, this was cheap so I thought I'd try it:) Superdrug, £2.50.

That is my HUGE haul done! That took absolutely ages to write, but I hope you liked it:) Speak to you soon:)

October Empties

Hey everyone

Today's post is on my october empties. I haven't ever done an empties post, but I hope you enjoy it! I will give my brief kinda thoughts on each of them.

Firstly is Nivea 'Soft': this is just a nice thick cream which you can use absolutely anywhere on your body. After I wash, I like to use this on my arms, legs and face. This is a really nice consistency and leaves your skin feeling amazingly soft! I will be buying a new tub A.S.A.P!

Next is Sally Hansen 'Hard As Nails': this is a nail hardener which you use every couple of days to keep your nails stronger. I really really really do adore this- I immediately saw a difference that my nails weren't breaking. I am now at the point where you have to tip it upside down to actually get some product out!

This is Pamolive 'Soft & Gentle' Deodrant: this smells gorgeous... I've bought an extra large bottle because I can't survive without the smell:)

Charlie bodyspray in 'Enchant': I have gone through a couple of bottles of this... As you can tell I cannot describe the smell...:)

Another Charlie bodyspray in 'Pink': this is a pretty common Charlie bodyspray, I'm sure a lot of you have smelt this before.

Finally Pantene 'Heat Defence Gloss Spray' for fine hair: this is a fab heat defence that once you've used heat it makes your hair smell amazing. I have purchased a new bottle now:)

That's it! I hope you enjoyed this post, see you soon! Lizzie xoxo

Easy 2 in 1 Twist Back Hair Tutorial

Hey everyone, so this post is going to be on a double hair tutorial! I would say it's a 'Twist Back' and you can have it up or down. Your going to need: a couple of bobby pins, hair bow/flower (optional) and a hairband (for the second hairstyle). Here we go!
First your going to brush your hair (like you normally do):

Get yourself a side parting if you don't have one, and if you do then just get it lined up:

On the side with most hair, get some bobby pins and pin it up with a poof. I like to twist mine a little! Make it look bumped up and big! It's just like a quiff, but sideways. Don't be afraid to make it bigger than what you usually do!:

Your going to do the same just on the other side, with a poof aswell:

Now you can add any accesories, I'm just going to add this cute little bow. I'm only putting it on one side!:

That's your first hairstyle DONE, now is realllyyyyyyy easy.
Simply just grab a hairband and tie it back. I don't like to do this pony too high as it might ruin your twists:

Tieing it up is helpful for when you may have P.E at school or if you are doing a sport- anything a bit energetic. It still looks cute and it's out of your way if it's annoying you!

I hope you enjoyed this post, it's super easy to do!

HALLOWEEN HAUL!

Hey everyone, so I have bought a couple of things for halloween as it is coming up pretty soon (15 days and counting). I am going trick or treating with my friend Rosie! I'm really excited and I thought I'd get everything ready!
I'll start off here with my costume:

It is called 'Punky Skeleton' and it has two sizes: 8-10 and 11-13. This outfit includes a skirt with halloween-cut zig-zag leggings connected, a top and glove and wrist pieces. You can buy this HERE if you were thinking of it :) £8, Wilkinsons.

Next is a make-up set:

It has 5 face paints: white, red, dark red, forest green and black. It also has three face crayons in white, red and black, some fake blood, a sponge and two sponge eyeshaodw-like applicators. £1.50, Wilkinsons.

Now is some fake eyelashes:

To me, I would call them spikey! They aren't absolutely massive OTT lashes but I think they are just right for the night (hey, I'm a poet and I didn't know it). These also come along with some lash glue! Savers, £1.99.

I bought a lipstick:

This is called 'Crimson' and it's a really bright red. I thought this would go well with my outfit whist trick or treating! £1.99, Natural Collection at Boots.

I found a great and cheap bucket for all our sweets:

As you can see, it's super awesome and looks like a pumpkin. 50p, Wilkinsons.

Last but not least is some black crackle nail polish:

I bought this for my nails on the night (obviously) and thought I might buy it because it could come in handy in the future! £2.99, Miss Sporty.
 
I hope you enjoyed this post, I can't wait until halloween! It's going to be great fun. Speak to you soon!

Technic 'High Lights'

Hey everyone! So today's post is a sort of review... But definately NOT a good one! It's on Technic's version of benefit's high beam, and how i'm going to start this is DON'T buy this!
I bought this highlighter from amazon for £1, with £1.45 delivery. This doesn't cost hardly anything and is a fraction of high beam's price, but its completely off of what it's supposed to be!

I may have just been unfortunate, but this was absolutely brand new when I'd got it. The plastic was still wrapped around it, and looks like it was fresh from the factory to me. When I opened the bottle, it was absolutely disgusting. It was gloopy, sticky and lumpy. Ew.
I was a bit like 'Um what? Is this old and has someone used this or something?' I did know already that is was brand new but it was like it was 50 years old.
I tried to think of the good things, so I was hoping for the product to maybe be O.K? I was wrong.
The product its self when it goes onto your face seems fine at first, because you see only a tad of shimmer. I breathed a sigh of relief at that point; I was happy that it wasn't all bad. I applied it on my cheekbone, brow-bone and cupids' bow.
When the product had actually sunk in, it was riduculously sparkly! It was just like I had put a plate of glitter on a face full of glue. I wasn't expecting it. Especially after being happy that it wasn't all bad. It really was!
It was simply just waaaaay too much shimmer. It sounds strange, I know, but if you saw you would understand what I mean. Your probably thinking, 'Well, highlighters need to have shimmer in it other wise there is no point of it being there...' Well yes, I know but this was just OTT.

I was so unhappy with this, as I was really excited for it's arrival through my letter box. *pulls unhappy face*
I hope you read this and never even click on this product, there really isn't even a point!

Thanks for reading, Lizzie xoxo

Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets!

Hey guys! Today's post is on something that I recently bought - and very happy with! This is a review on Kleenex's shine/oil absorbing sheets!
This is what the box looks like from the outside:

If it's not easy to see for you, it says on the front: 'Shine Absorbing Sheets, Powder Free, Dab away excess oil and keep your make-up intact'Here is what the inside looks like:

As you can see at the top, one of the sheets is stuck to the top layer. Basically, there is a little sticky pad which you can unpeel the wrapper thing and then every time you open it, the sheet is already there, taken out for you. Exciting, haha!
That's just a little thing thats great about this. You don't use the floral patterned side to dab onto oily areas of your face, you use the plain side. When you have the side ready, you simply just dab dab dab onto any oily area. The usual place for oily areas on your face is your nose; well for me it is anyway!
 Heres some dabbing:

As you can see me dabbing. Lets say dabbing again... DABBING!

You sort of just pat the sheet onto your nose (look at me, using a different word to dabbing) and sort of picks up the oil. It's really strange- it feels like it's sticks to the oily bits, even though it's not sticky, if you know what I mean...

Afterwards you have the joy of seeing the oil from your nose on the sheet. Oh the joy.

I know it's pretty disgusting, but I needed to show you an example for you to understand what I mean:



Blurry, but WHO CARES! You get the gist of it!

That's what I mean, it looks a bit... Damp? I seriously don't know the word, but yeah.

After this, if you feel your (ex-)oily area it feels seriously different to before. Magic!

I absolutely adore this product because it's just so cool. AND CHEAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP!!

This was ONLY something like 70-80p from Tescos, which is craaaazy. I've seen in superdrug something similar- I think it was shine control sheets and they were £1.99. This does that- AND BETTERRRRRR

I'm still not certain of the price, but it was definately below £1. Woohoo for cheap stuff!

I definately recommend going down to Tescos and having a peep. *peeps*

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, see you in my next one! Lizzie xoxo
