Today's Purchases :) mini haul post!

Did a bit of shopping today... and got a few pieces that I needed, and some that I've just heard lots of great things about!

Got these two bra's from New Look, they were on sale for £6 (pack of two) and they feel like they're going to be super comfy! Also under all the products I bought a simple navy top from Primark, to go with my Jubilee outfit for the weekend!

Got some false nails from Primark, they're red as it's Jubilee weekend coming up, and I have to dress up for work and also a night out that's planned for Sunday! And for only £1 it's a pretty good deal!

I was so impressed with my lip tint that I got from Primark that I got a different colour, this is more of a baby pink and looks perfect for the summer! £1.50. 

I've been loving MUA Make up (available at Superdrug) as it's so cheap but quality! The bronzer is perfect for me, and teamed with my Primark blush brush, it goes on quite light so I can build it up without looking too orange! I have it in shade 1 and it was £1 (everything is on three for two at the moment in Superdrug too).

I got my hands on a Revlon Colour Burst Lip Butter - in 090 Sweet Tart. I've heard lots of good reviews, and my flatmate Jess has been using hers and can't recommend it enough. I tried all the colours and thought this was a really nice pretty pink for the summer, it's a little brighter than I'd normally go for, but I thought I'd have a change :) I've been trying it this afternoon and I'll do a review on that for you guys! £7.99 from Boots and Superdrug (and anywhere that sells Revlon products). 

Bit of an impulse buy at the end of the shopping trip, Jess has been going on about getting one of these Real Techniques Dual Fibre Stippling Brushes for a while now, and she finally bought one today after hearing such good reviews. I too have been seeing various Beauty Bloggers and Youtube Guru's talking about them, and thought I'd give it a try! Excited to see if this one works out! I'll review it once I've tried it (which will be later today or tomorrow I think!) It was £11.99, which is quite a lot to pay on a student budget for a brush.... so I'm hoping it will deliver!!

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed my little haul, please leave a comment about any of the products featured below, and if you'd like me to review anything then I'd be happy to! :) Lucy xxxx

Getting in the Christmas Spirit!

If you're in the UK, your local B&M store is THE PLACE to get Christmas decorations on a budget! Really cheap fairy lights etc, and even Santa & Elf costumes! Oh and the funniest thing was a Father Christmas toilet seat cover.... haha! Everything ranges from £1 upwards!

I know this isn't anything beauty related, but I just had to share this with you guys! We've decorated the flat ready for Christmas, and we even have a little Christmas Tree in the kitchen! We've made the flat look really Christmassy! :)

Miss Selfridge & Primark spree :)

Deals of the week


I've been looking around for some nice winter pieces and I'm really loving the simple shorts & black tights combo. Everything item I bought in this little spree was £20 and under, always good to find a bargain! These pieces are really nice to make an outfit for the winter. Just team them with a plain top (tucked in or out) a patterned scarf and cardigan and you're ready to go! :)

- Burgundy High Waisted Shorts £10 Primark
- Green High Waisted shorts £9 SALE Miss Selfridge (was £32!!)
- Tweed Brogues £10 Primark


- Typical outfit: shorts with black tights, brogues and a plain top tucked in to the high waisted shorts. Finish with a patterned scarf and a cardigan (long or short) 
- The polka dot shorts actually look like a skirt when on, which is quite nice. Something a bit different to the burgundy denim shorts on the left.




Firstly apologies for the crappy picture, but I just wanted to show the dress on (only pic I could find where I wasn't pulling a stupid pose...)


This dress caught my eye as the bright colours contrast each other but work really well I think. I originally thought I would wear the dress with bare legs, but came to the conclusion that to add to the block colour theme, the black tights looked best. I also wore black heels with this outfit. Overall really comfortable but still looks dressed up! Love this dress!


Dress £17 (£15.30 w/student discount) Miss Selfridge (was £32)




That's it for this post, just thought I'd share with you some of the bargains I've picked up this week! (well I think so..) The miss selfridge sale is still on, and I actually saw the dress again today so there's definitely still stock left if you wanted to grab a bargain! 


Please do let me know if you've found any fashion bargains so I can check them out :) Lucy x
