Fashion & Beauty Haul April14'

 Hi Guys, So today on this amazingly sunny day i went to my local shopping center (Frenchgate, Doncaster) originally to pick up some new make-up but came back with totally different stuff as i always do!! Ha ha. 

And a quick OOTD, top from Next, Leggings from Primark & Jewelry from Next too (except from the watch which is Sekonda). And on my feet i wore black sandals from Primark. 

So first of all i popped into Poundland because i read a blog post the other day that you can pick up some really cool nail polishes up from there and they were so right!! Then i went into Dazzle to pick up some makeup bits but again picked up a bargain nail polish. Then i went to River Island, Topshop & Primark and picked up some random sale items.

What i picked up from Poundland...

Fashion Haul 2014

Hi Guys, just thought id share with you some of my recent purchases

Firstly, i went to New Look and i picked up these jogging bottoms which i mentioned in my Monthly Faves for last month and this midi skirt was in the sale for £5. I haven't worn the skirt yet but i love the colour and pattern on it and can't wait to wear it on a night out or just casual.

The next shop i bought from was Forever 21 online. I have been wanting to buy things from this brand for a while now as its so popular on you tube etc and girls look so great and the prices are really reasonable price. I was really impressed and happy with my order only sending one item back because it was too long for me (im quite short) so will definetly be ordering from them again!

And lastly i picked up this top from Primark, which i am slightly obsessed with!! It looks amazing with disco pants and i love the picture on it.

And that was my quick fashion haul. Hope you liked reading and Ill speak to you soon!!

NOTD: Red & Black Lace

Hi guys, so i won these nails (on my fingers) on a competition on Facebook. I absolutely love them and even though there really long i can still do everything i'm used to doing. I did my toes myself to match my fingers as i was going out the day after and you could see my toes plus i think its important to match!! ha ha.

March Faves 2014

Comfy Pants. 

New look - £19.99

Okay, so i bought these last month because i was told how comfy they are and that i wouldn't regret it! And they were soooo right, if your a girl like me who likes to wear baggy jumpers, hair tied up, no makeup & cosy socks in the house then these will be perfect for you! They have a fluffy liner and are 'cuffed' at the bottom, i love the print on the inside waistband i'm not that crazy about the lettering on the outside but that doesn't bother me. 

My Tia Bear

This is my little doggy who is a Jack Russell x Pug. She is about 5 years old and is the love of my life!

Spring Time

These are just some pictures i took from in my garden. I absolutely love spring when flowers start growing and the sun starts shining!

This is my Mums, Mothers Day Present. I got it from Amazon and it was around £10. I absolutely love journals and i think it's so important to keep memories of your loved ones, to share with others and the also pass down through generations. Basically it asks all sorts of questions and your mum has to answer them and then on the opposite page it has space for photos or drawings. My mum loves this book and cannot wait to start filling it out.

My Winning Nails

I won these nails (fingernails) by entering a competition on Facebook and i love them!! The girl who did them has been doing my nails for around 4-5 years and also does my hair etc... I was going out the weekend she was doing them so i gave myself some matching toes also ha ha.

Song on Repeat

I cannot stop listening to this song!! I love everything about it and i now have a massive crush on Sam Smith!! If you haven't heard this song for some absurd reason go listen to it!!

And that is what i have been loving in all of March...

Outfit & Makeup Of The Night

 Hi Guys, so this weekend i went out with my best friend for a girly night out round town and i thought i would share with you what i wore and what i did my makeup like. 

So first of all is this gorgeous outfit that cost around £20!! 

Black Knit Crop Top: Forever 21 £4.75

Basic Knee Length Skirt: Forever 21 £4.75

Strap heels: Primark (around £10)

Lime Green Stud Earings: Primark £1

And that was my outfit i absolutely love that skirt! I also got it in Grey and i'm tempted to get all the other colors of it too. It is such good quality and i am really impressed to say it cost £5!!

And my makeup...

Revlon 24hr Colorstay Foundation

Sleek Contour & Highlight Palette

NARS blush in Deep Throat

Naked Palette 2 - Blackout & Tease

Acessorize palette - Lime green & White

MAC DazzleGlass Lip gloss in Money, Honey to shop

 Ardel Eyelashes - Natural 

I went for a black smokey eye but instead of a white highlight in the inner corner i went for a heavy lime green! I just thought it tied my outfit together and was a bit retro and different to what i normally do. 

And that is my makeup & outfit of Friday night! I hope you enjoyed reading this and i hope it has given you some inspiration for your next night out.

Nail Art Haul: Born Pretty Store

www.bornprettystore.com - Free shipping worldwide

Hi Guys,

So last month i decided to finally try out some nail art stuff from BPS as i see this company being mentioned a lot on blogs & you tube. The products are really affordable and i love that it's free shipping. I got quite various things to try out and i will insert pictures below and my thoughts of the company and what i got. 

First of all i would only order from this website when your not in a rush to get anything. It took exactly a month for my stuff to get here so it's better to order things you'd like to add to your collection rather than you need something now. When my products came everything was in tact and it was packaged really well. Some of the products were the wrong color to what i picked but that's not much of a big deal to me.

Water Decal Stickers - Traditional Chinese Painting
Water Decal Stickers - Beautiful Flower Pattern

I wanted these to do some elegant nail designs and to also try out the water decals.

Stamper & Scraper Set

Stamp Template - Leopard & Lace

Stamp Template - Mustache & Lips

Stamp Template - Patterns 

I haven't tried the stamping tools yet so i can't wait to try these!! 

120pcs, Fruit Fimo Decals

I got these because i thought they looked so fun to use in the summer and i loved the colors of them all.

18 Color Acrylic Powder Set

This had black acrylic powder all over it. They were fine once brushed over.

I got these acrylic powders to practice my 3D art with, but when i tried them tonight they weren't very pigmented and some of them turned white. I will play around with them though to decide whether i would buy more etc... 

400pcs, Fluorescent Rhinestone Stud Set 

I wanted these for my more colorful nail art, and i think they look so edgy and cool! I love that you get the same color in two different styles.

Tinkerbell 3D Nail Decoration

I actually picked the yellow ones of these but the blue colors just as pretty! I cannot wait to use these in a Tinkerbell inspired nail design! 

Nail Glue w/ Brush

I just wanted some nail glue to use for when i'm doing nail art instead of using my NSI glue which i use for my nail enhancements. 

Hello Kitty Embellishments

These i got free with my order! They are really pretty but i don't have anything to use them for so i have given them to my little cousin as a present. I know she will love them more than i would ha ha.

If you would like to order anything of this website i do have a discount code which is CHST10, check back for future nail designs using these products. And if you have recently ordered from this website please feel free to leave a link down below i love looking what other people have purchased.

What can help you through a breakup...

Hi Guys, So if your going through a recent break-up, like me. Or need help with a friend who's going through a break-up then i hope my tips on what have helped me and other people i know help you. 

Buy a notepad and put a list of all the bad things you can think of about that person and then think "do I really deserve to let myself get upset over someone like this?"

Motivational quotes stuck everywhere!! On my mirror I had 'you won't feel like this forever' Next to my bed I had 'pat yourself on the back for getting through another day without him' etc...

Wear nice underwear and clothes!! How you dress can effect how you feel e.g. if you dress in all of your exs clothes your not allowing yourself to get him out of your mind, if you dress in black frumpy clothes your mood is going to be down and your going to feel self conscious. BUT if you put on a pair of your best looking underwear and wear your favorite and most colourful outfit it will make you feel confident, motivational, and brighter.

Take all the photos etc down, this is the first thing I did. The photos, memory box, clothes, video games, teddys everything that I could store away I did straight away!! That way you'll have less reminders of that person especially in a place where you are supposed to feel happier etc.

Delete them from social medias and their number etc. I did this so again you don't have a constant reminder of them and so you can't see anything that will hurt you even more. When you break up with them you want to text them a million times asking why and begging for them to come back. That is the worst thing you can do sadly. I luckily didn't know his number off the top of my head so I wrote it down and gave it to my mum so if I needed something like my clothes back etc eventually I could text him.

If you feel like you have to write to him write him an email but don't send it. Save it to your drafts because you will regret sending it and it will make you feel worse and it will save disappointment when they text back saying 'im sorry, really I am' for the hundredth time!!! (also when your over him you have the satisfaction of deleting the email instead of knowing he will)

Read blog posts like this or watch you tube videos about breakups, it makes you feel better that people are going or have gone through the same thing and are alright at the end of it.

It is okay to think about him/her. They were a big part of your life and you probably did have more good times then bad if they broke up with you without reason. And try and think positive that you had that person in your life for a while. Yes it sucks that it wasn't forever but at least you got to share some good experiences and memories with them. 

And it's normal to cry, but try not to. If you feel yourself beginning to cry shout at yourself say "no im stronger than this, im not letting him hurt me again" it actually works.

Dreams - i non-stop STILL dream about him every night and there not nasty dreams there days out we've already had together, things we had planned in the future, us getting back together. I just would advise you to make your bed and the space around it the tidiest, safe haven with candles and fairy lights. Just make it comfortable and a place you look forward to going to sleep in. Because if you have a messy bedroom it can play on your mood A LOT! because it doesn't just clutter your room it clutters your mind also and your already going through enough. 

Do everything you thought "i won't be able to do without them" if you have a favorite restaurant, shopping mall etc.. go with one of your favorite girlfriends or friends and have a good time. Don't stop doing the things you love just because someone doesn't want to share them with you! 

And lastly keep yourself busy and around people that love you unconditionally and remember that you will and can find happiness elsewhere!!!

TURN YOUR CANT'S INTO CANS

I can't do this - I can do this

I can't smile - I can smile

I can't be happy -I can be happy

This is just things that are helping me through a bad breakup. People will find different things and some of those things won't help you like they did me. But remember that you will feel better and I hope you do soon also!!

Glossy box Review: March 'Beauty Blossom' 2014

So this is what i got in my March 2014 glossy box. It is spring inspired and as they said, what you will need in spring time. You got 3 full sized products which i thought was really good! I think the range of products you got are good and if you would like to know more about my first thought of the products or more about them then please read on..

RRP: £36 for 180ml - mitchellandpeach.com

So this is the first product on the list. It is a Mitchell & Peach body cream. It has English honey, organic cocoa, vitamin B5 & shea butter in. It says it leaves your skin feeling soft and smelling like you've just walked in the English countryside!... Personally the smell reminds me of my nan ha ha i find this with every luxury product though. It does remind me of a English countryside and i can see where there coming from. I will give this a go if i don't like the smell etc, i will probably gift my nan with it.

RRP: £4.49 for 10g - sleekmakeup.com

 This is Sleek makeup pout polish. It is in color 'chocolate kiss' and is a tinted lip balm, it has SPF15, almond oil, shea butter & vitamin E. I have quickly tried this on my lips and it does give a nice natural tint to your lips but it did come off almost instantly! But i will try it again tomorrow. This was also a full size product.

RRP: £12.99 2.35g - bellapierre.co.uk

This is Bellapierre Cosmetics shimmer powder in 'penny' it is a lovely copper shimmer pigment/eye shadow. It says its 100% Mica and is long lasting. It says you can also mix it in with a blush, nail polish or lip gloss to create your own custom makeup. I tried the color on the back of my hand it its an absolutely gorgeous color and looks really pigmented and i cannot wait to use it!! P.s this is also a full size product.

RRP: £47 for 75ml - debenhams.com

These are two sample sized products of the new Juicy Couture Malibu Collection. I love love love that these are in spay bottles as it makes it so much easier and are perfect to keep in your purse on a night out. The one in the orange has passion fruit and jasmine and it smells absolutely amazing!! I would wear this one on a night out its such a glamorous smell. The one in the pink has mandarin and sweet pink sugar. I would wear this in the day time as its a sweeter smell than the other but they both, hands down are gorgeous and you need to go and smell these!!

RRP: £1.49 for 15ml - supermarket or boots etc...

And lastly this is the Dove Hair Therapy Intensive Repair 60 second Treatment shot. I love Dove hair products and can't wait to try out this new products. P.s this is a full size product.

Thanks for reading guys, and i hope you enjoyed this months glossy box as much as i did :)
