OOTD: Flowery Leggings

Hello my lovelies, sorry for the lack of posting. I've been quite busy looking after my dad as he had a heart operation and I felt the need to look after him and help out my my mum with any jobs that she needed doing.
But dont fear! I have some makeup related posts coming up soon which I havent done in a while. There is a FOTD and a post about a lovely lipstick, and also a post about some skincare products that I bought.

Anyway, onto the outfit. I have never worn these leggings before because I always thought they looked a bit pyjamary? is that even a word? Well I always thought they looked like pyjamas but I decided to wear them today.

OOTD: Flowery Leggings: TU at Sainsburys
Tshirt: Next
Grey Leather Jacket: H&M
Military Boots: Primark

So that was my little OOTD, I look forward to the up and coming posts and hope you do too! If I havent mentioned please find me on lookbook and maybe hype some of my looks?
Until next time

Lush Minty Julips Review

Hello my lovely bloggeroos, this is just a little review on Lush's Minty Julips Lip Scrub which I bought about a week ago and can safely say that it works wonders! I bought this when I went to worcester to see The Social Network, See my review on the film here and had read some good things about it so was expecting it to turn out brilliantly... and it did!

Its basically just castor sugar with some jojoba oil, vanilla extract, peppermint oil and stuff to make it taste sort of chocolately too as it is peppermint and chocolate flavour. I really do love this little pot of minty sugar and its worked wonders for the dry skin on my lips and at £4.50 a pop its great!
Im without a doubt going to get the bubblegum flavour of this!
So thats my little review over, ooh and on another note there was a fire in the town where I live, im sure you all read about it from LLYMLRS, it burned down river island, the card factory, and some of anne summers! what a shame!
Anyway, Until next time
:)

The Social Network & Minty Julips

I had a very good time on Saturday. I went to Worcester by train with my two friends pictured below (Sophie & Shaunie) to watch The Social Network. It was a really good film about how Facebook was made and the story behind it is really interesting. There are some parts in the film which are just really funny and witty and some of the camera footage looks really great on the big screen.
As well as going to the cinema, we went round the Worcester shops and had a browse. I picked myself up a Minty Julips lip scrub from lush which I will be doing a review on soon for sure! But all I can say about it at the moment is that im really loving it!
Roll the photos...

[In order] Sophie & Shaunie on the train, Our subway after we had finished it, My lovely vanilla ice with cream in costa which i couldnt finish, Me Shaunie & Sophie posing and finally Shaunie & Sophie wearing hats which they fell in love with on the spot!
So thats my little post over with, I will be doing a review soon on The Minty Julips lip scrub and will be including lots of photos to accompany it!
Until then
:)

H&M Weekend Haul

Ola' blogettes! Thought I'd show you all what I bought when I went into town on sunday.
I aimed to not spend my money but as soon as I got into H&M it was like BAM! there goes all my money! So I bought four things but my camera ran out of charge before I could take a photograph of the last item. It was only a plain lilac coloured basic tee so nothing that interesting.

Black & White striped top: £4.99

Pale green pumps: £5.00 sale woohoo!






Grey leather jacket: £15.00 Sale again woohoo!

And finally I didnt buy this but I took a photo of my room because I thought it looked quite tidy hehe :)
So thats my small H&M haul done, I feel like I need to do a makeup haul soon, I havent bought makeup in soooo long which is weird for me because normally when I go to town I can easily just blow £30 on food and makeup haha!
Until next time
:)

Tuesday Summary

Hello again! I have decided to jump on the bandwagon with these "daily summary" thingies but instead of mine being on a sunday or a saturday mine is going to be on a Tuesday like today where I have my starting day of another week at college.

So lets go...
Tuesday Summary (No 1)

So today is tuesday which means im back at college again, luckily for me i have mondays off as well as the weekend so its like an extra long weekend for me woohoo!

Every tuesday we start a new project for the week, this week were doing punk fashion so today we started doing research into vivienne westwood who designed clothes for the sex pistols yadda yadda yadda.

Our tutor for this week is Sunny, hes very cool but a bit naggy if we talk when hes talking but hes designed clothes for Topshop which is so cool! and they even asked him to design a wallpaper to go on in display in the Topshop in London! how cool is that :) He even had photos to show us.

When I got home from college I had dinner: Chicken Pie omnomnom! and then I started on my Punk Fashion moodboard.

So thats it! and whilst im writing this I am currently looking for jobs online because im a skint student who needs more money for things she really needs: clothes, makeup and all that jazz :)

So i hope you liked my tuesday summary, i quite enjoyed doing that
I look forward to doing the next one!
Ooh and look at this picture I came across the other day


How epic is this cake! My friend made it for me for my birthday this year and I forgot to blog about it so heres a little photo of what it looked like!
Until next time

Barry M Lip Gloss Wand Review


I thought I'd do my first review on the lovely Barry M Lip Gloss Wands which I love! I bought one in the summer time whilst looking for a coral coloured lipgloss. I noticed that Barry M were having a 3 for 2 deal so I decided to take full advantage of it and buy myself a lipgloss with two other items (Which I will be reviewing soon)

So on to the lipgloss, Barry M have a real winner with this one in my opinion! The lipgloss is really pigmented and has great colour payoff. The consistency is very creamy and soft and it doesnt feel sticky at all! Even with the winter winds in england whislt im i'm walking around college, my hair doesnt get stuck to my lips haha! Which is always a bonus. The one thing I really love about these lipglosses is the smell and taste! I bought the shade "Coral" which tastes and smells like tutti frutti sweets which I love. The packaging is also very sleek and simple which looks really great in my makeup bag haha!

A Swatch of the lipgloss in natural light.

and finally a posey picture of me wearing the lovely lipgloss!

So thats was my first review, I hope it was helpful for you guys and I would advise you to buy this lipgloss, its really great :) I definetely have my eye on a couple more of these lipglosses, Theres a light pink one that calls my name every time I walk past it in the shop haha :)
Until next time

This or That Saturday: College Hairstyles


I have decided to do a weekly post where I post two pictures of something and then people comment down below saying which one they prefer. So.. for instance it could be that I post two photos of two shirts from the Topshop website and then you would say which one you like the best and why. I thought it would just be a fun way to see what clothes, or hairstyles, or shoes, or makeup items that people prefer :)

So here are my first two photographs



These are two photographs of me before college, On the left I went to bed with my hair in plaits and then took them out in the morning. In the one on the right I washed my hair in the morning and tried to put it up in a messy bun but for some reason to me "it just didnt look right" so in the end I decided to just take it out and do it again, but when I took my hair out I thought it looked quite nice so I sprayed it with hairspray and left it.
So the "This or That" for the first "This or That Saturday" is:
Wavy hair from plaits or Messy curlyish hair from a bun?
:)
