My New Boots advantage card & haul!

 
Me again,
the other day my new Boots advantage card came in the post! I can't believe how excited i was over a silly piece of plastic, oh well...
 
 
For those that don't know what a Boots advantage card is, i'll explain : )
Basically it's a card and whenever you buy something from Boots they'll ask for your card, you give it them and then you gain points! You get 4 points for every pound you spend and one point is one penny! The best thing about it is that you can buy products with your points if you have enough! (so like a free product really)
 
 
So with my new advantage card, i thought i might aswell go and treat myself to a few new products..
Very recently i saw a review on Zoellas youtube channel all about high street/drugstore foundations and i liked the sound of the rimmel wake me up foundation... so i went and treated myself to it! : )
 

Rimmel wake me up foundation; £8.99
 
I bought it in the shade 100 ivory! It sounded really good how it has an 'anti-fatigue and radiant glow' and the it has my favourite colour lid so i knew i had to have it!! Also it had really nice packaging as it is glass and has quite an unusual shape aswell!
 
I also bought myself a new blusher...
 

 
How beautiful is the inprint in the blusher! I just love it! : )

 
I bought it in shade 04 trouble, which is this super pretty rose pink colour and has a gorgeous shimmer to it!

Collection blush; £2.99
 
I also treated myself to two new nail polishes...
The first one is this number 17 nail polish, i bought it because i really wanted a nude nail polish and i really like the colour of this one! It's in the colour 'forever' which is a really pretty nude!
 

17 lasting fix nail polish; £2.99
 
The second nail polish is this very edgey metalic grey, i think that it's a really nice polish and is a great to wear with a monochrome outfit! I bought the collection 60seconds in shade '50 all that jazz'!
Also it reminds me of galaxy print!

Collection 60seconds hot looks nail polish; £2.99
 
Oh i do love my make up to have orange packaging : ) heheh..
 
 
I hopefully should be doing a review on some of the products that i have bought lately! so keep an eye out for it, hehe : )
 
Toodlepip lovelys!

Big Primark Haul

I can't believe it's been a week since i've done a post!:o shocker! It's mainly because i haven't been very well lately and have felt a little down :(
I've been meaning to do a little post whilst i've been ill but haven't really had the energy too! sorry.
 
Erm so i thought i'd put together a primark haul for you and everybody loves a primark haul... i think it's because primark doesn't have a website so people can't really see whats in primark at the moment!
 
So this is more like a collective haul really, i picked out most of the things that i've bought from primark recently and i thought i'd put them into a haul! : )
 
Let's get started...
 

 
So first off i bought some black tights, i actually bought a couple of pairs but why not there only £2 a pair! I bought them in 80 denier (theres a big kinda clue as the first photo has a big red 80, haha).

 
I actually bought this purse for myself quite a while ago, its only the second purse ive had from primark in my whole life as i did buy on when i was much younger but one of the card slot thing was like glued together so i couldn't fit one in so i wasn't very happy and then never really bought one because of that. But i liked the colour of it, the gold edging and the quilted pattern and that was only 5 pounds! (i was rambling on there and it's a big story just for one purse hahaha).



 
I then did a little fashion DIY... i've always wanted something camoflauge but never really thought i could pull off the camo jacket, but i saw this camo vest and i really liked it apart from it had these plastic diamonds all along the arm bit and it looked very tacky and the diamonds made a noise when i walked so i got some scissors and nail clippers and removed them all (it took a long time but was worth it as i like it alot more and all for £6).



 
I then saw this very cute embroidered khaki top which had little brushed gold beads in the shape of crosses stitched onto it... i just couldn't resist! : )



 
I also picked up this super cute knitted jumper, i bought it in a bigger size to make it look like an over-sized jumper. It has pink, blue, yellow and coral wool all knitted together and is super soft too! And for 10 pound who can say no! It's so pretty!



 
Now i've seen this chiffon blouse a couple of times in a different few blogs but the first time i saw it was in Zoellas blog and i just fell in love! It's this really cute white chiffon blouse with black lower case reverse and upside down alphabet on it! It has a cute little collar, tiny little black buttons, and wide almost back winged sleeves!


 
I have also seet this top in a couple of blogs and i really wanted it! It's a pale grey colour, with black speckled flecks through it, it's got a scooped neckline, three-quarter dropped sleeves and a bandeau style back!(basically the backs longer than the front!) It's so comfy and was only 6 pounds!! B A R G A I N
 
So quite a long haul and i've been rambling on a little but i hope i've shown you things which you might like to go and buy yourself! Thanks for reading it (if you've got this far.. well done!)
 
Toodlepip!

Mini beauty & skincare haul..

Hi dolls,
so after having a crisis this morning just before i was about to go to town, i looked in the mirror and my skin looked absolutely shocking. It looked so dry and my foundation looked so bad because of how my skin was:(!
Thats when i realised i needed to sort my skincare out and get into a routine (as well ive got my prom coming up soon and will be having a spray tan so i dont want to have a patchy face:p)
So whilst i was in town i thought id pick up some new skincare products and i just couldnt help myself from picking up a few beauty products too (i say a few i mean two, hahah)...









Simple kind to skin vital vitamin night cream; £2.85
Simple spotless skin triple action face wash; £1.99
Collection 2000 longer lash lengthening mascara; £2.99
Barry M nail polish, 306 Blueberry I/C; £2.99
 
So i picked up a Barry M nail polish:D! After watching Zoella's vlog where she bought a Barry M nail polish in 'blueberry' i just knew i had to have it, as it looked so pretty on her!
So whilst i was in town i thought 'ooo ill nip over to the barry m stand and find that nail polish'..
i bought the nail polish what said 'blueberry' got home painted my nails watched Zoe's vlog only to realise that Zoe bought the Barry M Gelly high shine nail polish which looked totally different to mine and now i dont really like the one i bought... typical:(
 But anyway ive bought it now so im just going to have to get used to it (maybe its more of a summer colour.. thats if we get a summer):p
So in an attempt to make me like it i decided to paint a clear with gold glitter nail polish on top of the fourth finger.. what do yo think?
 

 
Anyways this is quite a long post for such a small haul, hahah so please let me know what you think, and if you have any great tips or products that you've used for combination skin please let me know!
Also whats your favourite nail polish?:):)
thanks lovelys
