Haul (and Christmas!)

I went on a little shopping spree last week. I think it was a mixture of being pretty poorly and feeling sorry!

Here are my spoils!

Most of the things I bought were online purchases - Forever 21, Feel Unique and MUA. I have been a bit naughty but I have also thought of others!

Forever 21 - Abstract Pink Stripe Top - £3.99 (Sale)

Forever 21 - Loomed Earrings - 99p (Sale)

Forever 21 - Sparkle Bead Necklace - £1.99 (Sale)

Collection 2000 - Pressed Powder Ivory - £1.99 (Bought from Morrisons)

Forever 21 - Ooh La La Socks - £1.50 

Forever 21 - Mother of Pearl Necklace - £2.99 (Sale)

Forever 21 - Bead Metallic Hoop Earrings - £1.99 (Sale)

MUA Cosmetics (Online) - Undressed Palette - £3 (special offer) - I bought 3 of these, one for me and 2 for presents!

MUA Cosmetics (Online) - Lipstick 15 Juicy - £1

Forever 21 - Metallic Striped Tank - £4.99 (Sale)

Forever 21 - Threaded Teardrop Earrings - 99p (Sale)

Tresemme Reconstructing Deep Conditioning Masque - £4.50 (Bought from Morrisons)

Elemis Revitalising Skincare Anniversary Collection - Limited Edition - £36 (Sale) (Feelunique.com)

Which includes 3 products I use as my usual skin care so this was a massive bargain for me as the 3 products full priced would have cost me £60+! (Tempted to buy another and store it all away!)

I also made a few cheeky purchases on CheapSmells.com for Christmas presents! I am always thinking ahead! They have some good bargains on at the moment!

Have you started any Christmas shopping yet or are you not quite as nuts as me?!

Salt and Pepper W7 Polish NOTD

W7 Salt and Pepper - £1.99

I have been wearing this for the last few weeks since I bought it. 

I have had so many compliments on it. 

It is a white polish with black/silver glitter in it. 

I believe it is meant to be a dupe of a Nails Inc. nail effect polish but I think it is great on it's own merit. 

It lasts a long time without chipping. 

This is after 3 coats. 

Impressed with W7 so I bought a couple more!

New £5 Shoes!

A few weeks ago I was on twitter and someone mentioned the website everything5pounds.com, where as the name suggests, everything is £5.

Now I have visited this site before and didn't find anything I liked. But this time I got quite excited when I found these shoes for a fiver each (obviously) and couldn't resist a cheeky purchase!

I have been following VIPXO's blog for some time and I first wanted some glittery loafers when she featured a pair on her Wishlist Ebay Basket post here (CLICK). I never seemed to get round to buying them until now!

I bought 2 pairs as you can see. A champagne pair and a black pair. Now for £5 each I think these are a bargain, obviously they aren't the best quality ever but nothing worse than you would find in high street stores.

These will definitely be getting worn over the summer through to winter.

Glitter Slipper Style Shoes - Champagne

Glitter Slipper Style Shoes - Black

What attracted me to these flatform wedges were the height of the soles. I have a few maxi dresses which are just too long for me. I don't have the skills to take them up but with these bad boys I can now wear them without trailing them on the floor cleaning it as I go!

PVC Thick Strap Platform Sandles - Camel

Like I say, these aren't the best quality but they do the job and for £5 + p&p you can't really grumble! The p&p depends on how much you buy, for these 3 pair it was around £6, making these pairs £7 each which I still think is a bargain!

Have you ever bought anything from here or know any similar concept sites?!

Yankee Splurge!

My nose has been costing me money right now!

I have bought 5 Yankee Candles in the last 3 days. Anyone who has tried Yankee Candles knows how amazing they can smell!

I am obsessed with Christmas and we are on the run up to this years Christmas (well in my head we are...only 150 days away!). So when I saw some Christmasy smelling samplers I had to try them, along with a few others. I love opening my draw I keep them in and getting a wiff of Christmas!

Baby Powder 

This smells exactly like Johnson's Baby Powder. It is really fragrant and fills up a room really quickly! This was a 'Fragrance of the Month' in the shop I got it in (one upstairs in Meadowhall!) so this small jar was only £5.99.

Wedding Day

I bought this with the intention of giving it to my friend on the morning of her wedding so we can have a nice smelling room to get ready in! But I have decided I want to keep it for myself! I think I will try and find a jar one to give to her.

Christmas Cupcake

I bought this one as a tart for my mum last Christmas and the burner ended up in my room for most of the festive period! It is gorgeous because it is a sweet subtle spice scent which is perfect for me as I burnt the Cinnamon Sticks one in the past and it gave me a splitting headache!

Home Sweet Home

This is a candle I have mmm'd an ahhh'd about for some time now. I wanted to buy a large jar of it for Christmas and had it in my basket many a time but I had never actually smelt it until this week. It is a cinnamonny spicy, wood smell which is so Christmas but I am not too sure if it will give me a headache! So now I can try it before I spend £20 on a big one! If I do like it I think I will be buying a few small jars and shades for all my friends this year.

Balsam & Cedar

This reminds me of a cross between Christmas trees, pine toilet freshener and old men (not sure why!) but I really like it! Think of my Baby powder has gone I shall be getting this one started!

Car Gel - Merry Christmas - Including the scents Mistletoe, Christmas Cookie and Christmas Eve

Last but not least is this pack of 3 'Merry Christmas' Car Gel's! I could not resist this in House of Fraiser in Doncaster a few weeks ago. From November to January my car will smell like Santa's Sleigh! I think these cost around £3. 

All of the samplers were bought from House of Fraser in Doncaster and ranged for 80p to £1.80 (I cant remember which were which!). If you live in Doncaster you have to go to House of Fraser because they do lots of discounted Yankee Candles and accessories! When I am in there I never want to leave!

If you don't live anywhere near Doncaster I have found this website  (CLICK!) which seems very reasonable for Yankee lovers!

What is your favorite candle I need to try?!

NOTD Rainbow

I have only ever tried this Marks and Spencer Long Wear Nail Lacquer but I love it! The formulation is just right, not too thick or thin. It drys mega quick to a high sine finish.

This shade is Rainbow and gives a gorgeous hologram effect!

Love it!

Though I think it may have been discontinued as I can't find it on their website! I hate it when that happens!
