Tiny haul..♥

So I went to town again, and bought a couple of cheap items, just to build up my wardrobe as I had a massssive wardrobe clear out and barely had anything left, hehe.

The first thing I got from Primark were these Jeggings, which are only £8, that's amazing! Ive needed some new jeggings for agessss, as my other ones from Newlook have a whole in them, from when I fell over-_- haha. Sorry I didn't take a picture of them full, but they're basically just normal, lightwash jeggings. They also have really pretty detailing on the pockets. 

The next thing I got was this really cute charm necklace, which was only £1.50 from Primark! But I mean, from Primark it wasn't exactly going to be expencive was it.. :) It's so sweet, it has a gold chain with a lovely bird charm.



And the last thing I bought was from H&M, and it's this cute top, with a ditsy flower pattern all over it and a big 'Peace' sign. I love it, I just think it's just really cute and casual. This was around £8.99.

The pattern up close, sorry it's blury!


So that's it, for the tiniest haul ever.. hehe. Thankyou for reading,

Outfit and makeup of the day- shopping♥

♥ This is my outfit and makeup for the day (wednesday), i was just having a look around town and i bought a few bits which i'll show in a little haul :).

♥ This is my outfit, the shorts are the same ones which I put in my last post. I wore a Navy blue and white stripey jumper from h&m, high-wasited shorts from Newlook, a long necklace, a cardigan from h&m, and Blue flowery pumps also from Newlook, which i bought a couple/few months ago. 


♥ And this is the makeup. I wore the Maybelline dream creamy foundation, Collection 2000 concealer, Rimmel Mousse eye shadow in 'Sassy' with mac 'Sable' in crease, and MUA eyeshadow in 'Shade 1' in inner corner. The Maybelline felt tip eyeliner across upper lash line with a tiny flick, and Collection 2000's big fake lash mascara. No blush but mac's 'Lovelorn' lipstick on my lips, and after I took the pictures I applied the L'Oreal Glam shine Reflexion lipgloss, in Watermelon.

♥ And that's it, I will post the haul tomorrow :). Thankyou for reading,
Abbie

Summer haul

♥ So I went into town the other day and brought a few summery bits of clothing, otherwise i'll be living in jeans for summer :). Everything I bought was from Newlook, as i found a lovely 20% off everything voucher in Newlook for online and in-store. There is also another thing which I got when I went to Bournemouth, a couple of days after. 

♥ The first thing I got was this lovely, floraly summer dress, which was around £15-16, and i love it- it's so pretty! It looks a kind of weird shape in the pictures, but in my opninion it looks a lot better on! haha. It has a pretty bow at the back, which creates a bit more shape to it :) It has a gorgeous ditsy print all over it.

Back
♥ The next thing I got were these high-waisted, denim shorts. These were originally around £21, but as you can see, a button was missing and these were the only ones in my size and we'd have to replace all the buttons really, so my mum got them down to £16, hehe. 


♥ I got this necklace, also from Newlook, and it was £5.99. It's gold and has bunches of leaves and pearls all over it, very pretty! Sorry the picture doesn't show it too well.


♥ And that's it for that day! Then I went to Bournemouth and went to mac.. and got this amazing lipstick, in 'Lovelorn' (a lustre) it is super pretty! It's basically a blue-toned pink, but it's not too bright or in your face, just perfect hehe :). It was £13.50, just like any other mac lipstick. 


♥ So that's it. I have another haul coming up soon, probably in a couple of days time :). Everything from Newlook was meant to add up to about £42, but because of the discount on the shorts and the voucher, it came to £28.40, i think, Smart shopper right here! And including the mac lipstick it adds to nearly £42 again, not so smart.. ;) hehe.

New house, new room, best friend, fake tan♥

♥ Today i woke up very early for me, and for a saturday! About 8:15 :) Anyway i'm just thinking how much i'm gonna miss my best friend Shannon, because she's going to Paris today for 4 days and i know that's not long but we literally talk every single day (without fail ;) and it's really expencive abroad so.. :/ yaaa, but we're hopefully meeting up again in this half term. 

♥ Today i'm going to be looking around a house with my mum, as we may be moving soon. :) That's at 12:30 so i have a long time, i only need to shower and get ready. I'm hoping this house will be good!

♥ Today or tomorrow i'm hoooping i can get to town, as i found a 20% discount voucher for anything in newloook which can be spent online or in-store, and it ends tomorrow so i want to get a few things (for summer!). I really need summer clothes, i'm still in jeans and it's too hot ;) The weather is absolutely gorgeous here in England now! Like yesterday, when i was coming back from school i was like sweating! That sounds weird, but it was soo hot. 

♥ I am just sitting here on my laptop and watching the music channel, and Black and Yellow just came on- love.this.song. Yeah ahaa you know what it is ;) I have also been loving Bruno Mars, since my mum got his cd and it's been playing non-stop! I absolutely love runaway baby, talking to the moon, and marry me. Ahh, the cd's so summery aswell!- the songs are really upbeat and fun(: I'm also loving Katy Perry's new song e.t, but i pretty much love every one of her songs. :)

Yesterday, we ended school at 12:30 so when i got back i decided to have a shower (and exfoliate), moisturise, put a load of fake tan on (st Moriz- love!) and give myself a little pedicure!;) I'm just about to have a shower now, so the excess fake tan and smell will go, and i'll be left with a nice tan! :) I'm soo in the mood for summer!

Also!, in the Easter holidays i'm hopefully going to get my bedroom re-decorated! Woo, i'm not sure exactly when it's going to be done but i'll definately do a blog post on it with pictures! :)

I basically just felt like rambling on about things today, sorry about that, hehe.

beauty&fashion favourites.. march

I'm writing this on the last day of March, and this has been an okaaay month actually, the weather was lovely.. for about a week, hehe. I'm just waiting for it to come back.. :) Anyway these are a few (mainly beauty related) things that i havn't stopped using!

A lottt in this past month i have been applying this gorgeous nail polish- which is the Avon nailwear pro in 'Viva Pink'. It is amazing. It's the perfect bright pink colour, and looks really nice on my skin tone, which usually bright pinks don't. It's actually my mums and she loves it too but... i think i may steal it, hehe- well i already have. 


The John Frieda frizz-ease hair serum (normal formula), this has been great for the last couple of months where there's been a bit of fog and dampness in the air. It just keeps your hair smooth and sleek all day long without frizz.

I love my qvs duo-fibre stippling brush, which i got ageess ago but i STILL love it. I use it for my foundation and it's sooo much better and easier for me than using the normal foundation brush, which now i find leaves streaks and lines and takes a lot more time to apply- this just creates a flawless and even effect, I got it from Superdrug, and highhhly recommend it, it wasn't even very expencive! 

And the last thing, and DEFINATELY my favourite at the moment is my mac select moisturecover concealer. It is a-m-a-z-i-n-g for undereyes, which is all i really use concealer for. I occasionally dot some around my nose area and any other blemishes and it works great for that too. I adore this, it's a biiiit pricey for what i'd usually pay for a concealer but i am definately going straight back and re-purchasing when it runs out. :)

Well that's it for my 'favourites of the month', there wasn't actually very much, but i suppose i havnt been loving a lot this month. Thanks for reading!

sunshine makes everything better ♥

it's sunny! woooop. It feels like forever that we've been waiting for this sun, and this week just gone has been beautiful, i'm hoping for the same this week. Everything about the sun makes things better in life to be honest- no more getting wet on the way to school, brighter evenings, lips less dry- able to wear lipstick again!;), better days out, summer clothes- everything! And hopefully this summer will be a good one too, well that's optimistic thinking! ;) 

Hmm.. so this week i have to read this dull book for an english assessment by friday, learn my German speaking assessment, revise for Science and Maths tests this week, and perform this stupid play in drama-_- Anything else they wanna add to my exciting week!? Plus, i feel like i'm coming down this a cold, so i've been drinking vitamin C tablets everyday- i'm determined not to get one! I'm also thinking of completely clearing out my wardrobe to ditch and sell old clothes. I want to get this week out the way, ready for next weekend:) I don't have any definite plans at the moment, but me and a friend are planning on going to the cinema and i think i'm seeing my nan aswell, so that will be nice.

Bit of a life-story up there^.

Dinner outfit ♥

so I went out for lunch/dinner with my friend the other day, to the harvester and it was gorrrgeous!;) I had the spicy chicken breast with chips, corn-on-the-cob and piri piri sauce, a re-fillable salad bowl, and a humongous 'honeycomb explosion'. At the end we were so full up we could have burst, and we had to walk back-_- hehe, but it was lush. 

And on to the point of this blog post, this is what i wore..



♥ I dont know why the pictures are really blury! But nevermind, that's what i wore- a floral dress/top, with thick grey woolly tights, brown boots, a white scarf and i also wore a cardigan on top. With my hair in a messy, high bun.

I can't remember the exact makeup i wore, but pretty much.. A light, shimmery eyeshadow all over the lid, browbone and inner-corner, with a darker shadow in the crease (mac- sable), a thin line of liquid liner and mascara. I would have worn the no7 tinted moisturiser in medium, mac studio-fix concealer under eyes, maybelline powder and mac springsheen blush.

That's it, it was a really good day. After we walked back to my friends house and took her brother to prom, and watched everyone arrive. I ended up sleeping round hers then the next day we went shopping and to ikea. :)
