Bargain Buy

I'm a massive bargain hunter and as the song goes "I got it from my mama".

I was lusting after these boots since the day I laid eyes on them in Matalan, unfortunately, this day I was poor.
They were originally £22 which for a pair of boots isn't much at all but when you literally had £1.05 in 5p coins, they were expensive at the time.

After my sister managed to tare me away from them, I forgot about them and got on with my life, as you do, until today...
My sister and I decided to have a cheeky look in Matalan as she wanted to check out the work clothes as she's starting a new job Monday and of course I can't go in to a shop and not have a look for myself.
This is when I saw them but this time in the sale!

There were three pairs left and two were in my size (size 7 if ya wanna know) so I just had to pick up a pair and was gobsmacked to see that they were only £5, yes that's right, £5!!!
After seeing this price I just couldn't say no and snapped them up straight away.

Matalan...I love you  ♥

Hope you're well

Much love

This Week I've Been Loving... #1

I thought I'd start a 'This week i've been loving...' where I tell you what i've been raving about all week.

This week it's not anything exciting but I just had to show you my bargain bag!

I got this beaut of a bag from Tesco, yes, Tesco! It's from their Florence & Fred range (F&F) and was only £12.50!!
It's a pleather bag with tassels and I'm an absolute sucker for anything with tassels on. I previously owned a suede tassel shoulder bag which I bought off eBay but it broke after constant use so I was in desperate need for another.

I only nipped in to Tesco to pick up some groceries but when my sister dragged me in to the clothing aisle I couldn't resist a gander.
I'm always really impressed by some of the clothing that F&F do, It's not everybody's first instinct to look in a supermarket for clothing but when you do you can really find some gem items and for cheap too!

I'm really loving the bags they are selling at the moment, they look really expensive and I'm talking Zara lookalikes for quarter of the price!

So anyway that's what i've been loving this week, I highly advise you go and check out their bags, I think you'll be very surprised!

MUCH LOVE

MAC Madness

First things first...I can't believe my last post was in November 2012!? Madness! What with starting University i've completely neglected my blog!

Now It's coming towards the end of the summer hols, I thought i'd start blogging again as i've missed it and i've finally got the time, wooooo!

So, what better way to start off blogging again then to show you my most recent MAC eyeshadow purchases?

I only bought 4 eyeshadows but at £12.50 each I definitely think only buying 4 is more than acceptable!

The shades that I bought were Mythology (top left), Shroom (top right), Omega (bottom left) and Casino (bottom right).

I bought 'Mythology' and 'Casino' after watching a couple of make-up tutorials on YouTube and being inspired to try out a smokey eye look (Casino) as well as being more daring with the use of colours (Mythology).

I purchased 'Shroom' because I wanted an eyeshadow to use for my brow bone to enhance my eyebrows. This leads me to 'Omega' the eyeshadow that I use on my eyebrows, I've used this method for over a year now. It is the perfect shade to match my hair colour and doesn't give that ginger tinge to your eyebrows which some products do.

I used the eyeshadows 'Shroom' and 'Casino' last night as I wanted something subtle for going to the pub with some friends but to still look like I was making an effort!

Below are two photos of my make-up from last night (sorry about the quality, I only took quick phone photos).

I've ordered some more MAC products online today (i'm sorting out my make-up bag) and I'm thinking I might do a haul on YouTube followed by some tutorials...i'm still unsure but i'm considering it seeing as i've made a YouTube channel. I still haven't got my hands on a decent camera that records videos yet but my birthday is coming up soon so i've got my fingers crossed I get one come September...

LOTS OF LOVE
