Mini haul!

Hiiiii.

Sorry I skipped posting last month, I got busy with school work, my room was being redecorated and then I couldn't find any time to edit the photos and then write up the post.

BUT.

I am going to post this one, and another, and then ANOTHER, because I skipped out last month. So, feel special. :)

If you couldn't tell by the title, then is is going to be a mini haul, as it is a filler. And when I say mini, I mean mini. There aren't that many things mentioned, which probably isn't that interesting for you to read but it's something.

I would also like to apologise for the lack of edited photos, but this is being completed in a rush.

So, let's get started!

So I bought 5 Seconds Of Summer's debut album, 5 Seconds Of Summer, and Ed Sheeran's new ablum, Multiply.

So I needed a brush cleaner, because I was using shampoo and it was making the fibres all greasy and ugh. The only reason I got it was because I had received new (expensive) brushes and didn't want them to end up as my other ones. Anyway, it's really good. I'll put the brushes in my next post, as I've just cleaned them.

I needed a dry shampoo that worked, and this was cheap in Boots the day I bought it and it was pink, so why not?

I saw Ebony Day use mousse in her 'Everyday Hair Style video (link below), but she used one by Aussie, and when I went to tescos, they didn't have it. Grr.
There was some deal on VO5, I can't remember what it was, but I got these. The 'Mega Hold' one is great, it's weather resistant which is great for England (it's either raining or it's sunny, it's just stopped raining and the sun's come out).

I'm not sure if you can remember, but from my Welsh haul I mentioned the facial scrub of this make. I recently discovered that you shouldn't use a scrub more than once a week, so I bought this facial wash, which has the same scent which I love.

May Favourites!

I know that I have already done a post today, but I need to post my May Favourites before the month is up.

This month, there are a range of favourites, some more unusual than my last favourites.

Let's get started!


This is the Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub by Neutrogena.
This stuff smells amazing, looks amazing and does the job it's supposed to. And it continues working instead of working the first time then just, not afterwards.

This is the TRESemme Keratin Smooth 7-day smooth system, which 'apparently' works through four washes.
I think it lasts through about two or three, and it's kind of a downer that you have to use 8-10 pumps, and have to straighten your hair after drying.
It is good though, and I have noticed vast improvements to the frizziness of my hair.

 This is the Daisy perfume by Marc Jacobs, and it is amazing. The only way I can describe this scent is, summer and freshly cut grass and flowers.
It is really pricey, but I've recieved it as a christmas present every year for about two years, and it is so good.

I mentioned both of these items in my previous post, and I understand why people rave about this foundation and Sleek blushers.
The foundation is quite thick, but does give the full coverage that I have been unable to find so far.
The blusher, as most Sleek products, is highly pigmented, but it gives good coverage and the 'Rose Gold' is just the most beautiful shimmery colour.

If you haven't heard of this book, then you've been living underneath a rock or something, because this book is amazing.
If you haven't read it, then go read it. After you've read this post.

Yes, I do play The Sims, and I received this expansion pack for my birthday, along with Pets.
This is my favourite expansion, as it comes with so much for kids, teens, adults, toddlers, babies, elders, it's just amazing.
This is definitely a recommended part for any aspiring sim-player.






I mentioned this in my last post, and this has wormed it's way here, as I love it so very much.
It is the Kate Moss Rockin' Curves mascara in Jet Black 004. It's a Broken-heart shaped brush, and is one of the best mascaras I have found in a while.










Some songs that I have been loving this month include-

-Only Love Can Hurt Like This- Paloma Faith
-Brush You Off My Heart- Ebony Day
-Turn Your Face- Little Mix
-Daniel In The Den- Bastille
-About The Boy- Little Mix
-Happily- One Direction

Finally, a TV programme that I have been loving is Ex on the Beach, which shows on MTV, tuesdays at 10pm.

Drugstore Haul!

I'm not sure if you know this, but I do LOVE going into drugstores like Boots and Superdrug and trying new things.

So, after having a week off from school, (thank the lord), you can probably guess that I went shopping. Well, you guessed right because I can now tell you guys what I got from Boots and Superdrug.

I am not rich, and I know that some of this stuff is expensive, though it is 3 for 2 across all cosmetics in Superdrug, so I took advantage of that.

It doesn't look like I bought a lot, though it was really heavy so I count that as a lot.

So first off, I went to Superdrug, which is one of my favourite places in the world.

Left to right-
Kate Moss Rockin' Curves Mascara - Jet Black 004
Sleek Blush- Rose Gold
Wake Me Up Foundation- 100 Ivory

Urban Fudge Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hairspray (Soft Touch Ani-Frizz Strong Hold)

-I actually got two new cans as it was 2 for £9,but I put them away so I took a picture of my almost-empty can.






These last two items were from Boots, one was an actual buy and the other an impulse. I won't say which was what.

An Abundance of Katerines- Book Review

If you read my last post, Birthday Shenanigans, you'd know that I received three books for my birthday about a fortnight ago.

Those books were, An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Let It Snow.

I recently finished reading An Abundance of Katherines, which I'm now going to abbreviate to AAoK, as typing it will get irritating and annoying.

Anyway, the book is about a child prodigy, Colin Singleton and his best friend, Hassan Harbish, a Judge Judy fan. During his life, Colin has dated 19 girls, and been dumped 19 times, all by girls named Katherine (spelt all the same way). After K-19 dumps him, Colin and Hassan decide to go on a road trip to try and cheer Colin up.

I won't reveal anything else incase you guys want to read it, but that's how it kind of starts.

BLURB-
19 KATHERINES AND COUNTING...

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a blood-thirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.

It is a great book, I would recommend it to anyone, though it does show some complicated math which, if you're not good at math like me, confused me.

All in all, it is a good book, and a must-have.

Birthday Shenanigans

Apologies for the very late post. Like, a week late. :(

So it was my birthday last Monday, 12/05/99, or for you Americans 05/12/99.

I meant to do this post earlier, though I need to order more batteries off of Amazon for my camera.  I also haven't taken pictures of all my presents, I took pictures of the odd few.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson- John Green & David Levithan
Let it Snow- John Green, Maureen Johnson & Lauren Myracle
An Abundance of Katherines- John Green

I did ask for these, as I wanted to read them and it was close for birthday, so don't take the mick.

I love these, granted I only ever eat three types of these, but I still like to eat them.

I got this scarf from the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Watford, I've been there three times, hopefully I'll do a post on that at some point. My Granddad drove for two hours to get me this, bless him.

I'm in Ravenclaw, not sure why, I'm not that clever. I guess the Sorting Hat got it wrong.

Rimmel London I <3 Lasting Finish in
-406 Cute as a kitten heel
-403 The high heel life
-300 Pop your pink

Then just some polish remover pads, which are a life saver for on-the-go.

My step-dad bought these for me and I didn't find out until that very night, and oh my gosh, I was screaming.

I love Little Mix, they are one of my favourite groups, and they are really good live.

It was one of the best nights of my life, I'll do a post soon going into more details, hopefully.

Holiday Haul!

Taking into consideration that I've had two and a half weeks off from school, you can understand that I may've been under the influence of said 'retail therapy'.

I can't lie, yes I have been influenced by the wonderfulness of the shops in the places that I have been to.

Also, I have spent quite quite a bit, and have, stocked up on items, shall we say.

So, I decided to do a haul post, because I like to share what I've bought with you guys.

For some of these, I was in Wales, and for others I was in my hometown. 

Links at the end, as usual!

Enjoy :)
