Pucker Up For Heavens Sake, There's Never Been So Much At Stake

Hey!

Today's blog is me somewhat confronting my hoarding for certain things..

There's a stupid amount of things that I hoard, including train tickets, spoons (don't ask..), things relating to birds and bird cages, and empty perfume bottles.

However to limit the amount of crazy in this post I'll just go into detail about four of them..

Empty glass bottles

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea why I feel the need to keep empty glass bottles.. I always have done and they only go when my mum barges in and takes them away, which usually results in me not talking to her for a couple of hours.. I would just like to point out that the three bottles in the picture (there are more hiding around my room) are all a brand of cider called Rekorderlig. If you haven't tried them then GET ON IT!! They don't taste like normal cider, they're so fruity and light, it's ridiculous how fast I can get through a bottle! 

Sunglasses

So I have 9 pairs of sunglasses (and another pair on the way..). No, a normal person doesn't need this many pairs of sunglasses. I know that I definitely need two, a prescription pair and a normal pair. But 9? Nah. There are three pairs of Ray Bans in there so you can guess how much I've spent on sunglasses over the last three years...

Lipsticks

Now this one genuinely baffles me. There are 9 (and probably more hidden away) lipsticks in my possession. Do I wear them? No. The only time I would wear lipstick is on a night out, and even then I favour a stain/balm over a stick or a gloss. I should really stop buying them but they're just so pretty it's hard to say goodbye!

Pencils

All aboard the crazy train! Seriously, again, no idea why I need so many pencils. The ones in the picture are only about half of the amount I have, and they're not even colouring pencils..they're normal HB! When I was at school I was all over stationary and was pretty obsessed with having new pens, pencils, pencil cases etc so it's probably stuck from there. Even now at uni, when I only really need a pen if I don't have my laptop, I still buy a new pencil case every year and make sure it's stocked up!

So that's enough crazy for one day...

See you next time :)

Things That Feel Good Are Things That Don't Last

First of all, Happy belated Easter!

Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was great, especially with it being kicked off on Good Friday with a trip to Southampton with two of my friends for a day of shopping.

This post is mostly a haul of everything as well as a few product reviews.

Boots

Seeing as I practically live in Boots it seemed like a good place to start with the reviews. Once again, I took advantage of their current 3 for 2 offer but surprisingly not on nail polish! The three items that I got were...

One

Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

I have to say, I am in love with this mascara. I never really used to be a massive fan of mascara, as I have quite long eyelashes naturally. However, unlike other mascara's I have, this one glides on with total ease and doesn't clump at all.

Rocket Volum' Mascara used on top lashes. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express used on bottom lashes.

Two

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Cream Gel Shadow in Pink Gold.

I got bought a couple of these by my friends while they were out in America over the New Year and I've fallen head over heels for them! When I saw this colour I knew I just had to get it. When they say it lasts for 24 hours, it really does. At no point during the day do I have to sneak off and touch it up and it's a great colour to wear for a natural day-to-day look. The picture above of me wearing the Maybelline Rocket Volum' Mascara also shows me wearing Pink Gold, blended with Bad To The Bronze in the outer corner.

Three

Boots Seventeen Berry Crush Lipstain. I can't remember what shade it is I bought but judging by the colours on the website I think it's Cherry Berry.

This is a product that I'll definitely be wearing on nights out. I love the colour and adore that it comes with a balm to set in the colour.

Primark

Normally, I detest the idea of going into a Primark. I'd rather buy slightly more expensive, good quality clothes instead of getting a cheap fix. However on this trip I found quite a few items that I really liked from the word go.

Ikea

I won't lie, if I could live in Ikea, I probably would. In the case of a zombie apocalypse it's probably the first place I'd try to get to, even though the nearest one to me is about 35 miles away.

So that's everything!

See you next time :)
