1 + 2 - I love this bikini! The ice cream pattern is so cute and the pink and yellow looks so good together.

3 - I'm obsessed with panda's so as soon as I saw these cute panda earrings I wanted them.

4 + 5 - I want to get an organiser to use as a diary and writing down things for blog posts and stuff. I like both of these organisers and I can't decide which one to get, let me know what you think?

Haul: Primark

I wanted to post this up on Monday but then my computer decided to get sick and needed to go to PC hospital aka my dad. I finally got it back yesterday so here are my Primark purchases that I bought recently.

I bought 3 makeup products from their new range. 

I was just going to buy the eyeliner pen as I need a new one but while I was looking at the makeup I thought I'd grab a brow pencil to try out and some coloured eye pencils. The eyeliner was £1.50, the brow pencil was £1 and the eyeliners were £1, so cheap!

I will try these out and get a post up on these soon.

Next up I bought 3 clothing items.

As soon as I saw this top hanging up I had to get it, I love ponies and these just look so cute. It has mesh sleeves and some little black diamantes on the ponies eye. It's kind of a long loose top so I may wear this with some leggings. This was in the sale and only £3.

I bought this gorgeous floral dress, I love this style of dress and the colours are really pretty. This will be perfect to wear in the summertime. This was £5.

You can't really tell from the photo but this next dress is neon yellow and really bright. I can't wait to wear this dress as I think the shape of it will look really lovely on. This was £5.

Wishlist #4

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

1 - I think this dress is gorgeous, it's all floaty with some strap detail at the back and I think this would be great to wear to the beach or out in the evening with some heels.

2 - These jars are so cute and pretty, I'm not sure what I'd put in them but they'd look so lovely on display somewhere.

3 - I was having a browse through Missguided's new in section and I found this skirt, the floral pattern and neon colours just look gorgeous.

4 - I've had my eye on this bag for a while, the light blue is so pretty and I love the shape of it.

5 - I received an email from Irregular Choice this week with a photo of these shoes and I was like 'OMG, I need those'.

6 - Sleek have recently brought out a new foundation and as I only have one foundation at the moment I'd quite like to try this out as they have a few light shades.

Review: Avon Color Trend Naughty Or Nice Lipstick in Twisted Sister

I recently bought a new lipstick from Avon as it was a new product and looked a bit different. It's their Color Trend Naughty Or Nice Lipstick in Twisted Sister, they have 4 different shades in total. They currently cost £2.50 as they're new but will normally be £4. This is the first lipstick I've tried from their Color Trend collection.

It has pretty packaging and you can see the colour of the lipstick through the clear bit of plastic in the middle which is very handy. 

This lipstick is quite different though as it contains 2 shades of lipsticks in the same stick, the shade I bought has one half orange and the other half pink. I applied the orange to my top lip and the pink to my bottom lip and I actually quite like how it looks and may wear it out one day if I'm feeling brave.

Both shades give quite good coverage, the orange is a bit more sheer than the pink. I applied it to my lips straight from the lipstick which was rather difficult and you can see from the photo that the edges aren't very clean. I would recommend applying this using a lip brush. This lipstick feels quite moisturising on the lips and doesn't seem to dry them out. I found it lasted quite well but came off quite a bit after eating.

Would you try this lipstick or one of the other shades?

Wishlist #3

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

1 - I actually found this quite a while ago but it looks really pretty and would be perfect for daytime or nighttime.

2 - This is the new MAC eyeshadow quad from the Kelly Osbourne collection which I think looks amazing. These eyeshadow colours look really lovely and the lilac packaging is so pretty, I really want to get something from this collection.

3 - I saw a swatch of this eyeshadow on a another blog (which I can't remember now) but it just looks gorgeous and I do love my green eyeshadows.

4 - I don't have many jackets/blazers as I'm really fussy but this one is lovely, I'm really into florals lately and the style looks really flattering.

5 - I absolutely love heels and these look so pretty with the floral design and straps. You can never have too many shoes.

6 - I so need this, my under eye dark circles are quite bad so hopefully this will lighten them up for me and I can look less like a zombie.

Review: Rimmel BB Cream Matte

As it's getting a bit warmer I don't really want to be wearing foundation all the time, I want something a bit lighter so thought I'd try out a BB cream. 

BB cream's are an all in one product, replacing serum, moisturiser, primer, foundation and sun cream. They can be worn alone or with other products depending on the coverage you want.

I chose the Rimmel BB Cream Matte in Very Light as I have oily/combination skin so want to make sure I'm not looking shiny and the colour match is quite good for me. 

I've worn this a few times this year and I think it's quite good. It gives a slight tint to the skin which evens out the skintone nicely and it definitely mattifies my skin which is what I need. It's a really light creamy texture and blends out well on the skin for a lovely natural look.

What do you prefer to wear for a base when it's warmer?

Wishlist #2

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

1 - I love unicorns and when I found this notebook I just loved it.

2 - I saw this eyeshadow palette on the Sleek website and the pastel colours just look lovely and would be great for the summer.

3 - I came across this blush palette on The A Style and the colours just look so pretty and bright.

4 - My current desk is starting to get a bit tatty so I want to get a new one and this desk from Ikea would just be perfect.

5 + 6 - I've wanted some flower print leggings for ages and I think they would look lovely with this loose floaty white top.

Summer Heels

I have quite a large collection of shoes and I'm hoping to wear more of them this year so I thought I'd show you my more summery ones. Some of them I haven't actually worn yet so I'm going to wear them this year.

Unfortunately all these shoes are no longer in stores as I've had them all at least a year or more. I attempted to find some similar shoes to these that are currently in stores and reasonably priced for you. 

I wasn't able to find some white studded heeled sandals which I was very shocked by but there are plenty of studded flats around. 

I found some coral shoes quite similar to mine just without the straps.

New Look - £19.99

I found some white wedges which are almost identical to mine.

New Look - £19.99

It was quite difficult to find some shoes similar to my peach ones with the tie bows but I found these which are kind of similar as they are a peachy colour and have bows on the toes.

Dress Lily - £22.96

Finding something similar to my cream and mint sandals with the bow was really difficult. I found these shoes which I actually really like and I'm quite tempted to buy them when I have some money.

Dress Lily - £20.11

I also found these mint green shoes which are in a similar style to mine.

Topshop - £58

My black and white wedges are kind of nautical looking so I couldn't find any like that but there are some plain black wedges around.

New Look - £17.99

Finding something similar to my animal print sandals was also really difficult as they are quite unusual. There are quite a few animal print shoes around but I found these which tie up the foot a bit more like mine.

Viva La Diva - £50

I love my turquoise slingback shoes and I found these slingbacks which are a lighter shade than mine.

Debenhams - £40

Finding some denim sandals was also quite difficult but I managed to find this pair.

Yoox - £73

What kind of shoes do you like to wear in the summer?

Review: Avon Aero Volume Mascara

I've got another Avon mascara which has recently come out, it's the Aero Volume Mascara. This mascara is inspired by aerospace technology and built with lightweight fibres which volumise and lift the lashes. It has long fibres which distribute evenly across the lashes so it's not as heavy on the lashes.

It's got lovely blue packaging and a star shaped bristle brush. I got the shade Blackest Black for £5 as they have an offer on currently, it will normally be £8.50.

Since I bought the L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara I don't think any other mascara is going to top that at the moment in my opinion. Although if I don't want my lashes looking too dramatic then this new Avon mascara will be perfect.

I applied 2 coats of the mascara and it does lift the lashes slightly and give them more volume. I found it seperated the lashes quite well and they didn't clump together. Supposedly this mascara is not as heavy on the lashes and I think this is true as unless I look in the mirror I can't really tell I'm wearing mascara.

Wishlist #1

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

There's so many things that I want to buy and I thought I'd show you a few of them each week to give you an insight into the kind of things I like.

1 - I really like Cher Lloyd's latest single Sirens so want to get her album to see what the rest of her songs are like.

2 - I just think this bag is so pretty, it's pink and cream and has little bow on it.

3 - I'm not usually that into Kate Moss's collection for Topshop but this white dress looks lovely, it would be perfect for the summer and I think it would be suitable for day and night.

4 - I think this top and skirt is so cute, I probably wouldn't actually wear it at the moment but once I've lost a bit more weight I'd love to wear this in the summer.

5 - I was just browsing on Etsy and found this cute ice cream necklace which is also scented, I so want to get one of these.

6 - I think this bikini is just gorgeous, I wouldn't look as good as the model in it but it's just lovely.

7 - Of course I want these pyjamas, they have panda's on which I'm obsessed with.
