Mini Hair Product Haul

On the way home from school I decided to pick up some stuff in Boots before christmas. My purse did not appreciate this...


I picked up some hair dye because I wanted to re-dip-dye my hair, I decided to stick with the same l'oreal dye that I used last time, as I figured I'd play it safe. 
I also picked up some temporary blue hair dye from Bleach London to try over the christmas holidays whilst I'm off school. I wanna dip dye it a turquoise minty green colour which is why I got 'Washed Up Mermaid' but I'm not sure how well it will work on my hair...we'll see.


Then I picked up another bottle of Toni and Guy Heat protectant spray because I had run out and straightening my hair without it was drying it out so badly it made me want to cry.



Finally, I decided to try Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde Shampoo as the heat protectant and blue hair dye were on 3 for 2 and this would end up free. I was just about to finish my current bottle of shampoo so when I saw it in the shop and realised it is the one that Zoella recommended for ombred hair I figured I would give it a try. It is a very bright purple which is quite a shock when you first use it and I also realised that it is a toning shampoo meaning that it should only really be used once a week but I shall see how it goes.


What have your purses not been appreciating lately?

Mini Primark Haul

A couple of weeks ago (quite a few weeks now!) I went to Primark with my mum and sister and picked up a couple of items which I thought I'd share with you. There will be a future post involving the skirt too ;)

I picked up this gorgeous red jumper,


a Black velvet skater skirt

And 2 pairs of super cosy fluffy lined tights, a knitted brown pair of tights and a super fluffy pair of slipper socks which are my favourite things ever.

Comment below if you have picked up anything nice lately...

Mini Makeup Haul and Review

All the cosmetics were on 3 for 2 at boots before Christmas, so I took the opportunity to stock up! :D



From left to right I brought Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder, Barry M Matte nail Varnish in crush, Rimmel London apocalips in Stellar and Maybelline the Falsies mascara.

Now for some mini little reviews...


This is how the matte nail varnish looks, personally I was a little disappointed as it didn't really seem all that matte to me. I prefer to wear it with a layer of clear nail varnish over it to make it normal and glossy because the colour is still absolutely gorgeous and the perfect wintery shade!


This is the first bronzer I have ever used and  to be honest I was a bit scared that it would make me look totally orange because I'm so pale thats why I picked up the lighter shade, though you can't really see much difference between  the two. I proceeded with caution and indeed ended up loving it! Its perfect to add a golden glow to my face especially during the winter and just generally stop me from looking so pale all the time.


This mascara has to be one of the best mascaras I have ever used. Before using this my favourite was probably l'oreal telescopic but after using this for a couple of weeks I believe I may have found my new favourite. It lengthens my eyelashes brilliantly and genuinely does make it look like I'm wearing false lashes if I curl my lashes and put on 2-3 coats.


This lip lacquer is absolutely brilliant! Its basically like a really pigmented lip gloss which stains your lips so even after the lipgloss wears off you are still left with a colour on your lips, thats not to say that the lip gloss isnt long lasting though. As a result I really do like it. It's also very  pigmented and they offer a great range of colours which made it rather hard to pick, I also really wanted Big Bang (The dark red) and phenomenon (The shimmerless nude). Although it looks quite orangey in this photo its more of a red-ish colour with a hint of pink I'd say.
I have also now brought Eclipse (plum colour) and Nude Eclipse (Nude Colour) because they are so brilliant! I'll post about them later too!

So what are your opinions on these products?
