Boxing day sales and a few things I picked up!



OK soooo I went a bit crazy with the sales that are going on at the moment, I've brought a couple of items that i want to share with you! I brought both fashion and beauty items, let me know what you think.

 So lets get started..

 I went into newlook and brought this jumper, it might not be to everyones taste but I liked that it was funky and out there and with it being only eight pounds, I couldn't turn it away, I think this jumper is like marmite you either love it or you hate it. I purchased it in a large, so it can be extra snugly and oversized lol.


Am not a size large, just wanted it to be baggy and oversized 

Beautiful textiles


I would wear this type of jumper to uni on a lazy, can't be bothered kind of day, with a pair of jeans and my white converses.

I also brought this jacket from newlook in the sale, it came down from 34.99 to 19 pounds, its a dark red textured leather-look sleeve waterfall jacket. I would proberly wear it with my black jersey dress and my zara pointed toe heels for an evening look. It can also be dressed down by wearing some high waisted jeans, a white crop top and some converses. 



Speaking of my pointed toed heels from zara, I also got them in the sale, it was the last pair and it was my size! I was so happy because I was eyeing them up online but it said it was sold out. They were £19.99 reduced from 29.99.

I also brought a top from H&M, its a jersey top with a sweet heart neckline, the top bit is sheer with polka dots. It is one of those tops that has a sexy feel to it. 







On to the beauty section, I needed a new mascara, and I wanted to try something new so I brought the max factor false lash effect fusion volume and length and oh my god this mascara is the one! It gave my eyelashes excatly what they stated on the tube! it made my eyelashes look so long, but not spidery, hands down this is my favourite mascara so far! I also brought a new lipstick from max factor in the colour 825 pink brandy, its a beautiful light pink colour, which is moisturising too as well as being really opaque when put on the lips. Not only that in boots when I purchased the mascara and lipstick they gave a free gift set and claimed it was 30 pounds worth of products, this included a false lash effect waterproof mascara, a nail varnish in the colour cobalt blue and a lip finity in the colour 340 essential natural. They are all limited edition products and i have already fallen in love with the lip finity and the nail varnish! Its absolutely beautiful and am not to sure if the deal is still on but head down to boots, and find out, its so worth it!

all free when u spend £15 or more, get to boots! 

lip finity 340, stayed on for a whole day! such a good product and am considering buying another one in the colour red!

left eye no mascara, right eye with max factor false lash effect mascara, it's so good, try it! 


Final look with my new mascara, on my lips is vegas volt by mac


On to the higher end cosmetics that I purchased this month, and funny enough they are all from mac, I brought two more lipsticks and they are vegas volt and velvet teddy. Vegas Volt is one of the amplified mac lipsticks and its a beautiful coral colour, that will be beautiful to wear in the summer because of how bright it is, its really moisturising on the lips and i love the finish it gives. Velvet teddy on the other hand has a matte finish and its the perfect warm nude, not one of those nudes that look like concealer lips, it has a bit of colour to it, and I personally think that it will suit women of colour or people who have a natural tan.

Lastly I brought myself a new perfume called Versace Bright crystal. its a very sweet young smell, the packaging is beautiful, I love it, the only downfall is that the smell doesn't last that long and you have to keep re-applying.
