So, I know I haven't updated the blog for a while. so here is a nice collective haul entry consisting of make-up, jewellery and clothes.

So, let's start with good old trusty cosmetics. I popped into Lush and picked up a Bubblegum lip scrub, tried it out last night - works a treat. My lips had been feeling a little worn out all day and after using it my lips instantly felt in better condition, afterwards I applied a little MAC lip conditioner and shall repeat the process tonight. Speaking of MAC, I went to my local MAC counter to book myself in for the makeover my Mother had kindly paid for as a Christmas present and while I was there I made an enquiry as to whether their "special drawer" had any goodies from past collections and ended up picking myself up the Black Knight lipstick from Style Black, I figured it would be useful for darkening up other lipsticks and transforming their colour therefore in a way doubling my choice where lipstick shades are concerned. I don't think I'm daring enough to wear Black Knight on its own. I also picked up an Utter Fun lustre lipstick it's a gorgeous deep bright pink shade that compliments my skin tone. The Urban Decay counter happens to be MAC's neighbour so I also picked up a Preen book which comes complete with the eyeshadows: Snatch, Mildew, Flash, Painkiller, Smog and Toasted; also included is a mini Primer potion and a 24/7 pencil in Zero.

The make-up lust didn't end there though, I also embraced good old drug-store level and picked up a lipstick in the Supermarket Asda from their George moisturising lipstick collection in the colour 16 Liar, it's an orange toned red (I must be feeling the bright colours as a backlash to the dull grey English weather)

While I was there I picked up two nail polishes from Collection 2000, the Hot Looks range in 29 Big Hair and 32 BMX Bandit (loving those names haha) I also got a chunky striped statement ring and a multi coloured bangle bracelet.

Then came Primark, where I picked up a Foiled Again set which has a set of sparkly false lashes and 3 colourful eyeliners in Tequila Sunrise, Aqua Horizon and Pink Fizz. While in Primark I picked up a trilby hat with a sequin band, a chunky black sparkly ring and some candy stripe sunglasses.

I've also recently taken advantage of the Matalan sale where I bought a pair of grey and hot pink platform heels (told you I was rebelling against winter) a chunky blue statement ring and a purple embellished slinky tunic, there may also have been two new handbags purchased all to the bargain tune of £14.50!

And finally, Littlewoods and Tesco! I got a beautiful silver cardigan in Tesco from the Signature range for £8.00 and also pretty black drop earrings for £2.50 which looks stunning on. From Littlewoods I got a pair of aztec design leggings, and a couple of print cowl neck tunics. I also ordered a super cute Disney Tinkerbell "Believe" necklace but sadly as pretty as it is, it looks cheap and flimsy and definitely like it would probably break within a few wears so it's being returned.

And now for the pictures*

So what have you been buying lately to try and beat the winter blues?

Until next time, stay fabulous! x
