My desk space

I'm finally happy with my desk space. I try to keep to a theme. I love white walls (and if you have been to my house you would pick that up pretty easy).

Giveaway

I've just reached 500 GFC Followers this week, so I thought I would do a Giveaway as a little thank you. I was a little un-sure on what to give away...

Stella

I previously mentioned in this post that I purchased 'Stella by Stella McCartney' in a box set in the Boots sale. I've been meaning to get this perfume ever since I smelt it - which I think could possibly be a good few years ago now...

New in: Newlook wedge boots

I've been wanting to purchase these boots from Newlook but since going back to my local store to purchase them they have only had size 6's which my big feet will not squeeze into. Whilst having a look for them I saw these wedge style boots.

Review: Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish

I finally brought the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I really don't know what has took me so long. With so many amazing reviews on the product I really wanted to try it myself. This is also my first Liz Earle product.

Update

Having had a chance to post anything lately been extra busy with work and college since going back a few weeks ago. Very soon I will be posting what my recent purchases were and share an OOTD and maybe a September Favourites. Who knows? 

I havent felt like posting at the moment. I didn't want to just do loads of posts once i've started as they wouldn't be interesting and i just want to post when I feel like i should. 

Currently in love with this Topshop top at the moment. Going to try and find it in my local store at the weekend, but I never seem to find what ever I set out to get *sigh*.

As good as the hype??

So i decided to try out the value makeup range, E.L.F Cosmetics. Seen loads of YouTube reviews and blog posts so thought I'd try a few out. I purchased them on Monday afternoon and received them Wednesday morning. Thought that was pretty good. Although going through all the products alot of the things i did want were out of stock. I wanted to try the cream eyeliner in black from the studio range, HD Powder, Shimmer eyeliner in gunmetal from the normal range but these were all out of stock. I also want to purchase the small and large brush holders but they were out of stock. So as soon as they are in stock I will be buying them...
Hypershine Lipgloss in 'Fairy'
So first up i didn't buy alot, it only came to £15 with postage but I am just giving them a try.
I got the hypershine lipgloss in 'fairy'. This was from the normal range and cost only £1.50 so i wasn't expected much. I tried to do a swatch but it just wasn't showing up although I have very pale skin. The colour isn't what it shows on the website. It is basically clear just with a tint of pink. I found that it was very sticky. But on how cheap it was I wasn't much suprised. I maybe need to try it for a while. The brightening eye liner was pretty average. It was the type you would buy from a drug store.
E.L.F Nail polish in 'Innocent'
Next up, I got the new nail polish in 'innocent'. I have been looking for a off nude colour for my nails so as this was the only shade near nude in stock I decided to get this. I can't wait to try this on my nails, I'll take pictures as soon as i do.  I've wanted a corrective palette for ages so I'm going to try this out. I thought i might as well get the normal range eye shadow brush. In my next order I'll be getting a few of the studio range brushes although for the price this brush was pretty good. My favourite of the lot was the blush. As you may know I am pretty pale so I'm always nervous on getting a dark blush or bronzer, so I always pick the lightest. This one as first when i swatched it on my finger wasn't very pigmented but as soon as i got it on a brush and on my cheeks I loved it. It wasn't too much and not too less, was just right.

If you haven't done already I would recommend purchased from E.L.F. You'll either love it or hate it. As I found out from my very small collection there are ones I love and ones that are a bit hmm. For the price some of them are just right but some are really good quality. This may be the studio range which are better. Will be purchased more very soon!

Loveeee Tribal Style Ring

Wanted to get a ring like this for yonks. I saw one similar in h&m a while back, wish i brought it then as when i went back i couldn't find it. I picked this one up from Dorothy Perkins for £5.

So here goes...

Thought i'd start my own blog as I'm always reading everyones and might as well start one up myself. Hopefully will have things to post about, although don't really think anything will be too interesting. I start back at college next week, blahh! So I will try and post as much as I can. Follow me and I will follow you back.
