The Body Shop Haul/ review

Hey guys,

Another haul post today and a sort of review. I was walking past the body shop on my way home a couple days ago and saw they had a 50% off sale on body butters. I used to love the body shop as a kid and used to shop there regularly but haven't bought anything from them in a couple years. I used to love the mango body butter but when I went in and smelt it again it didn't smell as good. I ended up getting the sweet lemon body butter as I love a lemony scent. I also got the sweet lemon lip butter.

I have used these both a couple times now and really like them. I would definitely not have picked them up at full price but as the body butter was down to £5 and the lip butter to £2 I couldn't resist. Some people find the body butters very thick but I think they are perfect for the winter when my skin needs a bit of TLS. I am a massive fan of the simple packaging and love how the two packagings match. The lip butter looking like a miniature of the body butter, which is so cute and easily fits in my bag.

I then remembered that I hadn't shown you guys the products I got from body shop before I left for uni. I picked up the Indian Night Jasmine perfume oil (£7) which I love although haven't worn that much. I do like the perfume oils but when in a rush to go out I prefer a spritz perfume over a rub on one as it is quicker. I was very tempted to also get the I think its called wild amazonian lily but they only had a tester :(. I went to pay for the perfume and got talked into buying the dragon fruit lip butter for £1 which I am so glad I got as it smells incredible.

Ultimately my favourite product is the dragon fruit lip butter as I wear it most days and keep it in my bag. I am not sure on the lemon scent nor that I have bought it but it may grow on me lol.

Hope you enjoyed

Makeover Essentials Haul

Hey guys,

I've bought more makeup :/. I didn't plan on it but I was suckered into buying some Makeover Essentials products in Whsmiths (Don't ask me why they were selling them in there I have no idea). My friend went in to buy stamps and I walked away with makeup after the rep talked me into it.






The booklet that came with the products.

This is the product that was actually being sold for £35 it is a pigment brush bronzer. I paid £35 for all of this as when you bought this you got the rest free so you got £172 worth for just £35. 


These are the brushes that I got which is the whole reason I bought the makeup as I was major lusting after these.  

Lipstick part of the pull out compact containing 4 lip colours. 


The whole pull out compact with eyeshadow lips and highlighter. This would be great for travelling as it folds up really small. 

Makeup pallet containing blusher eyeshadow and more lip stuff. 

Lovely matte and shimmer colours. 

For £35 I think what I got was a bargain but am not sure if this is worth £172. I'm not sure where and when this will be available in the UK. TBH I don't know much about the company at all apart from that they were a new american company. I look forward to trying the stuff out and letting you know what its like.

Dyeing My Hair Turquoise


posted by Unknown on , , , , , , ,

Hey Guys,

Just before going to uni I decided that I was going to go from dark brunette hair to bright turquoise
blue/ green.  That was about 5 weeks ago and I had to re-dye my hair last weekend as the dye is semi permanent so does fade.

To take my hair from brunette to turquoise I first had to bleach it. I used Live Color XXL Colour Intense Blonde Absolute Platinum twice to take my hair to light blonde.


 After I had bleached it twice I tried to tone it to get out the brassy tones with touch of silver but I dont think this worked and so my hair was a bit greener in patches.


The first time I dyed it. With Directions Turquoise 




My hair today, I'm wearing my new wolverine tee. 

Hope you enjoy, leave some comments if any of you have crazy coloured hair like me :P

New Revlon Polishes

Hi guys,

Yes I've been buying again. I bought some revlon polishes as they have gotten good reviews and the bottles are very nice. I also thought i'd take advantage of them being £2 off in superdrug. They were £6.49 but at the moment they are £4.49. They are a bit more expensive than what I'd usually spend on polish but I fell in love with these colours and had to have them. I got (I think they are new releases) a gold/ silvery polish called rich, a dark purple called seductive, and a fuchsia glitter in black polish called scandalous.

Here come the swatches...








I tried to clean up my nails but the purple does stain a bit. The purple is my least favourite as it is very thin and takes about three coats to become opaque. I prefer the gold and the fuchsia glitter. 

Hope you enjoy,
Lauren :P

Hey another Haul post guys.

I've been a bit bad this week with money and have bought a lot. I only spent £5 on all this but I've also got some stuff from new look and a couple shoe unboxings to show you guys in another post.


I found some lovely rimmel shades. The green is 120 urban green, The silver is 700 silver moonlight and the red is 171 fancy topaz.

I also got these maybelline shades in Plum Opal and Taupe Opal.

These were such a bargain so keep your eyes out in pound land for makeup. I've also seen some revlon products but didn't fancy the colours. 

Hope you enjoyed

Big Primark HAUL

Hey guys,

I went a bit shopping mad today and picked up a lot of stuff from primark. I bought loads of printed
t-shirts and jewellery and I just wanted to tell you guys so If you like the stuff it will still be in store for you to buy.

 Here are the pics ...

 Another few statement necklaces, I can't get enough primark jewellery at the moment.

This is actually silver but looks a bit bronze in this pic

I fell in love with the ring on the far left and so had to buy this set although I do like all the rings on here. I also find primark rings fit me slightly better than the rings in other stores.

Loved these and they were reduced to 50p at the check out. 
 I bought this unicorn tote bag to carry my shopping in and for £1.50 you can't go wrong in my book.
This was one of the men's tee's I bought and it has a mickey mouse print on it. All the t-shirts were £8


I am a massive comic book fan so was so happy to find an avengers and wolverine t-shirt in the mens section. (I bought a lot of mens tees)


Hope you enjoyed the haul. It feel a bit like bragging but I just wanted to let you guys know where to get some cool stuff at the moment lol

New clutch bag

Hey Guys,

I recently bought a new clutch as going out at uni I needed a small bag big enough to fit stuff like my phone keys and money in. I fell in love with this bag in new look as unlike most other bags on the market it has silver instead of gold embellishment which I prefer.





I also loved the faux snake skin leather look and quite a few of my bags have this at the moment. I also liked the delicate silver chain strap that unlike most my hair does not get caught up in. I think it cost £12.99 but don't remember I've had It a couple weeks now lol.

Hope you enjoy

Hey guys,

My desk is tidy for once so I decided to show you guys a sort of tour of it. I recently moved to uni and so this is my room in halls not my room at home but as this is where I will be living for a year I thought I would document it.  I love this desk. For years I have been working from my tiny desk at home which as a fashion student is near impossible so when I first saw the desk I was so happy. One side I have my art/ fashion stuff than the other side (like 3/4 of the desk) is make-up and nail stuff.

On to the pictures

Th whole desk with makeup on the left and art stuff on the right.

Make-up and hair stuff. If you guys want leave me a comment If you want me to do a makeup collection post or if you spot any products you own. 

The end of my makeup and some of my latest nail polish purchases and then moving into art stuff.

Art stuff such as pens pencils ink watercolours and my tripod. obvs not my camera as I was using it but normally my camera is here to. 

My book shelves with fiction on the top (lord of the rings, game of thrones and others) also my earrings an iron and other random stuff. then non fiction fashion  stuff and magazines under with nick nacks and stuff. Also you can see part of my notice board. 

Notice board with fashion pictures for inspiration also I hang my statement necklaces and other jewellery from here. 

Hope you enjoy. 
Just a little bit of my room I will hopefully post more of it when its cleaner lol
