D.I.Y Studded Denim Jacket!

I was recently having a little browse on Boohoo when i came across a studded denim jacket, I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it, it was only £30.00 which wasn't bad at all but i love making anything and changing things so i thought id give it a try myself! :)
I headed over to Ebay and searched "Ladies denim jackets" I finally picked out one i liked, i bidded on it just before it ended and won it for £6 inc p&p! Bargain or what hey? I then needed some studs to create the look, so again i searched on Ebay "Silver square studs"  Or any colour/shape studds you want if you do this :) I then found 100 silver 12mm square studs for 99p! Yet another bargain! Although the ones i picked here came from Hong-Kong which can usually take 2-4 weeks to come! i ordered 3 bags so 300 in total  :)
Here is what i did!...

Picture 1: Get your stud's and jacket
Picture 2: Chose where you want to put your stud's
Picture 3: Start to place your studs on your jacket
Picture 4: Keep on going until you are happy with the amount of studs you want.
Picture 5: Decide where about's on the front of your jacket you want the stud's to go (If you want them on the front aswell)
Picture 6: The finished picture of the front of my jacket
Picture 7: Yet another picture of the front of my jacket
Picture 8: Finished picture of the front of the jacket on
Picture 9: Finished picture of the back of jacket on
:)

Hope you liked my D.I.Y post today guys! Let me know if any of you try this out! :)

Essie Polish!

Left to right: 773 Brooch The Subject, 766 Glamour Purse, 13 Mademoiselle,   760 Carry On,  763 Power Clutch,  Apricot Cuticle Oil,  Fill The Gap, Sensitivity Base Coat.



I recently went shopping with my brother, and popped into "the original factory outlet" most of you have probably seen one or been in one! If i pop in i always head straight to the makeup to see what bargains i can get my hands on! i happened to being looking at the nails varnish and saw some bottle lids with "e" on the top and i thought "ha wouldn't it be great if they where Essie!" so i pulled one out of the box to have a look and i was amazed by what i saw! Not only did i find some Essie polish's but i found them at £3! yes 3 whole English pounds!! i was so excited at what bargains i had found, when they are normally retailed at £8.00-£9.00! I picked up 5 polishes (colors under the photo) and 3 nail care products (also named under the photo) Ive used 2 of the polish's so far "Brooch The Subject" and "Glamour Purse" They are the first two in the picture if you don't want to read through the names again ;) I have never tried Essie before until this day that i found such great bargains! i just thought i would try them out as there is such a big craze about them right now! I got all 8 of these products for the price of 2 and a half if i where to buy them in boots or online! This has to be the bargain buy of the month! ;)

Some more snaps of my bargains! ;)

Wearing: 773 Brooch The Subject: I absolutely love this color! It reminds me of a colour nails inc have i think its like basil street or something! It  literally glides onto your nail so nice, and drys quickly after you've applied a nice smooth coat! I love fast drying nail varnish's none of this sticky business! I would recommend Essie nail varnish's to absolutely anyone! I did love Barry M, But Essie has defiantly won! Even though i grabbed these at £3 i would happliy pay the pull price for these! :)

I'll be trying out the nail treatments i bought in the next couple of weeks so i shall put some reviews about them on soon! 

Do you love buying beauty products at bargain prices to?.. Hope you enjoyed my little post on Essie products guys!

Lush Cosmetics Fizz Banger Bath Ballistic!



Lush cosmetic's Bath ballistic - Fizzbanger

As you all know iam the biggest lush fan ever, so i thought i would do a review on my favourite ever lush product! I cannot say enough good things about lush! Having exma i have never been able to use bath bombs, Soaps, Face masks etc etc you get the picture! but then my bestfriend introduced me into lush! Lush is amazing for all there products as they are all made from naturual ingredients so i never have any reactions yay for lush! :) I don't know where to start with this bath ballistic it is just AMAZING! The smell is simply gorgeous, It smells like cinnamon and candy apples! It is definitely a bonfire night must have when the time is here!! When the bath ballistic starts to fizz away it makes popping noises like popping candy! as its fizzing and popping away blue streams come fizzing out into the bath, it reminds me of those circler spinney fireworks that you get i think there called Catherine wheels or something!  Every time i have this in the bath it just reminds me soo much of bonfire night! It is definitely full of surprises along the way!..... Here are some shots of it in action!

1: This pictures is where i had just literally put it into the bath, you can see where it has started popping and fizzing!
2: Here you can see where the blue is started to stream out creating the firework effect!
3: More popping which means....more foamy bubbles!
4: BANG! This bath bomb is definitely full of suprises!

After the bath ballistic had fizzed away my bath had gone a greeny blue colour, i did try to get a picture but the camera lens kept steaming up and just wasn't having it! :( The smell of the bath after its all fizzed away if amazing! There's lots of cinnamon candy apple smells looming in the air! after i have used Fizzbanger it always makes my skin feel nice and soft which is amazing! I would honestly recommend this bath bomb to ANYONE thinking about which lush bath ballistic to buy! Its also retailed at £3.20 what a bargain! :)

I hope you liked my review on the Fizzbanger!

Famousx makeup range!

I recently went out shopping with my parents and i just popped into superdrug out of the  blue (im more for boots! ;) ) I was looking for the MUA extended range which they didnt have in my local store at the time! but i did come across this range which i dont have in either of my local superdrugs where i live, so iam not entirely sure if every other superdrug has got one, i did look to see if there was a website but i couldnt seem to finD one for you all! :( i picked up two lipstick/Balms!

I usually go for lighter pink lipsticks like the one of the left here, but when i saw the spotlight  one on the shelf something took my fancy to it and i had to try it out! These are retailed at £2.99 but i think it was a promotion price!

When i unpacked the lipsticks and took off the lids i noticed a little flip bit on the top of the lids and i thought to myself "Hmm what's this little gadject they have got here then! once i opened it up there was a lip balm in there the same colour of the lipstick, bargain i say! ;) 2 for the price of one haha! Left: GODDESS Right: SPOTLIGHT

Top: SPOTLIGHT      Bottom:GODDESS

I have a thing for lipsticks being my favourite makeup buy at the moment! so i had to get these to to add to my collection sneaky sneaky! My lipstick doesn't usually stay on for very long without using my Lipcote, but when i tested out these lipsticks they didn't come off for about 3 hours which i was really pleased about! there a creamy lipstick but once you apply it with a brush it goes into a shiny matte effect which i quiet liked! i definitely would reccomend these lipsticks to any lipstick lover! they were retailed at £2.99 but i think it was a promotion price!

LUSH Cosmetic's Emotional Brilliance Event!


Hey guys,
so on the 20th of July i got invited to a LUSH V.I.P event for the new makeup range to be launched! they already have some skin tints, lip tints and also lip scrubs in store, but at the event they launched mascara, eyeshadow , eye-liner and lipstick! they came in a very different packaging to what your normal makeup would come in! but the colour range of the Make-up was amazing!! Ive got a few snaps of the event for you all :)

When we went into the lush shop ready for the event they had a table full of different fruit juices to match the colours of the curtains in the window, which matched the colours of the new products! ;) they also had retro tetris brick sweets which i thought was so cool haha! also the picture on the left was a card we got from when we spun the emotional brilliance wheel! (read on further to find out about the wheel!)

This is the "Wheat grass" Mascara that was launched on the night, Its made of all naturual products which is great for people like me who have very sensitive skin and who has to be careful with certain ingredients in make-up! i did test this product out with the tester brushes of course, not the main brush in the bottle! i tried it out on my bottom lashes and i was really impressed with it! it doesnt make your eyelashes clumpy at all! it seperates them and makes your eyelashes very naturual as its not a thick mascara i think i may have to purchase this very soon! Its priced at £12.00 :) Yes that is me in the mirror taking a quick snap!

These are some of the new skin tints that where also launched on the night! The skin tints can be used as highlighters and a base for under your foundation! There is also colour suppliments which are foundations! i did also spot that they did translucent face powders to! all lush products are made of naturual ingredients, i was really pleased when i saw they did powders as most powders clogg up your pores causing you to break out from the chemicals in them which isnt good! Skin tints: Charisma, Feeling younger. Colour suppliments: Dark pink, Dark yellow, Light pink, Light yellow, Jackie oats. Translucent face powders: Emotional brilliance.

In the left picture is one of the Translucent face powders! i didnt actually try any of these on the night :( which i wish i did, but i just had to take a photo because of the name of it because of the event name ;) On the right is some badges we all got handed as we came through the door!!

This is the wheel of "Emotional Brilliance!" here we would get our kind of truths i guess you could call it! We all lined up to get our reading's, when it was my turn a jug of water got poured into the centre circle creating the smoke on the left, as the water was being poured in we where told to breath in and out slowly with our eyes closed, when we opened our eyes after the wheel had spun we had to pick three colours that stood out to us. When we had picked our three colours   the Lady in lush (i cant remember your name :( ) then picked out the make-up from under the plastic circles, they each had names and meant certain things which reflected us! (Mine where all very accurate and one really related to something that has just recently happend in my life) It was about trying to find a cure and do something good for charity, i want to find a cure for cancer and i recently ran race for life for my mum as she won her battle against cancer in February.

I think the wheel is in most luch stores so you can go in and have a reading! if not heres a link to do it online! :D
https://www.lush.co.uk/emotionalbrilliance/

Speaking of my mum, here she is getting her reading done! Out of her 3 colours she chose an eye shadow and a lipstick to try! Im not to sure of the names of them right this second but when i do find out i shall put them in here! :) On the right is all the eye shadows , lipsticks and eye-liners!  

Thats all my pictures i have from the event! it was such a great V.I.P launch party they had! and i hope you all enjoyed the post! :D Toodlepip! xx

Sally Hansen nail products!

I recently went shopping with my mum and i came across the Sally Hansen double dutty nail polish in a factory outlet store, i paid £3.00 for it! i do have good conditioned nails,but being at work they always break because your always doing something with your hands! ill get them to a nice lenght then one by one SNAP! :( but since ive used the double duty polish they have become alot more stronger and dont seem to break as much as they did before! As they kept breaking loads with work i came across the maximum growth polish to,not that i really needed it as my nails grow quickly but i thougth ill try another one and see how it goes! you have to apply a coat every night/other night and this was the result from using it fot 2 days (bearing in mind all my nails where broken so they where short)

Sorry for the chipped nails!

I would recommend these products to anyone who has got weak nails and has trouble growing their nails aswell! also the maximum growth polish was £4.99 from asda!

Glamour magazine Benefit cosmetics!

I popped out to Tesco yesterday when i thought i would check out the magazine section, i saw that glamour magazine had  free benefit cosmetics on it! and the magazine was  just £2! They where giving away  "PORE fessional pro balm" "That gal face primer" and the "BAD gal lash mascara" i picked up the "PORE fessional"  worth £10 and "that gal" worth £15, i dont know if these are the prices for the full size bottles or the sample size as it doesnt say in the magazine. I didnt pick up the "BAD gal" mascara as im loving the mascara iam using at the moment :)

-PORE fessional: Pore fessional is to cover up your pores, it's basically a conceler but made for your pores,its best to apply your moisturiser to your face first then apply this on top,then apply your foundation, this will help make your pore less visible and cover them up better!

-That gal: That gal is a face primer and brightner, its a base coat to put under your foundation to help it stay on and give a smoother appearence! :)



Hope you enjoyed this little blog pots today guys! Toodle pip! xx

Shopping trip haul!

So yesterday me and my brother done abit of shopping in the city as he's now back from uni! yay! i didnt really get much as i would haha there was nothing that took my fancy for a change! but i did get some goodies from boots as they had their 3 for 2 offer on! so heres what i got!

I have a thing for lipsticks at the moment! and i just cannot get enough of them! i wanted a pinky red one really bad but as im so pale i looked abit of a idiot when i tested it out in boots! so i came across the 17 range in boots and found their "Lasting fix lipstick" in dreamy its such a nice coral pinky colour! it reminded me of a MAC lipstick its quite a creamy lipstick that glides on nicely, it lasts a long time but i still use my lipcote so it stays on longer and doesn't smudge! I got this for £4.29 in boots!

I had run out of my Nails inc basil street nail varnish :( and wanted a very similar colour to it...then i spotted this one! its 17 "lasting fix" or "lasting finish" in the colour forever, its got a slight pink tint in it but it still looks really nice on! i got this for free on the 3 for 2 offer that's on at boots but this is priced at £2.99!

I reaaaaaaaaally needed some bronzing pearls as i kept using my mums! sneaky sneaky! i did have a rimmel London one but it seemed the further down it went the darker it got and it just looked dirty haha! so i came across these and gave them a try! they really give a natural glow! not that fake tanned glow which is good! theses where £4.19!

This is the best mascara i have ever bought! this is my second one as i lost my first one :( i paid £8.99 for my first one but found this in a outlet store for £5.00! this has some chemical in it that makes you eyelashes grow! which is fantastic and it really does work! i always moan about having long eyelashes as it is! daymn my Italian gene i have in me! hehe i don't mind having long eyelashes id rather have long ones then short ;) i would recommend this to anyone looking for a good mascara the brush is great and separates them so their no all clumpy and thick! 

I ordered these of ebay about 3 days ago and they came yesterday! yay! i was wearing them round the house yesterday and they are so comfy! these are not really my kind of thing but i absolutely loved them and just had to buy them! they where £18.98 from a shop on ebay :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/womens-new-flat-faux-suede-ladies-stud-detail-casual-loafer-shoes-size-3-8-/160743652116?pt=UK_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item6b1d57794a#ht_3504wt_1270

Lush: Magic mushroom bubble bar!

Ive finally got round to doing a lush review, i have to much lush stuff to do reviews on them all haha! iam a very big lush addict, and last year when i popped into lush around valentines day they had all there valentines products in the shop! instantly fell in love with the magic mushroom it smelt sooo good! it was strawberry's and cream and it smelt lovely! so when i saw it back in the shops this year i had to buy it again!

This year i actually got 4 of these hehe! there so good and i just needed more then one! there so nice when there in the bath! the smell is strong but not a over powering smell and they create loads and loads of nice smelling bubble! if these are on the website in the last chance to buy section i wouldn't definitely get one or even a few! i love lush as there the only bath products/soaps i can use without coming up in excema or a big nasty red rash! :) i think it was £3.75 when it was in the shops but on the last chance to buy they are £2.45 :)

Liz earle 6 piece pampour collection!

After seeing Sprinkle of glitter and Zoellas blog about Liz earle products i just had to go out and buy some liz earle stuff, i purchased the liz earle cleanse and polish in 100ml with two muslim cloths from john lewis, i have already done a review on the cleanse and polish already find it here! i was then watching QVC about two weeks ago and this came on! as it was there anniversary there products where cheaper i think this was £33.75 then £3.35 p&p on top! its the 6 piece pampour collection :) i did try to find this one online for you but i cannot find this certain one on there :( so ill link the travel and try me section on here for you to have a look aswell! :) http://uk.lizearle.com/kits-travel-and-tryme

This is what all the lovely little products came in! :)

I had seen this moisturiser and i was debating to get this in a full size tub  to try, but with having excema i thought i really don't need another moisturiser as i get loads from the doctors for my excema :( (anyone who has excema when i make you tube videos iam going to to a video on excema and what i use for it so keep your eyes peeled!!) i usually use this after i have used the cleanse and polish! it really helps to make your skin soft as thats its job haha! but it really does its job! ive used this about 3-4 times now and you really dont need much of it at all! i think iam defo going to get this in the bigger size when i have used all this one up!

i have only used this once and it made a difference the next day! my eyes didn't seem as dark as they usually are! i poured some onto a cotton pad and sweeped over the eyes as it directs you to do! you can the cotton wool pads up from any drug store, i did think this product was good as it brightens your eyes but i wasn't really to bothered about it as im more about having nice skin then "nice eyes" as nothing really happened to your eyes so ill proberly just use this and leave it at that :)

i usually use this after i have used the cleanse and polish, this really does tone your skin, it makes your skin look soften and more firm i guess you could say it definitely make your skin look clearer! i think i would purchase this in a full size bottle :)

This product is absolutely amazing! i cannot even say enough good things about it! i have already done a review on this in the bigger size, find it here :)

when i purchased cleanse and polish a couple of weeks ago the lady at liz earle gave us a spray of this, im not to sure if i like it though its quiet "grassy" so i haven't used this yet as im not sure of it at all,but i wont be buying a big bottle of this!

i haven't used this yet! im going to save it nearer to summer! it says its a highlighter so i think its like a tinted moisturiser, so iam going to save this for the summer to use, if i like it which im pretty sure i will, i will then purchase the bigger bottle, but when i do use this i will do a review on it! :)


i hope you enjoyed that little post guys! i will do a review on the highlighter above so keep looking out for it! toodlepip! :)  xx

Something Vintage! ♥


I had been looking through Zoella's blog and I came across this post and really liked the idea of a little ring tray! so I was searching through eBay the other day having a look for one i liked! they where either to old lady like or really horrible! :( then i came across this lovely squirrel ring dish! which came today! :)

I instantly fell in love with it and thought it  would go so well with my bedroom! it ended 2 days after i came across it! it wasnt a buy it now either :( luckily i had a week of work so i got up early just to hopefully win it!.. i won it for £3.37! bargain! it came through the post today and as soon as i got it i just had to put all my rings in it! (top right hand corner ;) ) i thought i might get asked "wheres that ring from so i did a little bit of browsing lastnight for you getting the links up as to where i got them from for you!

I purchased this super cute little ring from ebay for £3.39! it feels heavy when your holding it,but once its on it doesnt actually feel heavy! :)  Buy me ;)

This reminds me of something you would find in topshop for a ridiculous price! when i came across is on ebay i thought it was going to be about £8! but it was 99p! Buy me ;)

I picked up this bunny ring from Claires for £4.00 about 6 months ago,i doubt it would still be in store as it went into sale a few months after, although i did find find it very similar for £2.00 on eBay for you!

Ive seen this owl in topshop a few times..i think it was about £7.50 or £8.00,i found it on ebay for 99p! it doesnt come with the reddy colour on it, its just where the colour has rubbed of from wearing it so much haha! buy me!

I bought this well over a year ago from Dorothy perkins so i doubt you could buy it anymore! i did find a similar one for £1.39 on eBay but without the diamantés  in it :)

I really loved this ring when i found it! but as soon as i got it in the post it was huuuuuge so it was hard to wear it without it getting in the way of everything! i did get it for a Bargain of £1.39 from ebay!

I Purchased this ring for £2.98 from ebay, it stands really high when its on your finger but looks super cute when it is on! its hard for me to wear it as it would get in the way so much being at work!

I bought this from Dorothy perkins ribbon and asher concession range, i purchased it about 6 months ago in the sale for £4.00. It isn't available anymore but i did find it on ebay for £2.79 its been reduced from £3.99 bargain! Buy me ;) 

I saw this last summer in republic for £8.00 but i really didn't think it was worth that at all! i was searching on eBay for this ring and found it for 99p! definitely a bargain there!

i wasnt sure on this ring when i had first seen it, but then it grew on me and i just had to get it! i got this bargain for £1.96 from ebay! ;)

I got this from primark about 2 years ago,so its obviously not available now haha! i did  find one very similar from dolly bowbow for £7.00!

I was umming and arring about getting this ring, i had seen it in Dorothy perkins and i kept thinking should i get it or not for about 3 weeks...in the end i just had to get it! it was £7.50! Buy me ;)

Soo thats my ring collection for you guys,sorry if it was abut if a long post but that cant be helped with the amount of rings i had to show you guys hehe! hope you guys enjoyed the post let me know if any of you purchase any of these rings! :) toodle pip! xx
