Boots 3 for 2!

Just a quick one today, as deadlines are getting crazy. 

I have a week and a half left, then i'm FREE...until september.

I really want to have an amazing summer, this academic year has been incredibly stressful for a number of reasons, so giving the elbow to Uni for 5 months on the 23rd will be the dream.

I have a few plans for this summer, I'm going to Florida for a month to visit famalam which I am incredibly excited about..SEPHORA ANYONE?!

Also, there has been word of a potential explore of Europe for a couple of weeks with my chummy which gets me incredibly excited. 

                                          But onto the post eh?

I was back in the 'Shire last week for Easter and my attention may have diverted into Boots, and the 3 for 2 offer may have caught me out. I was having one of those days where everything went wrong, including smashing my phone screen..so the 3 for 2 purchase was obviously justified..

I've been using the MUA eyebrow palette for about 2 years now, but due to re-shaping my eyebrows I've began filling them out slightly differently. The colour in the MUA palette was WAAAY to red-ish and my eyebrows just looked a hot mess. So I Picked up Soap and Glory Archery in the colour "Hot Chocolate." I've used a similar product before, the MAC eyebrow twist pencil but it just ran out so fast that I couldn't justify paying that amount of money to repurchase it. So far I am loving the Archery product, the colour is almost a perfect match for my brows and the spooley on the other end is incredibly useful for those times when you have a bit of a heavy hand and need a bit of a blend.

Next I went for the Seventeen Falsify HD! I have heard such great things about this product, giving natural lengthening with one coat but also with the ability to build for a more dramatic look. What can I say, I am IN LOVE with the product. It is so affordable and really does what it says on the tin! 

For my third item I went for the Rimmel BB Matte Cream in Medium. I'd seen Shani Grimmond on Youtube use this a few times and the coverage for a BB cream was amazing. I've not had the best of luck with BB creams if i'm honest, i've never found one that I love..so I'm hoping this will be the one! The light in this is very pink in its undertones so I had to go for the medium. At the moment this is too dark for me so I will have to wait a while to give it a try but I am excited to give it a whirl. 

Have you been suckered in by the Boots 3 for 2? What did you buy?

Also, do any of my fellow oily skinned ladies have any recommendations for a good BB/CC cream?

See you later...

Clothing Haul - Pre-easter lent slip - H&M / Forever21

Ok, so here is the outcome of my ill-fated attempt at giving up shopping for lent. A little pre-easter (so-technically-didn't-finish-lent) haul

It needed to be done, I literally have or I can now say Had no restraint when it came to shopping and my bank balance was often the one who suffered..  so when the day of pancakes arrived mid-Feb, I thought I'd challenge myself to give up my favourite past-time shopping..  a few times I nearly dropped the ball as the age old problem arose 'I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR' as I stare into a wardrobe full of clothes, But I pushed past this and I kinda nearly completed Lent - YAAAY. Now, as you can probably tell this haul is going up on Easter Sunday, and Lent ended on Friday ( I think..) so I gave in about a week ago to the lure of online shopping and did buy some goodies. Although I didn't actually complete Lent, I'm pleased with my attempt and my bank balance is a lot happier too.. Now on to the haul. 

I'm in LOVE these Forever21 'Refined D'Orsay Flats', I saw some very similar in Zara a few weeks ago, but the prices tag was on a whole-new-level and plus it was lent so when I found these online for the very reasonable price of £18.90 I couldn't resist. They have a lot of similar styles online, so definitely worth a browse if your into this style of shoe. 

Now on to H&M, These shorts are just lovely, and again at the very reasonable £14.99 I couldn't resist. This pattern is very different to anything I've seen in a while and since a do always gravitate to the same colours  so this pop of pink defo brings something new. Plus these will look great in the summer months both dressed up and dressed down!

I'm rather susceptible to a nice shirt blouse and I really love the colour of this. It came really creased though as you can probably see so a good iron is in order! £7.99

When I opened this top I really wasn't sure and immediately looked if I could unpick the sleeves. The top looked very different online, which can often happen with when buying online, But after I tried it on my mind was changed and it's actually a really pretty top. :) £14.99

This is from their basics range, a plain black 3/4 sleeve top. Easy to throw on with many outfits..but I think it may be a little see through so maybe a vest underneath will be needed. £9.99

Here is a quick example of how I would combine some of the things I bought into a summer-y look. 

I  had to take pictures around these two beauties so thought it would be rude not to pop them in somewhere - They're just too caaauute not to. 

See ya soon,
