Beauty Edit:October Favourites







1.      Wilko facial wipes 30p- Ok so I freaking loooooooooove these face wipes they are fragrance free and super moisturising not to mention cheap as chips. I found these by accident when I picked up a pack by mistake about 4 years ago and I haven't looked back. I buy them in bulk and use them for everything. Let me reiterate they are 30 PENCE; you can’t even get a chocolate bar for 30p in London these days. For that amount you get 25 wipes packed full of vitamin E that are fragrance free and cleanse the skin brilliantly. I use these on my face but am transitioning to a balm cleanser. 

2.      Bodyshop bath gloves £4- These are a must have essential item for your bathroom beauty routine. They have just the right amount hardness and don't grate or irritate the skin. I use mine 3 times a week and you can really see the difference they make. I change mine every 3 months and ensure they are hung up to dry when I finish using them. P.S if you haven't used exfoliation gloves before don't be freaked out by the slightly dirty looking water that's just dead skin lol.

3.      Skinology Tea tree anti- spot stick 8ml 0.98p - Looks like its a Wilkinson love fest but their products are very good value and really perform. This is a roll on gel liquid that really helps with swelling and spot reduction. On me this helps with potential marking and ensures that my skin is smooth and I can see results usually within a day or two. As it has a roller to distribute the gel I would suggest doing your usual cleansing routine before applying and don't share it with anyone else to limit the amount of foreign bodies it comes into contact with.

4.      Simple hydrating light moisturiser 125ml £2.99- As awesome as this moisturiser is I don't use it often as I should. It is incredible and really seems to sink down into the skin this is a must have for winter. There is no fragrance, colour or unnecessary ingredients and it is just choka block full of good things for your skin. It is dermatologically tested and approved with Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Glycerin and Borage Seed Oil to keep the skin moisturised and deeply hydrated. A MUST have for those with sensitive skin.

Boots Manoeuvre: Primark AW12




Now anyone who knows me will know that Primark makes my blood run hot and cold. When they get it right they are AWESOME but when they get it wrong well lets say they are dead to me! 

AW12 Primark has definitely got it right soooo right in fact I am not scoffing at some of the increased prices. The quality of their designs and product quality has come on in leaps and bounds. I will be doing a small haul blog soon on recent buys but for now let me talk about the foot candy above.

This is just a small selection of the amazing boots I saw in store, I usually hate the Oxford street store but after being dragged in there I found it hard to leave. I wanted everything. I am really loving their small attention to detail whether it be studs, glitter sequins, patent or tassels.The boots I saw were really well made and after trying a few on I found them to be extremely comfortable.

 I really can't wait for the Primarni sales to begin coz I want EVERYTHING!!!

Thumbs up Primark

E.L.F lips edition (haul)


E.L.F lipgloss haul

Hey dolls,
So winter is here and it is here with a vengeance!
Wind , rain and for some hardcore floods.
Now I have a normal if not large amount of lipgloss and lip care but whilst on a train I have been assulted with a a tidal wave of ashy and dry lips!
Seeing the dead skin and massive crackshas  spurred me into action and et voila I went on a little E.LF spree as soon as my fingers touched a keyboard.

The above lipglosses and lipsticks are the fruit of my labour and I absolutely LOVE them.
I am not quite sure why I got 2 lip plumping glosses as I really don't need it but meh, the more the merrier. They nourish my lips well and smell great.
They are provide a beautiful  wash of colour and are packed with goodies to keep my lips supple, crack free and winter ready. Most importantly they are not too sticky. E.L.F have some amazing deals on atm so go indulge yourself and have chap free lips as it is most definitely the trend for AW12!

Until next time .....

eBay Haul





I do love me a bit of eBay bargain buying. Some days I think nothing of staying up all night to get my bargain buy! So I decided to order a few things to bulk up my autumn/winter accessories wardrobe. The pieces above range between cool girlish pieces to alternative edgy. I did have a mustache necklace but it went walkies a while back -_- and who can deny something for 99p? 

I absolutely adore the fact that each item cost less than £2 and are very well made. When I saw the multi coloured bracelet I had to have it as it reminds me of those plastic Scooby doos every one used to make back in the day. I have a few triangle necklaces and they really add a subtle glamour to any outfit. The claw cartilage earrings in gold and antiqued gold are just amazing and I have been getting compliments galore. Similar ones can be found at regalrose. It is a simply way to vamp up an outfit. Those unicorn earrings are just soooo cute, I bought then for a friends birthday present and they looked so nice I had to order a pair of my own. These definitely add a whimsical element to your outfit. 

As every fashionista knows the zip is one of the biggest jewellery trends atm and I love that this anklet looks equally good as a bracelet. It can be bulked up with lots of other delicate bracelet or rocked on its own. Loves it! Birds have also been a big trend this year and the eagle mixed metal piece is awesome it has hinged wings which allow movements and gives it a 3D effect. The chain is fairly short but that's a minor issue easily sorted with a bit of DIY.

Anyhoo get your eBay on and if you have been on there what have you been buying?

Mixtape Mondays #4


It's that time again folk............



Alex Winston- Velvet Elvis. Me likey this song and it is taken from her album King con.Yes folks it is the Google chrome Cambridge satchel company song as seen in my Zesty fresh post a while back. Her voice is such a cool juxtaposition between candy sweet and the darkness of her lyrics.The song actually has a very serious topic called objectophilia which is cool too.




Coldplay- Charlie Brown. My friend HATES coldplay hehehehe but I like them. Not so much at the Olympics. They were very much dead sorry but its the truth.Apart from that random error they produce some good tunes. Loving the day glow.




Psy- Gangnam style. Gangnam fever has swept the nation! I occasionally hear a random Kpop song in an obscure bar but this has really made an impact internationally and I am on it lol.I have no idea what he is saying but all I know is I want to do everything with hopa gangnam style!!!

What are your fav tunes right now?
