ASOS premier.




Hey dolls, so I haven't blogged in a while i've had a lot going on which has took over the last few months but i'm happy to be back and blogging. So just because i haven't been blogging does by no means mean i have not been shopping! I got an E-mail from ASOS a couple of weeks ago asking if i wanted to upgrade to be a premier customer. I looked into it and for a limited time only it's £9.95 for next day delivery ALL YEAR!!!  yep all year! I ordered something an wanted next day delivery which costs £5.95 so for an extra £4 i could buy ASOS premier! It's amazing i've ordered so many different things from asos now and having them arrive the next morning is such an amazing feeling (is that sad?) The only downside is that now i get free delivery it's just an excuse to buy even more and my bank balance never looks good (even if i do thanks to asos haha) 
I would definitely recommend this if you often shop at asos or new look or river island (they stock those too)  and also the most fantastic news out of all this is that..... PRIMARK ARE STOCKED AT ASOS. yes you can now buy primark online through asos which is amazing news. 
so that's all for now! hope you liked this post
let me know if you sign up to asos premier :)

naughty lulu


Hey ladies, so i've been very good lately and i haven't bought anything for myself in a while but yesterday i popped into town and ended up buying quite a few things and treated myself. Oops. 
I seen these rings in newlook a while ago and loved them but £7.99 for four rings is a bit steep (I think so anyway) but when i nipped in yesterday they had buy on get one free on ALL jewellery so i actually got eight rings for £7.99 which sounds much better don't you think? Then i popped to boots and picked up this vichy cleansing gel, my skin has got very bad lately and i've heard great things about vichy so i had to pick something up there was a few other products i liked the sound of from vichy which i might pick up next week. then i got a couple sleek lipsticks from, wait for it.... POUNDLAND yes you heard right, poundland sell sleek lipstick. I also bought a couple sleek pout paints i've heard great things about these so had to try them for myself and i tested them last night and WOW! the pigmentation is incredible and they glide on your lips first impressions are very good! I bought some quinoderm which is a "behind the counter" thang! I used to use this but didn't notice an improvement in my skin until i was reading someone blog last week (i can't remember who's dammit) and they said how it's their holy grail product and they raved and raved about it so i thought i would buy it again only this time be a little more patient and give it some time to work with my skin. Fingers crossed it works. then i got a few other bits and bobs which i won't talk about because this was supposed to be a short "look what i bought" post but instead i rambled on and now it's not so short. sorry. Any how that's all for now i hope you liked this.
have you tried any of these products?

lipstick dupes.

mac candy yum yum - sleek amped
unfortunately I dont know the name of either of these because the labels have worn off i think the barry m lipstick is
in the shade 116 or 118 but i'm not certain which is a shame because these are an EXACT dupe that would save you £10!
i will try and find the names of these out and let you know soon. 
mac fetish - sleek blaze
collection 2000 mudslide - sleek mulberry
the left one looks a little more purplier (is that a word? no? it is now) but they are a dupe they just show up different colors. 
sleek cherry - nivea berry charms
mac so chaud (my favorite lipstick ever) rimmel kate moss 111 mixed with gosh flirty orange 153
you can buy these 2 lipsticks for the price of one mac lipstick BONUS  ;) 
mac snob - rimmel kate moss 101





 So these are just a few dupes i discovered and i love looking at dupe blogs or youtube videos but there aren't many about at the minute. A lot of people can't afford or just don't want to pay £14 for a lipstick especially when you can get a very similar one for a quarter of the price. I also seen another dupe for mac candy yum yum which is always sold on of my local mac store, i'll have to buy it and compare them because it was only £1.99 which is ridiculous. so i hope you liked this and i'm sorry it's a bit all over the place but i'm so tired, i was going to put this post up tomorrow but i haven't blogged in a few days so thought i'd do it quickly today so do forgive any sloppiness (i hate that word, sloppiness, ew) that's all for now.
hope this was useful :)

rimmel apocalips lip lacquer review

nude eclipse - 600

galaxy - 301


apocaliptic -303




big bang - 400




Hey lovelies so unless you've been living under a rock lately you'd of heard of rimmels new apocalips lip lacquers. First thing i'd like to say is WOW! the pigmentation is amazing they are so bright the pictures don't do them justice! The darker shades are slightly more opaque than the lighter ones but they all impressed me none the less. They are very creamy (but not sticky) and don't dry my lips out at all. They're a very strange texture that I've not seen before it's not a lipstick, lipgloss or a lip cream, but i like it, it looks great and they're only £4.99 so i'm not complaining. The packaging is very sleek easy throw in your bag packaging. I really like the wand on the lacquer It's a typical lip gloss wand thingy majiggy (note to sell find better describing words.) but it has a dip in the middle of the tip which wipes away excess so enables you to use as much or as little product as you want! This lasts on my lips for around 4 hours before it needs another coat (darker colors leave a slight stain on the lips but that happens with most other dark lip products so this didn't bother me) The only negative thing i have to say is that there's not a huge range of colors, in my local boots they have about 8 colors but hopefully this is just because they're new and will bring out a wider range of colors but apart from that i'm really happy i bought these and will definitely be picking up a few more colors.


Have you tried these?? What do you think?

EBAY WISHLIST

EBAY
Meaning : the shop that has absolutely everything you could ever want or need.










 t-shirt /// boots /// jemma kidd /// jacket (zara dupe) /// dress /// fur collar

few little gems i'm loving lately. i seen the fur collar on Sams blog and went on the hunt for it i think its the same one (or pretty similar) but it's such a bargain so who cares?
I think i'll be doing a few more EBAY WISHLISTS because its one thing i love reading most on blogs. So hopefully you'll like reading mine, after all why pay £95 for a pair of shoes when you can find a dupe on Ebay for 1/4 of the price? 


That's all for now

luck is on my side



this is again, a carboot sale find but it was such a bargain i couldn't not show you!
i tried to take pictures myself but they were all very blurry so i got these off  google so you could get the a better look of the dress. I do not own these picutres. ok now, how amazing is this dress? Its a nude dress covered in sequins and beads and is really heavy for a dress it feels very expensive and really good quality the back is backless/cut out which is always brilliant on a dress. I bought this brand new with the tags on. The tags said RRP £99. i bought it for............................... £2!!!!!!!!! It's such a perfect fit and very flattering i can't wait to wear this out!

like i said.. Luck is on my side ;)

That's all for now

Wednesday Wishlist

midi monochrome bodycon - ASOS

Palm print high waisted jeans - Motel @ ARK
Leather jacket - Own the runway

wearing the sun






So the sun has upped and away and left the place feeling dull so i was forced to inject some color into my wardrobe. This GORGEOUS blazer from H&M  is just £29.99 which is a great price for a good quality blazer, When i opened my package i thought to myself 'WHAT ARE THESE?' (looking at the sleeves) they look like they need a good iron, but rest assured they look much better on! Its a yellowy limey green color and has fitted shoulder pads, which aren't to lady gaga may i add. This would brighten up a classic LBD or look great with jeans and a plain tee, or over a qhite summer dress if the sunds decides to show its face again, so versatile and i LOVE IT! i just which they did it in more colors :(
Check it out! HERE!

bootsale and others..

hey ladies,
I'll start of with a couple things i picked up from BMbeauty. I received one of their bronzers in last months glossy box and loved it, so i decided to welcome some more bm beauty products with open arms. I ordered a blush in shade "velvet dawn" which is gorgeously pink, when i first used it i was frightened because the brush picks up so much product at one time so i have to tap the brush to remove a lot of the blush otherwise i would end up looking like a china doll. but overall its very easy to apply and blends amazingly. I also ordered a foundation in shade "stripped" which i believe is the lightest shade you can get (poor me,i'm very pale) Now, when i first tried this foundation i found it offered no coverage at all, i didn't feel comfortable walking around with this on my face because i felt like i had no makeup on and everyone could see my naked face. I then tried to put this over my foundation to matte and add a bit more coverage but when i did so it turned my face ORANGE AND PATCHY! :( so i won't be using the foundation again but overall i will definitely order some more products maybe some eyeshadow or eyeliner? after all 2 out of 3 isn't bad. Also they sent me a free chocolate bar with my order.. MAKEUP AND CHOCOLATE? THEY KNOW A WAY TO A GIRLS HEART. ;)

sorry for the poor quality pictures
