Wish List - House of Fraser

Ok for a while now I've been binge watching Doctor Who, there's a lot of it so it's taken me quite a lot of time. At the moment I'm up to season eight and I've come to realise that I really like Clara's style. I remembered about this website WornOnTv which shows you what brand the clothes are and also gives some alternatives. While investigating I stumbled across House of Fraser which is both good and bad.

Once'it Purchases

Hey

Sorry there wasn't a post on Friday, I didn't feel like blogging so decided to take a day off.  Today's post is a another edition of my online shopping spree I did a few weeks ago.  For some reason I decided to visit Once'it and when I saw the Revlon sale I knew I would be buying something.

 

When I first looked through I thought I was going to get a lipstick but decided I had too many and went for a couple of lip glosses instead.

I got two Super Lustrous Lip Glosses; the one on the left is in Pearl Plum and the one on the right is Pink Pursuit.  They're not as pigmented as the Tanya Burr glosses, they give a light colour to the lips which make them perfect to go over a lipstick.  They're perfect to just chuck on to give your lips some colour and gloss.

I also saw a sale on hair ties/band things which I thought were really cute. They came in a number of colours but I went with the striking black with a colourful floral pattern.  I'm still figuring out how to wear it but will be a good summer accessory.

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xxx

Feel Unique Spree

Hey

A couple of weeks ago during my little online shopping spree in which I bought stuff off a couple of sites I paid a visit to Feel Unique and got some bits and bobs to try out.

Zoella Beauty Makeup bag/Pencil case

I like a lot of others were excited about the launch of Zoella Beauty and as soon as I got my allowance I knew I wanted to buy one of the cases.  As you can see I got the pink Guinea Pig one, it's so cute and I just love pink and the white polka dots.  It's pretty big, big enough for my brushes and other stuff so I'm really happy with it.

 

Tanya Burr Lip gloss in Afternoon Tea

Yet another famous beauty YouTuber's line which I had to get my hands on.  I had a hard time picking a colour, they were all so pretty, so ended up with this one.  The colour's very lovely, a soft shade of pink and it smells like lollies! YUM! It's very pigmented compared to other lip glosses I've had so you can just wear it on its own.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss 107

I've been wanting this lipstick for the longest time. I was going to buy it when I went to Farmers but there was none left, so I resorted to buying online.  The colour is amazing, a rich dark red which I am obsessed with, I'm pretty sure I want the colour in every brand of lipstick or lip gloss HELP.  My life now feels somewhat complete now that I have it.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

My Favourite Things #24

Brush Egg

I bought this off complexions.co.nz and it arrived yesterday.  I heard quite a bit about it, it is suppose to help clean your makeup brushes. For me cleaning my brushes takes up a lot of time so I was interested in getting this to make it more easier.  You can get the egg in Mint or Pink, I obviously went for pink because I just don't enough things in pink. I'm excited to try it out.

 



 

Gaps between exams

Other than exams being completely done this is the next best thing.  This week has been very stressful and hectic.  I had an exam on Monday then one yesterday.  Unfortunately I was so stressed and anxious about the one on Monday that I kind of completely ignored studying for the other one. This meant after it was done I was cramming for the next two days, but I wasn't as stressed about this one. Maybe because the course was on Greek Tragedy and I am much better at remembering plots of stories/plays rather than names and dates.  Anyway my last one, Art History,is next Thursday so I've got some time to prepare.

 

Online Shopping

Lately I've been a little crazy with the shopping especially online.  So far I've bought stuff off of five different online websites and I've still got a list of other ones I want to shop.  I promised myself I'll only buy stuff after each exam to celebrate it being done. I had one yesterday which means today I shop! I really need to get some control.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! Hope you all have a great weekend :D

My Favourite Things #10

My Nails

It's been a while since my nails have been painted. I confess it's mostly due to my laziness in bothering to attempt it and also because I can't decide what colour I want to paint them with.  This indecisiveness is due to having pretty much used all the colours I have in my collection and I am just itching to get more colours ;D

 

 

I eventually decided on this colour which is Eyes Like Sapphires by China Glaze. I love this colour as it's a deep but also royal blue and you can't really see but it has shimmery bits in it which really make stand out.

 

Shopping

Yesterday was my first real escape from the house when my Mum and I went to the mall. We were planning to see a movie but there weren't much options and the movies I really wanted to see were either too late or not showing at all.  We made up for it by shopping and founds some great pieces that were not too expensive. I'll do some haul posts next week to show you what I am now OBSESSED with.

 

Online Shopping

I know I'm not alone with this one but somehow buying something online just puts me in a good mood. It doesn't matter what it is such as the books I bought for my upcoming courses for university.  The added aspect of getting it in the mail is also part of the excitement. I've always loved getting stuff in the mail since I was little and getting presents is so much better than letters from the IRD.

 

*just realised this post is mostly about shopping, oh well   :p

 

Hope you all enjoyed is post and have a great weekend :D

Lime Crime Beauty Haul

Hey

So from Beauty Blogs as well as YouTube Beauty Gurus, mostly Shaaanxo, I've heard about Lime Crime and their amazing lipsticks.  Looking through their range they have unique colours, which greatly fascinated me and I knew I had to have some.

There are a number of websites where you can buy them and they are the same price of $29.  I bought mine off Pagan Marie Boutique which is a New Zealand site based in Christchurch.  The hardest part was choosing which one to buy first as there were a number I wanted, so I will definitely be back and buying some more.

The colour I decided to go with first was Geradium.  This colour is a bright but not too bright pink, as you can see below, and when I saw it I fell in love as I have a bit of an obsession with the colour pink.  The lipstick is very creamy and goes on nice.  It also has a pleasant smell, with a slight hint of vanilla.  I also love the packaging of it as it's purple, sparkly and has a unicorn on it which is kind of awesome.

Hope you enjoyed this post, I have also bought some NYX products and will do a post on them next. xoxo.

Jewellery Lucky Dip

Hey

 

Haven't been doing posts much since I've been the middle of final exams for uni, but my last exam was yesterday which means I'm done with study for the rest of the year YAY!

 

So I've posted almost all the stuff I've bought online apart from a Jewellery Lucky Dip which I bought off Once'it.  I've bought one once before and got a cool little heart ring which I really like so I decided to by two this time.

 

This time I got two chain necklaces which are really cool and could go with any outfit.  One of them is silver and the other is a kind of light reddish bronze colour, not sure how to describe it but its really cool.  Pictures below give a better look at them.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this post, I've bought another thing online (of course) so will hopefully have a post on it soon, but might do another artwork post before that. Comment if you like on what kind of art you want to see.

Beauty Haul

Hey

 

So I have got most of my online purchases (yay!) and I thought I would share what I got make up and beauty wise.

 

I am really a newbie at this whole make up thing so right now I'm building up my collection of make up and brushes so I can try to put on make up and not look horrible.  I'm also relying on make up tutorials on YouTube to help me which I hope goes well.

 

Through beauty blogs and videos I've heard that Real Technique brushes are very good and are also cheap which is a plus.  I brought a Blush Brush and a Setting Brush and hear they can be used for bronzing a powder as well.  I got these of Feel Unique which has free shipping which is awesome and I can't wait to try them.

 

While shopping for other things I found these to lip glosses I thought I might as well get them as well (typical).  They are both from Rimmel which is a brand I'm obsessed with and they are a nice pinkish red colour which I love.  The 1000 Kisses I got from Asos and is kind of like a highlighter pen that you put on your lips while the Apocalips has a traditional end and does not need much to cover my lips.  Both could be used for day or night with the Apocalips being more night depending on the colour.

 

Hope you enjoyed this post and feel free to suggest any products that are favourites of yours.

Favourtie Online Shopping Websites

Hey

So like every other girl I am obsessed with online shopping and tend to spend too much time on websites when I should be doing other things.  At present I am waiting on four separate orders to arrive which illustrates my problem.  This post is dedicated to the obsession that is online shopping and I would like to share some of my favourite sites where I love to shop on.

Boohoo

This site has been my go to for online shopping for clothes for a while now and I have bought a couple of cool pieces off it.  They used to have free shipping to New Zealand but now you have to spend over $30 to qualify for it but most of the cheapest items are 20-25 dollars and if you by more than one item its not hard to get free shipping.

Feel Unique
So I discovered this website via Nana Wintour and I am completely obsessed with it, mostly because it has free shipping.  I bought two Real Techniques make up brushes; the Blush Brush as well as the Setting Brush.  Real Techniques are not sold in New Zealand and they are really good brushes so I had to have them.  They do also sell makeup which is not good for my shopping habit, I also got a lip gloss by Rimmel London which is my favourite brand of makeup, its cheap and good quality. 

Once'it
This website is a New Zealand website and to get on it you have to get invited and it has a range of sales from designer clothes to home ware and accessories.  One thing they do that is cool is they sometimes have jewellery lucky dips in which you pay like eight dollars and you could either get a cheap piece of jewellery or a expensive designer piece.

Xo Beauty
Xo Beauty brushes are designed by Shaaanxo who does YouTube tutorial make up videos as well as other videos. She' a New Zealander and I am obsessed with her videos, every time I watch one my makeup wish list grows and I also discover new websites such as Pop Basic which every month there is a different look of like three pieces of clothing and on the websites there are also style tips of how to wear the pieces.  The brushes are amazing they are also reasonably priced which is also a plus.  I currently have the flat top brush which I use for putting on foundation and is really good.


Hope you enjoyed this post and if you have any go to online shopping websites feel free to share.
