Look What I Bought

Hello again,

I realise it's been over a week since I last blogged but I have been wrestling with my camera that whole time and it doesn't like me anymore!

However, I did manage to take some time out and do a little tiny bit of shopping. I was absolutely delighted to see Elle magazine had a free Soap and Glory mascara with it this month. I love Elle. I like Soap and Glory. I love mascara. What could go wrong? Well, I'm not all that thrilled with this particular mascara. I obviously don't hate it, because I'm still using it, but it's nothing special and I ALWAYS want special. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros
  1. Nice fat brush
  2. Builds up well
  3. Very black
  4. It's called Thick and Fast (he he!)
Cons
  1. After several hours I get those mascara flakes on my under eye area
  2. It doesn't make my lashes as thick as some other mascaras have
  3. I find the brush a tad scratchy
Overall though, I like it more than I don't and also I didn't have to pay the full £10 which takes the edge off.
 
I also bought a nail varnish from Marks and Spencer (bear with me) in 'Jade' and some sunglasses from H&M. They were 50p. Fifty pence!!! When I picked them up they were coated in this greasy, slimy kind of coating but I just washed them when I got home and BOOM - squeeky clean sunnies.
Also in H&M, I grabbed this two pack of studs. I'm so happy I did because looking through my earrings now it would appear that three quarters of them are hearts. I didn't see that happening!
 
Going back to the Marks and Spencer nail varnish, I actually already own three. I feel they're undiscovered and underated. I mean, who goes to into M&S to buy nail varnish? Well, me quite frankly, but thats only because they have fun colours, apply easily and dry kinda fast. Also, very importantly, they have the leaping bunny symbol, which is very good.


 
Thats all for now. Please leave a comment, I'd really love to hear from you!

Hello! My first blog. The birth of my blog if you will. This is a momentous occasion.

I've started this blog because I love clothes. Literally the highlight of my day is getting dressed. That's not to suppose it goes down hill from then on, but it is definitely what gets me out of bed in the morning.

I think there's so much potential with clothes. You can say a lot or a little; look like this or like that; attract or repulse. You can be what you want to be or who you are. There are so many options! Make up is a similar tool, but I've come to that much later. Quite a bit later actually.

Here are my blog resolutions
  1. I will blog about anything that floats my boat
  2. I will try my best to post consistently
  3. I will share what I actually wear
  4. I will always give my honest opinion


Expect OOTD's, wish lists (because I always want stuff), reviews of the stuff I buy, general wonderings and maybe a few Eye of the Day's (if I like the make up I'm wearing that day).

I hope you find this blog interesting/useful/entertaining. Please leave comments, I'd love to hear from you!


Here I am having a blast!
