American Haul!

I know I went to America ages ago but I havent had the time to write any posts recently and still want to write about what I bought over there. Better late than never!

Claires

3 cuff earings – they were on offer for buy 2 get 1 free so I paid $15 ($7.50 each)

I love these and I’d actually forgotten that I bought them!

Dollar General Store

Wet n Wild Mega last nail polish in the shade Blue Lagoon - $2.00

LA Colors flashpop! In the shade shooting star - $2.50

The Wet n Wild nail polish is great, the flashpop! on the other hand… Its rubbish don’t ever buy it, the only reason I bought it was because it looked like the Revlon nail varnishes.

 Toys 'R' Us

Cars Pez head - $2.29

Pez 8 pack candy refill - $2.29

This I think has to be one of my best buys! I’m a kid at heart. I just finished my last packet of Pez today which I am deeply saddened by. :(

 Target



L’oreal Paris Colour riche eyeshadow in the shade 312 army brat - $2.08 from $6.99

Sinfulcolours in the shades 300 easy going and 108 Thimblberry  -$1.99 each

eos lip balm strawberry sorbet - $2.99

elf clarifying pressed powder 1305 ivory - $1

You have to go to Target when in America! And I love everything that I bought there.

Walgreens

Carmex lip balm - $1.99

Jordana eyeliner in the shades seagreen and blue devie - $2.99 each

Both these products are great the only thing I would say though is that the eyeliner smudges quite quickly but the colours are great and the lip balm works really well.

Bath and Body works

5 hand sanitizers for £5

Watermelon  Lemonade sented candle

I love these hand sanitizers and they’re perfect for keeping in your handbag, my favourite is the apple scented one. I did another deal with my sister with the candle, they were on offer at 2 for $22 so I got this one for $11 an it smells amazing.

CVS 

Wet n Wild 8x mega impact Mascara - $4.29

Maybelline color tattoo in the shade Bad to the Bronze

I was running out of mascara so I bought this, mainly because of how cheap it was. It was good the first time I used it but after that it just dried up so I can’t use it now. The colour tattoo (Americans spell colour wrong!) It is incredible and the shade is so pretty, I wear it all the time now.

Perfumania

 

Can Can by Paris Hilton

XOXO by Mi Amore

These were in a 3 for $18 offer so I got these two and my sister got another. I’ll admit I didn’t know it by Paris Hilton when I bought it! But it smells amazing!!!

H+M

2 skirts for $10

I loved these skirts when I bought them but for some reason they don’t seem to lie flat when I wear them which I disappointing.

Random haul!

Ok so this post was meant to go up before I went on holiday but I put up other posts instead, sorry. Anyway this is the other stuff that I bought for my holiday (the other stuff I bought is in my Primark haul here) so here is a lovely haul for you :D

Black dress from New Look – £9.99

Everyone needs a black dress. I’ve never owned a black dress before but I was in New Look and my Mum pointed it out to me and I fell in love with it when I tried it on, so  bought it!

 

Mint coloured top from H+M - £6.99

I thought that this would be really handy in America as it’s thin and loose and it did end up keeping me nice and cool on holiday.

 

Royal blue coloured top from H+M - £6.99

This is the same as the other one but in royal blue.

 

Leopard print vest top from H+M - £3.99

I LOVE leopard print so I had to buy this top!

 

Stripy vest top from H+M - £3.99

This is the same as the other vest top but stripy.

 

Hoop earings from Peacock - £1.50

I’m not really a fan of Peacock, but I did pop in and I saw that there were some really cool pieces of jewellery on sale so I had to buy them! These earings are so cool, I have to admit that I can’t see myself wearing them an awful lot however I think they’ll be fun for some special occasions.

 

Flower earings from Peacock - £3.50

Again these were on sale and I think that they are absolutely stunning! I’ve already worn them loads!!!

 

Bodycon dress from Apricot - £10

This was on sale and my Sister and Mum picked it out for me. I have never worn bodycon dresses because I feel that they amplify EVERY lump and bump I have, however I bought it for three reasons 1. My Mum and sister said I looked good in it 2. I think I need to get out my comfort zone once in a while and 3. My Mum offered to buy it for me ;D I have now worn it a couple of times and I do love it now!

I hope that you have enjoyed this quick haul! I have one more after this with the stuff that I bought on holiday, but after that I think I need to stop buying things or I’ll end up bankrupt before I’m even 18!

Have you bought any cool stuff for holidays over this summer?

Big bun without a doughnut

This is not a hairstyle that I do often as it can be time consuming, however I was really proud of how this turned out so I thought I’d share with you how I did it. I do have to say that the way I do this style will probably only work on long hair.

Firstly, I find that I can’t make a really big bun with freshly washed hair so starting with hair that’s a day or two old works best. I start by brushing my hair in to a pony tail, bearing in mind that where the pony tail sits is going to end up being the centre of the bun.

This is the step that determines a good bun from a great bun. Taking sections from the pony tail back comb it. Really get in to it and create layers of hair. The aim is not to create a mattered mess (Although it kind of looks like that) the aim is to build up a big mass of hair that you can work with and style.

Next, once you've backcombed all the sections of hair, take all the hair and twist it (as though you’re doing a small twisted bun) around into the shape of a bun. It usually takes me at least 3 attempts until I get it right. Then Use bobby pins to secure it in place an fix any other bits around the edge.

Finally to jazz this look up a bit I added the flower band around it (featured in this haul)

Hopefully you enjoyed this post and will try out this look!
